ON THIS DAY
Villa's curious yo yo form continued as they beat Boro to record just their fifth win in 16 games. Despite their regular reversals, Villa rose to 10th in the table. What had not changed however was David O'Leary's bizarre proclamations that seemed designed to denigrate the club whilst distancing himself from any responsibility. Whether that was having an effect on the dressing room wasn't clear but something had affected the same set of players who had evidently overachieved to such a high degree the previous season according to O'Leary.
