West Brom maintain their top position in the The Braggers' League this afternoon as Villa take the 3 points away from Molineux in spite of, it has to be admitted, a valiant fight by Wolves in which they could so easily have got the winner themselves.
Emile Heskey netted his second goal in Villa's first two matches under his old Liverpool boss Houllier, with a stunning header followed by a celebration of putting his hands to his ears in defiance of his critics - which no doubt includes large numbers of the Villa faithful. Meanwhile poor old Mick McCarthy will be feeling a large sense of deja vu as all three points are once again snatched from his grasp after Wolves bossed the game for large periods.
The result means that four of our five clubs line up with 3 points a piece after the first four local derbies of the Braggers' League season. Albion maintain their position at the top of the Braggers' League purely on goal difference. I have also awarded Albion a discretionary bonus point for their exceptional week topped by sticking it up the Arsenal at the Emirates yesterday, which I am sure every fan in the West Midlands will join me in applauding. Remember, the Bonus Points (BP) don't influence positions in the League but will go towards a special award at the end of the season.
Blues remain at the bottom of the Braggers' League but have a game in hand over everyone else, apart from the Baggies, so it's all to play for and anything can happen yet as we go head to head for West Midlands Braggers' rights!
Emile Heskey - silences the voices of vile and unjust derision
...and that's just the Villa fans
