What a great start to the season we’re having. Four wins and one draw (and one game we won’t mention), leaving Villa sitting very proudly in third place in the Premier League. It’s not even one of those 3rd-till-United-play-tomorrow type 3rds either, we cannot be caught by anyone who has games in hand.

Wednesday night saw Aston Villa crash out of the Carling Cup to lower league opposition for the fourth time in five years, losing to QPR 1-0 at Villa Park. Previous years have seen us fall to Leicester (1-0 at home also), Doncaster (3-0 away on a torrid night for Villa), Burnley (3-1 away) and only [...]

League Cup action tonight as Villa aim for Wembley and silverware for the first time in far too long and it’s Iain Dowie’s QPR who visit Villa Park. Martin O’Neill will be hoping there will be no repeat of last season’s early exit at the hands of his old team Leicester City.

The table is still fairly early days, with Hull in fifth and Villa in fourth, when everyone clearly knows that come next summer Hull will be nearer the bottom and Villa will be top! Well… I’m allowed to dream.

Ok so I’ll admit it, I’ve totally stolen this format from the Offside’s front page feature ‘Daily Dose’ and just given it a Villa theme. Or should I claim to be just paying tribute to such a great journalistic (I probably made that word up) idea? I’ll go with the latter.
I’ll only do it weekly, [...]

After just three matches of the Premiership, the flow was interrupted by an international break, but now the club games are back on and they are coming thick and fast for Aston Villa.

In the first proper round of the UEFA Cup, Aston Villa find themselves up against another relatively unknown team after beating Icelandic side FH to reach this round. Following on from Monday evening’s win against Spurs, which put us fourth in the Premiership, Villa go into the game with confidence sky high.

It’s fantastic to read on the web, in the media and the comments left on here about how much us Villans are enjoying the successful start to this season (don’t mention the Stoke game, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it!). It’s fair to say that we are getting very [...]
