But it's all ... http://villa.theoffside.com/misc/the-weeks-roundup-west-ham-and-bolton-5-1.html Another draw. Initially I wanted a win, Everton are doing their usual start of season slump, and I wanted to take advantage of their bad form, but in retrospect, an away draw is satisfactory against a good team, and it was the fair result. We are in the middle of ... http://villa.theoffside.com/match-reports/everton-1-villa-1.html Unbelievable. I was ready to write this blog all about how we cant seem to score goals anymore, how a good defence on its own can't win every game, but I simply cant take it away from my boy Brad. I've liked this guy from day one, and the fact ... http://villa.theoffside.com/match-reports/guzan-saves-4-penalties-in-one-night.html Derby day again, I'm expecting a Villa win.

I'm hoping he gets his first senior goal for England tonight, will fill him with confidence for Saturday. I really thought Milner would be ... http://villa.theoffside.com/player-news/abonglahor-starts-for-england.html So Heskey wants to leave, who can blame him? He rarely starts for Villa and its even rarer for him to actually make an input when he is playing. All this makes it unbelievable that he is still playing for England, but even still, Heskey wants a seat on that ... http://villa.theoffside.com/transfer-news/heskey-wants-to-leave.html Some of you may remember me from before Andy, I started blogging just before I was due to move house, and alas the wonderful BT delayed my internet connection for over a month, so wasn't able to blog, therefore Andy took my place. But now I have returned! Hurray! Better ... http://villa.theoffside.com/premier-league/villa-blog-returns-again.html Firstly I would like to apologize for the lack of updates recently. Grad school just started and I have been a little pressed for time. Unfortunately I didn't get around to the rest of the preview sections. But, because we open at home against the Latics tomorrow, ... http://villa.theoffside.com/misc/season-starts-tomorrow.html Hello everyone. Villa's preseason is well under way and its almost over!
