Blimey, news is thin on the ground. According to some, following the two friendlies, Villa are down and relegated already… gulp, I`d not realised! I hate friendlies! lol Anyway, the latest poll is a very simple one, it asks where will Villa finish this season? (thanks to all those who suggested it, we do this one each year though!)

Ross: Aston Villa`s European Cup winning captain Dennis Mortimer has stated his belief that current skipper Stiliyan Petrov should be relieved of his duty. The Villa legend also questioned his role in the team as a whole. As reported by the Express & Star, Mortimer said: ‘To be honest, I`ve never been a fan of Stiliyan Petrov – I think he is just a ‘Steady Eddie` as it were. I personally wouldn`t have him in the team. I don`t think he has the right capacity or the right style that I would want him in my team. At the top level, you need someone who is a bit more than a ‘Steady Eddie` and especially as your captain. To me you need to generate momentum in games by the quickness of play and of mind and, for me, Petrov takes half an hour to pass the ball.’ Full article: Is Stan Still The Man To Lead Villa?
