Oh Yeah: UNI...(please follow RT)

When a team are as inconsitent as Wigan, they could definately end up in the relegation dogfight. Same could be said for West Ham as well.

Can't see that myself. Playing too well and picking up points at the moment.

I can see Burnley staying up, maybe by the skin of their teeth. Same with Hull but the extent of Bullards injury could be vital. Im a Bullard fan and it was horrific to see him go off like again so soon, it was also great to see the Villa fans giving him a standing ovation.

Birmingham did well to come back against Wigan but I wasn't impressed at all with Pollitt in goal after Kirkland went off. Don't know about everyone else.

EDIT: We have Fulham in 20 minutes. Haway the lads.

^^^ It was really sad seeing Bullard going off like that and it was quite a fair consellation that the villa fans gave him a big applause. For his sake, hull sakes and my sake(as a huge fan of his) the injury better heal quickly.

Fulham are a class above against Sunderland so far, failed to capitalise on a few chances though.

Same old shit from Sunderland. Incapable of winning away from home and getting beat by just about every cross and long ball put into our box.

Man U have a complete makeshift defence and still trounce Wolfsburg 3-1. Hat's off to them. Owen hat Trick too? maybe it's not too late for the World Cup?

According to the stats United only had 4 shots on target all game.
And I bet they weren't all from Owen. Pretty clinical!

Wigan vs Stoke... WOW!!!

One of those mid-table belters, landing up in a 2-2 draw at Britannia.

First half relatively boring and slow, but the second half came to life with Figeuroa scoring a huge freekick from in his own half, Stoke replying straight away via Shawcross, Rodallega missing a penalty on 90 minutes and setting up camp on the Stoke penalty area for the last 4 minutes of stoppage time. Go watch that goal. Awareness and a clinical shot, awesome!!

Villa vs United tonight. Early xmas present please?

Nevermind the missed penalty - those can happen to even the best players in the world. But to concede a goal from a set piece moments after going ahead is an absolute joke. Otherwise, good performance from the latics. And no, I'm not in the slightest bit concerned about relegation - we're in as much danger as a whole load of other teams, and we're a good team when we want to be, so I fancy our chances. Plus, as long as Bolton continue to struggle, I'm a happy man!
