A good read

I love that we are always on the front foot and attacking but also have the second best defensive record in the league. I think the top 6 is wide open this year and if we can keep our better players fit and add a couple of canny signings in January we might not be far away.

 Feels great to be a Villa fan again

Ninth in the table moving into the Christmas period, win just one of our games in hand and we go fourth.

Win both of our games in hand and we go second.
Would you bet against us ?

It isn't the oldest rivalry in league football. We played Wolves in our first ever league game, at the same time that Preston were playing Burnley.

I also like reading your post-match summaries Dave.........when we win. You’re very fair and expose our frailties when we lose. But always well written if apparently a tad rushed sometimes. Keep up the good work.

And neither of them are rivalries. Villa and Albion have been at it since way before the league was formed.
