Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get the ball over the line
And where does that immortal catchphrase come from?

Five points clear of Arsenal and twice as likely to win the league
Villa were yesterday moved to level odds with Arsenal to win the Premier League this season.
Now they have been moved to twice as likely.

The focus returns tonight to Villa’s main aim, when we take on Portsmouth in the Premier League. Our boys go into the game down at Fratton Park unbeaten in 10 league games and on the back of 5 away wins on the bounce.
We are currently 20 points ahead of Pompey, who are just 3 points off the bottom, despite being 12th, as the bottom half of the table remains closer than ever. Even Hull, who are 9th, are far from clear of the dogfight in this crazy season.
A win is important for us, to maintain the lead we have over Arsenal and Everton, who face each other tomorrrow night at Goodison Park. Every result in that game has it’s benefits to us, in our attempts to stay above them both.
