Have you been watching Heroes too much?
TS, update your first post and make this thread the official thread for all Aston Villa fans.

Great to see there are more thread for BPL club.

Wonder where is TS? Thought he is going to do something with this thread...

If you need infos, look for yourself (wiki or the official web)..as far as i'm concern, only armchair fans and gloryhunters need them (to brag how die hard they are). The true supporters concentrate more on the on pitch performance...

manchester ...............

Even though the current crop is performing well, I still believe that we need a bigger squad to sustain our challenge. Another one or two new players in the next transfer window will certainly helps, Mr. O' Neill...and I see us beating the Pompey this week...

David Platt is still my best Villa player. His winner against Belgium in World Cup 1990 is astonishing.

I remembered when he became the world's most expensive player (in aggregate transfer) when he moved from Bari to Juve and Sampdoria...one of the best England players of his generation

yup. I think he is the only English player successfully made his name in Italy too. A lot of British players failed in Serie A.

I think should put at least the minimum info on the club, for neutral people or anybody looking into this thread.

Yep, we need a good result against Pompey to keep up the pace.

congrats to you villains!
good to see more EPL threads here

you've got two gems in agbonlahor and young, that's fo rsure

wow...he really great...even ian rush failed in seria a...

aiyer was hoping carew would hit some goals in the back of the net

i remember when i live near by aston park in 1996 to 1998, all my fren persuade me to became villa supporter well at that time the player i remember are ugo ehiogu,gareth southgate,lee hendrie and dwight yorke, i even met them while playing footbol with my pakistani frens...ahh those glory days

Goal-less draw with Pompey, better than losing, but losing pace to the leaders.

Hull City still doing well.

Aston Villa Football Club aka The Villans was established back in 1874. A the founding member of The Football League in 1888, Villa is one of the original so-called "The Big Five" of the English League along with Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton. Unknown to many, Aston Villa is the fourth most successful club in England having won a European Cup (81-82) as well as 7 First division titles, 7 FA Cup and 5 League Cup. They play their home game at Villa Park in Aston,Birmingham. Another interesting fact is that the club have provided the most England internationals, 66 to date, more than other clubs. Among the legends of the clarets and sky blue was Danny Blanchflower, Dennis Mortimer, Peter Withe,David Platt, Paul McGrath and Gareth Southgate while Gareth Barry, Agbonlahor and Young continues to impress in the present.

Great stuff, dude. Why not update this and any other important info into your first post? Easy for people to reference.

aston villa record in europe is better than chelsea n arsenal...haha...they won europe cup(now ucl) twice...

Wow the memories...

Villa was actually the first team that caught my eye when I started watching football in 98/99... One match that I remembered was the one where Villa won 3-2 vs Arsenal, where Dennis Bergkamp made a return from injury and immediately scored 2 goals. Well I ended up supporting Arsenal instead

Dion Dublin and Joachim were the ones to watch back then hehe... Angel as well, feisty striker but ended up nowhere now. and then Villa became a mediocre team up till recent seasons when they got a new sugar daddy and later O'Neil took over. Kudos to Villa's new owner, who didn't go out and muck up the market like Roman and Man City's Arab dudes did. Gabby and Young will probably be the new stars in the future, but you guys will have to watch out for bigger, richer teams coming to poach.

Keep it up guys, show the rich money-splashing clubs how to run a football club.
