ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 11 December 2010
Villa win for only the third time in eleven under Gérard Houllier as he remains deeply unpopular for his ill-judged comments following the Liverpool defeat.
Villa's win is their first in 6 matches under Gérard Houllier but all the focus was on his idiotic comments after the Liverpool defeat and the growing demands for his immediate dismissal.
Meanwhile, although a large swathe of senior players also felt the same way the spineless nature of the Villa boardroom saw no such action and instead they launched a public show of support despite widespread criticism.
