But in the space of 15 second-half minutes - thanks to some comical defending - Arsenal scored three unanswered goals to win the game 3-2 and dump Villa... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001168.htm I was very pleased with the 3-2 win against Wolves last Saturday afternoon. Villa were 2-1 down at half-time, but they fought back in the second-half - thanks in part to Wolves having a man sent off - to grab... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001167.htm Villa drew 1-1 with Everton on Saturday afternoon, but they really should have beaten them. Villa have won just three home games out of ten this season. If they had lost to Everton it would have been the first time... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001166.htm Villa beat Bristol Rovers 3-1 on Saturday evening to progress into the fourth round of the FA Cup where they will face a difficult game against Arsenal away. Before that, though, they have a couple of must win Premier League... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001165.htm I watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo at the cinema on Friday evening and thought it was excellent. It was graphic in places, but not overly so. The whole cast was great, but Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander was... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001164.htm I didn't get time over the holidays to redesign my site, but it's definitely one of the (many) things on my list of things to do this year, so I'm going to set aside some time in the near future... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001163.htm I'm disappointed with Villa today. After ending 2011 with a fantastic win away at Chelsea they started 2012 with a 2-0 loss at home to Swansea this afternoon. Admittedly, both of Swansea's goals were gifted to them by defensive mistakes,... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001162.htm Well, much to my delight (and surprise) after what I wrote a couple of days ago, Villa did end 2011 with three points against Chelsea. They won 3-1 at Stamford Bridge yesterday afternoon, and it was thoroughly deserved, too. I'm... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001161.htm Happy New Year!... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001160.htm I went to see Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol on Wednesday evening and enjoyed every minute even though it was a little far-fetched at times. The stunt work was awesome - especially the scenes involving the Burj Khalifa tower in... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001159.htm I wasn't expecting Villa to get even a point at Stoke on Boxing Day, so I was very pleased with the 0-0 draw. It doesn't feel right being pleased with a draw at Stoke, though - Villa have taken a... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001158.htm Merry Christmas!... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001157.htm It's nearly Christmas again - my favourite time of year bar none. I hope you like the festive decorations I put up last week? I must get going shortly, but I've just got time to wish you a lovely Christmas... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001156.htm I watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows last night and thought it was excellent. I have seen a fair number of movies this year and this is definitely one of the best. It's just as good as the first... http://www.gaznet.com/archives/001155.htm Much better performance from Villa tonight. They lost 2-1, but the effort and work-rate was excellent. It's just a shame they conceded yet another set-piece goal and so late in the game. I thought the minimum they deserved tonight was...
