Aston Villa Player Ratings, Newcastle at Home
Probably the biggest game of the season so far for Villa, with a hard run of games upcoming, good performances were needed all round. The boys in Claret and Blue did not disappoint and could’ve won by more than just the two goals they had to settle for at full time. The performance was greatly …

5 Forwards Villa Should try to Sign in January
Every Villa fan knows what money needs to be spent on in the January transfer window, and that’s a striker. There have been a lot of reports suggesting Villa’s interest in Ranger’s Alfredo Morelos and Hull’s Jarrod Bowen. I thought I’d look away from these two more obvious transfer targets and try and find other …

Aston Villa Player Ratings, Wolves Away
In what was a very uninspired performance from the Villa against Wolves, a number of usually consistent performers failed to turn up. The injuries of Heaton, Engels and Grealish before kick off clearly hurt the chances of a win. However, that doesn’t excuse the lacklustre performance by the Villa, that was more of a Sherwood …
The Most Overrated Players in the Premier League
Nicolas Otamendi If Otamendi wasn’t a Man City player, he wouldn’t be as highly thought of as he is. Simply put, he can’t defend.

The Referees ‘Boys Club’ needs to be broken up
Before the international break, a decision from Kevin Friend baffled football fans and pundits. He decided to book Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish for simulation in the box, despite the fact he didn’t appeal for a foul. On top of this, whilst falling he passed the ball to his fellow player who scored. Don’t worry though, …

Premier League 2019/20 Predictions
Now for the big one, my Premier League predictions. I will get everything badly wrong, but that’s expected. I’d at least like to think I can get 3 or 4 correct positions, however maybe that’s being overly ambitious, just like Wolves and West Ham fans. I’ll probably do better than Paul Merson, though someone picking …
Championship 2019/20 Predictions Part 2
Now for where it gets more exciting, the top half of the table. Again, I’ll probably get it horribly wrong, and Reading will storm the league and win it by 20 points, but I’ll try my best. 12th Blackburn Blackburn have added some Championship Journeymen in Stewart Downing and Bradley Johnson this transfer window, hardly …
