I think it's nailed on that Garde is going today or tomorrow rather than at the end of the season now. Too many people are writing about it for it to turn out to be wrong. And I like Garde, so feel
I've resigned myself to relegation. I sort of accepted it a while ago and it doesn't really bother me that much. I mean, we're not going to win the League any time soon, despite Leicester showing
Tom Fox has gone and nobody can be surprised by this. He didn't understand football, let alone running a business. He could sure as hell sell a can of coke though and he'll end up in that business a
Manchester United sacked David Moyes when it was mathematically impossible to qualify for the Champions League. David Moyes turned down the Aston Villa job because Tom Fox didn't want to relinquish c
Spurs are contenders for the Premier League title. Spurs can win the league and we could be going down. I don't think they will but that doesn't really matter. They've made the Champions League and
I sometimes start these posts with on our day we can beat anyone or football is a funny old game and anything can happen. That isn't going to happen today. Not sure what is going to happen today act
I've taken to not posting after the match because it's basically the same post every time and nobody wants to read the same post every week. Instead, I like to sit back with a drink and think about
I think I wrote a few weeks ago how relegation is mostly something that will hurt for a few seconds and be quite embarrassing for a longer time, if it happens. But there are positives. It's not we'
Matches get bigger every week. Next week, regardless of what happens today, some supporters are planning on walking out. Muppets all of them, on so many levels and when they can't understand that
You've heard all the blarney before about how it's hard to write about Aston Villa or write the same things week in week out, so I'm not going there. But I am going to repeat myself today. I'm also
Had we won yesterday we would be five points from safety and while still a huge task, with twelve games to go, some would have been thinking it was possible. Instead, we didn't win and even worse, we
It's a big ask, but if Aston Villa win today we will be five points from safety with twelve games to go. And that is still a big ask but it's a lot better than where we were. We've still got to mak
Everyone knows I've got this optimistic view on things Aston Villa at the moment and while I had a good feeling about the game on Saturday, I have to admit that my confidence was simply blind optimis
Steve Hodge is on his way to Villa Park today, desperate for lunch. He can't wait to sit down to his five course binge before the match and then his after match five course binge. He's a food man y
As I made my way to East London the other night, I had time to ponder a transfer window where the club failed to deliver either of the two strategies it could have deployed. They could either pursue
We're going to focus on the match in another post later, but for now I'm going to focus on this one, because there has been an outpouring of anger on social media the last 24 hours over the lack of
Call me deluded or mad and take a shot, I don't care because tonight is what many will refer to in years to come as the night we fought back and things turned good for Aston Villa. Tonight, will be
It wasn't that I wasn't interested in the FA Cup, it was that I had a feeling that it wasn't going to go the way we would have liked and when watching, not live I have to admit as we had people round
There is one positive to take from January; it could have been worse. And I apologise for my lack of activity, but this blog isn't going to write the same post three different ways for you in a week
Today is a big day. We could lose and 'kid' ourselves that the next game is the one we need to win. But a win today would be big. It could also be massive if results go our way. And it's a game we
The FA Cup result was precisely what we needed and that's now four games without defeat. The performance could have been better, but we did play with what the manager might consider an almost second
You know, the result against Leicester wasn't that bad and the second half performance was nearly perfect. Another goal or two and I'd be getting Garde tattooed on my arse. And as someone said; that
The result last week brought some optimism. The actions from Randy Lerner and Tom Fox this week brought a feeling of despair. We need to win today and if we do there will be some renewed optimism, bu
Do you want me to look for positives and throw huge amounts of optimism at you. Do you really want me to try and make you feel good when we sit bottom of the table. I can if you want me to, because
The news is out and the part that I liked best was a quote from the current Aston Villa CEO Tom Fox. He says 'I have now spent many hours with Steve both with Randy in the States, and at Villa Park an
I have already written this post, but in a drunk moment, I lost it. So it's not going to be as long as the last one, but I'll try to get the points across. Let me start by saying that Micah Richa
I've not posted since the match at Wycombe and it's not because of the draw, it's quite simply because of what happened after, at the stadium and social media. I mean, is what happened really call
Sometimes, when it's cold in the morning, all I need is the wife to take the duvet off me and I'm up. Maybe all Aston Villa need is a win and today presents a great opportunity for that. The fat l

Some things surprise me and some don't. It's seven days into the transfer window and we're in desperate need of new players yet we haven't signed anyone and our manager is now talking about how diffi
Pat Murphy has said that we spoke with David Moyes when Tim Sherwood was sacked and the implication was that Moyes was interested, but he'd want to much control of football matters. That is exactly wh

What do you want me to write? Should I write about how the players didn't exactly look like they were playing for their jobs or that when we went 2-1 down Garde looked a man lost? No, I wont write th
The thing is, a lot of people think we are down already. I’m close to accepting it as something that is going to happen but as you all know, I like my charts and I’m a fan of form, so I still th
