Highlights of the game. Great debut and great debut goal from Demba’s best mate, Demba, as the Lions of Teranga combined to create double trouble for the Villans.

Venue: St James’Park, NE1 Date: 5th February 2012 Kick Off: 1.30pm Referee: Mark Halsey I never used to bother much about Aston Villa. They were just one of those “middle of the road” clubs who chug along season after season with reasonable-sized crowds but nothing particular to shout about. I got a bit annoyed at [...]

Venue: Ewood Park, Blackburn Date: 1st February 2012 Kick Off: 8.00pm Referee: Phil Dowd. Don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of the sight of Blackburn Rovers!
