The Premiership finally got underway yesterday afternoon. Villa started at home against Bolton Wanderers. They only managed a 2-2 draw, but when all four goals came in the first nine minutes, I thought it would be a really good game. Unfortunately, the rest of it was dire. Villa are at Old Trafford next Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, over the other side of the pond, D.C. United stretched their winning streak to four games with a 3-2 win against Chicago two weeks ago, a superb 3-0 home win against rivals the MetroStars and yesterdays 3-0 home win again Chivas. United are at home to the Los Angeles Galaxy next Saturday.
