I heard it through the grape vine (facebook) that Shay was on Sky Sports last night. How did he do? Any comments folks?

Gary Speed gone
posted @ 17:12 in [ Aston Villa -Manchester City -Newcastle Utd -premiership ]
Just wanted to officially say how much we and Shay will miss having Gary Speedo (Speedo) around. I can’t get my head around it and perhaps I never will. Our hearts go out to his wife Louise and two sons.

Nice to see Aston Villa put three points on the board
posted @ 10:38 in [ Aston Villa -Manchester City -premiership ]
It will give Aston Villa some confidence that their unbeaten run continued against Wigan on Saturday. Coming up with three points instead of just the one though will give them a boast before the trial of Man City on the 15th of October. Man City are no a flyer in the Premiership but like any season, someone will take points off them. Let’s hope Aston Villa can take something from the game. I’m sure Shay won’t want to come away empty handed.

Shay looking to start against Blackburn … “Lazarus live on!” :-)
posted @ 10:23 in [ Aston Villa -Manchester City -Newcastle Utd -premiership -Republic of Ireland ]
Shay earned the ‘Lazarus’ nickname from Steve Harper at Newcastle, as it seemed no matter how badly injured Shay was, he would always somehow creep off the treatment table for the next game, much to Steve’s frustration. It seems that Lazarus lives on at Aston Villa, with Shay almost certain to start against Blackburn Rovers for his home debut in an Aston Villa shirt.

Shay excited to be back in the thick of it again!
posted @ 15:19 in [ Aston Villa -Manchester City -premiership ]
“I was genuinely excited, I left home at 16 and even before I left home I’d been playing football all my life. I was pretty regular at most clubs I’d been at, so it was a bit strange and frustrating last year. But it’s great to be at Villa and feel part of the group.”
When asked if he considers himself the best keeper in the league bar Joe Hart, he quipped: “Who said that, Mancini?”
The fact is, he may still be.

Shay says N’Zogbia will give Aston Villa an edge and scare some defenders too
posted @ 11:28 in [ Aston Villa -Manchester City -Newcastle Utd -premiership -Republic of Ireland ]
N’Zogbia is having his medical at Aston Villa and will become the second big signing behind Shay at Aston Villa. Shay was asked by Sky Sports what he thought of the signing. Have a look here at the free video from Sky Sports (thanks guys).
