So, whose improving, who's not in the prem

I think its pretty apparent that Brum isn't going to fall. They are so good at pulling out 1-0 victories that I sometimes mistake them for Everton 04-05.

Fulham is still doing well despite a fixture congolmeration. They have a squad that keep it tight and could perhaps win a cup this year. Hodgson: gets Simon Davies?!!??, Zamora, and way past his sell buy date Damien Duff to play well, imagine if he had some talent to work with.

And how right you where my man!

About Birmingham, yes, but not about Villa.

I have to say that so far, Villa have probably been my 'team of the year' closely followed by Birmingham.

That's 'so far' though, and a lot can change.

We're now entering the business end of the season, and we'll see a few teams find out if they have what it takes or not, at BOTH ends of the table.

Arsenal, Chelsea, and United are all in good positions to fight for the title.

Spurs, City, Liverpool, and Villa all have a great chance of a top 4 finish.

Bolton, West Ham, Sunderland, Wigan, Wolves, Hull, Burnley, and Portsmouth all have a good chance of going down.

Before Christmas, Sunderland looked like a Europa contender.
Last season, so did Hull.

Teams can hit a bump very quickly, and Birmingham being knocked out of the cup might just upset the apple cart, so be prepared for that.

Good luck regardless.
