The Tilehurst End, SBN's Reading blog, posted part one of their Premier League previews. Kirsten answers questions about the Villa, and they've also got Ted from The Short Fuse on Arsenal, Graham from We Ain't Got No History talking about Chelsea, and Daniel from Royal Blue Mersey giving thoughts on Everton.

Per WhoScored. Potential for a hot start beckons.

The hits keep comin'!

Apparently Birmingham -a city of over one million people- is located in "suburban London." On behalf of Americans capable of reading a map, I'd like to offer my apologies.

The absolutely essential Twohundredpercent.net has been doing a wonderful "Match of the Past" series all summer long, and he's gone out with a bang, wrapping the series up with Aston Villa. This is a great way for younger fans (like myself) or fans who may have never even been to Birmingham (me again) to get in touch with the club's history and broaden their perspective when it comes to "what Aston Villa is."
