Are you watching Gareth Barry, HA HA HA
Before I get onto the main substance of this blog, lets just review today’s game. For the first half that is possibly the best football I have seen from Villa, fluid, ball to feet and nary a long ball in sight, how it was just 1-0 god knows !! For the second half we seem [...]
Excellent news as Manchester United confirm Rio is out
Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Rio Ferdinand has had another back spasm and is out for the Carling Cup final “He tweaked his back in training and he won’t be ready for Sunday,” said Ferguson. “It is unfortunate for him that he’s going to miss a couple of game This is great news for us [...]
Crystal Palace to face the power of Delf
Well I hope that this is the case and Nathan starts tomorrow. I have seen enough of him this season in cameos and starts to know he is the real deal and whilst I understand why he was left out for the first game, for tomorrow there is no excuse. Clearly with the Carling Cup [...]
We underrate our own players too much
This week the Times produced a list of the most consisent Premier League players based on a forumla. For some Villa fans the results may be surprising but for some of us we should not be shocked. It can be said that statistics can show anything you want them to but Villa fans should be [...]

Play poorly and score 5, how strange
So, what a very strange game. Frankly all but for 20 mins we were rubbish, in fact more than that, abysmal might be the better word. However like all good teams we saw a weakness and exploited it for a magical 20 minutes to win 3 points and put us amongst the top 4 teams [...]
