Nick Name:
Villans
Coach:
Martin O'Neill
Home Ground:
Villa Park, Birmingham
Martin O'Neill's "Villans" had a fair run in the Premier League last season finishing 6th behind Everton. With a good last season the team will strive for better football display and more consistent winning. With a strong outfit at Martin O'Neill's disposal he must use all his football genius to the best use and get the team ready for stronger and quality opposition from the clubs in the league. The Villa fans are expected to feel their team's success going into the new season with lads who can win them some silverware, and if any such plans are in the diaries of O'Neill, then the following season will see a renewed Aston Villa. With the Birmingham club boost of energetic players like Curtis Davies, Ashley Young and Gareth Barry - who will want the following season to work in their favour – we can expect the club to give more than just their best shot at winning any title.
