Yes, I know. Some of you will be on me like a ton of bricks, because you thought we were poor. Indeed we were, at times. Forest put us under massive pressure early on and it took us the best…

Villa – Nottingham Forest; Just blindly hoping for a win
Perhaps it’s just me, but I have to be honest in saying that my interest in this season is massively waning at the moment. There’s just nothing for me to get excited about. The league cup defeat left me on…

Villa 0 – 2 Boro; a total waste of time
The line-up that Steve Bruce had selected for this game left me bemused and almost despondent when I saw it. I don’t know why, as we all expected it. Was it ten or eleven changes? Not that it mattered much.…

Villa – Boro; No doubt a weakened side, but some good news too
For those who don’t already know, I hate the fact that we play weakened sides in the cups. I believe we should play every game to do our utmost to win, simple. I can hear your thoughts straight away. “It’s…

Barnsley 0 – 3 Villa; A very comfortable win. Have we turned the corner?
Ladeezs and Gentlemeeeen, it gives me great pleasure…. To announce an excellent win, where there was literally nothing to complain about. My God, how nice it feels to say that. We got the first goal, that I felt was always…

Barnsley – Villa; I don’t know what to think here
I could rattle on about the Boro game, but it’s pretty much all been said, with some thinking we were utter rubbish and some thinking we were massively unlucky in not scoring. Me, I sit somewhere in-between in thinking we…

Villa – Boro; Bruce’s future in the balance?
The games come thick and fast then and it’s the first of two meetings at home to Middlesborough in a week (we play them in the League cup, in case you’d forgotten) and while the result is as important as…

Villa 0 – 0 Brentford; Was that good enough? You tell me.
After the Bristol City game I said that things weren’t good enough and got crucified by some for it. I didn’t see or even hear any of today’s game, so can’t comment. All I do know is that Johnstone made…

Villa – Brentford: Do we expect three points? POLL
Well the good news is that the proper footy is back. There’s more good news, in that Hutton and Samba are both fit and available for selection. Hmm. But the really good news is that Jonathan Kodjia is really close…

Elphick to Turkey? 60K stadium and back to real footy.
First up is an article that suggests that Tommy Elphick might be off to Turkey, via newly promoted to the Super Lig club Goztepe; I can’t say I’ve heard of the club, let alone the site reporting it, so who…

Transfer deadline day: I don’t see much happening.
Here we are then and where it might normally be a fairly exciting day for us Villa fans, I’ll be quite surprised if much happens at all. One player we definitely won’t see coming in is Pierre-Michel Lasogga, the 25-year-old…

Bristol City 1 – 1 Villa: Not good enough.
I watched this, but actually managed to miss our goal and the highlights of it, somehow; go figure. Either way, it doesn’t matter. Why we started with Samba in a back three against a well known lively Bristol attack, is…

Great win over Wigan and Bristol tomorrow, plus no kids for sale
To be honest, when I saw the teamsheet for the Wigan game, I immediately lost any interest and couldn’t be bothered to try and find a stream. So I just tracked here and the OS for the latest news, while…

Villa – Wigan; A home banker?
The Carabao cup then, or as I still call it, the League cup. I have total contempt for anything that changes it’s name every five minutes and it’s this that has helped diminish the standing of this trophy, just the…

Villa 4 – 2 Norwich; What a difference a game makes!
Well, well, what on earth has happened since the Reading game? It’s no exaggeration to say we looked a totally different side to what we’ve seen up to now, this season. I’m totally flummoxed as to what the answer to…

Reading 2 – 1 Villa; Panic on the streets of Birmingham
Ah yes, the Smiths. They knocked out some good tunes, didn’t they? I’m sure someone has probably used that as a headline before, so I apologise. But it just seems so apt. You’ll notice that I’ve been leaving my ramblings…

Cardiff 3 – 0 Villa; The clamour begins
Oh dear, oh dear, what to say? I had the game on Radio WM, but the site’s SSL security certificate ran out which meant that you were probably seeing a warning about the site being unsafe. Let me reassure you,…

Colchester, Amavi gone, Bacuna about to be and a tough game against Cardiff
I had said I was going to do a post about the Colchester game, but unfortunately I just didn’t get time. Suffice to say, I wasn’t happy at what I saw with us making so many changes. My thinking was…
-
Villa 1 -1 Hull; belated thoughts, good and bad.
I could have posted this straight after the game, but felt the overwhelming sense of disappointment that I felt after us only taking a point, would have seriously clouded my judgement. It seems I wasn’t alone either, having read plenty…

The proper footy starts tomorrow, Hurray. And Welcome Josh Onomah
So we’ll be up and running again by this time tomorrow and about time too. It’s rubbish when we aren’t doing the serious stuff, isn’t it? That said, it’s my firm belief that strange things can happen in the first…
