Or a damp squib? I’ll bet you know exactly what I’m going to say, because you’re no doubt thinking the same thing. Even if you’re not, I’m fairly confident that there will be at least a bit of niggle at…

Brentford 1 – 2 Villa; Great win, but a really poor show
I’m sighing as I think what to write. What the hell was that? To my mind, the result has been totally outdone by some of the scenes we saw. I really wouldn’t be surprised if both clubs are charged with…

Redevelopment: Is the current situation the right solution?
It’s only a quick one, but it’s something I’ve often thought about too. I’m really not convinced the plan to rebuild solely the North stand has ever been the solution and it should be the Witton lane that should be…

Villa 1 – 0 Arsenal; Shattered, but the lads dug it out.
The post will come later, hopefully. Immediate thoughts. Invincibles? More like untouchables, given the amount of frees they were given. How easy do they go down? I’d suggest it’s nearly as much as Carra does on any of the top…

Villa – Arsenal; Mmmm, tasty
It’s another one that has “great game to watch” written all over it, isn’t it? After watching the cracker that was Luton 3 – 4 Arsenal, where I was gutted for Luton, I came away with the thought that the…

Villa 1- 0 Man City: City battered and lucky to get away so lightly
Stunned. Just stunned. I’ll update as I get my thoughts together, but we’ve just gone third, 2 points above City. Wow. I’m still breathless. I’ll cut to the quick. We totally destroyed the the Champion’s league holder. I’m listening to…

Villa – Man City; Bring it on! or maybe not.
I thought I’d better do a bit more research, so decided to watch the Luton-Arsenal game last night. I’d started by watching the Wolves game, but didn’t think too much of it. Anyway, because the picture quality was so poor…

Bournemouth 2 – 2 Villa; I’ll take it, but not good enough.
Let me say from the off, that I thought we were decidedly poor today. But then again, there’s no doubt to my mind that the Cherries should have been down to ten men quite early on, after Semenyo already had…

Bournemouth – Villa; Not sure
You’re probably aware that the site hasn’t been working properly lately. I can only apologise. I’ve tried numerous things to sort it and it seems it may be partly fixed. I’d reach out to WordPress, which setup and maintains the…

Villa – Legia Warsaw; I think we’ll win. Convincingly.
Blimey, I’ve nailed my colours to the mast there, haven’t I? But the fact is, it is what I think. That’s done for that, then, knowing my predictions. Legia beat us 3-2 on their turf and we really weren’t very…

Spurs 1 – 2; Top 4 and justifying ourselves
The word “breathless” was used a few times in the commentary I listened to and it was a very apt description for this game. I think we all sort of had an idea of how the game was going to…

Are sale/buyback deals a good idea?
So the Jaden Philogene deal has been talked about again and I thought it might make a decent topic for conversation which can help take our minds off the borefest that was the international break. As if anyone didn’t know,…

Villa 3 – 1 Fulham; Outstanding
I’m blown away by how good that was to watch. I wouldn’t say we were 100% better than Fulham, as the cottagers did have a couple of spells where they dominated, but we were a good 75-80% better than them.…
-
Villa – Fulham; Looks drawish to me
I quite like Fulham as a club. When you consider their resources and the fact that they’re not very fashionable, you have to admire how they keep ticking over in the big boys league and aren’t the perennial strugglers you’d…
-
Forest 2 – 0 Villa; Normal service resumed
You have to laugh, don’t you? Just as things were looking good, so we go and lose to a team that on paper suggests that we shouldn’t have. I think it might have been the God Clough who first said…
-
Villa; The real deal.
Apologies for not writing about the game. It’s just been hectic after my hols. Many of us were wary about the Luton game and rightly so because it was just the sort of game we could have lost. The thinking…

Az Alkmaar 1- 4 Villa; Spanked. Who are ya?
What was I worried about? Is it unfair of me to say that AZ played like a bunch of total amateurs? Truthfully, I don’t think it is and my over-riding thought was that they need to learn how to play…

AZ Alkmaar – Villa; Only one question really
Thanks for contributing to some good debate in the last thread, chaps. I Really enjoyed that. Anyway this early evening (thanks for alerting me about that Bum bum) we face an Alkmaar side who are bang in form and have…

Villa 4-1 West Ham; A different game
Some of you might be old enough and perhaps a bit zany, like me, in having been Python and particularly Eric Idle and Rutles fans. In which case I’m going to quote George Harrison and say “I’m shocked and stunned.…

Villa – West Ham; An interesting game?
So I’d just arrived at the bar in anticipation of some long-awaited proper football for me and a bit of egg chucking for the missus when I saw a young chap in a claret and blue shirt. As you do,…
