    Most underrated Villa Players

    For me -Paul Merson loved watching this guy play when he turned it on. His lobs of the keeper almost became his trademark -great range of passing - some great goals Yet barely gets a mention when great villa players are discussed. Any others.???

    Best Game / Moment under Emery

    For me it was his first game - and in particular the Luca Digne goal . I knew Gerrard was tosser - hated him as a player - and certainly didnt want him as villa manager - I knew the players were better than he suggested Emery had taken one or two training sessions before this match - and those...

    Sam Proctor - Heir to Martinez ???

    Signed his first pro deal with the club. Think we paid £100k for him when he was just 14 ! https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2023/december/21/sam-proctor-signs-professional-contract/

    The Omari Kellyman Thread

    Thought he was great tonight. Sure the opposition was of a low standard - but this guy is 17. Played some great balls around the box - seems to have excellent vision. Long way to go of course but turning in a performance like that at 17 is impressive.

    2023/4 Premier League build up

    Provided we don't lose Martinez I'd expect us to carry over November form onwards form I'd expect us to be around 6th & above. But of course no two seasons are the same. I can't believe Chelsea will be quite as poor again - Liverpool I expect to spend heavily (the coutinho money 🤣). Everton...

    Predict our net spend 2023 summer window

    Without anything from the club - lines of tinternet are saying villa will be heavy spenders this summer - pretty exciting. On the other hand we were tipped to spend big in Jan and didn't - and our net spending in recent windows has been a modest amount £20-30m - Maybe Or we could sell one of...

    7 years ago today - we will be back !

    Took this photo 7 years ago - as we were finally relegated from the PL - we had a terrible squad of players, no manager, and an owner who had totally lost interest. I was sure at point we would be back - but I didn't forsee us being a decent force in the prem and funded to the extent we are

    The push for Europe ?

    Other teams have games in hand ,- and Liverpool (who I fear the most tbh) have an easy run in - and historically finish strong even when they have had a poor season . Brighton keep winning but I fancy they will run out of steam and have to come to VP - last game of the season. Great though the...

    The Alex Moreno Thread

    Lots of places reporting this is nearly done. And he hasn't travelled with his current team for there latest games. £12m - 29 years old. Not the most exciting move imo. But maybe the panache will follow shortly. Premature Welcome Alex !

    Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers. Weds 4th January 20.00 hrs K.O

    Mcginn has pulled a hamstring - I would say he is unlikely for Wolves on Wednesday. Not heard anything about Luiz who also picked up a knock via spurs.
