The fixtures are out and while we won't pay the money to list them all, as it is sort of unnecessary when you have the BBC, we can tell you who the first game of the season is against and the last.
First up is Wigan at home and then we are away to West Ham, so you'd like to think the potential for six points. However, the match most fans will look out for is Birmingham City and I can tell you that we'll be playing them on September 12th away and April24th at home. In theory, we could relegate them.
But, we shouldn't forget, that we also have matches coming up before the league season starts. They're listed below.
- Saturday, 18 July 2009 v Peterborough away
- Tuesday, 21 July 2009 v Colchester away
- Saturday, 25 July 2009 v Malaga, Peace Cup
- Wednesday, 29 July 2009 v
CelticAtlante, Peace Cup
It is also worth noting that some of those dates might change. For the full fixture list click here.

It'll be a pleasure to get back to the usual Blues dump Villa headlines we got used to, apart from the last two season's in the Prem when Brucie lost the plot. Signin' Bentley and selling Young? Looking to get Laursen back? I think MON's doing a Brucie lads. I'll give us 4pts against Ladywood Casuals this season for sure. Can't wait me darlings! Haha! |

... Damian, We are NOT playing Celtic in the Peace Cup. They were taken out of the tournament as they have champs league qualifiers at the same time.A new team aint been drawn just yet. jk92923 All the teams have been put into 4 groups of 3. We aint in the same group as either Juventus or Madrid. The winners of each group go to semi - finals. The only way in which we can verse Madrid is if we both get to the final. However we can play Juventus in the semi - final. |

... Pete Hutton For the top 6 teams, away end tickets will go on sale to those who have been to 6 away games within the last 2 seasons. If those people don't sell out the allocation, the tickets will then go on sale to season ticket holders. If they don't sell the allocation out then it goes on sale to those with a booking history. For the lesser teams, it just goes on sale to season ticket holders, then people with a booking history and then general sale. I highly doubt u will be able to get a ticket to the scum away if u haven't got a season ticket. |

... I'm actually not getting any pleasure out of my predictions in 2007 all being right about RL and MON with regards to Villas progress. I just have the same old feeling of boredom and frustration and more worryingly my anger at it all has dissipated to just a mute meh of ambivalence towards it all, this worries me more than anything that I have a quiet resignation towards another season of mediocrity. I think MON et al are actually just damping down my fire now, I watched the least amount of premiership games last season than ever before as I am getting so disillusioned with it, the thing is I really don't want to be, but I couldnt name you the champions from the last 5 years, I just know that it would be someone out of the top 4 and really not be bothered by which one. Please help renew my excitement. ps Damina or anyone please could you put a list of all the players MON has sold and signed so we can see how successful he has been in the transfer market. Thank you, yours not so angry anymore taglor |

Then 22nd Oct wolves 24th affected, then 5th Nov, bolton h 7th affected, then 2nd or 3rd of Dec, if its the 3rd, hull h 5th affected, then the final group game is 16th or 17th Dec, maybe affecting 1 or both games, sunderland a 15th, stoke h 19th. Then if we qualify, top 2 we play 18th and 25th feb, 2 legs. 11 and 18th of march, 1 and 8th of April, 22 and 29th of april and the final is just 3 days after the league season, 12 may! |

Nicky Shorey - average Luke Young - average Carlos Cuellar - average James Milner - average Emile Heskey - dog shit Salifou - who? Marlon Harewood - dog shit Petrov - average Ashley Young - good Reo Coker - crap Zat Knight - shit Maloney - shit Players Out Barry - good Cahill - good Laursen - Mellberg - Sorenson - crap I am sure that i have missd people but got bored halfway through |

... Well, with all due respect Benny, its kind of diffcult to explain to someone who appears to have no concept of the rivalry and passion that splits any 2 rival teams (particularly Blues and Villa). Fans are 'in it' for their club, not their city so much. You want to be the top dog in your city, and then longterm your country. I'm a bit lost for words! However I do know a couple of other people with your view, but they're not passionate for football and don't grasp the rivalries. Who's your team? |

... Surely, if nothing else, academy players from top production lines could be brought in? Slightly off topic but City, West Ham etc will all have players not able to make a starting side that for a pitance would be available and surely worth a punt for nothing else but squad size alone? We saw what Gosling at Everton did to us in the FA Cup, surely a few 1-2 mil gambles wouldn't go astray? as opposed to nothing. |

said:

... 1874AVFC, i agree with what you say about our own academy, but similarly wonder whether or not we have what it takes there to unearth real quality. I love the look of Bannan but he is very very small, delfouneso obviously has something but again until he goes out on loan we wont know what consistent fotball can unearth in him and apart from that who else can we really hope to produce? Steiber i guess could be considered a potential first teamer, but where is he these days? I honestly think the best option for this transfer window would be to spend 25-30 mil on 5 players. Kyle Naughton, Michael Johnson, David Wheater, Fabian Delph and what ever happened to the Scharner link? would personally love to have him in, would even be reasonably happy with Distin as backup as i think cuellar will only get better the longer he gets first team football. That's a left back, centre half, two midfielders and potentially another centre half. Add to that Michael Owen on a free and that's 4-5 players for an outlay of 30 mil, of which we already have 12, plus potentially 4 mil more from harewood/shorey. Net spend 14 mil. This will provide us with a squad depth of the quality needed in the group stages of the europa league/ early rounds of the cups, and come january we could reassess, with the worst case scenario being 14 mil worth of as yet unfulfilled potential. Surel a case exists? |

Steiber, Albrighton, Bannan, O'Halloran aren't babies any longer, but still seem a million miles away from being announced on the tannoy at 2.55 on a Saturday afternoon. Delfouneso I hope will prove to be special, but from what bits I've seen I can't say I'm too excited, though he did take a couple of goals well in the FA cup and UEFA. |

Prelude to a point Curtis Davies average Steven Sidwell shit Brad Friedel good, but far too old Brad Guzan looked ok i guess Nicky Shorey shit Luke Young pretty good Carlos Cuellar never had a run in cb James Milner awful Emile Heskey rage inducing Marlon Harewood had a good 3 weeks, but shit Mustafa Salifou complete nothing Zat Knight ok back up. Wayne Routledge complete nothing Stilian Petrov shit apart from this season Didier Agathe nothing Chris Sutton scored against everton, otherwise shit John Carew A GOOD SIGNING Ashley Young ANOTHER! Shaun Maloney scored some freekicks, never good enough, shit Nigel Reo-Coker never gonna play games so out of 20 signings, only 3 have been good. so to those people who say we need to sign atleast 5 people this summer, you are wrong. We need atleast 46 or so. |

... Apparently we've made an offer for Drenthe; Now, this afternoon, the Portugese paper Abola has reported that Villa have made a formal offer of 5m euros (about £4.5m) and are hopeful that Madrid will accept it. Is the disappointing Dutchman even worth that amount? Hmmmmmmmm |

... If that is true I think he is worth the gamble, if the price was like 7 8 million then i would say no but for 4.5 million id say take the gamble. |

... I also think Drenthe could the sort of signing we need 2 attract other names to Villa Park to. Hopefully O'neill can also put a bid in for Defour before Liverpool does. |

... That Drenthe story is probably a load of rubbish. It would be interesting though. Personally, I'd take Naughton, who shouldn't cost much more. Proven in the English game and all that. |

... I'd take both of them lol would be quite good with Drenthe and Young bombing down the left wing. With Naughton and Milner/Bentley down the right. |

... Awk, jk, granted he runs alot, and his free kick against everton was amazing. but apart from that, most of his crosses don't make it, he can't get past people (those last 2 are quite important for a winger) and if he's near the ball in our own box he's already given away a penalty. thats why i summise him to be awful, he did cost £12 million. |

... taglor is spot on in fac t he has been generous in his asessment of oneils signings. vivavilla and others how can you say petorv is a better than average signing. oneil signed him to be an attacking midfilder scoring goals and he quite simply isnt that. he was terrible for nearly 2 years and has been good for a year as a defensive midfielder. oh yes what a stunning signing seeing as we already according to capello anmd the like have the best defensive english midfielder. taglor even gave oneil credit for signing carew - f$ck he didnt even want him and was offered him in the baros swap deal. apart from that young was a good singing but thats it. he is terrible in the transfer market end of! his last good signing Jan 2007 and counting! |

... I think Cuellar in time will become a good signing, and so add that to Carew, Young and probably Petrov and Milner and there are a couple decent signings around, but the problem is is that it took three years to get 5 good signings, do we think he will get another 5 in this one window?! Defour, Drenthe and Bentley would be a start |

... I notice that spurs have had their bid for Real Klaas Hantelaar declined, his agent said "Klaas wants to play in the Champions League" - it's becoming increasingly obvious what this means is: Gimme more money The teams who can afford to pay more money are in the Champions League, I wander if he would take a pay cut to play in the Champions League??????? Call me cynical if you like. |

... The villa desperetly need 2 sign someone as we have to many average players. Barrys loss is a big blow and the retirement of Laursen the great dane. I think we should gon 4 jermaine jenas and eidur gudjohnson. We still probly need 5 or 6 players. Im fond of O Neill but he is awful in any transfer market. The only proper good deal he has done would be CAREW and Ashley YOUNG in january 2007. 2008/09 season we blew it for 4th place. He said we needed more players in january but what does he go and do, buys heskey and no 1 else. I just dont understand it, i even read articles in the papers and Martin O Neill says we need up 2 six players. SO WHY DOESNT HE GO BUY THEM THEN. Dont say if not going 2 be done. We are still years ahead of the shit down the road. US 2 DO DOUBLE 1-2 5-1! |
