Statshack – Aston Villa 0 Liverpool 1

For some reason or another I neglected to create a Statshack for the 3-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, so I’ll take the rare step here of including it below the stats from last night’s 1-0 loss at Villa Park. It might be interesting to compare the two.

Aston Villa 0 Liverpool 1 – Review – EPL

I’m probably not alone in feeling this loss a bit harder than the previous losses this season. I’m trying to put my finger on why and I can come up with little more than Liverpool probably deserved to take the three points the least out of the 5 teams who have beaten us so [...]

Aston Villa 0 Liverpool 1

Villa presented little threat to Almunia’s goal in the second half, but it was certainly more a case of Arsenal eventually making their chances pay after the break [...]

Arsenal 3 Aston Villa 0

The headlines for this game will rightly belong to Cesc Fabregas after his 26 minute cameo performance was enough to put Aston Villa to the sword and deny us a grand slam of victories over big four teams. In fairness though, Villa weren’t exactly setting the world on fire when the Spaniard stepped on [...]

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Pre-Smack From Andy Brown

ABthegiant is back with another Pre-Smack video prior to the game against Arsenal. All being well he’ll be following up with another gloating video.

“Don’t make me pull out my gunners!! I’ve got gunners!! I’m armed and dangerous!!” Nice work again, Andy.
