In Villa's Defense

There's no Defense! Nobody will deny, the goals against Villa this season are going to send us down, but who is to blame? We can look around the Villa team and see areas with a lack of experience in their positions. Villa have Gana, Veretout, Ayew, Amavi, Okore, and more, but one area we have experience is defense. We look at Guzan, Hutton, Richards, Lescott, Clark, and Richardson, and we have 1490 games at a Premier or Championship

Aston Villa - Naughty or Nice

As we move towards the festive season, we will find out if Villa have been naughty, or nice. The next five fixture will show if the Remi has worked some magic on the training field. As we analyze those fixture, we will see if Villa will arrive at the New Year in high spirits. Southampton (away): In the last six fixtures away to Southampton, Villa have only walked away with one win back in 2013. Delph's late strike secured the win, but with him slithering away to Manchester, do we have s

It's All About the Base!

It's All About the Base! Since the arrival of the new "Garde", people have been talking about a new start. Sadly, after the 4-0 drubbing at Everton, new start or not, the same issues came to the surface. Villa have suffered with consistency for the last 5 years, the only thing that has been consistent is the fight against relegation. It is time to stop the tinkering with the team, and find a base we can build off. It doesn't matter in th

Jack Grealish - A True Claret and Blue?

Jack Grealish - A True Claret and Blue? In the Guardian, on the 14th October, 2014, Jack Grealish stated after signing a new four year contract, "I’ve grown up supporting the club. In fact I’ve had a season ticket at Villa since I was four years old and came to every game so this is a big thing for me and my family." Fast forward thirteen months, and the new Aston Villa manager labels Jack, "Unprofessional", as he is dropped from the squad to face Watford, in a

  The hyperbole is getting out of control. He is far and away their best player. He was a world cup winning side's best player. 13 goals and 9 assists from midfield this season, pretty much double the next highest midfielder in the Premier League. But you would think he was **** Yacouba Sylla the way some of you go on.

  While not on the same level obviously, Guzan was pretty solid for us until that howler at Man City.

  Mediocre manager who doesn't know how to set up a defence, and found his level at Brentford -- whose success was all down to their scouting network and data analysts. We deserve better!

  It was pretty impressive. Right decision to sack him though it usually goes downhill for Mourinho teams after the 2nd season.

  Villa strung 23 passes together during a spell in the 2nd half before a Millwall player managed to head it out for a throw. Tony Gale described it as "breathtaking football by Millwall" He's up there with Gayle, Hoddle, Walker and Walsh in the berk stakes. (They were all pseudonyms for Gale in the match thread😀)
