I seem to have said that a few times lately, but it’s true isn’t it? It’s got to the state that if we drop any points, it’ll be a massive setback, because there are too many teams that are more…

Lansbury in the bag; Pros and Cons
I have to say straight off that I’m not 100% convinced by the source, which is HITC; http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/01/11/aston-villa-set-to-land-henri-lansbury/page/1/ Since when have they ever been first in coming out with Villa news? Whatever, I’m willing to stick my neck on the…

Spurs 2 – 0 Villa; Good and bad
Well, we didn’t totally embarrass ourselves, but that was frankly rubbish wasn’t it? The first half, I couldn’t understand what we were trying to do, as it seemed we were trying to play for a draw, which wouldn’t have suited…

Spurs – Villa; FA cup time and it could get scary
I’m sure many of you know my views on the cup. While it’s not as popular as it used to be, it’s still holds a big attraction for me, even though it’s become lessened by the bigger teams putting out…

Cardiff 1 – 0 Villa; A demoralising loss
Well, I listened to that and it sounded awful in the first half. As I suggested in the preview, a lot revolved around how our midfield performed. And when I saw that Mile Jedinak wasn’t going to start, I immediately…

Cardiff – Villa Preview; Someone has to step up.
Cardiff away next then and what to think? The bad news is that it seems Kodjia won’t be able to play, as the Ivory coast won’t allow him to join them late. To be honest, I don’t have a problem…

Form. What’s it like?
I’ve been trying to assess how well we’ve done (or not) at this stage of the season and form came into the equation. Now, after the dire form that we’d shown during Di Matteo’s reign, I expected our current form…

Villa 1 -1 Leeds; A fair result? I’m not convinced
I’m still on a high, as the game did become entertaining in the last few minutes, but I can’t say the same for probably the previous eighty minutes. I believe Steve Bruce was playing this one with view not to…

Villa 2 – 1 Burton; Rubbish, but we won
Ok, it wasn’t great, but we quite simply got another three points. Yes, I know, I’ve seen the stats, where it seems they were the better side. Indeed, it sounded like it too. But what more can we ask for,…

Villa – Burton; Looking forward to it.
God knows what that picture’s about, but it works for me! I don’t know why really, but I’ve been looking forward to this fixture, nearly as much as the away version. I mean, with the utmost respect, Burton are a…

QPR 0 -1 Villa: The wheels are back on.
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x55lx9r_qpr-vs-aston-villa-0-1-championship-all-goals-highlights-18-12-2016_sport I have to say I really enjoyed that game as much as any I’ve watched in a while. Okay, the quality wasn’t the best, but I felt the team did what I mostly want and that’s keep the pace…

Norwich 1 – 0 Villa; A self inflicted result?
While I was never wholly confident about beating Norwich, I did find myself thinking along the same lines as Oohah, in that Norwich had only won one in seven games and maybe we might not be the victims of a…

Villa 1 – 0 Wigan; A late winner via a Grealish early xmas cracker VIDEO
Click the link for the video; http://www.goalsarena.org/en/video/england-championship/10-12-2016-aston-villa-wigan-athletic-championship.html I only heard the second half on BBC WM while I was on my way back from work. And jeez, the game sounded desperate with the first half apparently being equally bad. Wigan…

Leeds a mere setback, Spurs away in the cup and a big winter window
Well, the Leeds game bit me on the arse just as I said it probably would in the preview. I ought to know better really, but I much prefer to feel optimistic than pessimistic; which means that while I was…
-
Leeds – Villa: Another big one
I’ve seen Leeds comments that have suggested that this is a massive fixture. And indeed it is. The current top two big clubs in the Championship are us and Newcastle; that’s without doubt, in my opinion. The next level might…
-
Cardiff – Villa; I expect the win
Well, that’s my balls fair and square on the block. I just think we’re going to win this, it’s that simple. Let’s do the team news. Apparantly, McCormack and Gabby both have ankle injuries. Er, read they aren’t playing then,…

Brighton 1 – 1 Villa; We deserved that one
Well, I’ve called another one correctly for once and while I’m happy with that point, I’m also disappointed as I think we should have won that. We had the best of the play overall, created the best chances and the…

Brighton – Villa; tough game, Jedinak pivotal
I’ve actually had a good few hours to think about this one, but I’m finding it difficult to make a call. Team news first and we know Jedinak is unlikely to play after all the flying he’s done lately. Or…

Thoughts turn to Brighton and other stuff
Or should it be; As I’m sure more than a few fans will be making a weekend of it. Anyway…. In any normal week I’d still be digesting our last game, but all I had to think about was England’s…

Where do we see McCormack’s future?
Let me start by saying I like McCormack. He’s a class player, at least at Championship level, that much is obvious. He has good vision and a deft touch, that has led to him setting up a fair few goals…
