We know the media story, it's Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and Danny Ings all trying to do a favour for Liverpool at the Etihad. From a Aston Villa supporter point of view, it's can we finally beat City, since they're the only Super League Six team we haven't beaten in the past couple of seasons (plus, our recent record against City is shocking). Denying them the title would simply be a short...

On the afternoon that Villa Park celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Aston Villa lifting the European Cup, Villa's hopes of a top-half finish faded badly after a 1-1 draw with an impressive Crystal Palace team. Also, as well as the Villa news and Media Muppets we look at the government's call for an independent regulatory body for football, Newcastle United's dubious 3rd kit next season and ex-Vill...

Over the Easter period, Villa have slipped to 15th in the Premier League, leaving some supporters increasingly anxious about a potentially wasted season. “Continual progress” has been the mantra of the Villa board and Steven Gerrard made a point earlier in the year of reminding people he had taken Villa into the top 10, after they were 16th when he took over. His comment hasn’t aged well...

It was a bizarre late afternoon at Villa Park, when Aston Villa played some of their best football under Steven Gerrard, peppering an inspired Hugo Lloris, only to end up losing the match 4-0. Son Heung-min’s hat-trick did most of the damage, as Villa's team repeated the same short-comings that have been their downfall in recent months. Judging by his interviews and press conferences, Steven Gerra...

While Aston Villa haven't won for coming up to 17 years at St James' Park, they disappointedly showed little appetite at the weekend to rectify such a poor record. After spending millions on players in recent transfer windows, you'd expect the assembled team to be able to make 10-yard passes, not constantly over-hit crosses, not give the ball away like it's a hot potato and know what they're doing...
