Villa finished the season last weekend with a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool, but at least there are encouraging signs for next season - two new players (Hughes and Berger) have signed already. Meanwhile, across the pond, D.C. United lost 1-0 to New England last weekend, but beat Kansas City 3-2 at home yesterday.
I finished reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown a week or so ago, and thought it was superb (especially the twist at the end) but not quite as good as The Da Vinci Code. I started reading Digital Fortress yesterday (also by Dan Brown) and became so engrossed in it that I've read it already! Highly recommended.
