• According to the calendar of sports events published in Monday’s Guardian (The week ahead, 28 September), Aston Villa played at Fulham on Monday at 5.45pm, then at Liverpool at 8pm on the same evening. That’s a tough assignment for any club. Villa’s first XI won 3-0 at Fulham. The second XI, apparently renamed as “Arsenal”, lost 3-1.
