A FANS VIEW: ASTON VILLA

AS we reach the business end of the season the League tables have dictated which teams are going to be in the running for promotion, the play-offs and relegation. 

Over the coming days I am going to be looking at different clubs who are fighting across these three fronts and speaking to fans of those clubs.

In this article I am talking to Aston Villa fan Andy.

What have you made of Villa's season?

I am quite happy with where we are at the moment. I think the season has been okay but not great if we don't go up, if we do then its a great season.

Has the season lived up to your pre-season expectations and what were your expectations?

Being an Aston Villa fan I expected us to be at the top of the division as we are one of the biggest clubs in the division, if not the biggest club.

Who have been Villa's key players this season?

Our goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has been our key player this year. Saving us on so many occasions this season especially in the early part when we were finding it hard to get going.

What have been Villa's key results for you this season?

We have had a few especially during that run where we won seven in a row. If I had to pick two then they would be the 5-0 win over what was at the time a very in form Bristol City side and the 2-0 win over Birmingham that moved us up to second in the table.

Do you think you can win promotion this season?

Yes, I think we can but it must be in the top two because we won't win the play-offs as the likes of Cardiff and Fulham will be to strong for us. I do think we can go up as Champions.

Which sides will make the top six come the end of the season?

I think Wolves and Villa will go up automatically with Fulham in 3rd, Cardiff 4th Boro 5th and Bristol City 6th, with Boro to win the play-offs.

FT REPORT: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-1 TOTTENHAM

HARRY KANE broke Crystal Palace hearts as he headed home an 88th minute winner at Selhurst Park.  It was Kane's 35th goal of the season and his 150th career club goal, the goal equalled his record of goals for last season as he once again looks on course for another stunning season in front of goal. His header broke the hearts of Palace who were denied a precious point in the battle against relegation. One man who will be thanking Kane for scoring will be Spurs right back Serge Aurier who had missed an open goal a few minutes prior to Kane's goal. The result saw Spurs go above Chelsea into the top four on goal difference before the Blues's trip to Manchester United. The defeat for Palace see's them remain 17th in the table outside the drop zone on goal difference. They also play Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in three of their next four fixtures. It was a tight and tense affair in the first half and Spurs were unlucky to be denied two penalties....
