It is no secret that the Premier League believe they have the best product in modern-day football. At the same time, UEFA would argue that they do so with their European competitions, particularly the Champions League. The problem is, I am starting to wonder if the Premier League’s stubbornness is having a knock-on effect on their product. We went into yesterday’s fixture with Manchester United having played Bayern Munich on Wednesday night and the visitors played Porto in Portugal on Thursday. I felt the time frame for both clubs was fair (Yes I know we had one extra day but…

It was the stand-out game when the Champions League draw occurred – a repeat of the 1982 European Cup Final, Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich. As the game got closer, the excitement rose amongst Villa fans. Pubs were packed by 5 pm and although most jokingly predicted a win, most would have accepted not being on the end of a big defeat. You don’t need me to tell you that Bayern are one of Europe’s elite. They have won the competition 6 times and went into the game undefeated. I like thousands of others chose to go to the ground…

A lot has been made about how big the week is for Aston Villa. A trip to newly promoted Ipswich Town, followed by the first Champions League match at Villa Park since 1983, finished with a visit from Manchester United. Sounds congested right? Well no. This is what we all wanted. Villa wanted to join the big boy’s party again, meaning we needed to learn to juggle various games in a short period. We managed it in a lesser competition last year, now we have a completely new challenge. Anyway, enough of that. Back to focus. Yesterday’s opponents were Ipswich…

Join Nick and Elliot as they look back at four wins in the last four games following their absence last week. A trip to Switzerland … an incorrect train ticket, but most importantly – three points in the Champions League against Young Boys Bern to kick off a run that included victories over Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Wycombe Wanderers. Ipswich Town and Bayern Munich become the fresh focuses ahead of the coming week and success across all competitions is discussed and debated. Also … how close is Unai Emery to greatness and where does he rank in your lifetime as…

It has been a very up-and-down week for Aston Villa. Yesterday’s victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers rounded off a week, during which Villa won all three of their games, including their long-awaited return to the Champions League. We also said goodbye to a Villa legend, Gary Shaw, who sadly died on Monday following a fall. RIP Gary. Thoughts go to his family and friends. Villa welcomed Wolves to Villa Park hoping to continue their good start to the season. Wolves have failed to win a game so far this season in the Premier League and let’s be honest, they turn into…
