  1. I kind of like that he is obviously still very ambitious, but not saying stuff like we will be the worlds best again. The stadium plans sound interesting, seems like they are planning a complete rebuild.
  2. Earlier in the season after the Boro game I thought there was no way back for Bruce. He's done really well for us since then. Credit where it is due.
  3. Thought we were good today, Ipswich obviously weren't at their best. Albert was like a show pony out there today, tricks and flicks galore. I urge everyone to watch the extended highlights and check out the clip over the wingers head whilst he was covering at left back in the first half. The most audacious thing I've seen a villa player do in quite a while.
  4. Thought he did good today, he really is the new Heskey (good way), but he will never get 20 a season because of this.
  5. Tony was loving his lap of the ground before the match today. He gets it.
  6. Bruce doesn't win pretty, and definitely not convincingly and probably never will. That said our form is really good in terms of results. Long may this continue.
  7. I sometimes feel this. I always have a nervous feeling that we are riding a wave of good form that will crash down at any moment. But as time goes by and we continue to win more games than not, I am starting to believe that for the first time in years we are organised and half-decent.
  8. Nightmare that they have the new manager in place. On paper a 3-0 last week, not sure now.
  9. Model professional. Fell out of the side, didn't moan, worked hard and got back in. Very likeable guy, and a top player at this level.
  10. I like Hogan, I really hope he comes good - but the more time passes, the more I think this widely held belief about the teams playing style is a myth.
  11. Would be barbaric, but probably not beyond the realms of possibility.
  12. My favourite player for us. Top professional and a very decent player. Can tell he enjoys playing for the side. Would do a job for us in the Premier League too.
  13. If he could add more goals to his name, he will fill a long term Benteke sized whole in our team. Amazing to think how good he's been given his age and rapid development.
  14. Not McGrath, but it really is a privilege to see him in a villa kit.
  15. I share the frustration and the feeling of nearly being there, but it is 19pts from 24 possible if we win tonight. If we replicate that for the season we will win the league.
  16. I should have put this in to context, I would have said this before today's game, but now feel we must win.
  17. Not a terrible result. Means we need to win at Preston now if we have automatic promotion aspirations.
  18. Exactly this, I worry they will target Kodj and provoke a red card for us. We need to be calm and professional.
  19. I'm nervous about our next two games. A derby is a knife edge game, and Preston are a difficult side to play. Despite winning 5 from 6 I just don't ever feel confident. Nothing to do with the players or manager, it's the feeling of the inevitable hurt that comes from being a villa fan.
  20. For real? In the championship he's doing plenty well enough for us.
  21. I think obviously the Blues game is important, but the Preston game will give us a good indication of where we are looking at for the season. cannot fault the form of the team currently, playing 70% of potential and winning 5 out of 6
  22. We have 34 games remaining, if we repeat the form of the last 5 games we end up with 103pts. It's the same terrible logic.
