Some big results today. Big wins for Stoke (now almost certainly safe), Pompey (yay Ian!) and Sunderland. Boro seemed to bombard Fulham but couldn't score.
Villa seem to have imploded lately - they might even lose 5th place to Everton. I wonder if Barry might move to Liverpool in the summer......I bet he wishes he had left last summer now, not that it was his choice in the end.
Big game coming up in the FAC. Wish it was on TV here.
Good to see Portsmouth win - Not a Pompey fan but I've always liked 'em. I think they're a better team than what their record shows. I've also been impressed with Fulham's defense. I keep on expecting them to start conceding a bunch of goals but they seem to be hanging on pretty well.
But I don't know what to say about Villa. I can't believe how many times Villa have given away a lead for a draw or lost after having a lead late in the game. I've been avoiding this thread as much as possible because of their poor form but I think I need to vent a little. I know that their defense isn't what it could be without Laursen and Bouma, but some of their losses/draws at the end is just excruciating (draw today at West Ham, losing to Man Utd after leading 2-1 with 10+ minutes left, blowing a 2-0 lead to Stoke). The loss to Liverpool wasn't a suprise, but 5-0? And Reo-Coker on defense? Bah!
I can't blame Barry if he makes another push to leave. Villa's defense needs to improve and they just don't have the depth right now to make a good run in Champions League even if they pull of some sort of a miracle run with Everton and Arsenal collapsing.
