Profile:

Aston Villa have brought together a mixture of youth and experience of the past few years and it has helped them to become a good Premiership side. David O’Leary is a very intelligent manager and has pulled of some great signings of late including Czech Republic striker Milan Baros from Liverpool for £6.5million. Villa’s best ever finish in the English Premiership was runner up’s in the the 1992-1993 season. Villa had a great run in the U.E.F.A Cup in 1998 reaching the quarter finals. I believe all Villa fans can look forward to a great future under Irish manager David O'Leary and who nows maybe they can reach Europe this season.
