Long live the Don, Everton at Villa Park on Sunday and match facts from the BBC

Long live the Don, Everton at Villa Park on Sunday and match facts from the BBC

16 January 2026
  • Tammy Abraham
  • Everton
  • Donyell Malen
It's confirmed that Donyell Malen has left Aston Villa and I don't think this will split opinion, but he will be missed. What will divide opinion is his importance. Me, I liked him and thought he was valuable and I'd have liked to see him at Villa Pa...

At Spurs in the FA Cup and match facts from the BBC

10 January 2026
  • Spurs
  • Brian Madjo
  • Conor Gallagher
This is going to sound strange, but I'm not that interested in the FA Cup match at Spurs today.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be watching and I want us to win and you all know my views on silverware, but if we don't win and that gives us a 1% better chance...

Palace tonight, Forest last time out and match facts from the BBC

07 January 2026
  • Crystal Palace
  • Nottingham Forest
  • Unai Emery
It's nearly a week since I posted and after three weeks off for Christmas, I'm back in the office for a few hours today but the football continues and tonight it's another trip to London, this time at Crystal Palace.

And it feels a little like Palace ...

Losing at Arsenal, Forest up next and match facts from the BBC

Losing at Arsenal, Forest up next and match facts from the BBC

01 January 2026
  • Arsenal
  • Nottingham Forest
They say, the hardest part about getting promoted is staying in the new division. I think they are probably right. And the hardest part about going on a winning run like we have, is going to be the first match after defeat.

Nottingham Forest is that m...

Arsenal tomorrow, tosh talk on title and match facts from the BBC

29 December 2025
  • Arsenal
  • Chelsea
  • Unai Emery
I want to start with talk of challenging for the title and I'm not going to write about this again because I think it's quite ridiculous that there is even talk about this at the moment. But I understand why.

It's the oldest form of clickbait there is...

At Chelsea, Arsenal on Tuesday and match facts from the BBC

27 December 2025
  • Arsenal
  • Chelsea
We can't stop the changes that are coming and we accept them and it's like we want them to happen. I'm writing this because someone posted a comment yesterday about how it might be that the 3pm matches on a Saturday may be broadcast in the UK at some...

Manchester United at Villa Park and match facts from the BBC

21 December 2025
  • Manchester United
  • West Ham
It's been a long year so booked a last minute trip and that's the reason for no post recently. I've found myself on Gran Canaria, sunburnt and hungover. But it's match day and a post is needed. But because of where I find myself, it will likely be a ...

  • FIFA
  • Unai Emery
  • Basel
I've seen Aston Villa win silverware and I've seen us lose finals. I've seen us compete at the top of the league and I've seen us relegated. But right now, in this very moment, I don't recall such a good run and overall positive feeling. 

That doesn't...

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!
