Great Effort

The boys played a good game on Saturday. It was just so disappointing to give up those 2 goals to allow a draw in the end. I am definitely grateful for the 1 point, but we need a couple of wins to give us a chance (and some help from those just ahead and behind us in the table.

Christian Benteke has been the best thing that happened this season. I hope that we can hang on to him for as long as possible.

1-1 draw with Everton

It was nice to see Bent get back in the scoring mode. It's been awhile. Congratulations to Shay Given - first game coming back after injury and he made a magnificent save against a header from....Stephen Warnock, his TEAMMATE. That was scary!

Villa was fortunate to get through the first-half nil-nil. The lads were playing uninspired football. Second half brought more energy and resulted in the Bent goal. Then we shifted into "let's try not to lose" mode and we give up the equalizer.

Let's take the point and move on. (...I'm not a Donovan fan, but it would have been nice to have someone with his skill level on loan to Villa from the MLS)

Villa Draws with Everton 2-2

Our Villa lads battled to a 2-2 draw with Everton yesterday with a fortunate Phil Jagielka own goal to help Villa find the equilizer in 2nd half stoppage time. Despite earning a result, we really needed 3 points to stay in the chase for 4th place and Champions League qualification. Catching Man City or the Spurs will be difficult, but leaping ahead of Liverpool into 6th would be great.

As of today, the top half of the league standings look like this:

1. Chelsea (Played 34 Pts 77) - playing Spurs next (GO CHELSEA!)
2. Manchester United (34, 73) - playing Man City next (GO UNITED!)
3. Arsenal (34, 71) - playing Wigan Athletic next (GO WIGAN!)
4. Manchester City (33, 62) - playing Man Utd next (GO UNITED!)
5. Tottenham Hotspur (33, 61) - playing Chelsea next (GO CHELSEA!)
6. Liverpool (34, 56)
7. ASTON VILLA (33,55) - playing Portsmouth next (C'MON YOU VILLA)
8. Everton (34,51) - playing Blackburn next
9. Birmingham (34, 46)
10. Stoke City (33, 43)

How Did You Become a Villa Supporter?

"I wonder how many fans are actually originally from Birmingham or surrounding area. I am and I'm always interested if someone isn't from near Villa Park, why did they pick Villa as the team to follow." .............................................................................................. "I like Rick's story, he picked Villa as they were 'sponsored' by Acorns Children's Hospice at the time, a cause close to Rick's heart."..................................................................................................................... "I was born in Solihull (12 miles south of Villa Park) and my older bro turned me into a Villa supporter"................................................................................................................ "I am originally from Vauxhall (Birmingham B7) and have followed the Villa since my dad took me to see a game at Villa Park on my 4th birthday. I was a season ticket holder at VP from 1968 until I moved over here twelve years ago."........................................................................................................................"I am from Halesowen which is right next to the black country. Which is tesco carrier bag territory. However my dad is from the city and he always took me and my brother to villa games. I was a season ticket holder in the holte untill 2007 when I moved out here."......................................................................................................................."So why do I support Villa if I've never been to Birmingham? That's a very good question that I've asked myself many times over the years. When I started following the league almost everyone was a Liverpool fan for the same reason almost everyone now is a United, City, or Chelsea fan. Not being someone who follows the crowd I wanted to support a team that was unique and different. When I was a kid, Andy Gray was one of my favorite players and I used to read his columns in Shoot magazine about playing for Villa and thought a lot of the things about the team were unique: the team name, colors, and specially the history."..................................................................................................................."Born just a couple of miles from Villa park, with my father, mother, grandparents and more than half of my extended family with claret and blue blood (you can work out who the rest of that motley crew supported SOTC) it was written in the stars that I was going to be Villa through and through."...................................................................................................................I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. Played the game for 30 some odd years and have been a Villa fan all my life. I have seen 2 live games(both losses, but a great atmosphere none the less). My grandfather was a steward at Villa Park for many years. My father and brother are members of the Canadian Villa fan club in Toronto. I'm here in the central valley, and know of couple of villa fans here in Fresno................................................................................................................
