Well what can I say, I have waited 12 years to see Robbie Keane in a Villa shirt and it was well worth the wait.

Everton with a makeshift defence were there for the taking. But this was another disappointing home performance save in main by a purple patch at the start of the second half that was brought to an abrupt end with an equalizer that came against the run of play but led to the anxiety of both team and crowd re-emerging.

A game that had started with us having great expectations ended with us in despair having seen our team change before our very eyes from Mr Hyde to Dr Jekyll within 48 hours without the aid of any potion.

A draw would have been the much fairer result but not for the first time a late goal and our inability to defend set pieces did for us.

Our second successive home December defeat was sealed by Liverpool’s second goal which ended the game as a contest in just 15 minutes. A Villa outfit without Gabby and Bent never looked likely to trouble their solid defence and we were fortunate that they did not increase the margin of our defeat in the remaining 75 minutes.

I was brought up in the 1940s and 1950s to believe that the Villa was still a giant in the world of football and I have heard over and over again in the past 50 years how Villa is a ‘sleeping giant’. The club has a massive catchment area, yet no-one has tried, in all earnest, to capitalise on it.

It was not unexpected that we would lose yesterday as we have become accustomed to doing that against yesterday’s opponents in recent decades but it was the manner of our defeat that was so very hard to swallow!

Never mind the rumours circulating that players were sent out on Monday night solely to keep the score down, the tactics and setup of the team provided a much more real and obvious reason why Aston Villa never had a chance of taking any points home from White Hart Lane before the first blow of a whistle.

This was a vital win (as was proven beyond any reasonable doubt when the identity of our opponents in our next three home games was flashed up on the boards around the ground yesterday) and we achieved the win in some style!

It is unusual for a poster to garner such feeling towards him but Patrick Ebbutt (Paddy) was one such user of VillaTalk. Yesterday he lost his gallant battle with the horrible disease that is cancer.

Two consecutive league defeats have seen an end to our unbeaten record both away and now at home and this is our second consecutive 2 – 1 defeat against WBA after being a goal ahead. Although a linesman had a big hand to play in this one!

As a reward for AJs exam results both he and I were invited along to The Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Our unbeaten league run now stands at 7 under Big Eck and a return of 11 points from 7 games does not look too shabby on paper.

Last night our lack of incoming summer transfer activity came home to roost and our main chance of success (if there really was any) passed us by to be replaced by the grim task of gathering 33 points from what looks like being a long hard season.

Two teams that started yesterday’s game unbeaten remain unbeaten after it. Given that Newcastle had the lion’s share of the game a point was an acceptable outcome for us but it remains another two points dropped at Villa Park.

Due once more to the generosity of the club we are able to offer a pair of tickets to the home match with the pie eaters from Wigan in a couple of weeks time. A Saturday 3pm kick off, too on 1st October.

Archie from the latin lions started a good debate about the finances of the club on our forum. He posted:
“I have been very struck by the recent decision of the club to cut paltry expenses like the free cup tickets for the staff (when the stadium is half empty in the first cup ties) and the free Match Programmes for the Lions Clubs' chairmen. Obviously I have no problems to pay the match programmes from now on, this is not the point.

Our first goalless draw against Wolves since 1975 left them temporarily on top of the table rather than us on a day that many of our fans chose to stay away and leave gapping spaces around the ground for a local derby between two teams that had started the day in the top 4.
