I just happened to call for Sherwood the day before he was appointed, at the time. So I got lucky, it was as simple as that. It was just the logical suggestion and I don’t profess to have any insider…

Gary O’Neil Linked, Exactly the type of player we need!
Norwich city midfielder Gary O’Neil has been linked with a free transfer to Aston Villa this week. O’Neil’s contract will be expiring at the end of the season, and as Villa prepare for the Championship, the club is looking to…

The Bournemouth game and redundancies
I called the 1-2 loss spot on for once. Not that I’m glad about it, but it was about the only highlight of my Saturday afternoon. While I was at work as the game was being played, I actually could…

Let’s Just Get It Over With
These past few months have been rough, really rough. Aston Villa haven’t won a game in 12 games, and just won two Premier League games all season. Its no surprise why Villa fans aren’t coming to the stadium, why fans…

Villa – Bournemouth; Who will start? Is anyone really bothered?
Sorry if I’m struggling to put much enthusiasm across, but we all know relegation is a foregone conclusion. Most of us have known for weeks if not months, but it seems that the fact that if Norwich do better than…

Villa 0 – 4 Chelsea; others thoughts as well as mine.
Given the state that the club is in, we haven’t had many people submit posts over the last few months, but I got hit with a couple shortly afer the game yesterday and here they are, first from “Richard Webb”;…

Manager speculation and the Chelsea game
Well the poll in the last post I wrote is interesting, isn’t it? David Moyes is by far the most popular choice with a fraction over 50% of the vote and even though I said I’m not entirely convinced he’d…

Garde leaves and the board have to make one of the most important choices ever.
That’s it then. The inevitable has happened and we find ourselves in search of a new manager. From what I’ve read, compensation was agreed at around the £1,000,000 figure and if that’s true I think we got off lightly even…

Yet another manager payoff; Only this time we’re haggling hard
If the press are to be believed, the only reason Remi Garde hasn’t been sacked is because he and the club can’t agree on his compensation. I’m not surprised, as we apparently have most of a proper team running the…

Revelations in the Telegraph; I’m almost speechless.
Obviously I can’t be speechless, as I’m writing this, but it’s fair to say that the latest article in the The Telegraph has just left me truly stunned. We all knew things were bad, but some of the things that…
-
Garde hasn’t gone yet, but Moyes is chomping at the bit to manage us.
Well, ok maybe “chomping at the bit” is a bit of an exaggeration, but the Mirror seem to think that he’s definitely interested in taking charge of the club. I’d seen something similar earlier, while glancing at the news yesterday…

Garde’s departure looking imminent and some insight as to how neutrals see the Villa.
Remi Garde obviously hasn’t gone yet, but if the Evening Mail are to be believed, it’s looking mighty close. All the typical circumstances are indicated. Garde has been in France since the Swansea game (edit: just for clarity, apparently to…

Swansea; we lost. Looking like Garde’s a goner
Let’s get the review out of the way. I didn’t see it and didn’t really need too. We conceded a goal early in the second half, again from a stupid defensive mistake (this time on Guzan’s part) and then failed…
-
Garde out, Yorke in? perhaps not.
God, you’re lucky. Not only do you support the finest club in the world, but you get to read my thoughts two days running! Ok, forget that; I’m just in a daft mood at this stupid time of the day,…
-
Almstadt gone; more to follow, surely? And banners out on 74.
I know, I’m behind the loop in commenting on this story, but it’s been for a reason, as I’ve been thinking about why we’ve sacked him at this particular time. And make no mistake, this wasn’t “mutual agreement”. He was…

Villa 0 – 2 Spurs; Rubbish
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, so they probably did today. While I think the players did actually try in the first half, it could easily have been about 0-4 at the break, after Brad Guzan made…
-
Villa – Spurs; A foregone conclusion?
So we were at work yesterday evening and our crew nipped outside for a coffee and a smoke, where the talk turned to footy. One of the lads asked who the Villa had got next and I said “Spurs at…
-
Villa accounts/losses; Shocking…. Or are they?
There’s some interesting news coming out about the Villa lately and it’s another subject where I just need to stick my two bob’s worth in. The headline figure says we’ve lost £27.3 million in the year ended May 15. And…

Who’ll stay and who’ll go? and the Prem agree a £30 cap for away fans.
Reading the news, it seems that the speculation has moved on from “if the Villa go down” to “what’ll happen when they do?” And it’s a fair question, seeing as the odds for us staying up are probably on a…

The city game, Garde out-Bruce in and other depressing thoughts.
As is often the case these days, I had to work and missed the Man City game. I did though belatedly realise MOTD was on and managed to turn over for it just as they were analysing what I think…
