It gets to me when he talks injuries but other than that I love the fact he is down to earth and honest. Looks genuine and thats hard to come by these days with managers. Just got to look at the likes of OGS and think how lucky we are.
Deano nominated for September's Manager of the Month Award.....clearly a good month for narrowing the 'cracks' that were apparently opening up in August....!! Not even the merest hint of a hairline crack at present. Dean Smith continues to do us proud and make even his greatest critics fall silent again for a while....until we dare to lose again! Should be in with a shout of winning it this month...but Arteta will probably clinch it for the terrific 1-0 victories over Norwich and Burnley!

Just thought the same about Arteta. Arsenal seem to have an army of fans always voting for them on twatter. They've won loads of goal of the months over the years with bang average efforts

Which is really pissing off his decorators

Well done Deano.
Nothing makes me happier than to see a Villa manager being rewarded for being successful.

You'll have to go a long way to beat the Southgate/Mount celebrity love affair
Thank God we stuck with Dean Smith. We advocates of Smith are not so supportive that we believe he is Mr. PERFECT but what an impressive few seasons. We are playing attractive football and the fitness levels are much improved.
Yes fitness levels are much improved compared to last season despite the disruptions we had with the friendlies etc. Kind of reminds me of the MON years, come flying out the traps and then blowing out their arses after 60 minutes. This year we seem to last the full 90+

He's done really well. I was concerned about this run of fixtures on paper and he has got us a good return from them. Even the Chelsea defeats were positive in terms of squad development.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Dean Smith era so far, long may it continue.
Spurs game is in October so that, combined with beating Wolves, Arsenal and West Ham will go towards him winning next month’s Manager of the month award as well….!

I wish I could find the twitter post I saw this morning, it was a list of the longest serving Aston Villa players currently in the squad. Here were the top 3,
Jed Steer 8 yrs
Anwar 4yrs
McGinn 3 yrs
After that you get into the likes of Mings, Konsa etc. who have only been here 2 to 2.5 yrs.

Easy to forget in the maelstrom of being in the greed league.
That's perspective right there.
Smith out.
