Storming the Palace into the Quarter Finals
I love the FA Cup and that is despite our recent history in it and tomorrow represents a great chance to progress in the competition and with a decent draw so far the gods are with us it seem. However Palace is far from an easy task, in fact since the move into administration it [...]
14 years of waiting, can we win a game at home
19th August 1995 Remeber that game ? We played three new signings, Savo, Draper & Southgate at the start of Brian little’s first year in charge. They cost £9m and were young, hungry and rated. After a stunning 3-1 win against Man Utd. it looked like the future would be claret & blue and yet [...]
A trip down memory (White Hart) Lane
I have been on many trips down to Whte Hart Lane over the years and rarely do you see boring games. This season however will be watching it on ESPN somewhere and yet against we have another game we need to win to have serious ambitions for top 4, a draw obviously is not the [...]
What would you give for a goal – Gabby please deliver
Since the Arsenal game on Wednesday the talk of Villa fans is the 4 goals without a goal. It has been well publicised that we have not gone four games without a win for a few years now a few managers ago ! Yet the shocking thing about this Villa team is that we hardly [...]
Another day, another visit to Villa Park
Yes it is a Wednesday so must mean for the 4th time in 11 days a trip down Villa Park for a game. This time it is the Premier League and a really tough game for us against Championship chasing Arsenal who after the game in December will be confident of a win. At Villa [...]
Bright(on) chance for young ‘uns
Another match day, another home game and hopefully it will not be ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ for Villa after a fantastic Wednesday night. However it is clear that the team Saturday will not reflect much of the team we saw against Blackburn. Especially as Carew and NRC who you would have expected to play [...]
Finish the road from Villa Park to Wembley
90 minutes stands between us and a Wembley visit since the none event of 2000 and after the 1st leg last week we should be very confident of finishing the job. We played so well last Thursday that the tie should have been over and done with and tomorrow a mere formality. However due to [...]
Hammer them
The games are coming thick and fast now and West Ham on Sunday (KO 13:30) gives us a great chance to extract revenge on the shirt stealers after they stole the game from us last November. This game comes on the back of two defeats over Xmas of which damaged our league chances but clearly [...]
Two steps to Wembley
The third match in the saga that is Villa/Blackburn games is less than 24 hours away and it is almost certain to be played. So for the first time in nearly two weeks we actually get to play a game and this one is real important. There is no doubt about the Villa fan’s passion [...]
Wigan game on, cold opp north
Excellent news from Wigan today and confirmed by Villa that because of strenuous efforts around the ground to clear the ice the game is on, unless there is further worsening of the weather, which is not predicted to happen at the moment. Good luck to the 3000 who are going and make sure you wrap [...]
