Bournemouth at Villa Park, slip up last weekend and some players back

Bournemouth at Villa Park, slip up last weekend and some players back

08 November 2025
  • Bournemouth
  • Emiliano Buendia
  • Youri Tielemans
Thursday was a nice run out but nicer to see Tielemans and Buendía back on the bench and getting some minutes. Nice also too see we're in the top eight, which is basically where we want to finish after these initial matches.

But the focus has to be th...

Maccabi Tel Aviv at Villa Park and that match last weekend

Maccabi Tel Aviv at Villa Park and that match last weekend

06 November 2025
  • Liverpool
  • Europa League
  • Maccabi Tel Aviv
I don't often write that we're going to win a match and I didn't last weekend, but I thought we had a good chance. Liverpool are not the Liverpool they were under Klopp and they were on a horrible run. But it just wasn't our day.

And those days happen...

Manchester City done, Liverpool next and match facts from the BBC

Manchester City done, Liverpool next and match facts from the BBC

29 October 2025
  • Manchester City
  • Liverpool
  • Matty Cash
  • Unai
It was a very good result and performance at the weekend and Matty Cash is in the spotlight for a second week running. This time, scoring the goal with his weaker foot to win us the game.

That said, if he turned water into wine, there would still be s...

Ahead to Manchester City at Villa Park and match facts from the BBC

24 October 2025
  • Manchester City
  • Europa League
  • Go Ahead Eagles
Go Ahead Eagles are currently twelfth in the Eredivisie and I think it's fair to say that Thursday night was possibly the biggest match of their season and it's hard to play against sides that like. And it didn't play out as we would have hoped.

But w...

Is the beauty in the game coming back and Go Ahead Eagles tomorrow night

Is the beauty in the game coming back and Go Ahead Eagles tomorrow night

22 October 2025
  • Spurs
  • Europa League
  • Go Ahead Eagles
It's important not to get carried away or drink too much at the pub watching a couple of matches and then think you can stay away on a reclining chair at the cinema. And damn, here I am at the airport bar with a couple of hours to space before my fli...

Beating Spurs in London is nice, those two goals were better

Beating Spurs in London is nice, those two goals were better

20 October 2025
  • Spurs
  • Emiliano Buendia
  • Matty Cash
  • Lucas Digne
  • Unai Emery
  • Morgan Rogers
What a day yesterday was. Not just for the football. I woke up in the cinema about 90 minutes into the film. I think I must have fallen asleep very early in. Don't know if I snored or even how I woke up. I think it's entirely likely someone nudged me...

Spurs on Sunday, something on salary caps and match facts from the BBC

17 October 2025
  • Spurs
  • PSR
Time for copy and paste. You know what I'm going to write, so I'll just skip right past. But it's great that proper football is back and that's all I'm going to think about this afternoon. 

But before Spurs on Sunday, there was news this week about a ...

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...

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!
