[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.

Spot on mate! The last thing we need is Villa becoming the next success-buying club..glad that O'Neill believes in his youngsters, instead of trying to play Football Manager and splashing money around for some over rated "star".
Ahh..Joachim..along with Overmars and Kanchelskis, they were among the fastest players around those days...

Good result for Aston Villa against Ajax Amsterdam 2-1 in the UEFA Cup. Goals by Laursen and Barry.

OMG... Barry din moan now?

Great, Aston Villa leading 1-0 against Wigan, penalty converted by Barry. C'mon, hold on for the win.

Aston Villa win 4-0 against Wigan. This season seem to be a lot of big wins in EPL.

Great win! If we keep this momentum I do believe that Champions League is within reach...and as far as I can remember, this season is one of BPL's best ever, with lots of big wins, unpredictable results, over achiever teams making those expert pundits looks like amateur...I mean, who dares to predict the final league standing right now?

MUAHAHA, another win for AV! 3-2 against Blackburn. Now we move up to fourth, level on points with Arsenal and Hull.

Yeah! Come on you lads !

This is why you need more 4 or 5 more quality players. There's no way Villa can cope with 2 games a week in the long run with the amount of players they have.

I believe Mr. O'Neill gonna get shopping this coming January and nails some good signings, especially in defence 'cause I think Curtis Davies isn't a finished article yet...leggy and nervous at times, he reminds me of ex-Sheff Wednesday's Carlton Palmer...

Argh 2 losses in a row. Those points lost would have been really useful to keep up with the top 4.

Mr. O'Neill needs to fix this...and fast! Gotta keep the pace or end up losing ground...

Next match against Arsenal Hope we fare better against stronger teams.

Yeah, we always perform better against big teams..

Congrats to Aston Villa for doing something Utd did not manage last week

yea, u got that rite tonite!!!

eh?? u lurking in here edi ar???

but how can he missed the pnalty?

WOOHOO, great result against Arsenal.

Keep the powar going!

A deserved victory...we simply outclassed and outplayed them and the best of all, Curtis Davies at last proved he's worth it
