Sunday Funday, Burnley at Villa Park and match facts from the BBC

Sunday Funday, Burnley at Villa Park and match facts from the BBC

05 October 2025
  • Super John McGinn
  • Burnley
  • Marco Bizot
Burnley have four points this season and if they win today, they go above us. Just because this is their first season back doesn't mean this is an easy game. That said, we've won three in a row and we have John McGinn who is currently scoring at a ra...

Good weekend, Feyenoord in Rotterdam tonight and match facts from the BBC

  • Fulham
  • Feyenoord
It was a nervous start against Fulham at the weekend but things worked out in the end and it was great to see Watkins and Buendia make such an impact. I shouldn't forget McGinn also, that's two in eight this season and don't hate me for this, that's ...

Fulham today, the good old days and match facts from the BBC

28 September 2025
  • Crystal Palace
  • Fulham
  • Unai Emery
  • Bologna
  • Harvey Elliott
In the good old days, the League table wasn't published until six games in, because it was sensible. Granted, you could always find it and this wasn't a rule or law, it's just how it happened. It was a sensible approach.

And today, we play our sixth g...

Forgetting Sunderland, Bologna on Thursday

23 September 2025
  • Unai Emery
  • Bologna
  • Sunderland
Well, I just don't know. How do you write about Sunderland and be positive? In the grand scheme of things, it's still a great time to be an Aston Villa fan, but at this moment in time, it's a little concerning.

It's concerning because we've not looked...

Sunderland on Sunday and new ground for the owners and manager

18 September 2025

  • Wes Edens
  • Nassef Sawiris
  • Unai Emery
  • Sunderland
So, the other night wasn't great and while I might have written that it was our best chance of silverware, all are fairly equal when you start out. Maybe not having the League Cup on the schedule gives us a little breathing space and that might turn ...

At Brentford in the League Cup, playing our best eleven

16 September 2025
  • League Cup
  • Brentford
  • Emiliano Martinez
  • Unai Emery
  • Harvey Elliott
  • Jadon Sancho
I had a post written. It was wonderful. But then I closed the browser window down and I've just remembered. It went a little something like this.

Silverware is silverware and it's what football is all about. It's about winning matches. And because of ...

At Everton, Jack, Jadon, Harvey and match facts from the BBC

12 September 2025
  • Jack Grealish
  • Everton
  • Unai Emery
  • Harvey Elliott
  • Jadon Sancho
I know it's not Goodison Park but I think it's going to be a while before I start thinking of Everton playing anywhere else even though what they have now is very different and quite impressive. And who is Hill Dickinson?

This is a little interesting....

Window shut, season starts now and international break

02 September 2025
  • Crystal Palace
  • Emiliano Martinez
  • Unai Emery
When Jacob Ramsey left, someone somewhere posted something about supporters maybe not knowing all the details. I don't know who it was and it might never have happened, but I think it did.

I write this to say, selling Ramsey was good for the Club and ...

With your usual vocal backing and 110 percent effort from each and every one of the players, I am sure we will get the right result.
Ron Saunders
I don't particularly like Birmingham City after the four games we have played against them in the Premiership.
Olof Mellberg
Villa have amazing support. If you hung 11 Villa shirts on a washing line 20,000 fans would turn up to watch them!
