So annoying.
In brighter news, hilarious about how Man Utd have been eliminated. For those that don't know, in the Conti Cup, the best two runners up from the group stage qualify for the quarters. It was us (10 points) and Man Utd (9 points). Villa won their league, but were found guilty of fielding an illegal player against Sunderland. So Sunderland were awarded the match, and ended up winning their group with 10 points, instead of the 7 they did have. Villa dropped from 12 to 9 points, but have a far superior goal difference to Man Utd, so took the second runner up spot instead of them. So Villa's penalty has ultimately meant that Sunderland have qualified instead of Man Utd.
Which is, no two ways about it, very very funny.
