A repeat of last season at Goodison, YES PLEASE !!
A year ago Ashley Young scored one of the most spectacular goals in Villa’s recent history. A goal that not only turned a match we had blown but caused the manager to call him a genius and gave us one of the most spectacular Villa’s celebrations with Martin Laursen, it was brilliant ! Ashley Young [...]
Great owner and good incentives
A couple of good things have happened at Villa today which should be open to a wider audience. Firstly Villa performed the 2nd (and lets hope it will be annual) open training session at Villa Park. A magnificent 11,500 got the free tickets and for 3 hours through a wide range of varied activities got [...]
Guzan the penalty king !
A grand gesture by Randy to lay on the free coaches and his fellow American little Brad Guzan sent the travelling hordes home happy and Villa through to the quarter final of the Carling Cup with 4 penalty saves and one cracking one on one save. The first half today was a non event with [...]
Stop clapping Carew and show some desire !!
Disappointing after taking the lead that we got a draw but I am always satisfied with an away draw in a local derby. It was a match after the first 3 minutes of little excitement and few chances but in the 2nd half we controlled the game and really should have come away with three [...]
Trinity Road Destruction
Back in May/June 2000 I took literally hundred’s of pictures of the Trinity Road destruction but I lost them !! However I kept the following thumbnails off the website I was using to show them and even though they are small anyone who missed it will understand the havoc and derliction of duty Doug Ellis [...]
Building for the Future Villa Park
There is a very good thread on H&V regarding the possible ground improvements of Villa Park that will come now we withdrawn from the Olympics signalling building works are imminent. From a good source I have been told that the plans that HOK now Populous were asked to draw up are very special indeed and [...]
The Wolves fed to the Lions ??
We have to get use to these games over the next few weeks as the Wolves game is going to be the first away game of 4 consecutive ones. Our recent record in local derbies lets say has been just superb and I and most Villa fans do not expect that to change. This is [...]
Rapid Vienna fans at Villa Park
Just found the video below on youtube and I have to say that they were the best fans I have ever seen at Villa Park. They never stopped all game and great kudos to them, though I have no doubt that there is a ‘dark side’ to them at Villa Park the Vienna fans were [...]
The Dunny Monster
Whilst James Collins has received all the plaudits after the game and against Chelsea and quite rightly I have to say that the player at the back who has made all the difference is Richard Dunne. When he signed I was delighted because he was the leader we missed so badly since Laursen’s retirement. He [...]
The Welsh Ginge slays the Chelsea whingers !
The Welsh ginge struck to give us three points today in a tough but entertaining game. That is a decent summary of today’s game which started off strangely by not being told in the ground about the delay but ultimately finished very well. Of course if you listened to Allan Green on Radio 5 today [...]
