Blog Post: PMP: Aston Villa go third, James Milner surprises even me and come on Spurs

Sun, 8 Feb 2009 11:05:14 +0000

It was an exceptionally good result yesterday that showed quite a few people that we mean business this season and that we are capable of it. Us going third because Chelsea failed to score at home against Hull, was just the icing on the cake.

Blog Post: Portsmouth v Aston Villa: Match build up, banter, chat and no semi-naked ladies

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:51:52 +0000

The wife of all people gave me a telling off for requesting links to semi-naked women in the last post we did before a match, so I'm going to kindly ask you not to send in any links today. If you do, then you do so, because you want to and not because I've asked.

Now, moving on to the...

News: Milner thanks former team-mates

Villa's James Milner believes his success is down to the quality of his former team-mates.

Blog Post: James Milner: I was wrong

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:01:17 +0000

I owe Martin O'Neill an apology because I think I was wrong about James Milner. In August I was disappointed and told anyone who would listen how disappointed I was that we had spent £12m on Milner.

A player who I wouldn't even have paid £5m for and someone...

Blog Post: PMP: Villa go third to lucky goal against West Ham

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:41:40 +0000

First off, it was a lucky goal but it wasn't a lucky victory. It was one of those where you don't play your best football but you get the result - much like Blackburn earlier this...

Blog Post: Three points against West Ham move us into third place in the Premier League

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 19:23:35 +0000

Who said football was a funny old game, was it Jimmy Greaves? He was spot on today.

All day Milner couldn't cross a ball without it going to the first West Ham player and then with one of them, the last one I think, it hits the first West Ham player, as planned we'll no doubt find out...

Blog Post: Match Prediction: Away to West Ham

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:37:29 +0000

I have to be very careful about what I write today. Step over the line a little or act too confident and I'll have 200 comments from West Ham fans sitting in internet cafes all over East London. There you go, that should do it.

Anyway, it's not just the West Ham fans I've got to be...

Blog Post: PMP: Aston Villa starting to look like a top four team

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 10:49:53 +0000

Maybe all the talk in the week that Ashley Young is a world class player, on a par with Messi and Ronaldo actually helped, because yesterday, it was his day and he took a step closer to maybe becoming that player Martin O'Neill sees.

I don't think he is there yet but I think he can get...

Blog Post: Aston Villa news and rumours: Sean Scannell, David Suazo from Inter Milan and heart of a lion Marlon Harewood

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 09:25:24 +0000

We're doing this backward today, mostly because I want to start with Harewood as he's one of ours and he deserves to come first. Also, if you picked players based on effort and heart alone, this man would be second on the team sheet every week, after Milner.

The news in the papers...

Blog Post: Match Prediction: You've got to fancy three points against Fulham

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:30:16 +0000

Three times this season I've glossed over defeats with the classic 'if we were offered this place, after this amount of games at the start of the season, we'd have all accepted it'.

Well, I'm not going to on Saturday evening if we don't pick up three points, I'm just going to accept...

Blog Post: Match Prediction: Newcastle away

Sun, 2 Nov 2008 14:02:13 +0000

Are Newcastle struggling? The simple answer is yes. Are they going to get out of this slump any time soon? I also think yes, but I suspect it's going to happen without Joe Kinnear and probably when they have a new owner.

I don't know enough about the situation at Newcastle at the...

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 21:33:38 +0000

We were lucky to go in at half time one each but if you look at the ninety minutes we deserved to win. We created more chances and bottom line that is a pretty good indication of which team is going to win.

Goals from Luke Young, his first for the club I think, Gareth Barry, set up by...
