I’m deliberately late with this post as I didn’t want to make it too easy to spot this game in the formation challenge. In case you were wondering, it was (D).
You may notice that the formation shown in the average position map for this game probably more closely resembles a 4-4-1-1 with John Carew apparently [...]
Not quite what I was expecting this week. Following the loss at Blackburn, the Villa players in the Top 100 positions slipped a little from last week, but the number of players in the Top 100 increased!!
Last week it was Stan Petrov finally crashing the Top 100 and this week it’s James Milner joining [...]

Gabby again got Villa off to the best of starts in the opening minutes. The in-form striker cleverly moved [...]

The point of the story is that Marc has just been rewarded with a new three year contract and considering his new squad number for this season [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve just spotted that Stan Petrov has finally made it into the Actim Index Top 100 this week (updated September 22nd 2009) in 74th place. I’ve mentioned the curiosity of Stan’s absence from the Top 100 before, so it’s nice to see him sneak in.
On the other [...]
Not the greatest surprise in the world, but the news is just breaking that Marlon Harewood will be joining Newcastle on loan and is expected to travel with his new team mates to Ipswich at the weekend.
A move like this was always on the cards and it’s frankly quite surprising that it’s taken this long. [...]
