Villa lost
3-2 at home to Middlesbrough on Saturday. I know they're having
injury woes again, but if Villa play like that against the enemy across the city on October 16th they'll get hammered. I hope O'Leary uses the two-week break wisely, and for goodness sake sort out that defence! A defeat on the 16th is unthinkable.
D.C. United on the other hand are faring much better. They thrashed arch enemy the MetroStars
4-1 away, and in doing so secured themselves a playoff berth, dashed the MetroStars own chances of making the playoffs and cost MetroStars Head Coach Bob Bradley
his job. United play Real Salt Lake tomorrow evening.
