    First off, I suppose I have to say congratulations to Man City for winning the Champions league and a rare treble. Not that I think it’ll remain such a rare achievement. Man City are quite frankly, ridiculously dominant and if…

  • Villa 2 – 1 Brighton; They fought like lions. Europe!

    My usual viewing source went down, plain and simple. Which meant my frantically trying to sort it out just meant I missed the whole of the first half. I never got the second either and had to look elsewhere. Fortunately…

  • Villa – Brighton; Massive game, looking forward to it.

    The final day then and hopefully, it’ll be a great one. The ideal scenario is that we win and Leeds and Everton go down. Leeds because of my dislike of them and the Toffees, just because they haven’t before and…

  • Liverpool 1-1 Villa; A defensive tactical masterpiece.

    Consider this. If we win against Brighton next week, we are guaranteed Europe, whether it’s the Europa or the Conference. Even if we lose, we still stand a chance. How nuts is that? Consider where we were when we sacked…

    I’ve been to this fixture three times over the years and it’s another game I’ve always looked forward to. Liverpool are another team who have been good to watch over the years, the 80’s apart, where they bored me witless…

  • Villa 2 -1 Spurs; nervy, but totally deserved. What an awful ref!

    Well, I thought we totally deserved that. The first half, we looked like a real top, competing for the title side, in the way we controlled the game. We played a very high defensive line that made me a bit…

  • Villa – Spurs; More hopeful than expectant.

    I don’t think I’m particularly tight, but I don’t like to waste money either. So after leaving my job last week and being in no massive rush to get back to work, I’ve got a good chance to do a…

  • Wolves 1 – 0 Villa; Dirty Wolves did a job on us and deserved it.

    Well, it wasn’t pleasant viewing, but I’m trying to keep my neutral head on and it says they were value for their win. We looked the better team by far, but some shocking defending meant they scored from an admittedly…

    Fair enough, I got a bit complacent in hoping for a win in this game, but it’s what you do when you’re on a 10 game streak, isn’t it? I’m sure I wasn’t alone in thinking that we could beat…

  • Man U – Villa; Shock, horror. I actually think we can win this!

    I don’t know if my thoughts will make sense to anyone else or not, but I’m really full of confidence for this game. I know, it’s away to Man U and we never win there. But I haven’t seen anything…

  • Villa 1 – 0 Fulham; A strange game, but fifth!

    I’m working in Sheffield and just didn’t get time to write beforehand, apologies. But I did get to see the game and it was just an odd one, wasn’t it? We looked decent in the first half, while Fulham looked…

    I don’t even know if I’ll get to watch this one, as I’m half expecting a text asking me to work tomorrow. At the minute I’m hopeful that I do get to watch it though. So it’s Brentford away, which…

    I’m just totally blown away. That was the best performance I’ve seen from the Villa in years, if you consider we were playing one of the highest level teams. The reasons seemed manifold, mostly because we out-Newcastled Newcastle in pressing…

    I’m starting this early, because I’ve got a grueling shift coming on tomorrow and probably won’t be too interested in writing anything before the game. I’ve been looking forward to this game for a few weeks now, because it seems…

  • Villa 2 – 0 Forest; Tedious, but what a result. Sixth!

    Lets get the bad bit out of the way. What a load of rubbish that was to watch. My son in law(ish) said the same and even the grandkids admitted it wasn’t very good. Given how easily pleased they are,…

    Well, well, well, it would seem I’m on as much of a roll as the lads are and I think that’s 4 consecutive correct calls I’ve made. Don’t worry, It’s not going to my head as I know full well…

  • Leicester – Villa; Can I make it 4 out of 4 predictions correct?

    So Leicester have bulleted come to a mutual agreement with Brendan Rodgers, that basically sees him gone. If he was still there, I’d have predicted a pretty straightforward win for us. I still lean that way,but I’ve read a comment…

    I just didn’t find time to write before the game I just couldn’t be arsed to write anything is the truth. I could have squeezed it in, but I find I’m falling asleep quite early on nowadays, hence my time…

    I got another call right then and it was that we would beat the Cherries soundly. Wahey, I’m on a roll, with two consecutive good predictions. We’ll gloss over the fact that I’m usually wrong. It wasn’t particularly straightforward though…

    I’m in two minds. The Villa fan in me, as per usual, wants us to spank the Cherries. But if we do, we are only helping out dirty Leeds. Yes, I know. It’s a bit childish of me, but if…
