Villa survive Second Half Man City Onslaught to Draw

Man City came as favourites but left probably satisfied with a draw at Villa Park - in fact you felt the moment Bellamy's equaliser was slammed home on 67mins that both sides would have taken the draw there and then. Villa started the brighter and we deserved the first half lead provided by the head of former City hero

Barry Returns as Aston Villa take on the Big Spenders Manchester City

Monday, 05 October 09, 08:09 AM

So far the new season hasn't really gone to plan at all, results haven't been bad but apart from Liverpool the opposition we have so far beaten has been pretty poor. Here is hoping then that tonight's game is a classic open attacking goal fest and that we win, if not just to wipe the incredibly smug look off of Sparky's tight permed head.

Our star player this season has been...

Defensively we have made major gains, since O'Neill and Randy took over (and in fact long before that) we have lacked squad numbers, more specifically we have had very little options and depth in defence.

Monday, 24 August 09, 03:19 AM

The return of the 4:5:1 formation and NRC to the midfield did at least bring some comfort to fans after a fairly tepid display against Rapid Vienna but there are still more questions than answers massing:

1) What the heck is going on with big John Carew? First he gets ruled out of the Wigan game late in the day due to an ingrowing toe-nail? Then just when toe-gate ends he pulls out of the team vs Rapid Vienna with a virus? Is...Read Post »

New Season Same Old Villa

Monday, 17 August 09, 04:04 AM

Ok so it's the first game of the season and we shouldn't over-react....... but what the HELL was that all about?

Wigan tore us one throughout the game and we showed the exact same lack of guile and creativity that we did during our slump last season. Again the opposition knew that if you mark Young out of the game then you've won half the battle against us. 

It was a lot to ask of Delph to fill in for Barry and although he didn't disgrace...Read Post »
