I think villa could be surprise relegation candidates! oops!

o well i will do a Alan hansen

As i said at the start of the season villa will be in first after 10 games with liverpool the only team which can overtake them with a game in hand.



Sorry Atomic Koala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ironically, their victory comes off the back of a 3-2 defeat against the Toffees. It was nice to see Aston Villa's star striker getting on the score sheet. But the one thing you have to remember about Schmeichel in that game is that he conceded 3, which everyone seems to have forgotten.

if they won the champions league they would be in it again and not the uefa cup (juventus)

I agree. Even as a Man Utd fan, I can easily see Leeds topping the premiership at the end of the season.

"You'll never win anything with kids"

Plainly not true ;)

Leeds now are the Man Utd of the early nineties. They have the talent in the squad, all they need is to increase their income so they can afford to spend to supplement the youth talent, as man utd did, and then they could easily dominate for several years.

Ferguson is concentrating on Europe this season. He'd quite happily see man utd tkae a UEFA cup place if it meant winning the champions league.

Mind you, I get the impression that before they won it he'd have been happy to see them relegated, provided they were european champs.....

Yeah, there results have not been bad at all, a draw with Man U, Liverpool and chelsea are all quite good, and i feel that the best is still to come from Leeds. Now that they have got some of the best teams out of the way, and are unscaved, i can see them being at the top at the end of the season.

I woudnt say Leeds have had any poor results. Remember they are still unbeaten, and this is after going to places like Old trafford and Highbury.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts!

Man Utd, Leeds, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all had some poor results, so it might be a bit closer this year!

i didn't think they had enough defensive strength i thought only mellberg would be any good as i have followed his progress for a few years now. I suspected they would collapse. Now i must eat humble pie.

The big surprise for me of the season has the be Boltons start to the season.

Amazing really.

Aston Villa have got a pretty good team now.....

Last season they could barely scrape together 11 half-good players! :-)
