Happy New Year from the Villa Offside. And with a little help from Aston Villa, tonight should see some genuine celebration among the Villa fraternity.
Last night Villa picked up their seventh away win of the season (and third in a row) with a somewhat fortuitous victory at Hull City’s KC Stadium. As a result, we [...]

CCFCSleepingGiant.com is reporting that Cardiff City’s on-loan winger Wayne Routledge will join Queens Park Rangers from Aston Villa in January.
Routledge was signed by Martin O’Neill from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2008, Villa’s only signing of that particular window. He’s found first team opportunities hard to come by, but has played well for Villa’s reserves and [...]

They came, they saw, they shit themselves.
Arsenal were terrified of us from the first whistle to the last yesterday. Bacary Sagna couldn’t handle Ashley Young and William Gallas couldn’t get near Gabby Agbonlahor all evening. Leaving Villa Park with a point was Arsenal’s very own Christmas miracle after a game which showed that Arsene Wenger [...]

Eagerly awaiting the transfer window?
Well, Aston Villa already have the wheels in motion – apparently we’re close to signing 17-year-old Dutch defender (seems he’s a centre back or right back) Arsenio Halfuid. Halfuid plays for Feyenoord and his agent, Willie Haatrecht, told Sky Sports that Villa are busting a gut to seal his signature.
But the [...]

On Christmas morning, I’ll log on to the internet just to have a look at the Premier League table.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa. Magic.
Yesterday’s victory over West Ham United was certainly more by luck than judgement. Personally, I think Villa were very poor at Upton Park and were fortunate to get anything at all from the [...]

Aston Villa were represented in Nyon this lunchtime for the draw for the last 32 and last 16 of the final UEFA Cup. I’m in two minds as to how well it went.
CSKA Moscow are our visitors on 18th or 19th February, and we face a hugely difficult trip to Moscow for the return leg [...]

Well, that was just truly appalling in every way. So I’m going to start with the positives.
Aston Villa are in the last 32 of this year’s UEFA Cup. By finishing third in our group, behind Hamburg and Ajax, we’ve avoided teams dropping out of the Champions League – and AC Milan. We rested all our [...]
