He did well to get back and make a good tackle on Berbatov and almost rescue his own error but was unlucky that it broke straight to Owen. In fairness though he prevented a couple of other almost certain goals with some vital blocks and was almost in for a goal himself at the end.
Still a great performance and just hope he can get to the FA Cup Final and pick up a winners medal there.

Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne has pulled out of the Republic of Ireland squad to face Brazil through injury.
Dunne, who played for Villa in Sunday's Carling Cup final defeat to Manchester United, has been forced to withdraw from the Republic squad with a muscle problem.
Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni has confirmed he will not be calling up a replacement for Dunne for Tuesday's game at the Emirates Stadium.
Named in the PFA Premier League team of the year. Well done Richard, I'd say man city are kicking themselves.

Well done Richard, he almost gave away a goal today with a bad first touch on a pass from Friedel today though.
What a joke the timing off this announcement is. What's the rush? Have nominations and awards go out AFTER THE SEASON IS OVER, not with two or three games left to play and the title still up for grabs.
Yes a fantastic result for Dunne after being dumped by Man City.
According to this http://www.premierleague.com/page/To...,12306,00.html
He is the second best defender in the Premiership and the best centre-back in the Premiership (and hence world??).
Not bad for what was it, £5 million?
A fantastic season for Dunne, congratulations!!
Well done Dunney Monster
Not sure why they do it that way but I expect it is because so that they have a home game where it can be announced to the fans before the season ends.Quote:

Congrats Richard. Also well done to Gary Doherty, Ian Harte and Wes Hoolahan who made the League 1 team of the year.
So this award is really a "best team in the league until January, completely disregarding the final third of the season" award?Quote:

France World Cup exit made Richard Dunne 'laugh'
Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne has expressed his pleasure at France's shambolic 2010 World Cup exit.
"I didn't see it but I did laugh," said Dunne, whose side were denied a place at the finals by Thierry Henry's handball in the play-offs.
"If you're going to cheat to get there, you might as well try when you are out there but they didn't even do that!"
Richard had a bit of a stinker the other day (mind you so did the whole Villa team).
He is the kind of player that seems to take to some managers and not to others. I hope Villa get in a manager that takes to Richard and vice versa because when he is in the right zone for him he is a hell of a good player.
about to be interviewed on Today FM if you're near a radio
Replaced at half time by Cuellar. Hope it's nothing serious :/
Not playing tomorrow against Wolves. Still out with an injured knee.
Taken off early against Chelsea with a knock on his ankle. ESPN just announced he's had 6 stitches in his ankle but is in good spirits.
Richard Dunne laughs in the face of 6 stitches.
He's the reason Waldo is hiding. He doesn't mow his lawn, he dares the grass to grow. He doesn't turn on the light, he turns off the dark. etc. etc.
Good to know it's just a superficial injury. Last thing we need is Dunne going down with an Achilles problem.
