Demoted back to the academy - not best pleased about it according to my mate who knows him.

Arphexad Arbeloa Hobbs Carra Aurelio Benayoun Sissoko Leiva Leto Crouch Babel Subs: Reina, Kewell, Hyypia, Gerrard, Voronin.

Carra just really, really, really, really wanted to win today - more so than anyone else in the whole ground. I thought he was gonna take the 2nd pen, he got the ball from Clattenburg - but then gave it to Kuyt. Carra's reaction at the end was brilliant!

There was a massive kickoff after the game on the road back to the M6. A coach load of our fans was attacked, they got off and it was big street brawl. The coach had a fair bit of damage done to it too. All our fans got back on the coach and tried to get away as quick as they could - next thing you know loads of Villa fans are chasing after the coach with metal and wooden poles. We were only a few cars ahead and we just hid our colours as best we could. I've been to the aways for the best part of 10 years now and I've never seen any trouble before yesterday.

The director's box is being extended apparently - the season ticket holders directly above have been written to saying they're gonna get moved.

I'm a big fan and want him to stay but I think Xabi played in the 1st season he was with us, and probably better last year than this year.

My source at the academy says this won't happen and Gary Mac is still the front runner.
