I’ve mentioned somewhere on this site before that I was a relatively late bloomer to football. It was really England’s adventure in Italia ‘90, guided by Sir Bobby Robson, that sucked me in.
I have Bobby to thank for my love of the game and it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge that [...]
Aston Villa may have ridden their luck over the two games so far in the Peace Cup, but we have the semi-final line up the majority would have predicted before this tournament got going – Juventus vs Real Madrid & Porto vs Aston Villa. In normal circumstances, a pretty tasty proposition. During pre-season, [...]
No wonder Martin O’Neill’s expressed frustration at not having the Fonz at his disposal during the Peace Cup. While Emile Heskey has been trapping the ball out for throw-ins in Spain, young Nathan has been banging them in for sweets in Ukraine for England Under-19s.
On Monday Nathan scored in each half to contribute to [...]
Here’s a new Aston Villa wallpaper featuring Ashley Young and Gabby Agbonlahor – It’s a Villa Thing… You Wouldn’t Understand!
As usual, it’s available in 1280×800, 1280×1024 & 1024×768 for your desktop, but for the first time I’ve also created an iPhone version.

If Villa’s opening Peace Cup game against Malaga was disappointing in both performance and result, this one made up for it. Eventually. [...]
Actually, nothing overly interesting here, just the opportunity to use a cheap innuendo.
These are the balls Aston Villa will be playing with next year… fnarr fnarr!! On the left is the Europa League ball and the one on the right in the new EPL ball, which, if it’s worth having an opinion on, I’d [...]
A jazzy video featuring the irritating Peace Cup Theme Tune. Doesn’t matter how many clever editing techniques are used, it’s difficult to make it look like there’s anyone at the game.
John Carew’s look over his shoulder as he walks down the tunnel at the end of video made me chuckle for some reason.
Atlante are a Mexican Primera División team who now play in Cancún after relocating from Mexico City a couple of years ago. They’re a late addition to the Peace Cup tournament, replacing Celtic, and it’s actually quite odd that they were able to attend; Mexico’s Primera División kicked off on July 24th.
The Mexican league [...]
