This is my second review of the candidates for the vacant Aston Villa job. Today the spotlight is on Paul Lambert a success story which has gone unnoticed quite a bit. Lambert who currently manages Norwich City has built a successful team…
Today saw the media surrounding Aston Villa's management search take shape. It has been a big surprise for many particularly the fact that the man being interviewed has only been in management for about 4 years. And this surprise turned o…
After reading cathing fire I have come to the conclusion that trilogy books that set out to be a trilogy are often a little slow. Catching Fire is no exception and I was feeling a little unsure of how it panned out. By all means Catching …
So after only 11 months Alex Mcleish was relieved of his duties after guiding Aston Villa to a lowly 16th place finish and narrowly avoided relegation by 2 points. However was Mcleish unfairly dismissed. Football is a very fickle sport and …
Now I don't want to make any hasty decisions as the premiere league season still has one game to go. First off I would like Mcleish to stay as he is a good manager. Sacking Mcleish will cost Villa more in paying him off, that means less mon…
Another good result for Villa who have now recorded their 17th draw of the season, but will finish with the lowly tally of just 4 wins at home this campaign. A deserved draw as Tottenham dominated throughout. Villa have showed promise this …
So England have signed a new manager. The new manager is English, which is promising. He has a decent managerial career where he's been dubbed Mr Average. He's managed clubs like Milan, Fulham, Liverpool and most recently West Bromwich Albi…
So today will be a big day as I will be playing some football. My 2nd lecture group who lost 6-2 to the first year lecture group will replay today at around 1400. This match will silence us if we do not win, but If we do win then we will be…
Whoever wins tonights crunch encounter between a heavy weight and a middle weight will not only be one step closer to premier league championship, but will be king of Manchester. Tonight will see the heavy weight and 20th title chasing Man…
Aston villa took one step closer to premier league survival yesterday with a deserved draw away to West Brom. The match was a dogged draw awash with several shouts for a penalty for either side, but neither got there wish. Villa were a di…
Mike Tindall of Gloucester rugby team will be leaving at the end of the current campaign. Who knows why his contract is not going to be extended. Maybe his antics for England last summer and the revelations surrounding his personal life hav…
The Aston villa manager vows to fight on despite suffering another defeat at home. However despite this Mcleish has come out fighting stating his intention is not to leave the job unfinished and to see it to the end. Aston Villa are now 3 p…
Today's modern game of football doesn't get many players standing up to take the blame. But Stephen Warnock of Aston Villa came forward to blame himself and his team mates. With Warnock coming out and defending Mcleish and blaming the pla…
Fernando Torres scored in the dying minutes to send Barcelona out and Chelsea through. Last nights second leg champions league semi final turned into one of the most dramatic in champions league history. It wasn't an easy victory for Chel…
So Villa lose at home yet again after another poor performance. The match was all even for the most part and it wasn't until the 63 rd minute that Villa opened the scoring via a Warnock goal. Bolton however quickly equalised with a Petrov p…
Tonight's champions league semi-final second leg match between Barcelona and Chelsea is set to be one of the most unlikely games that I would have thought possible. Just a few months ago Chelsea sacked Boas and gave Di Matteo the reigns o…
So tonight sees AstonVilla take on Bolton at Villa Park. This will be a make or break match for both sides and both need a win. First off Villa have certainly had a slow drab season. 7 wins, 15 draws and 12 defeats shows why they linger j…

This weekend saw Wolves become the first team to be relegated from the premier league. For the teams above them the fight to survive is hotting up. The biggest of the teams facing relegation is Aston Villa. Villa have been one of only a han…
The first casualty to this seasons premier league will send a message to the five teams above them that the fight to survive is not over. Wolves became the first to depart from the premier league after 3 seasons in the top flight. Their 2-0…
The Hunger Games The first in a trilogy of books. The first book was certainly something that only caught my eye because of the film. Before then I was unimpressed, however I have been left pleased with how this book turned out. The Hunge…
