After a disastrous away game last Wednesday, where they got thumped 3-0 by Charlton, it was pleasing to see Villa more than make up for it by thumping Newcastle 4-2 at home last Saturday! Villa play Chelsea at home this Saturday. On a related note, ex-player Dwight Yorke committed a very serious crime today.
Meanwhile, in MLS-land, D.C. United played to a 0-0 draw with New England last Saturday, which was no surprise really when you consider their woeful away record. United travel's to Soldier Field to play Chicago Fire this Saturday. Again, on a related note, there was an immense article about Freddy Adu in the Post yesterday.
