| BORO v THE BIG FOUR
Martin, I am sure I heard someone say that following Middlesbrough's 2-2 draw with United on Sunday, they have the best record this season against the big four of United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. By my calculation we have only taken six points from three draws and a win - surely someone has done better than that? Melanie Norton
MARTIN SAYS: Melanie, I think I heard the stat you are referring to over the weekend, and it was based over the last 12 home games in the Premier League when Boro have won five, drawn five and lost just two of their 12 games against Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. They have beaten Arsenal twice and drawn once, drawn all three with Liverpool, won two and lost one against Chelsea and won, drawn and lost against United following Sunday's exciting 2-2 draw. As for this season Melanie, you are right, Boro's is not the the best record against the so-called big four. That honour currently belongs to Manchester City who, thanks to that double over Manchester United and a 0-0 home draw with Liverpool, have taken seven points from as many games with the top four - with the return trip to Anfield still to come. West Ham, who have beaten both Manchester United and Liverpool, will equal that should they get a draw at Old Trafford on May 3, or better it if they can repeat last season's famous victory. Here, courtesy of Opta, are the best records this season against the teams currently occupying the top four positions in the Premier League. |
| TEAM | PLD | WON | DRAWN | LOST | F | A | PTS | | Manchester City | 7 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 13 | 7 | | Aston Villa | 8 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 12 | 19 | 6 | | Middlesbrough | 8 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 9 | 15 | 6 | | West Ham | 7 | 2 | 0 | 5 | 9 | 13 | 6 | | Portsmouth | 8 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 12 | 4 | | Reading | 7 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 11 | 4 |
I bet were top of loosing to bottom half teams too though 
Feliz Año Neuvo |

| If the rules of the Premier League were like conkers, then, if the Rags won the league, they'd have to hand the title over to us.

| Villa are scoring a lot of goals this season, if only they could defend.
