You can't blame anyone for thinking that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was going to be our next manager. He said himself that if an offer was made he was comin...
Well, what a difference a year can make. Cast your thoughts back to a year ago, when Villa were on the search for a successor to Gerard Houllier. Almo...
I don't pretend to know people in the game close to Lerner or Lerner himself. I don't pretend to know players or have sources overseas. Sure, I someti...
Hope is a demon. It sets you up and when you least expect it, it flattens you. According to reports coming out of Norway, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will st...
I really don't enjoy getting carried away with speculation, but I guess you could argue that this isn't speculation any more and that there is a serio...
At this time of the season the madness usually focuses on players coming or going but for us, silly season is all about a manager. In the last few hou...
I feel like the guy at the party that is about to tell everyone to go home because it is late but everyone wants to keep going until the sun comes up....
The Times believe that Alex McLeish has gone and is anyone surprised? No, not really. He was never going to last and they were always going to wait un...
Aston Villa lose the last game of the season and nobody is really surprised, so this is going to be a short post. We lost, again. We went a season wit...
Norwich have done really well this season and they should be proud. I'm not sure if they will be able to sustain it next season, but for a first seaso...
Tomorrow is the end of the season and while I am looking forward to it this season, I'm also a bit sad. I feel sad for Alex McLeish because he is losi...
The end of the season is nearly upon us and I've got to be honest and tell you, I'm looking forward to it this year and I don't think I've said that b...
The last game of the season is nearly upon us and I for one am looking forward to the free weekends for once. I'm not looking forward to all the specu...
I guess you can say this is confirmed; Carlos Cuellar is leaving and he has as good as confirmed it on Facebook. How sad is that? Possibly the best de...
We went 1-0 up when Ciaran Clark had a shot from close to thirty yards hit Gallas on the head and deflect past Friedel and we went in at half time lea...
Let me get this out of the way first and apologies if this turns out longer than it should; the protests today are pointless. Pointless is a strong wo...
Spurs had a good result last night and they've basically put themselves in pole position for fourth spot, which actually, isn't very good for us. You ...
Do you feel like a jilted lover? For years of your life, you put your heart and soul into a relationship, and then you start to feel the slow, lingeri...
There are many stories I could write about where someone has taken their foot off the gas, so to speak, thinking they had the race won, only to lost i...
Sometimes it snows in April. Sometimes a monkey gets it right. Throw enough money at the Premier League and you'll win it (Manchester City might prove...
I've thought and written for a while that I don't think we will fall into the bottom three and while results didn't go exactly how we would have liked...
I had a post all written and I went to open a new tab and pressed R instead of T and the page reloaded. I lost everything. And it was a good one too, ...
A statement from the club this week said something about only concentrating on the next three games and there is a lot of speculation that the manager...
Think everyone will agree this season is one best forgotten and if we go down, the summer will be spent thinking, what went wrong? If we stay up, I'm ...
Alex McLeish is an inept football manager. Can we all agree on this now? I told you this the day he was appointed and I've told you several times sinc...
There was a story somewhere yesterday about the stewards at Villa Park pushing children aside just to get to a banner that a couple of young girls wer...
Some things are meant to be. One point at Villa Park is turning into exactly that thing and are you surprised? No. You're not. But the club are happy ...
I'm trying to think of something to write about the game today that will inspire confidence or optimism. I've sat here for nearly twenty minutes and n...
The day Alex McLeish was appointed manager, I called it a dark day and not just because he was our new manager, but because and mostly because, that w...
So, we got beaten by Manchester United. How sad is it that we all expected this result from this manager? What I mean is, sure, it is always going to ...
Where do I start? Last time out we drew with Stoke and Manchester United were beaten by Wigan. What do you think will happen today? Actually, rather t...
You judge a man by his actions. Randy Lerner took a massive dump on Aston Villa when he appointed Alex McLeish and Alex McLeish keeps hitting his head...
This week, Aston Villa secured the title for the fourth time in five years. This isn’t a glimpse into a utopian future where the Second City reigns su...
I don't know what to tell you. A wonderful goal from Andreas Weimann and I really do mean wonderful, was the moment of the day. After that and before ...
I really do enjoy it when we have games on the bounce like this as it makes football interesting and this time of the season so much can change. U...
A match is ninety minutes and in any given match, anything can happen. I’m not making excuses or looking for something to counter any opinion anyone m...
I'm going to start with my prediction: there will be a winner today. Okay, that isn't a great prediction, but I'm not saying we are going to lose eith...
If you look at the current form table, we are 17th and if you think that means we are in a good place, think again. Only one of the sides that sit bel...
What a disaster hey? Everyone’s pre-season fears regarding McLeish have materialised. The football has been dour, the home form has been pathetic and ...
I didn't write a post directly after the match on Saturday because I didn't see the match until last night and I didn't want to write without knowing,...
I'll start with the sad news about Stan Petrov. If you didn't already know, Stan has been diagnosed wiht acute leukaemia. I'm not a medical person, bu...
I'm not sure about this, but did we have a shot on target in ninety minutes? Or let me put it another way; did we force the keeper into making a save?...
Arsenal, on their day, can play the type of football that makes you want to watch for another ninety minutes - even if you are on the wrong side of it...
You probably know, but the game against Bolton has been postponed and I don't think I need to explain why. Some have said it should have gone ahead, b...
