Villa Limping Out of the Season with Barely a Whisper

Sat, 11 May 2024 21:19:05 GMT

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... just a few weeks after resounding victories against Arsenal and Bournemouth, Aston Villa find themselves booted from Europe and nervously looking over their shoulder at an equally inept Tottenham side.

Today we go over how we feel about the European Run and what Villa needs to do to get over the line in a Champions League place. Cold Water and a demand moreso to just be nice to each other close us out. Up the Villa.

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:35:21 GMT

A frustrating day vs. Chelsea sees Aston Villa earn what still may turn out to be a valuable point as they zig zag their way to 4th place and a Champions League place. Where did Emery go wrong?

Villa had arguably their biggest result of the season, with a well-earned 2-0 victory over Arsenal.

Survive and Advance

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 13:25:03 GMT

AVFC were able to prevail over a very talented and, frankly, unlucky LOSC Lille side in the UEFA Conference League. With other EPL sides falling around them and every game now becoming must-win in our Champions League quest, we'll look into what this means for how Villa will approach their upcoming fixtures at Arsenal and in France as they try to build some final momentum for the stretch run on two fronts.
