It’s only a brief initial reaction, but that result will do, won’t it? I jumped in the car after work around half time, expecting to hear the commentary on radio WM. Only to find it was on D.A.B, which I…

Villa – Blackburn; a shoe-in?
We all know there aren’t any easy games in the Championship. Everyone says so and it’s a nice excuse to use when we haven’t done as well in games as we thought. But while I’ve no doubt the Blackburn game…

The Prem clubs and Villa should pay the living wage to it’s workers
I’ve just been browsing the news, as I do everyday looking for anything of particular interest regarding the Villa. And I’ve just come across a story where Everton have committed to pay it’s employees the living wage. If you’re as…

Blues 1 – 1 Villa: I’ll take that point
Blimey, I actually predicted a game correctly. It makes a change, as I haven’t even been able to pick my nose, let alone a result, for ages. I can’t say it was a convincing performance, as in truth Blues looked…
-
Blues – Villa; The first big one.
I’ve been looking to post something about the game for a couple of days at least, but I’m not really sure what to say or to think, to be honest. We all know how big the game is and you…

Villa 1 – 0 Fulham; Was that the turning point?
Oh man, I’m in the middle of a bout of Manflu and it’s really bad. So bad that I took a day off today. If you consider that the days I’ve had off in ten years through illness could probably…
-
Villa – Fulham; Can we make it back to back wins?
It’s sod’s law isn’t it? No disrespect to Fulham, but this is a fixture that’s never really excited me, as it’s always looked drawish (is there such a word?). And if you’d asked me the result before the Reading game,…

Reading 1 – 2 Villa; All hail the new Messiah! (maybe)
Well that was an awesome listen that reminded me of some of our finest hours, I have to say. I didn’t see the game, but it had pretty much everything about it and can I just mention, was backed up…
-
Reading – Villa; Not at all confident
The games are coming thick and fast aren’t they? Which is exactly what we could have done without at the moment as Steve Bruce is hardly going to get any time to go through tactics, let alone get some proper…
-
Villa 1-1 Wolves; Plenty for Bruce to ponder
I don’t know which manager will be more annoyed today, Zenga or Bruce. Zenga will probably come away from Villa park wondering how his team failed to collect the three points. Whereas Bruce will be fuming that we just looked…
-
Villa – Wolves; looking forward to it, but with some unease.
It’s a funny old game isn’t it? A few years ago, we’d have said there was no chance of Steve Bruce ever managing the Villa, but that’s exactly where we are today. I for one am happy about it. Why?…

All we are saying is give Bruce a chance!, Appointment tomorrow
Well it’s hardly a surprise, but it looks like Bruce will be announced as our latest manager tomorrow, with Keith Bertschin, Stephen Clemence and Gary Walsh joining the background staff, according to the Telegraph; www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/10/11/aston-villa-to-appoint-steve-bruce-as-manager-on-wednesday/ The Beeb are running the…

Getting impatient? Don’t worry, it won’t be long, imo.
It seems the natives are getting restless! Or at least some of us are. And to be fair, I can understand, as it’s become seemingly more obvious day by day that Steve Bruce is the man who’s going to be…
-
POLL; Simple question; Bruce, yes or no?
Ok, I’ve stuck my neck on the block and said that I believe Steve Bruce is the man that we should appoint as our next manager. But I’ve also seen some disagree vehemently, which is of course, fair enough. We…

RDM sacking confirmed
I’d like to say I’m glad. But the truth is I’m not. We now have to pretty much start from scratch, with a new manager having to get to know the players and all that involves. That said, Roberto Di…

Preston 2 – 0 Villa; RDM sacked in the morning?
I like to think I’m a pretty patient bloke. I was slow in calling for Lambert out and I was slow calling for Sherwood to go. And I think the Villa away fans are similar in being patient. But you…
-
Preston NE – Villa; I’m almost too scared to predict
I’ve cooled down somewhat after the Barnsley game, but I certainly haven’t got over it and unless things change quickly I think I’ve lost all faith in the manager. I noted that RDM stated in the presser that he believes…
-
Barnsley 1- 1 Villa; A post full of expletives!
I’ve had enough of this shit. I didn’t see the game, but listened to it on AVTV. And what a bloody waste of £5 a month it’s turned out to be. Why the hell do I keep putting myself through…
-
Barnsley – Villa; Penultimate chance saloon?
I’d have said last chance, but it seems the press are reporting that RDM might get the Preston game too and I suppose that’s fair enough. It’s not that I want RDM gone for the sake of it. It’s just…
-
I’ve decided; RDM out.
I said I was considering my thoughts about the Newcastle game and I’ve come to my conclusion, which is that RDM has to go. I know. It’s not logical and we’re only one game from going on a run, which…
