I must apologise for the lack of any kind of report on the Liverpool match, but I couldn’t even bare to think about it for a few days. Five goals, two penalties, and an unfair red card, all going in the wrong direction for my liking. We must take this humiliation to realise we still [...]

Liverpool Vs Aston Villa
Premier League
Anfield
Sunday 21st March 2009, 4.00pm

This maybe, hopefully will be our turning point, although looking at both clubs form, I’m sure the bookies will have a Villa win at something like 100/1. Coming from a MASSIVE win at Manchester United, Liverpool will be flying high, but I guess that [...]

First off i’d like to thank Daryl here at theoffside.com for letting me take over from Chris. I’ve been following the Villa page and Chris’ posts for a while now and i’m a big fan of his work and was sad to hear that I wouldn’t be able to follow his updates via Viigo on [...]

In the interests of a cunning deflection tactic – one which I shall continue here – Aston Villa Football Club has dampened down the disappointment of last night’s defeat at the hands of Manchester City by formally confirming that the club will continue its shirt sponsorship deal with Acorns Childrens Hospice.
This season, I’ve been proud [...]

Over at The Offside, where I took over from Martin a few months back, I’ve somehow managed to prepare a match preview for every game (except CSKA Moscow away, which I couldn’t be arsed with). But nobody wants to listen to me twice a week during this busy time of the season, so Mart and [...]

That’s right, folks – Bouma’s back!
Aston Villa left back Wilfred Bouma, by far my favourite player and one who could form part of a rock solid back four with Martin Laursen, Curtis Davies and Luke Young next season, sustained a particularly nasty dislocated ankle way back in July. He picked up the injury at Villa [...]
