Because if there can be a Wolverhampton thread, there can be one for Villa.
Where we make friends out of enemies!
Where a 35 year old goaltender is considered young!
Where we have Super Marc!
Up the Villa!

Albrighton - Bent - N'Zogbia
That is essentially what your teams success rides upon.

I quite like Villa, I usually wish them well.
However, it must be said, that thay have some of the worst singing I have ever heard at a football match. Its embarrassing

Literally that is the only song they have, and the only time you get to hear a chorus of it is after they score. Thats literally it, always makes me laugh.

Hopefully Shay Givens still the Shay Given of old....he could get us 10 points a season on his own....and i believe he'll be kept busy for us....our defence is ageing and with McLeishs sitting back style of football....its looking like Shay will be earning his wages unlike at Man City

If his preseason form is telling than I think you guys should be just fine.

I am interested in seeing how these young guys from their academy does. Albrighton came in last season and had a great year and Ciaran Clark has been showing promise. Barry Bannan has a bit of hype too so I wonder if he might get some first team play.

We should be....but we thought that last year and up until April time we were still struggling looking over our shoulders...I believe we could Finish 10-12th and be safe....
Its imperitive we get off to a good start in the league though, otherwise the Villa Lynch mob will be in force for Mcleish and that never brings anything good to either players or the manager...

Honestly, the X-factor in my mind is Stephen Ireland, who has looked very good in the preseason.
If he could even play decently...he'll feed Bent and N'Zog balls all day long.
Right now, it looks like this may be the starting XI if I remember correctly.
ST Bent
LW N'Zogbia
RW Albrighton
CM (Attack Oriented) Ireland
CM (Stabilizer) Makoun
CM (Defender) Petrov
LB Warnock
CB Dunne
CB Collins
RB Young
GK Given
With Gabby, Bannan, Gardner, Heskey (he's looked good in the preseason!), Clark, Delfouneso, Delph, Cuellar and Beye (I guess?) on the bench as options.

Bannan is meh. The guys I'm excited about are Gary Gardner and Fabian Delph. Delph has looked really good when he's been healthy, and Gardner has elite ability.
If they can help stabilize the CM, could be good tidings for Villa.

I feel better about this year than last year tbh. It was always a cluster after O'Neill walked out on us. Houllier was lousy, but I didn't expect us to finish outside midtable thanks to all of the instability.
This year, though...with some breaks, I think we could get back to Europa.

Those 7-12 spots are really tough to call. There are so many decent teams in the premier league. It is quite hard to seperate ourselves(Fulham), Villa, Everton, Sunderland, Newcastle, Stoke and Bolton.
