Teenage Albion striker Chris Wood is hoping to extend his loan stint with League One high-flyers Brighton.

Villa’s young stars ended the season on a high with victory at the Hong Kong International Soccer Sevens tournament.

Blink and you’ll miss them but it’s not a magic trick – Walsall’s disappearing thousands are real.

Walsall manager Chris Hutchings has predicted football’s cash crisis will continue to force clubs into administration – but insisted his club won’t.

Striker Alex Nicholls claims Walsall are a “different team” ahead of their final away game at Carlisle but regrets they haven’t shown their true colours earlier.

There is one man with over a decade’s service with Wolves who would probably get an equal reception from Portsmouth fans at Fratton Park on Saturday.

Villa are nervously awaiting the results of scans on Fabian Delph after the £6million midfielder suffered a “serious” knee injury.

Friendship will be left at the door at Swindon as Walsall boss Chris Hutchings looks to deliver a knockout blow on pal Danny Wilson.

Walsall have been boosted by the news skipper Mark Hughes will not miss the rest of the season after only receiving a two match ban.

Turn back the clock 12 months and you will find some spooky similarities between this campaign and the last for manager Martin O’Neill and his Villa team.
