I only decided to have a crack at this wallpaper this morning, so, given that I’ve not tried an illustration before, I’m reasonably happy with it. If I had more time I would have made a few more snowmen and definitely given them some Villa scarves!! Maybe next year.
I’d like to thank everyone who has stopped by the blog this year and wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I’d wish you a Happy New Year, but I’m expecting you
So old Sparky has been shown the exit at Eastlands. Hands up if that shocked you. Alright, the powers that be at City handled the matter with as little class as you’d expect based on the vulgar way they throw their money around, but I struggle to feel much sympathy for Hughes. Two Footed Tackle does a fine job representing my own perspective, so I won’t waste space here repeating that view.
In any case, if Hughes really
An old friend of mine, a Baggies fan, emailed me to say that as much as he hated to admit it, Stoke’s disallowed goal should have stood and asked what I thought. I didn’t disagree, but goals change games so we shouldn’t assume that the rest of the game would have played out exactly the same to end in a 1-1 draw. I’m confident that we would have found the necessary goals to win the game and the
Perhaps more workman like than spectacular, but job done and it’s a good day at the office for Aston Villa. Substitute John Carew’s 61st minute goal was the ultimate difference between the teams at Villa Park, but Villa’s quality shone through and they thoroughly deserved to edge back into third place in the Premiership.
MON put out an unchanged side for the fourth game running and who can blame him since they do say that you shouldn’t change a winning
It’s time to put this silly rumour to bed. Brad Guzan is not growing his “neckbeard” for an upcoming staring role in a Hollywood movie and this is not a real movie poster.
Please, enough of this nonsense!! Thank you.
In Part I we went behind the scenes of a failed Aston Villa wallpaper. Here in Part II we’ll take a quick look at the evolution of the wallpapers here at Aston Villa Central by touring the ones that didn’t make the cut.

This was the first Aston Villa image I ever created. The picture shows Stan Petrov moments after firing his audacious effort on goal in the 6-0 destruction of Derby at Pride Park.
Have you ever found yourself watching a bad movie, perhaps late at night, and known that you should switch over, or switch off and find something more useful to do, like sleep? Do you ever hear yourself arguing with that little voice who is telling you to turn it off? ‘Give it a bit longer, it will probably get better’, but eventually you find yourself staring at the rolling credits knowing that you’ve just wasted 90 minutes of
I’m bringing the average position map back for this game since Milner, Ash, Downing, Gabby & Heskey aren’t all in one big pile! I think this one is a pretty decent depiction of how the current system functions.
As far as the numbers go, well you can see for yourself. Had we not scored more goals than Sunderland and, therefore, won the game, might this be evidence of our shortcomings for any of the overly vocal detractors floating around
Aston Villa have eased back into third place in the Premiership after beating Sunderland 2-0 at The Stadium of Light tonight.
It was a slightly scrappy affair at times, but Villa put in no more effort than they needed to and always looked like there was another gear or two available if required. It wasn’t, but they couldn’t hide the chinks of quality shining through.
Heskey opened the scoring in the 27th minute after Petrov worked some space for James Milner
