Bohemians defeat and Spurs join Milner Race.

Bohemians defeat and Spurs join Milner Race.

Villa lost there second pre-season game in three yesterday when they went down to Irish champions Bohemians 2-1.

A game that sore well over 700 Villa fans turn up for the fixture, sore them leave disappointed with many stating that a certain James Milner needs to go and be replaced as soon as possible.

The home side took the lead despite Villa missing a host of chances when Brad Friedel miscued his clearance which then fell kindly for Conor Powell who then lobbed the Villa keeper.

Villa were back on level terms with 21 minutes left on the clock when man of the match Marc Albrighton sent over a fantastic ball witch met big John Carews head who steered the ball into the back of the net.

Bohemians were to have the last laugh though when they scored late on witch was enough to beat Villa. Enzo and Maddan combined beautifully to unlock the Villa defence before Enzo slotted past Brad Friedel.

Although this is a nothing game, It is a game we have to be winning especially against a side who got hammered last week to TNS and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

‘Arry joins the Milner Race

Harry Redknapp has joined the race to sign James Milner and this could be just what Villa need to force the price up to around £30million as MON as stated he wants.

City looked like they wasn’t going to budge on there £24million offer but now with competition they will have to if they want to get there man.

Just like the Barry saga last summer, I just wish we could get this sorted and get it over and done with so we can move on.

Transfer Deadline – Tick Tock Martin..

Transfer Deadline – Tick Tock Martin..

The transfer deadline slams shut at 5pm today and Martin O’Neill and Aston Villa are yet to do any business, but is this such a massive issue?

Ok, i hear you, we all want a 20 goal a season striker and possibly a new midfielder but lets be honest its not like we are short of scoring a few goals is it really? And we have the best defence in the league.

With the only movement this month being Craig Gardners move to the Circus down the round, there hasnt been much more.

Myself i would be keeping an eye on Habib Beyes possible move to Sunderland, and then seeing how quick this deal gets done today. I believe if it’s done early – then we could very well see someone moving to Villa Park.

Martin O’Neill would only sell a player he brought 6 months ago if he wanted to bring somebody else in.

Robbie Keane is a possible name but would Harry Redknapp let him leave for a rival? I don’t think so. Will be very interesting to see.

Tick Tock Martin..
