Albrighton Out for 3-4 Weeks

Marc Albrighton will not be available to play for 3-4 weeks because of appendicitus.  This is quite a blow for Villa.  We hope Marc is feeling better soon.

2 Late Goals by Utd Kills Villa Upset Bid

Through 79', the Villa not only kept pace with Man Utd., but with a Ashley Young PK and a brilliant goal by Marc Albrighton had Villa leading 2-nil.  But as soon as the commentators started saying "2-nil is a dangerous score" and "you can never count Man Utd out", Macheda and Vidic score to make it 2-2 with 10' to play.  But Villa held on to manage a draw.  It is hard to see a 2-nil lead slip away so quickly, but our lineup was filled with very young players (Bannon, Hogg, Herd, and Lichaj) helped to hold on for a draw.

3 Points! Villa 3-2 over Blackpool

Quite a game to watch (you can see a replay on espn3.com).

Interesting side story about Ian Holloway, Blackpool's manager, and the FA's accusations that he fielded a "weakened" team against Villa.
