Louie from mywolves blog and I have swapped previews and he is too nice to us !!!
I have to say that I quite like Wolves, used to go to the Molineux a fair bit and stood on the old South Bank in the Bull/Dennison/Mutch era

Get the title eh ??
Well a nice derby for yet another important game for Villa, a game which if we win we know will propel us to 5th, same number of points as Spurs with the rest of the challengers having very testing games.
So what do Wolves bring.
Frankly they have a pedestrian defence one which [...]

I hate the fact that finishing 4th is considered so crucial, but it is and we have to deal with that. After tonight’s win we are in a very good position with two games to come against teams in the bottom half.
So when you look at this weekend’s fixtures this could be the turning point [...]

James Milner led from the front to seal a precious victory for Villa as MON’s troops moved forward and yes he won a league game in March now !
Villa started off with just one change from the Stoke game, Gabby replacing Heskey. In what turned out to be a fantastic first half, it was end [...]

OK, you could say for the last three months that every game has been vital but on Tuesday Evening we have a league defining meeting with Wigan at the JJB. This obviously is one of our 2/3 games in hand and 6 points behind Spurs in 4th. It does not need me telling anyone just [...]

Even game with Villa having most possession but few chances
Weimann had a goal ruled out for offside !
Delf, clear, then fires straight at the [...]

Well what can you say, disgraceful 1st half performance, worse than Doncaster I have to say. My post on the team selection was being vindicated and MON was in serious trouble.
However MON must have gave the lads the biggest bollocking of their lives and it looks like Carew got the whole lot of it with [...]
