Well done Villa - I remember defending Tim Sherwoods appointment - sure he has a lot to learn, but he's an honest manager and has started well. At least at Villa he isn't managing a bunch of pretentious wankers like he was at Spuds

I would tip an in-form Villa and Benteke to beat Le Arse :)

if you are a betting man, Villa would be a good shout & a chance to make some skrilla there. I am sure they will be a underdog.

I have a strong feeling that Benitez will be their new manager. Either him or Ancelotti.

Well if that's the case they won't be winning the title anytime soon.
While there have been some exceptions, there is always a large gap between the league leaders and Rafael Benitez's teams at the end of the season.
If your'e wondering what the exceptions are the first/second are when he won two La Liga titles with Valencia. The other exception was when he guided Liverpool to a 2nd place finish in the 2008-09 season, where they finished 4 points behind Manchester United.

@Tomo, told you luckily we didn't have Villa in any of our remaining matches. :P

With the way they are going right now, City v Villa this weekend is a major potential banana skin for City.

Tbh I don't think they have been that good, they are just alive now compared to the dross they were playing under Lambert.

Manager's like Redknapp, Sherwood who are like chest beating motivators with very little tactical nous are just the type of manager's Mou has for breakfast.

But we can't really underestimate the power of motivation now, can we? I mean, look what happened to us in 2011/12 when RDM replaced AVB.
