Merson08

love him..to think he signed for us when we were mid table in the championship.

Any link to this game?

Iv heard that some fixtures were leaked and Aston Villa are playing the first game at home to Leicester. Not sure how true this is.

I hear James Rodriguez doesn't want stay at Bayern and Madrid don't want him. 5M and he's ours!

Mitrovic could be decent did good for Fulham.

Going for Wilson for RF would be a good shout. Also wouldn't mind an effort for Mason Mount. Both young and could sell on for a higher fee but untested in the PL but 99% of our team is.

Whats this even mean? I keep seeing it and cant break it down to come up with anything.

Its a relegation play off for Caen. There not down yet. I wont lie, I am not sure how the relegation play off works in France but I presume its probably like Scotland.

Didn't Derby earlier this season sell Pride Park to themselves to meet their FFP. Wouldn't surprise me if Villa did the same. Why not? It has zero effect on Villa Park and gains a revenue boost for the following season. Headling from the BBC post regarding the sale of Pride Park: Derby have reported a pre-tax profit of £14.6m after selling their Pride Park stadium to owner Mel Morris for £80m.

Could be Derby yet. Another game to go and Derby have to go for the win. I think there's going to be another twist in this race.

Sorry but this isn't right. They have just beat a local team on penalties and taken us to Wembley. Let them celebrate, whats the worst that can happen. It will bring the team morale and bonding as high as it could ever be this season. This is football, live for the emotions. If ya want them to be quiet the venue should change to a graveyard.

Dwight Gayle would be worth looking at. He scores and is a nuisance and would now suit our fast football play.

I don't like the fact that Steer has been the busier keeper.

In fairness, I think what you do is brilliant. If it was any other player than Hepburn-Murphy (sick note) I wouldn't of noticed. Feel a bit of a **** for pointing it out now. haha

Hepburn-Murphy is a paradox. 4 appearances and 2 sub appearances and 852 minutes to show for it.

BEAST.

After the Millwall game Aston Villa have 75 points out of a possible 132. The final projected points total will currently be 78 points that is points after 46 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 5th. There is still 6 points to play for giving us a maximum potential points haul of 81 points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the appointment of Dean Smith the new projected points total would be 79 points that is points after 46 games. That has included of 1.25 PPG from Steve Bruce and the current 1.875PPG from Smith. Using 1.875PPG over the remaining 2 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 5th. UTV PURELY FOR COMPARISONS THE BELOW IS 10 GAMES AGO. After the Stoke game Aston Villa have 45 points out of a possible 102. The final projected points total will currently be 61 points that is points after 46 games. Basing this off last seasons final table will put us 12th. There is still 36 points to play for giving us a maximum potential points haul of 81 points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the appointment of Dean Smith the new projected points total would be 61 points that is points after 46 games.

Any streams available?

3 Points it is then.

Thinking from a complete money making perspective. Betting on Villa to win Bolton 3-0. If we play them we could do it, if its automatic win to Villa its normally by 3 goals to 0. Winner, winner?

This was my thinking three years ago about the Championship, obviously I was ignorant about it as we had spent a long time in the Premiership. The Championship is a tough league and its competitive throughout. They have been screwed over on TV money but the league is of a decent standard and you could pull the bottom ten from the Premiership into it and half would finish midtable. I have enjoyed the last three years here, hopefully its our turn to depart it. Aston Villa has finally found itself again whilst we were here. Fond memories. If we do fall back into it, a poxy league isn't what we will find. Championship, i'm glad of you. Aston Villa has found its heart again. The sleeping Lion has awoke.

Rondon would be a good shout, had an impressive season for Newcastle. Big forward and can hold the ball up. Most recent game against Leicester he had a brilliant game.

Apologies for missing the last three weeks, I have been topping a tan up on holiday to visit family in Croatia. After the Bristol City game Aston Villa have 69 points out of a possible 126.

Bristol Citys run in is pretty horrible for them too now, at least 4 of their games are tough. (H) WBA, (A) Villa, (H) Reading, (A) Sheff Wed, (H) Derby, (A) Millwall, (A) Hull

Great write John as always! Keep doing these!
