Transfer Window opens in 24 hours
The fun and games that is the transfer window opens in less that 24 hours. Keep up to date with all the rumours linking Villa here in one handy link. Already a fair few names have been linked, the latest being Scott Parker. In this window I expect a few to leave (Gardner & Shorey [...]
Be brave Martin
I like the FA cup, in fact I love it. However on Saturday we will face I believe a reserve Blackburn side who of course like us wait for the Carling Cup semi but they obviously have far fewer resources. So now is the time for MON to be brave and play the kids and [...]
Snow joke at Villa Park
Sorry, obvious title, used many times the past few hours and totally sums up how I feel today. We was robbed, to use an old saying, for 90 minutes, given the conditions and negative position of Liverpool I thought we did really well but the luck deserted us, none more so when Downing only had [...]
Snow will not stop a win against Liverpool
If the weather is not too bad tomorrow then we will have a very interesting game. Against Arsenal, there was a problem with our creativity and a couple of players looked like needing a rest, Downing in particular but with Young out they may prove to be difficult. Martin O’Neil has to prove he can [...]
Villa roasted by Fabregas
That was clear today, that a world class player comes in, not fully fit and totally changed the game with a fantastic 27 minute cameo. Up until Fabregas’s introduction I felt we were comfortable in the game with looking dangerous on the break but one moment on world class brilliance changed the whole tempo of [...]
Sunday Transfer rumours and made up stories
First off the block, the NOTW linking us with a defender – Marcel Schafer from Wolfsburg for £8m after we sent to scouts to recent games. Right then, tell me the strongest part of our team and the place we need no cover. Made up would you reckon ? By the way he is a [...]
Xmas treat for all Villans
Good results for us today at Craven Cottage and the Sty. Leaves us with a great chance tomorrow at a ground we have done well at the Emirates and we have one over the ‘sky 4′ this season. So for all those going down, make a hell of a noise, for the team do not [...]
Kenwyne Jones to Villa makes perfect sense
It is no surprise to me to see Kenwyne Jones being linked to a move to Villa. You only have to look at him to see he ticks a lot of the MON boxes including the fact at times he can be very inconsistent (see John Carew). He has pace, power, strength and can perform [...]
A festive cheer at the Emirates
Thanks to the wonderful people at Sky, with the fixture change we have been given a very tough Xmas period. MON has admitted as much by hinting players will be rested, for example you can not imagine Downing starting against both Arsenal and Liverpool. So given Heskey’s injury is not as bad as feared but [...]
Support Acorns
You may notice on the right hand side of this blog a link for Acorns. As the nominated charity for Aston Villa I am delighted at the effort we have put into supporting them and let me remind you of William McGregor’s famous quote which I believe is the driving force behind our club. “For [...]
