Chelsea – a mark of Villa’s hopes for this season

It is always good after the international break to come back to Villa Park, it is even better when it is a so called big club and our form is not too bad at all, it is exciting. Games against Chelsea are usually very tight and little between the teams, it is no secret their [...]

Gabby watch for England

I was very surprised after Milner was sub on Saturday to see him start from the bench but delighted to see Gabby get his start. After three minutes Gabby showed how he has improved from a good pass by Barry he had the pace to take it forward and a bit of a scuffed cross [...]

Well deserved England call ups

It is looking likely that tomorrow we will see an England team with Milner on the left and Gabby playing up front alongside Crouch.

Freddie returns !!!

Tonight’s 1-1 draw against Wolves in a reserve game at Villa Park marked a significant milestone in the season for Villa.

Luke Young after a calf injury and the unfortunate death of his brother played his first full 90 minutes since [...]

Barry ‘Dunne’ over

Yesterday was so sweet for Villa fans. The way Barry left us meant we all felt like a jilted bride and to see Richard Dunne power a header past a stationary Barry who could not be bothered to jump was sweet justice indeed. It was a cracking English game yesterday, we started off at a [...]

Manchester City – a test of where we want to be

The visit of Manchester City tonight has been predictably been dominated by the talk of the return of Gareth Barry. However for the future of this season this game has far more significance for Villa. It is no good kidding ourselves, Manchester City have spent a lot of cash and on some very good players [...]

The Test of MON

From the start of the season MON has been under some pressure from the fans. This was down to the disastrous end of last season that we had and a large amount of blame that MON must take for it. However even after Wigan we had a different squad and a different team but a [...]
