		<title>Aston Villa avoid winner-takes-all match at Wigan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aston Villa fans have been looking at the Premier League fixture list with trepidation over the last month, with the prospect of travelling to take on Wigan in a winner-takes-all clash at the DW Stadium on the last day of the campaign an ominous prospect. The Latics have become renowned as being relegation escapees over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aston Villa v Southampton preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In years gone by, a visit by the 17th place team would be an automatic 3 points for Aston Villa, and a chance to close the gap between themselves and a European spot. Not any more, not by a long shot. The Villa project under Lambert is admirable for it&#8217;s courage and long-term vision, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Villa v Norwich preview: Will the players actually try to win this time?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[5 points from 8 games is a damning statistic for any manager. Projected over the course of the season, that&#8217;s less than 25 points. It&#8217;s relegation form, plain and simple, and Villa are stuck in a rut because of it. Of course, you can point to a multitude of factors &#8211; but as footballers themselves [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aston Villa 2012-13 season preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aston Villa fans were forced to endure a frustrating and at times relegation-threatened campaign in 2011-12, but the club maintained their Premier League status and are in the process of rebuilding for a more productive 2012-13. Alex McLeish has been shown the door after failing to win over the Villa Park faithful, with energetic and [...]]]></description>

		<title>New season, new hope for Aston Villa fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To say the last couple of seasons have been miserable ones for Aston Villa and their fans would be putting it mildly as, beginning with then-manager Martin O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s decision to resign days before the 2010/11 season began, the club has fallen from challenging for Europe and honours, to fighting simply to stay in the league.

		<title>What does 2012-13 have in store for Aston Villa?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To say that 2011-12 was a blow-par season for Aston Villa is something of an understatement. The Midlands club avoided the relegation places by two points, struggled to score goals (despite Agbonlahor&#8217;s fancy new soccer cleats), and with the lowly total of seven wins all season, the Villa Park faithful suffered at the hands of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Advanced Look Ahead to Reebok Road Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Villa face a Bolton side this weekend who have the worst home record in the Premier League having won just 1 and lost 6 of their opening 7 games at the Reebok. Despite this, Bolton&#8217;s home advantage makes them slight favourites according to SkyBet and Betfair football, with a draw unsurprisingly the longest odds with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Villa Preview vs Tottenham: Van der Vaart Fitness the Key</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Villa face Tottenham having not beaten Spurs in their previous 5 encounters, with Redknapp&#8217;s side doing the double last season in strangely similar fashion. Both games ended 2-1 and while Marc Albrighton scored in each game for Villa, Rafael van der Vaart netted all four of Tottenham&#8217;s goals past Brad Friedel, now a teammate of [...]]]></description>

		<title>McLeish’s Villans ready for Spurs, Swansea and Man United</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aston Villa will be primed to re-launch their flailing Premier League campaign this season after the international break starting with Tottenham Hotspur, then facing Swansea City and finally coming up against Manchester United in a busy few weeks for the midlands club. With just two wins in their last 10 games (wins against Wigan and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Could Jermaine Signing be a Stroke of Jenas?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aston Villa have 12 points after 10 games, the exact same tally as last season, and despite sitting 9th, could be in a dangerous position were they to lose, or even perhaps draw with Norwich. With United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal all to come in the next two months, Alex McLeish will no doubt [...]]]></description>
