Charlie Pavey scores one and makes one on his full Stourbridge debut.

Gone is the effervescent, rarely wrong, and inspirational figure in black. Now Unai is cutting a dejected profile on the sideline, focusing on things he cannot fix, whilst hoping for a miracle to repair those he can. To underline the current travails, Emery was on the cusp of a rare 100th win as Villa boss; now he is on the cusp of a 50th defeat, with few expecting the former to come first. Time and circumstance have taken their toll.

Scapegoat? Problem? Taking a top job? Or just fed up with the lack of progress?

Double B puts in an excellent display as Falkirk hammer Kilmarnock, as Tommi has his own double delight with his pair of assists setting Crewe up for a late win. Rory makes his Swiss debut as Malen makes it six in seven, but OZ concedes four in a game, yet still has only sixteen goals against in 19 as he continues to impress between the sticks.

🟩 27 Feb 1994, Villa p3-1 Tranmere, Villa Park

Guessand again. Goals. Consecutive games. Thriving. At least Malen hasn't played yet. Meanwhile, Enzo is dumped out the Big Cup with Jose and Jama sees off Madge Ramsay's hilarious stint at Sandwell FC.

Villa draw antsy Lille once again What a reward after finishing second in the League stage. Meanwhile, Forest, who finished 13th, faces the might of Midtjylland. You couldn't make it up.

Yesterday, Barry Bannan, once of this manor but now forever aligned to Sheffield Wednesday, was subjected to boos from the “few fans left” in Birmingham’s 3-0 defeat at Millwall. It’s an odd approach on many levels, not least being Birmingham’s salivating hunger to recruit any player who has worn the claret

So impressive have his first six months with Villa been that Fletcher Boyd, having turned 18 in January, has already signed a new contract with the club.

Villa suffer a harsh, harsh defeat at the hands of a hugely fortunate Arsenal side as Richard Beale’s team, packed with inexperience, concede a first-half penalty after debutant Lennon Moss is adjudged to have fouled Arsenal’s Zecevic John, are reduced to ten before the hour mark as debutant Vincley Mudame is sent off for fouling the same player, Josh Blake equalises on his first start, but then Villa are robbed of a point in injury-time as Angelinou Pedro scores in the 93rd

Unai Emery is the first Villa boss in the Premier League era to break the 300-goal barrier

An hour and 45 minutes of Technicolour delight. It's pretty hard to believe it's 30 years ago next month, but celebrate Leeds coming to town on Saturday with the perfect Wembley display as Brian Little walked on water, and Howard Wilkinson's boys sank without a trace.

It's only really in the 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds of the FA Cup that All Premier League Ties become a thing. After that, you'll inevitably face strong opposition if you get there, that is, unless you're Manchester City. But it's the prevalence of Villa's draws against Premier League clubs in those early rounds that boggles the mind and sets conspiracy theories racing.

Seven goals conceded, seven defeats in nine... Villa's WSL season under Natalia Arroyo lurches from bad to worse, with four successive defeats, seventeen goals conceded, and six scored.

Villa beat leaders Chelsea in perhaps the biggest win of the season for the reigning Champions. Putting six past Arsenal was good, putting six past the Blues was fun, but scoring two in seven first-half minutes and limiting Chelsea to an injury-time consolation feels massive for Richard Beales' boys after a run of bad results.

Unai Emery is on the cusp of winning his 100th game as Villa boss, needing just one more win to hit the historic milestone and become one of only five managers to have achieved the feat and the first since….
