Match preview and reaction
Wigan 2 – 2 Villa; A game of football
I know. It’s a poor headline, but I didn’t know what else to say. So there we have it, the last game in a season that I’ve somewhat perversely enjoyed. Not the lows, of course, but more the fact that we won when it mattered and we proved to be a team of strong character. […]
Kinmartin: Bench Marks Set Restraint
Matchweek 38 facts and figures, for Ladywood and beyond…. ENTRANCE THEME Paul Lambert left his bench untouched last week, caught stuck with a group of almost purely attacking types (Williams, N’Zogbia, Holman, Gardner, Bent, Bowery) that perhaps he didn’t trust once Chelsea became positioned to dominate ball control following the Benteke red card. Lambert’s first […]
Big game tonight; Up the Gooners
I was tempted, but really didn’t want to say “Up the Arse” in the way I’d say “Up the Villa”. It just doesn’t sound right does it? So it’s a massive game tonight, even though we won’t even be playing and the absolute truth is I think we need Arsenal to win it, I’m just […]
Villa 1 – 2 Chelsea; A game of decisions
What a game! I had a really good feeling about this game and although I wasn’t convinced we’d win, I did feel somewhat confident that we might get a point. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be and while it’s never good to lose, I feel we put up a great show and shouldn’t get too downbeat. […]
Kinmartin: Chapter Worth Booking
Matchweek 37 facts and figures, for Brandhall and beyond…. LAST-ING EFFORTS Hi-ho Aston Villa. Another set of goals in last weekend’s victory has the team up at 24 total since Round 25 started. Only one other Premier League team (Liverpool) has scored more in that term. And just two other Villa teams from the past […]
Norwich 1 – 2 Villa; Safe I think.
It’s been a terrible few hours for me personally. First off, when I was retiring for the night, I was taking my socks off and fell off the bed, which has done my shoulder a serious injury. I’m in agony as I type, but you have to laugh, don’t you? And then I took the […]
Kinmartin: Picked On Yet Again
Matchweek 36 facts and figures, for 0845 Clean Up and beyond…. BLUNT PUNT Fluorescence from Monday night’s all-conquering display is already fading in the perspective Bovada has. The global betting icon (formerly Bodog) prescribes Villa as a slight underdog for the trip to Norwich — the 18th time in 18 road matches that the team […]
Norwich Vs Aston Villa – Preview
Another major relegation game. Aston Villa came out victorious on Monday by beating Sunderland 6-1, this did a wold of good for Aston Villa, not only have they created a 5 point gap from Wigan, but have improved their goal difference. Norwich lost 1-0 to another relegation candidate Stoke City. Aston Villa are the team […]
Villa 6 – 1 Sunderland; Woohoo!
Well that was a turn up for the books wasn’t it? and a total pleasure to watch for once. It was a great game overall, one that started at a frantic pace. You could see what Di Canio’s tactics were. Get at us quickly and try to unsettle us from the off, much the same […]
Mackems Hit For Six
Well what can I say fantastic result. Who saw that coming? I did predict 2-3.0 but this surpassed my prediction for sure. Once we went 1.0 up we looked like scoring in virtually every attack and we almost did. As I have posted throughout the week and I am proved right about the PDC myth. […]
