Everton 1 – Villa 1

By: Ryan | Comments 1 Comment

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 a bunch of away games, [...]

Guzan saves 4 penalties in one night!

By: Ryan | Comments 2 Comments

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 that he’s so young and [...]

Villa’s defence 2 – Chelsea 1

By: Ryan | Comments 2 Comments

Goals from Dunne, Collins and Drogba for Chelsea.
Well there it is, not quite my original prediction of 2-0 but certainly a fantastic scoreline, and thoroughly deserved. I ventured up to Villa Park with my best mate Nick, and I’m still smiling now watching Match of the Day. Was a cracking game, I’m really pleased [...]

Match Report – Manchester United 3 Aston Villa 2

By: Ryan | Comments 1 Comment

If you judge a match by the scoreline, most of the time you would have a good idea of what happened. This match certainly does not fit in that category, Villa were robbed, at the very least we deserved a point, if not all three. Every single Villa player on that pitch gave it their [...]

Friedel red rescinded

By: Ryan | Comments 4 Comments

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 [...]

Villa out of the UEFA Cup and I don’t care

By: Chris | Comments 2 Comments

An Aston Villa reserve team, featuring Nathan Delfouneso, Marc Albrighton and Wee Barry Bannan flew to Russia four the second leg of our UEFA Cup Round of 32 tie against CSKA Moscow. They did us proud, by all accounts, and certainly didn’t get murdered. 2-0 was the final scoreline, with goals from Yuri Zhirkov on [...]

VILLA 0-1 Chelsea: unbeaten run ends, but fight for fourth remains intact

By: Chris | Comments No Comments

I’m not going to go into too much detail about yesterday’s game because I seem to have watched it through some kind of wormhole, if Match of the Day’s analysis was anything to go by. From where I was sitting, i.e. in the stadium, we just about shaded the game despite Chelsea’s pretty passing, and [...]

VILLA 1-1 CSKA Moscow: Advantage CSKA, but Villa dominated

By: Chris | Comments 1 Comment

One thing that always seems constant for Aston Villa fans is that the team always seems to pull it out of the bag on big nights at Villa Park. Last night’s draw with CSKA Moscow in the first leg of our UEFA Cup Round of 32 tie was no exception.
CSKA came to impose themselves and [...]
