Transfer Window Summary & Assessment

Friday, 04 September 09, 06:12 AM

So finally it's over and we can relax after a long frustrating summer that promised so much and delivered.............well not quite what we expected.

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. We have had more midfielders playing at right back than we have had actual defenders playing there....

More Questions Than Answers: Liverpool vs Villa preview

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 »

Pre-season & Transfer Roundup

I think this has been one of the best pre-season campaigns I can remember in a long time, seeing the cream of our youngsters come through in the Peace Cup and other friendlies really restored my faith in my team. Ok so injuries to Young and Petrov and a re-occurrence of the shoulder injury to Curtis have soured things a little and our squad still needs re-enforcements. Despite this beating Fiorentina is no easy feat - and a...Read Post »

O'Neill Finally Get's Bent

Friday, 31 July 09, 08:10 AM

No I don't mean...well you know what I don't mean, and I definitely don't mean that, not that there's anything wrong with......anyway I mean the players, but which Bent? Sunderland's pursuit of Darren Bent has dragged on all week - but with no actual confirmation we have made a bid for him I think it's more likely to be David Bentley we will sign (finally), the winger was also left at home whilst the Madrid of...Read Post »
