It's official, Finley Munroe is the latest academy graduate (albeit signed from Chelsea), has left Villa permanently to join Championship side Middlesbrough.

15th January, On This Day, featuring controversy at Wolves, Dugdale, McParland, Tommy Johnson, Chester, Makoun, Patten, Digne, Coutinho, Everton, Manchester United and Bidace.

Villa play at home for the first time in six, and are on an eight-game winning run at Villa Park and are unbeaten since 1906 or something like that.

Reigning Champions, Villa's u18s were beaten this afternoon in their game at Tottenham's Hotspur Way training ground. Going into their first game since the winter break, joint second in the table, Richard Beale's boys fall to 5th in the table after conceding an 83rd-minute winner.

Exactly a year to the day since his signing, Donyell Malen leaves Villa, joining AS Roma on loan with an obligation to buy set at €25m (subject to conditions).

This weekend’s game against Everton is set to be Morgan Rogers’ 100th appearance for Villa. It will undoubtedly be a milestone, but earlier this season, doubts arose for some, prompting thoughts about a potential attempt to bring back an old player to Villa. So what's it to be? Rogers or Grealish?

Villa's u21 central midfielder Kane Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has returned to the North West to join League Two side Oldham Athletic on loan for the remainder of the season.

Natalia Arroyo's reshaping of Villa's WSL squad continues as Oriane Jean-François follows Jenna Nighswonger through the doors at Villa Park.

So it's Newcastle United at home in the 4th Round of the 2025-26 FA Cup. If any tie has had an impact on the ultimate destination of the FA Cup, it is this one. Villa and Newcastle have met one another six times in the FA Cup (excluding replays). On five of the six occasions the two teams have met in the competition, one or the other of Villa or Newcastle has gone on to win the FA Cup. Villa's double winning squad of 1896-97 having beaten Newcastle in the FA Cup First Round.

Villa's most expensive teenage signing at €12m, Brian Madjo, has already made headlines, but his precocious talent and huge physique make his ascent to the first team completely unpredictable.

The u18s face Spurs in the u18 Premier League on Wednesday before the u21s travel to Derby in PL2 on Friday. With no Saturday game, it's Villa Everton at VP as we try to close the gap on leaders Arsenal, but there's a tough fixture in the WSL away to Arsenal.

Villa's u21 right back Ashton McWilliams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 has joined National League side Morecambe on loan for the remainder of the season.

Of course, we all know that Manchester City will draw a home tie against the lowest-ranking team in the competition... but is the FA Cup draw really as biased against Villa as many of us think? The FA Cup fourth round proper draw will be made on Monday 12 January 2026. Some facts and a completely unscientific prediction.

Villa leapfrogged Brighton into 6th place in the WSL after coming from behind to an 11th-minute goal from the visitors to score two goals in two second-half minutes.

Through! And Spurs' thug fest comes to nought.

Zépiqueno Redmond 🇳🇱 misses his 21st game for Huddersfield due to a foot injury.
