The draw for the knock out rounds of the UEFA Cup have been made. Villa will face some tough opposition in the next round and possibly English opposition after that. Did Martin O’Neill make the right choice playing the second stringers??
7 Villans are in the Actim Top 100 updated Dec 17th 2008.
Craig Gardner has called for the the fringe players to get a second bite of the UEFA Cup apple and from the 20 man squad announced on avfc.co.uk it looks like he’s going to get his wish. Several top players get left behind for some much needed R&R.
Fabio Capello has his eye on a few of Villa’s young stars, but you might be surprised at what he has to say about our current record signing.
Crouch. Heskey. Ashley Young off to Real Madrid?? Oh yes, the silly rumours have already started.
Villa are one of a handful of Intertoto Cup “winners” left in the UEFA Cup and are therefore in the hunt to be the overall winners of the trophy. OK, it’s only the Intertoto I know, but it could be the first reason to unlock the silverware cabinet this season.
We’re gonna win the league, we’re gonna win the league!! Well, maybe not this year, but how are we doing compared with the past?? You’ll have to go back 10 years to beat our current points haul at this stage of the Premiership season.
Barrygate is quietly fading into the distant memory for some, but all is forgiven with few. In Gareth Barry’s recent interview he’s made some positive statements. Without a full apology for the NotW interview though, will that be enough to satisfy his biggest detractors??
