Tribute to Buck, a Villan to his core
I only came back from a net free break today and came back to the very sad news about Buck Chinn’s passing away on Monday. I knew he was ill but even then to hear of his passing made me feel very sad and unhappy. This piece from VITAL VILLA written by Jonathan Fear say [...]
MON – Manager of the Month – hope that shuts the moaners up
After the disaster that was the Chelsea game, the month of April was very good with 13 points from 5 games and continuing our fantastic away performance. This has shown real bottle from the team and manager and total lack of faith and bottle in both by our own supporters. Now the deserved Carling Manager [...]
Rob’s reflection on beating Blues, flaming marvellous
What a nice sunny day it was as we arrived at Villa Park at just after 10.30am. A decent gathering of VT-ers had turned out, and a few cans of el cid were quaffed. First amusing sight of the day was a bloke who must have been 60, walking down Witton Lane in a bright [...]

Beat the Blues yet some still moan
Was it a penalty ? First reaction for me was that it was nailed on. Seen the incident since and yes Johnson got the ball but the touch was light and Gabby still had a very good chance and Johnson brought him down. Clear pen and to see the Bluenose’s whine after what the said [...]

Is this the most important home game in years
Well is it ? It is against Blues, they know the pain of the 5-1 and will be trying their very best to make sure we get nothing from this game, 0-0 suits them down to the ground. The game against Blues no matter how some Villa fans disparage it it is always important. However [...]
