Imagine the cost of some of those players now? Hard to leave Dennis Mortimer out of this (and how he was ever left out of the England squad will always be a mystery) but have to say, not a bad team at all there!
Said all along, in response to some fans ‘he`s s***` stuff, that if you get him the ball, he`ll bury it. First of many more hopefully:
Aston Villa owner Dr Tony Xia has rubbished the speculation linking on loan Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone with a January switch to West Bromwich Albion.
Reports emerged over the festive period that West Brom were interested in the player and reports stated that they would be in discussions with United about recalling him so they could sign him on a permanent basis. Read more: Johnstone’s Going Nowhere – Xia
Excited to see Andre back, I think he could be an absolute superstar. Hopefully his bad luck with injury is now behind him.

Time for the special computer that crunches the numbers to determine the final Championship positions for the season of 2017/18. Last season the Octopus feature was a late arrival for the Championship – it was off having its tentacles given a Brazilian for all I know. Then again I still don’t know why I call a number crunching supercomputer an Octopus but some things are probably best left unasked. In any event here are the updated Championship predictions for the season of 2017/18 after all sides have played 26 games of the campaign. Read more: More Reliable Than A Championship Octopus?

Very sad news today that one of our 1961 League Cup winners, Alan Deakin, has died…

Crisis? What crisis? ‘We`re only a week away from a crisis at Aston Villa. Everything is a crisis if we don`t win.’ So proclaimed Steve Bruce (not for the first time) after our abysmal performance on Boxing Day at Brentford. To be fair to Steve, he qualified those remarks but suggesting the fans were within their rights to complain about poor performances. ‘That`s why we`re a big club with a big history and big tradition. We`ve got a loyal support and they rightly vented their frustrations and feelings tonight. If I`d made the journey down here tonight on a horrible night I think I`d have done the same – well, I have done the same.’ Read more: Aston Villa Crisis? What Crisis?
