Do we miss Barry ?
Well that is a question we can start to answer after a third of a season.
I have no doubt that the Gareth Barry of last season is certainly not missed, he did not contribute much last season and was one of the reasons I would use for our slump. So far [...]

Next Monday sees the return of a former player. In most cases that does not matter but in Gareth Barry’s case then it is a return that I believe will split Villa supporters and their feelings towards him.
Barry played over 400 times for us in a decade since he made his debut at 17 and [...]

Dear Gareth,
I read your parting note in the mail and I am touched by the fake sincerity of the note.
We knew last summer and you told us in the News of the World that you were were parting due to a [...]

Over the years at [...]

Just been announced on the Official Site that Barry is in talks with Manchester City over a possible move.

I was wrong wasn’t I in last night’s blog entry. Today was a perfect mirror image of our season. I watched on a real dodgy stream but first half was good, plenty of attacking verve and some chances, looked good. 2nd half after the early goal we seemed to fade into ourselves, showed no leadership [...]
