The First 100

Martin O’Neill has now taken charge of 100 Premiership games at Aston Villa and it’s a great opportunity to compare his league record with his predecessors. So… great, or greatest??

Welcome to Emile Heskey

Emile Heskey signs a three and a half year contract in a £3.5 million switch from Wigan, but he’s never been without his detractors. So, what can he do for Aston Villa??

Liverpool or Everton in The FA Cup

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.

Heskey's Coming… Quick, Look Busy!!

Heskey’s name has been linked with Villa Park for a while. Today the rumours of an imminent signing flew around the interwebz. Still yet to be confirmed officially, The Sun are reporting it’s a deal. Gulp.

Brief Roundup

A quick scan of the main stories kicking around right now. Yup, no new signings to discuss then.

Own Goal Nonsense

Who makes the decisions about whether a goal is an own goal or not?? Someone made the wrong call recently and it matters. Fix it!!

Yes We Can

The tide is turning. The established “top four” are finally under a serious challenge to their monopoly of the top end of the table. Now it’s time to really get behind the team and cheer them on to success!! YES WE CAN!!!

41 Pts in 21 Games, Villa's Best Premiership Season Ever

10 years ago John Gregory’s Villa reached 40 points after 21 games. Then things went wrong and Villa slipped down to finish in 6th. Today, MON’s Villa side reached 41 points from the same number of games, a new record. The omens are good though, shouldn’t be a case of Déjà vu.
