I’m worried about today. We face Newcastle at home and the truth is I don’t have the foggiest idea about how this game is going to go. It’s easy to take a pessimistic view and look at our form compared…

Ipswich 0 -0 Villa; Good and bad
If you’d have offered me the draw prior to the game, I’d have taken it and to throw in a clean sheet is an added bonus, even though it seems we’re expected to win every game we play in this…

Villa 1 – 1 Brentford; Not again!
So once again Villa have drawn a game after we took the lead from a good Kodjia strike, only for it to be cancelled out by an 87th minute equaliser. And quite simply, this isn’t good enough. I said earlier…

Villa – Brentford; A “must win”?
Yes, I know. It’s a phrase that’s used all the time, but is this game a “must win”?. On the face of it, it probably isn’t really, as the season will not be decided by what happens in the next…

Do any of us still doubt Xia’s financial clout?
I mentioned it as a reply in the previous post, but it seems Dr Xia is saying that not a penny of the Premier league parachute payment has gone towards the transfer window. That is massively interesting in itself to…

Villa 2-2 Forest; So frustrating!
I only managed to listen to most of the first half on the way home from work and managed to part watch the second half while I was finishing work at home. So while I can’t really say I watched…
-
Villa – Forest; Easy?
Just as I thought I’d got the weekend off and could get to see the game, so I’ve now been asked to help out on another job, which means I don’t have a hope in hell of watching it live.…

All quiet; except we could have had Jordan Rhodes
There’s not really much to report, as what’s out there is pretty meaningless and mostly going over the transfer window, which erm, has finished. To be fair, I’ve quite liked the Birmingham Mail’s timeline thing, but you have to feel…

Our lack of goals isn’t down to the strikers; It’s the midfield
Apparently there’s some England game coming up, which is frankly annoying and just disturbs the proper footy season, to my mind. So yesterday I asked a question about Westwood and I don’t think it was really answered. The consensus seemed…
-
The pros and cons of Westwood; Convince me he’s not a waste of space
I’ve been a constant critic of Westwood, I’ll say that from the off. I think he’s far too negative and quite simply goes for the easy pass, which is generally sidewards or backwards. While I’d happily agree that you need…

The transfer window; great business overall
There are two hours before this summer’s window closes as I write and unless something happens that we don’t know about, the arrival of Albert Adomah from Middlesbrough will probably wrap up what’s been an overall excellent bit of business.…

Kodjia; I don’t see it
It would appear we’ve missed out on the seeming number one target striker that was Abel Hernandez and we’ve signed the Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia. You guys are already all over the story; that’s clear. But I seriously worry…
-
Bristol City 3 – 1 Villa; It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Okay, so I called this one totally wrong. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last, I can assure you of that. And while I’m very downbeat after this result, I really think we need to put…

Bristol City – Villa: A preview of sorts and thoughts on things going on
Bristol City away should be a banker and straightaway I think it will be; I’ll say that from the start. That perhaps seems high-handed on my part, but sorry, Bristol fans, I expect to beat your team, it’s as simple…

Where Villa stand in the top 50 brand index
THE TOP 50 BRAND INDEX (Download the PDF) I know many of you might not care about this, but I quite like these sort of listings, as even though we’ve been going through tough times in the last few seasons,…

Derby 0 – 0 Villa; Ultimately disappointing, but still a decent point
Derby have been consistently up amongst the Championship league challengers for the last 3 years or so from memory and if you’d offered me a draw away to them before the season began, I’d have snatched your hand off. It’s…
-
Jedinak in, good signing and Lescott out, good riddance
It’s official then and Mile Jedinak is now a Villa player. This is a great signing in my opinion and one that’s been designed to give us some decent bite in midfield, which we’ve lacked for far too long. Or…

Dalian Atkinson RIP
I’m sure most of you are aware that one of our ‘Legends’ passed away today. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/updates-ex-villa-star-dalian-11749832 At the time of writing we do not know the full details of what happened other that he was allegedly tasered by the police…

Villa 3 – Rotherham 0; A win, finally!
Game highlights here I listened to the game on AVTV and it sounds like we played quite well overall. Of course the point has been made on here by certain fans, that Rotherham are a poor team, but you can…

Villa – Rotherham; Surely a win today?
So there’s no way I can get to the game and there aren’t any live streams available. Hence I’ve decided to give AVTV a go for the live commentary. I used to listen occasionally a while back and wasn’t impressed,…
