What is it about the Villa going down to ten men? That’s the third time in four games I believe and it’s either incredible bad luck or there’s something basically wrong. I’m tempted to go with the first option myself.…

I’m sorry that I never wrote a review of the Swansea game, but the truth is we had a load of family round and I never really got to see much of the second half. Certainly not enough to write…

I trust you all had a good Christmas? Mine was busy, but not as hectic as usual. Boxing day has come around again then and the lads are up against Swansea in a match that intrigues me, in that I…

For me this is a super result, where contrary to some views I was hearing during the game, we had lost this at half time. When you consider that we went down to ten men and United can replace the…

Heh, I do love it when I sneak out of work early, especially when it’s to watch a game. Onto the serious stuff though and so much for Lambert giving us a surprise. It’s exactly the team we probably should…

Here we go again then, another match against the team that’s bottom of the league. It’s one that really ought to be a shoe-in, but these days I have such little confidence in the Villa being able to beat anybody,…

I’m sorry, but if you think I have anything good to say apart from the result, you’re going to be highly disappointed. I seriously don’t remember such a “backs to the wall” performance in all the time I’ve supported the…

It’s going to be a very brief preview, as I quite simply want to get us back to talking about the Villa. The biggest news of course, is that Benteke the Beast will be back for this game and his…
