‘It was a bit of a non-event’ was the summary offered up by my Villa-supporting dad. Not words that should ever be used to describe a derby, but bang on the money. I understand why Nuno fielded the team he did. This was our 20th game of the season and three important games are on […]

A majestic victory in a fixture that was far tougher than Wolves made it look. Torino fared well in Serie A last season and matched us toe-for-toe […]
