Nervy times for us Villans! Ordering spare underwear at this moment ....

Fair play to those who have secured Premiership status this weekend: always good to have your team pull out the stops when it matters. Fluff, I'm still pissed at Benteke: can't afford to have lost him so close to the end. The lack of him on the pitch could be the element that sends us down...

Youth is not an excuse; he's a professional, and he was already on a yellow, should know better.

Great, emotional send-off for Moyes; fair play to the Evertonians! Fergie too, though it smacks a little of symbolism and a sense of superiority even in this moment.

Better do.

To be honest Villa are safe. I know I'm tempting fate by saying that but I cannot see Arsenal losing and then Sunderland beating Spurs. Not with Arse/Spurs wanting the 4th spot.

Hoping for an Arsenal win.

Mathematically safe.

Say nowt.

Watched it on a stream, had Alan McInally and someone else (recognise his voice just don't know his name) saying 'Cathorla' every time he got the ball, did my head in.

Anyway, 'Cathorla' had a good game.

It's a shame Newcastle have nothing to play for, Arsenal will win by at least three goals.

Probably four actually, as our manager doesn't care if we lose 4-0 apparently

So we're safe then, are we? Can I breathe now...?

In other news: so winning the title for the first time in forty-odd years meant nothing, did it? I would have thought Mancini would have been given the freedom of Manchester after last year, but no, he's fired instead. Ah, football, she is a tough mistress, no?

David Beckham retiring at the end of the season.

BBC Sport - David Beckham to retire from football at end of season

Legend and fantastic footballer, done a lot for the game and one of the only truly world class players England has had in my lifetime.
