Champions League qualification or win the FA Cup? That was the discussion for many Villa supporters in the build-up to this evening’s game against Tottenham Hotspurs. Villa have not won England’s most prestigious domestic trophy since 1957 and most Villa fans would love to see us do it again.

Either way, it was a great opportunity for both clubs to win a…

I say shock but I don’t think I was shocked by the result or the performance. For some reason, Wolves seem to have Villa’s card marked when they go to Molineux. Both their fans and their players raise their game when Villa come to town. Unai Emery’s side have failed to win at Molineux since 2020 and with our record following Champions League games this season, it was always likely to be a very difficult task. Report: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Aston Villa Villa’s defensive crisis was clear to see when the teamsheet was released yesterday. Matty Cash and Tyrone Mings…

It was the game everyone was talking about. Scottish Champions Celtic heading to Birmingham in their numbers in the battle of Britain tie in the Champions League. It would be the first time the two clubs had met comparatively in their history. The stage was set, and Villa Park was packed to the rafters in all its glory. It was simple – a win for Villa would give them a great opportunity for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. Anything else would mean a knock-out game similar to that of Celtic!
