Credit to them for that. More here (more…)

Which ‘A’ will it be? ‘A’ston Villa or ‘A’rsenal?

It seems the media has pinned Shay’s future on the 2 ‘A’s': Aston Villa or Arsenal. It seems at the moment Aston Villa are heading the hunt. It will be interesting to see if Arsene Wenger comes in with a bid for Shay? Who would you like Shay to go to?
