Congratulations to the reserves who beat Sunderland 3-1 to win the Barclays Reserve Leage title with goals from Delfouneso, Collins & Lowry.
In other brief news; Stan has signed a new contract which is obviously great news.
Martin Laursen’s injury has sadly got the better of him and he has been forced into retirement from professional football.
The Reserves win their league for the second year running and now get to play another final, this time at Villa Park.
Ash has won the PFA Young Player of the Year… there’s some silverware this season after all!!
Doesn’t look like Martin Laursen will make it back this season… Uh Oh. Don’t worry, Emile probably will!! *gulp*
Aston Villa will face either Everton or Liverpool in the 5th Round of the FA Cup should they successfully navigate their way past Doncaster Rovers. As the fixtures pile up it looks likely that MON will soon be forced to make some tough decisions.
A quick scan of the main stories kicking around right now. Yup, no new signings to discuss then.
Villa’s scrappy 3rd round win against Gillingham earned us a place in the 4th round draw. And we won another away day to lower league opposition. Anyone else concerned that we don’t seem to turn it on against smaller teams these days??
There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that John Carew won’t be back soon. So there’s some good news??
