Right, we did this last week and it sort of worked, so we're doing it again. Only real concern is that the beer isn't here yet, but apart from that we're ready to go. Almost the same format from last week, but instead of time, we'll be using minutes played during the match. We'll start with... Posted by Damian · Comments (95) Topics: Latest Villa News,Aston Villa

Confirmed: Maloney joins Celtic

10:40 AM, Friday, 22 August 2008

The deal is one day going to be worth £2.5mn but for now, we're not exactly sure. I for one know he'll do well at Celtic, because he has done before and I wish him luck. We won't go into details, as we did yesterday, but he never got a run. He'll get one in Scotland and the report from the folk...

The crafty French schemer: Arsene Wenger is now interested in Gareth Barry

10:10 AM, Friday, 22 August 2008

When Martin O'Neill confirmed that Pat Rice had called Steve Walford about Barry back in July, I thought nothing of it, mostly because it is probably part of his job to keep tabs on certain players. Then, a few days later, although I can't find a quote right now but I distinctly remember... Posted by Damian · Comments (38) Topics: Latest Villa News,Aston Villa

Slow down: Shaun Maloney joins Celtic?

06:03 PM, Thursday, 21 August 2008

I put the question mark in there, to keep some happy, but according to guardian.co.uk, Shaun Maloney will be paraded as a Celtic player tomorrow. Clearly they're making this up because I've just checked on the official Aston Villa site and there is absolutely nothing about him agreeing terms,...

Maybe not new news but it's news and I wanted it posted: Martin Laursen is the new Villa captain

03:24 PM, Thursday, 21 August 2008

While I've not read any confirmation on the club site, I think it's fairly safe to say that Martin Laursen is the new club captain, after Martin O'Neill praised the defender this week. Now, you all might remember that when there was talk of extending his contract in the early part of summer... Posted by Damian · Comments (17) Topics: Latest Villa News,Aston Villa

Match Prediction: Away at The Potters

02:49 PM, Thursday, 21 August 2008

First things first and you've got to feel positive about this Saturday. However, feeling too positive has got me into trouble in the past, so I'm taking my positive optimism a little slowly this week as this match has the potential to cause an upset. On paper we should stroll this and on the... Posted by Damian · Comments (33) Topics: Match Previews,Aston Villa

The three supposed targets of Martin O'Neill: Santa Cruz, Milner and Naylor

07:51 AM, Thursday, 21 August 2008

All have been mentioned before so we won't go into detail, but if you believe the rumour pages this morning things look like they are hotting up and these are the three Martin O'Neill is after. Lee Naylor, currently at Celtic, I'd image would be a straight swap for Maloney. Santa Cruz would... Posted by Damian · Comments (88) Topics: Latest Villa Opinion,Aston Villa

Aston Villa need to break the bank for a right winger

08:04 AM, Wednesday, 20 August 2008

In my Diagnosis of the game on Sunday I suggested that the electric second-half form of Gabby Agbonlahor shouldn't divert Martin O'Neill from seeking a further striker to swell our goalscoring ranks before the window closes. And I stick to that view. But, with the immediate urgency of solutions... Posted by Damian · Comments (104) Topics: Doc Bowles,Aston Villa

All quiet on the Western Midlands front

01:45 PM, Tuesday, 19 August 2008

Since the season kicked off it's been pretty quiet - all the journo's have footy action to fill column inches now and don't need to make up a myriad of transfer rumours. I was pleased with the win on Sunday and quite pleased that only GB is going to have to play 2 games a week for the next... Posted by Damian · Comments (47) Topics: Latest Villa News,Aston Villa
