To put it bluntly, Aston Villa have been terrible up to now. Moribund as Alan Partridge might say.
Following an ugly FA Cup tie in which angry fans barracked Joleon ales it and Brad Guzan for their part in a game of ‘how far can you spot your gum’, you could forgive the Villa faithful for dreading the on coming fixture against high flying Crystal Palace.
Putting pain to Premier League predictors everywhere, the Villains only claimed a 1-0 victory, with Mr Popular himself Joleon Lescott providing the goods.
Yes it may have come courtesy of the mother of all gaffe’s via Wales keeper Wayne Hennessey, but when your luck’s not been in it, you truly take what ever you can get.
With Allardyce’s Sunderland just 4 points in front, will this be the start of the most unlikeliest of comebacks?
