Villa sinks Birmingham City - 3 More Points!

Our Villa boys are still hard charging towards that 4th position in the table. Let's take 6 points as we close out the season vs City and Blackburn!

Man Utd helps; Gunners draw

Thank you Sir Alex - Man United helped us by beating Tottenham today 3-1.  (Although the groin injury that Rooney has may keep him out of the final league game - hopefully he can return in time for the WC).

Arsenal was held to a nil-nil draw with Man City - which gives City a point (not helpful to us, but better than City getting 3).

Tomorrow is a big derby game for us - Villa v. Birmingham City. The result could really determine if we have a chance to grab 4th place.

UTV!!
