Written by : @ConorCulver Villa away and a chance to go third – after a 5-0 home drubbing in Week One, who would have thought it? Monday night’s game provides us with an excellent chance to go third and also a chance to put some of last season’s demons to bed. Some of our worst…

Written by : @JGriffithJourno Our last three games weren’t too bad, were they? A point away at ‘bogey team’ Brighton followed by back to back wins against Watford and Norwich leave us sitting 5th in the league; I know I can’t be the only one with vertigo at the moment! Our next three games are…

Written by : @JGriffithJourno Sebastien Haller is brilliant, isn’t he? He may have only made two appearances so far but £45 Million is already looking like a real coup. Here’s just a few reasons why Haller is the real deal. In terms of his playing style, Haller is an unorthodox target man. While his size,…

Written by : Craig Podevin Still looking for our first win on game week three, we travel to Vicarage Road where we ended last season with Mark Noble scoring a great solo effort. We got a draw against our bogey team Brighton so I’m really hoping we can get 3 points on the board and…

Written by : @JGriffithJourno I happened to be working all day on Saturday, but I made sure I had two hours off in-between in order to watch us play Brighton. I am now wishing I had stayed at work; it would have been much more fun! It was a rather hollow performance from the Hammers…

Written by : @ConorCulver Left back is often one of the most overlooked positions in football but arguably one of the most important. They have to deal with tricky right-wingers who are often some of the world’s best players. We need to upgrade in that position, and we should have done so over the summer….

Written by : @levylife They say three things are certain in life. Death, taxes and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City ripping West Ham to shreds every single year. The triumvirate of the unavoidable; always looming and seemingly impossible to steer clear of. One could point the finger at West Ham’s tactical approach as the root cause…

Written by : @JGriffithJourno 5-0 versus Manchester City may not have been the ideal start, but let’s look forward. We have three very exciting fixtures coming up, so we need to put that pre-season friendly behind us and preview our next three matches. Positivity is key and it surely can’t get any worse, right? Brighton…

Written by : @ciaran_judge The transfer window has closed, and even though we’ve brought a number of promising players into the squad, the jury is still out on whether or not we’ve done enough to strengthen our defence. In particular, Manuel Pellegrini has identified the need for another centre half to bolster our squad. In…

Written by : @samizgould    It’s been a real pleasure in pre-season to see Manuel Lanzini starting to get back in full flight. Last year’s injury while with the Argentina national squad denied fans the opportunity to see what he can do in an attacking system designed for players like him. We knew that when…

Written by : @samizgould  The news of Arthur Masuaku receiving a new five-year contract till 2024 with a possible two-year extension took fans massively by surprise. The new contract makes him equal second for longest contract at the club with a pretty select group including Declan Rice, Pablo Fornals and Sebastien Haller, with only Grady…
