EPL 14/03/2015 : Sunderland 0-4 Aston Villa What a superb performance and result. Sadly, I was watching Rangers' match (but switched over to see the goals replays) and saw the highlights at full time. This win lifts AVFC to 16th in the EPL, level on points with Hull City and Everton and 6 points clear of the bottom three. Of equal importance is the goal difference, now -19, which is better than that of the four teams below AVFC.

EPL 21/03/2015 : Aston Villa 0-1 Swansea City A disappointing result from an open game in which AVFC had plenty of chances, but all of which were wide, high, blocked or saved. I cannot fault the effort, although I can fault the efforts ... because none of them went in. Unlike the previous defeats I have seen this Season under Paul Lambert, I am not despondent about this result under Tim Sherwood, as the team now has attacking intent and on another day would have banged in ... say, four ... Oh, wait ! AVFC stays at 16th in the EPL after this match.

EPL 07/04/2015 : Aston Villa 3-3 Queens Park Rangers Go behind, get ahead, lose the lead, go behind again, get level ... a roller-coaster match, but I think our problems lie with ourselves, not the opposition ... misplaced passes and lack of awareness of the off-the ball movements of team-mates especially. Watching the match from Upper Trinity, it reminded me of the EMail notification I received the other week, but instead of Rangers' Enemies List, read Aston Villa's Enemies List : the Aston Villa first-team squad !!! Nevertheless, it was good to see Benteke get a hat-trick, let us have more of that in the games to come. Both sides move up a place in the EPL, AVFC to 16th.
