I'd really like Villa to finish in the top 4 - it does get properly boring seeing the same bunch get reshuffled slightly at the top end every year. I can see Arsenal at least giving them a run for their money now though.

I cannot believe that result at Old Trafford today. At least it gives the run in a little more spice.

I can't believe this happened;

BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | Sunderland 1-2 Wigan

Two more points and we're safe for another season I reckon. I just want it over with already so we can start rebuilding properly (i.e not getting wastes of space like Mido in).

You are safe anyhow I think. I just hope Villa win tomorrow and get back in the groove.

Pride is dented, but thankfully not a disaster.
If anything, a good wake up call and a kick up the arse.
On the positive side, this defeat won't do United any harm.
In fact, I'm hoping it's what's needed for a final push on all fronts, with the schedule they have over the next 3 months.

Yeah it was a really poor result for us. We needed 3 points today given our next 3 games are Man City and West Ham away and then Man United. Weve got Chelsea on the final day of the season as well which means were gonna need a result from at least one of those or were gonna get dragged in the relegation battle for sure.

So outwardly calm David. I bet you are frigging livid inside lol. That's a spanking and no mistake!

Quiz time peeps.

1) Only one player has won the Premier League twice with 2 different clubs. Who is it?
2) Who is the only player to play in every Premier league season to date?
3) I have won the UEFA cup, the Champions League, the FA Cup and also both won and been relegated from the Premier League. However I have never played in the Championship. Who am I?

Go. And no google.
