Unoial Villa News…
Well, what has happened? The last two games, polar opposite to the previous two…have Aston Villa finally broken through the negative tactics curse? Smiles on the faces of Villa fans walking out of Villa Park. That`s not usual is it? This is like a breath of fresh air at the moment. The win against Norwich City (amongst the bookies favourites to go up, along with us remember) was a fabulous result. Then last night we again dominated a game. Not only did we dominate but we again saw a glimpse of our future with plenty of young talent being used.

I`m not naming the ridiculous sponsors of the League Cup after their stupid idea to have the draw live in China… hence 4.15 am in the UK. I know it`s not ‘that` big a deal to many but it`s this slow erosion of all our traditions, thanks to the money men in football, that is taking the game further and further away from us fans.

Icelandic midfielder Birkir Bjarnason has said that Bodymoor Heath is buzzing following our comprehensive double victory.
Having taken a four two victory over Norwich City and then a four one League Cup victory over Wigan Athletic, spirits have certainly been raised after our poor start to the campaign – mainly the performances have done that trick with the scores just the cherry on top.
