For almost a year, I (along with the vast majority of Villa fans) felt that Petrov was not good enough to be in the Villa team, but towards the end of last season, and definitely this season, he has overcome his doubters and has performed brilliantly. He has finally become the fan favourite that he [...]

It’s not a formula that you’d use as the First Lesson In Football Management, but for Villa recently it seems to be working. In the last two league games we have put in very average performances but have scored 7 goals and gained six points. The pure lethalness of our attacking game has shone through, [...]

No-one can say that Vlla are boring anymore. For many years we have been the Kings Of The Draw but now we are not just entertaining on the pitch but entertaining off it too. We are banging the goals in, creating future England stars, singing amusing chants and even slagging it up with naked chicks! [...]

The national press and internet football sites are positively buzzing with the whole John Carew strip-club incident. It has opinions split from “who gives a shit” to “he’s a disgrace, he should be sacked”, but the only opinion that really matters is Martin O’Neill’s and he’s forgiven him. That should be the end of it [...]

Sunday 26th October at 3pm sees Villa play Wigan Athletic at the JJB Stadium. Wigan are currently sitting 14th, with just a single point more than relegation zone located Stoke. It’s been a very up and down season so far for Steve Bruce’s men, who currently have the Premiership’s top scorer but have also failed [...]

*NB This post reads from the bottom upwards**
FT – A good display by Villa, looking dangerous going forward but cearly missing Big John Carew. At the back we look pretty solid defending from the midfield, but some frailties are evident with the back four at set pieces. Freidel played well when needed, looking ten years [...]

It was a 0-0 draw for our Villa Lions yesterday against Portsmouth but there is still plenty of stuff to talk about from the game, even if there wasn’t any goals.
First and foremost has got to be the formation. For every league game so far this season we have started with the same 11 and [...]

Last November we won every single game, making a month’s total haul of four games, four wins, eleven goals scored and just the one conceded. After this glorious November, followed a suck-ass December. We lost two and drew three before finally rediscovering winning ways on the 29th away to Wigan. Of those two losses, both [...]
