FA Cup In Pictures: Chelsea V Aston Villa – The Goals, The Penalty And The Fans
CHELSEA beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the FA Cup. Before the game Chelsea fans unfurled a banner that proclaimed John Terry as a “Chelsea Loyal”. We sniggered. Monocular football fans don’t give a monkey’s for the hero’s love life so long as their team wins. In pictures: the goals, the game and the fans:

Heather Mills Court Case Pictures: Jury Calls Arsenal’s Eduadro And Aston Villa
THE monstering of amputee Heather Mills continues. The court calls Eduardo, Arsenal and Aston Villa’s “sick” and lame.
We’ve already told you of Michael Deacon, the Telegraph’s TV Features Editor, wondering if when Mills is spray tanned, as her nanny Sara Trumble alleges, that false leg gets a matching varnishing:
…Did the nanny have to spray Mills’s prosthetic leg too?
Deacon says the question is “mildly offensive”. It’s not offensive at all. It’s just an aside to the Mills-McCartney story, which has been relentlessly humourless and spiteful. There has been worse said of the Sun’s “Lady Mucca”. But the Telegraph wants it both ways.
When Arsenal’s Croatian striker has his leg snapped in an outbreak of anti-football, Aston Villa fans sang:
Eduardo..Woaahhh
Eduardo..Woahhhhh
He used to have silky skills
And now he walks like Heather Mills

David Cameron Cuddles Up To Brussels – He Prefers Gardening To Football
OLD Cammety Cams the PR man did an interview on the Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV yesterday where he finally came clean. Unlike Raith Rovers obsessed Gordon Brown, Dave admitted that in spite of a mild flirtation with Aston Villa when it comes down to it he prefers hanging out with veggies (no jokes about the shadow cabinet please) than watching ballet for the masses.
So should footy fans be worried that the possible PM isn’t really on their team. On one level no. Then again the last Tory PM who didn’t like football consistently gave fans a good kicking with planned identity cards, wire terraces etc. I think football has a few rocky years ahead, mainly due to the way the clubs are run financially, and the last thing we need is people with little understanding of the game meddling with it.

Premier League Photos: Wenger’s Arsenal Thrash Aston Villa 3-0
ARSENAL beat a strong Aston Villa side by three goals to nil and all is right with the world. Last week, Arsenal rediscovered the fighting spirit against Hull that saw them win titles. Against Villa it was back. To win the league a team needs skill and substance. Arsenal have both. It also helps if you have Cesc Fábregas. And the Premier League needs Wenger’s Arsenal. Success is not a commodity to buy. Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Spurs are X Factor teams – big corporate machines that seek to buy silver by spending big. Arsenal want to do it with patience and team building. Arsenal are the Rage Against The Machine protest vote. Here are the best 10 photos from the game:

Madeleine McCann Spotted at Aston Villa Versus Everton
A LINK between Claudia Lawrence and Madeleine McCann has been established by the Archbishop of York and the whole thing linked to the Premier League:
The Archbishop writes his sermons with Google key words in mind:
“Football has come a long way since members of the Aston Villa Church Bible Class formed a football team in 1874 and the members of St Domingo’s Bible Class started playing football at Stanley Park in 1884.
“But when Villa take on Everton this afternoon for the riches of European glory, they would do well to recall the faith of their founders and to abandon the amnesia of their heritage.”

Federico Macheda: a new Man Utd starlet is born
