I believe that as part of tougher financial rules imposed on Premiership football clubs in the interests of transparency that payments to agents now have to be disclosed. I first spotted this story earlier on Newcastle’s website where they explained that the figures may include “payments made by the Club on behalf of players”, [...]
It’s been kicking around for a while now, but I’ve been unable to shoe in the news that Ciaran Clark has signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract at Aston Villa.
Ciaran’s a quality prospect, but having just turned 20 he’s very much the baby of our centre back line-up. However, he’s the captain of the reserve [...]
It’s time once again to review this season’s Premiership performance against last year, the next one will be at the half way stage if you can believe we’re already heading there!
In summary, we’re a point behind last season chronologically, but a point ahead comparing apples with apples.

I don’t do it often, but sometimes I check the average position map at half time and compare it with the version at the end of the match. Villa are frequently a second half team, I’ve never seen our team pushed back so much during a second half that the full time map reveals [...]
Through some weird twist of fate Aston Villa were not drawn against Man Utd in the Third Round of the FA Cup with Blackburn instead coming to Villa Park. Theoretically this presents a greater possibility to progress, but it’s Cup football, all bets are off as far as I’m concerned.
Draw in full:-
A very defensive display from Aston Villa, more so during the second half, forced Spurs to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw. If they’re wondering how they could knock 9 past Wigan last week, but struggled to find the net at all today at Villa Park they need look no further than [...]
Just days after I suggested that Aston Villa were making more loans than Barclays, we lend a couple more players out. Seriously, are we propping up some collapse in the player market?
Barry Bannon has joined Blackpool until late January and Chris Herd is joining up with Nathan Baker at Lincoln, but is due back [...]
It looks like Google are accelerating the roll out of Wave, but if you still can’t get your hands on an invite this could be your lucky day. I’ve got no less than 9 invites that I’d love to give away, but you’re going to have to work for them.
I’ve just created a new [...]
