The Pompey bells will be silenced with Captain Jack

Any quarter final in any cup competition is vital for any club but the desire amongst the Villa fans is enormous for some silverware and there is no doubt that this competition represents the best chance we have had since MON has been at a club. However as usual we face a club in a [...]

FA CUP Draw – Blackburn at Home

Well, well, decent home draw for us for once. Tough side but not clever away from home, probably will not be a TV game so 3PM Saturday FA cup KO as well IT WLL BE OUR YEAR !

Villa players on loan – reminder

We have seen a fair number of Villa players go out on loan to varying success and three more this week. This is a great tribute to the youth system at Villa and remember despite this lot on loan we are still clear in the reserve league !! Nathan Baker – Lincoln Eric Lichaj – [...]

Over confidence for Spurs, a bonus for Villa ?

Is there a better time to play a team off the back of a 9-1 win ? Strange question I know but does that kind of win over a team who collapsed lend to a team been too confident and thinking that they are unbeatable. I ask this question because on Saturday Evening Spurs will [...]

Nathan Delfouneso on loan ?

Rumour on Villatalk that Nathan will go on loan for a month to Millwall as they face an injury crisis. Interesting news as through a tough December you may have thought we need a 4th forward, does this, if true, indicate that we may switch to a 4-3-3 therefore negating the need for a fourth [...]

William McGregor Staute unveiling

On Saturday at 4PM before our game with Spurs, a statue that has been years in the fundraising will be unveiled at Villa Park outside of the Directors Entrance in the Trinity Road Stand. “For brilliance and, at the same time, for consistency of achievement, for activity in philanthropic enterprise, for astuteness of management and [...]

Gareth Barry not missed at Villa

Do we miss Barry ? Well that is a question we can start to answer after a third of a season. I have no doubt that the Gareth Barry of last season is certainly not missed, he did not contribute much last season and was one of the reasons I would use for our slump. [...]

Tough choices and 9 goal Spurs up next

It is a strange time with Villa at the moment and one I struggle to understand. Burnley away is a tough game I do not think in any way we under estimated them but the team selection of Petrov over NRC left far too many people questioning MON’s tactics and his decisions. Overall in the [...]

Tough at Turf Moor and Downing’s return

There are always questions that surround a MON team selection and more so after a 5-1 defeat of Bolton. A lot of managers would stick with the same team and keep to a winning side. However with Collins having played so well and Petrov having a decent season and captain will MON revert to the [...]

Dunne and Ireland cheated by Henry

At Villa we have been very proud in the 90’s to have a long list of distinguished Irish players, Staunton, Houghton, Townsend and of course God himself, Lord McGrath. To that List Richard Dunne is a very welcome addition so it was anticipation I watched tonight’s play off game against France. For a long period [...]
