Villa’s England promise
After what we saw in South Africa it is clear that we need changes in the England team and I believe we can provide a quality team for the near and medium future. Lets look at the players that could do this in order of quickness of chance and notice just how many there are. […]
Player power but not Prima Donna’s
Jeff Ray from the Villa mailing list and the US posted this very good piece in regards to player power and the likes of Terry who are Prima Donna’s and not team players. It is applicable to Villa because we all have our favourites but MON picks the team based on the TEAM and not […]
Movers and Shakers affecting Villa
Two pieces of significant news today that potentially could affect Villa. The first is that Roy Hodgson will be confirmed very shortly as Liverpool managers. When the Liverpool job first came up the bookies and some very stupid people thought that Martin O’Neil was the favourite. As the more sensible of us kept telling them […]

The report that Eduardo has told his agent he wants to leave Arsenal and we […]

SPECULATION : Man City hoping to complete Milner deal this week or will not happen
Inevitable link from our speculation chums the Daily Mirror. They claim Man City are confident of completing a £25m deal for Milner this week when he returns from South Africa. We will have contract talks with them but the Mirror claim Man City will out bid anything from Villa. Seems feasible of course and inevitable, […]

The Villa Chronicle for Season 1980-81: The Seventh Championship
With great thanks to John, the series of the exclusive Villa Chronicle’s for this blog are over with the ultimate entry. I do hope though John will hopefully still contribute occasional articles.
