Villa are looking very strong right now, they also face Everton, Utd and Chelsea but their style of play is more likely to get points (their back 4 is better)
Best in the league, their forward line was up until Saturday a bit suspect though. They looked like they were going to do their annual post-December slip up parade, maybe just maybe they'll finish fourth.

Villa don't have an out and out goal scorer but their manager is good enough to pick a number of options; Agbonlahor, Carew, Heskey or Young. depending on the game, and he has the players to work the ball in to the box in any fashion.
Very good manager, i'd like to see how he copes in Europe at the top level before he comes over to replace AW at the Arsenal

Because he has talent and desire and wants to win medals. If a young player wants to win medals these days then he has to go to a bigger club, like Utd or Chelsea (I'm tempted to add Arsenal but am a realist).
You won't like this I know, but it's how it is these days as fewer and fewer teams are capable of winning the league. The self styled "biggest league in the world" is in danger of becoming as predictable as the SPL.
He won't win fuck all at Arsenal or Liverpool so he'd only go to Utd or Chelsea. You may fart but if and it's a big IF we get better luck with injuries and key players are available for atleast 90% of the season we'll be in top 4, FACT!
When Rooney left we were a bottom half club so he wanted to win things and play a higher standard(irony is we finished 4th the next season without him) Rodwell could slot into our team and level when needed... -

Right.
I haven't been a great Football follower on the past couple of years, and I'm not
sure if anyone on this thread knows about this, but there's a Portuguese website
that will give you all the goals of any world match, for free, to avoid links like
this^^one (not working).
Check it - TVgolo.com -

and then went on to win the european cup, the league, the fa cup and the carling cup. oh how he must wish he could have stayed at everton.

The point was, he was never gonna win fuck all at Everton. Rodwell will have just as much chance to win something if he stays

First half of the season ruined it with the injuries. The shitty home draws against Stoke, Wolves etc and away defeats against fuckin Hull, Wigan & Fulham!

One of the best Everton songs I heard was at Highbury few seasons back when we got beat 7-0. It was our last away game of the season and we'd just clinched 4th and the redshite claimed 5th

Five things we learned from the Premier League this weekend
Manchester United's defence is pitifully frail, Phil Neville should be South Africa-bound and Didier Drogba is the world's best
Neville should play for England
Forget United: Saturday's game at Goodison was really all about the style of Everton's victory. This has been a transformation as comprehensive as Arsène Wenger's refashioning of the lingering George Graham era: eight years ago in Moyes's first game in charge he picked a midfield of Tony Hibbert, Lee Carsley, Scot Gemmill and Thomas Gravesen. On Saturday his midfield was made up entirely of neat, skilful ball-players, three of whom were 5ft 7in or under. Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Steven Pienaar, Leon Osman and Mikel Arteta more than matched the visitors for invention. Add the injured Marouane Fellaini and Tim Cahill and Everton have arguably the best midfield in the country (perhaps behind only Chelsea). Also: Phil Neville should be in England's World Cup squad. Who would you rather have playing at right‑back against a team who can attack properly? Wes Brown? Micah Richards? Still quick at 33 and always a sounder option on the right than the left, Neville is the best English right-back playing.

Noermaly I wouldnt back us against the big teams, but, it will be that glimmer of hope and optimisum for 4th place before Spurs kick there fans in the teath once again. I am almost looking forward to talking about how close we came, again.
