Ok, most of you hopefully know my way of thinking. While I try to be positive and enthusiastic on the whole, I also like to think that I can be very quick to condemn/complain about the club or the team.…

Villa – Stoke; We can win this one… can’t we? Banners banned and a poll.
We all know we’ve made a poor start to the season, but Stoke’s is equally as bad, given that they’ve played four games at home and three away. We’ve played three at home and four away and if we can…

Joe Cole Asks for a Championship Loan
Midfielder Joe Cole has reportedly talked to Tim Sherwood over a possible loan move to a Championship club as he currently has been limited to a short appearance in the Capital One Cup game against Notts County in August. Cole…

Top 5 Players in September
It has been a poor month, not a single League victory and we have slid down into the relegation zone. However there were 5 players who stood out in September and it’s important to recognise that. Last months review can…

Injury Update: Okore Nearing First Team Football
Jores Okore is nearing a return to the first team after completing 90 minutes of football in Villa’s U21 game against West Brom. Okore has been out all summer after having surgery on his knee over the summer. Hopefully Okore…

Top 5 Flops of August & September
It has been a poor month to say the least, but lets look at the top 5 players who have struggled the past two months or have given little to no impact to the starting 11. Looking at just one…

Lescott Is Way Past It
Joleon Lescott recently moved to Aston Villa from West Brom for a fee of £2 million as Sherwood looked to add experience to the backline following the departure of Ron Vlaar. And yet, he has yet to improve the defence…

Liverpool 3 – 2 Villa; The scoreline flattered us
If you actually watched the game live, you’d probably be saying that we played far too deep, for far too long. Something I’d agree with at face value. But my more overwhelming feeling is that we didn’t help ourselves as…

Liverpool – Villa; Tough one to call
There’s been a lot of talk in the press about this game, for the obvious reason that if we manage to beat Pool at Anfield, then it might well mean Brendan Rodgers will get the bullet on Monday. And if…

Villa – Blues; The big one’s back again!
Well, it’s certainly a big one for the blues fans and definitely their cup final this season, regardless of what happens, isn’t it? Because if they do beat us, even if they were to get relegated this season, they’d still…

Gestede Not the Benteke Replacement
When Rudy Gestede scored his first goal for Aston Villa, in the first game against Bournemouth. It seemed as though we may have found a replacement with Benteke, after scoring a towering header. 5 games and that statement couldn’t be…

Villa 0 – 1 Albion; Sadly, they deserved it.
Villa 0-1 West Brom Jack Woodward full time report That was poor wasn’t it? I’m struggling to think of a single player who produced anything like a noteworthy performance today, although if I was forced it would probably have been…

Villa – Albion; I predict a good game
I like this Derby. While it doesn’t have quite the er, edge that the Villa-Blues one does, it’s pretty much the same, in that the enmity is there, but it’s played in a more gentlemanly way, in my opinion. Let’s…

Should Kozak Play?
Libor Kozak is making the headlines, not necessarily front page material but his recent goal against Brighton in the U21’s hasn’t gone unnoticed. Whilst Villa’s other strikers aren’t firing, Kozak had a good performance against Brighton, hitting the crossbar with a…

Carles Gil Takes His Chance
Whilst I am absolutely furious in the manner in which Aston Villa threw away the game against Leicester. I think I’ll be better off if I think a little more positively. The thought of positivity made me think about Carles…

Leicester 3 – 2 Villa; What on earth happened?
I’m shocked. I can’t believe we lost that game, but we did, somehow. We started so well and the main talking point about the first half is that we looked very comfortable and dominated overall, in my opinion. We controlled…
-
Leicester – Villa next up
and it’s about time for me, as the internationals just bore me witless. England competing for a trophy is about the same as Villa winning the league, in that there’s no chance. Leicester are probably strong favourites after their very…

Top 5 Players in August
In August Aston Villa played 5 games, won 2, drew 1 and lost 2. But who stood out during the first month of football? I’ll make a short count down of who I think were the top 5 players of…

How’s the leg, Fabian Delph?
I’ve always liked Delph, as I’m sure many of you will know. Even at his low points, where he looked poor in an even more poor team, I always supported him. Ok, I might have slipped occasionally in that view,…

Capital cup 3rd round; Blues get 2800 tickets and an appeal
I’ve noticed there have been no comments on the blues only getting 2,800 tickets for the Capital cup game at Villa park. I have to confess, I was somewhat disappointed when I saw that, as the Villa-blues derby is still…
