Rumours, facts and speculation
Everton and Liverpool drew last night in the Merseyside derby, which has had interesting effects on the table in our neck of the woods. We are now 3 points off top and 8 points clear of Everton. Top is a pipe dream and looks almost impossible with goal differences the way they are, but to be 8 points clear of Everton is great news. Whilst the optimist in us dreams of remaining in the battle with Chelsea and Liverpool, the pessimist fears Arsenal and Everton hijacking the party.
Wigan are now 13 points back, so top six is looking fairly safe, but we won’t be able to stop worrying about Everton and Arsenal until the fat lady has sung.
Ins and outs
Drogba on his way to Villa?!? MON gets faxy with Roman
Yesterday I complained that there were no interesting rumours floating around football land about Villa or, even better, transfers taking place. You’d think that with Villa in the top four when the window re-opened would be enough for me and I’d just be happy with what we’ve got, not moaning that we need new signings.
Call it The Man City Effect, but I feel we so need to splash out on a striker (and a full back wouldn’t do any harm either). When Gabby got into the box on Saturday he looked up and saw the drawback of the 4-5-1 system. He was alone.
Since we adopted the formation back in November, other than the initial slip up against Boro, we have been in superb form results-wise. We haven’t lost another in the league, winning 6 and drawing 3, two of which draws were against Man Utd and Arsenal. In the 9 games since Boro, we have kept 5 clean sheets and scored 15.
