ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 15 March 2008

Villa lose for only the 2nd time in 13 Premier League games as they again can't get to grips with a combination of a tiny, ramshackle ground, a bloke with a bell and some very, very highly remunerated players. As a result Villa fall back to 7th in the table with 8 to play.
Olof Mellberg is sent off on his 256th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W87 D76 L93, 8 Goals, 6 Assists and 33 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a rate of a card every 7 games so far in his Villa career.
