It’s not easy to simply forget about that horrendous result at the weekend and move on, especially as a fresh wave of headlines roll in this Monday, but that’s pretty much what we have to do. Conceding 7 goals for the first time in 46 years during a season in which we were able to boast the meanest defence in the league is clearly a complete aberration, there’s no credible argument to the contrary. That doesn’t make it
Everton fans must truly wonder what a season could deliver for them if they could hook it up at the start of the season the way they do towards the end. As far as the race for fourth place goes this season, they’re arguably hitting form at just the right time and, looking at their run-in, aside from coming to Villa Park on April 14th, every other team left to play is below them in the table. I
Well done to the Birmingham Mail for another piece of awesome journalism, the Pulitzer is surely just a matter of time. They’ve taken the following quote from Martin O’Neill:-
Expectation levels I expect to go up because it is Aston Villa, then you are hoping you can make something happen for the supporters. However, like everybody else, you have to earn this and it is not a case of just because a club has been successful in the past
Call this karma for John Carew’s offside opener if you like, but the defending on Wolves equaliser yesterday was just comical. I’m all for zonal marking, but let’s have some common sense – there’s absolutely no point having two quality centre backs like Collins and Cuellar marking thin air.
I apologise for the poor quality pics here, I’m working with screen caps of the first replays available online, better quality video may be available by the time you read this.
This post was originally scheduled for Friday, but I had to swap some things around so I apologise if it’s a little out of date. I noticed that quite a few headlines featuring Villa players “hailing” this and that seemed to be flowing through the wires yesterday, so I figured that the press had been given access to some of the players and it might be a good idea to compile a quick list.
Ashley Young is looking forward
I apologise for the lack of posts the last couple of days, I’ve been furiously coding and I’m reasonably optimistic that I can start shipping components of the new site live today. If all goes to plan (and I use the word ‘plan’ in the absolute loosest sense of the word) I could well be in a position to switch over completely late tonight. If that’s the case then there will be an hour or two of downtime,
Now that the curse is over I’m expecting Aston Villa to go from one extreme to the other. We may have never won a game in March under Martin O’Neill before Sunday’s FA Cup victory over Reading, but if you’ve looked at the fixture list you may be feeling the same as me.
I don’t blame MON’s little whine about fixture congestion, what sort of manager would he be if he didn’t, but he knows that this only happens to the
If you use the internet much then chances are high that you use Google at least every now and again. You may have noticed that the search giant often wants to help you with your searches by making suggestions to complete your phrase. This gives you a glimpse into the zeigeit as it’s based on what everyone else is searching for.
I stumbled on a suggestion for one of our players last night which caused me to check out
In short, no.
Then again, maybe it is… eventually.
Maybe no one really remembers the runner-up, but they’re rightly rewarded with cold hard currency which is needed to help finance next year’s campaigns. I’ve never made a secret of my opposition to the rich benefactor approach or my pride at the Villa way of doing things right now. I’m pretty certain that I’m not in the minority there.
I want to see Aston Villa challenging for titles at home and abroad as much
