Dire Straits

Another must win premiership fixture looms, and with it comes an injury list as long as the gap between Villa and being crowned European Champions.

Defense is again the problem and we head into the 6 pointer with Portsmouth with only 1 recognised centre-back, Liam Ridgewell.

Missing/ Doubtful defenders include:
  • Bouma - crocked
  • Hughes - Late fitness test
  • Laursen - do i need to say anything
  • Cahill - Late fitness test
  • Mellberg - Suspended
  • Delaney - Hamstring/ In a mood

Missing/ Doubtlful midfielders

  • McCann - Suspended
  • Gardner - Injured (Although I might be wrong)

Missing/ Doubtful Strikers

  • Moore - Late fitness test

Fingers crossed on saturday, we've only won 3 games at home this season, but we are playing portsmouth who haven't won in 7 games. Who knows.

Form book says 1-1, reckon it depends on whether Sorenson has had his Weetabix in the morning, he's the only defensive player to cover himself with glory this year. (Although, Hughes has done well too)

    Delighted to admit i was wrong on 2 points. Firstly McCann wasn't suspended and covered himself in glory in a "tigerish" midfield performance with Steven Davis.

    The second point is ... we won :D

    Who cares if it was possibly the worst defended corner in premiership history. A goal is a goal and thats 3 more points on the board.

    General opinion is now that Villa are clear of relegation. All we've gotta do now is start our assault on the rest of the premiership.

    Up the Villa
