Aston Villa F.C.

Aston Villa, a club steeped in tradition and a huge club in context with the British game. Villa, basically down to poor management and an unambitious board in the past have not actually won a major trophy for a very, very long time. The team play at Villa Park in the city of Birmingham and are naturally bitter rivals with the blue half of the city, although they are currently in different divisions so will not clash this season. Villa Park is one of the biggest and best stadiums in the country and is regularly chosen to host FA Cup semi-finals due to its quality and proximity in the mainland. The current Aston Villa team is managed by ...  Read the complete review

Aston Villa is one of the oldest established football clubs in the UK and they have a somewhat friendly rivalry with the city's other football club 'Birmingham City'. I have followed this club my entire life through good and bad (mostly bad mind) and have always been a season ticket holder. I don't know how you can review a football team as most people view their time with rose tinted glasses and well the football results table speaks for itself entirely.

“Aston Villa have completed a £6.5m deal for Celtic midfielder Stilian Petrov. The 27-year-old Bulgaria captain has signed a four-year contract and is boss Martin O'Neill's first signing since taking over at Villa Park.” And so I pinched myself following a whirlwind few weeks where the shackles of the relentless Doug Ellis had finally been broken and the club was now owned by one Randy Lerner, the owner of the Cleveland Browns and billionaire from the US. Better still, the redoubtable Irishman, Martin O’Neill was now the manager having taken over from the hapless David O’Leary.
