Paul Lambert has said that we'll see a much better Villa over the coming weeks and next season, as long as we can get through this rocky spell. Easy to be sarcastic and point out the present is a bit more important than a potential future, but on this I do agree but only if these lads get a lift in belief. I just maintain he could've made this season far easier, whilst still having an eye on how some of these young lads will grow together in the future. Speaking to the Official Site Lambert repeated that we would take the positives from Everton and move on, because he believes we are a real threat up front, even if we remain sloppy at the back: Lambert Looks To The Future

Gary Gardner has told avfc.co.uk he can, at last, see the light at the end of the tunnel following his injury set back. The Villa midfielder says he is 'buzzing` now he is approaching fitness and says the experience of his last similar injury helped him through. 'The knee feels strong - stronger than ever. I feel so confident. Hopefully when I'm fully back at it, I can push on in my career. I am a young lad. I'm getting through it and I know I will be good to go in the future.'

villa-in-oz: Even as I am writing this, my mind is boggling as to what is happening at Aston Villa Football Club. I am so frustrated, the only way I can get rid of it is to write something down. So the questions is......where is Aston Villa headed. See: Where Are We Headed?

Villa Park has remained a very special sporting arena from the day the club moved here nearly 116 years ago. And from Sunday, this famous venue assumes even greater significance as it officially becomes a carbon-neutral stadium. The plan is to cut energy use, reduce waste and minimise greenhouse gas emissions in the stadium. See: www.avfc.co.uk
