Barry calls for Villa points

Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry has challenged his team-mates to end their lingering relegation concerns ahead of Monday evening's Premiership meeting with Everton.
Villa have won only two of their last 18 league games and have slipped to 13th in the table on their back of their poor form.
Martin O'Neill's side are seven points clear of the bottom three and unlikely to be dragged into the relegation dog-fight, but Barry has called for an immediate improvement starting with the trip to Merseyside.
"There are still seven or eight games left and a lot still can happen. We want to at least finish on a high, get the fans in for the last four home games and show them what's going to come next season," he said.
"But we still have to look over our shoulder. It's always nice to get past the points total where you feel you are safe for another season.
"Although we are clear at the moment, you need to get to the points total and then stop worrying.
"We are in the results business and we need to get back to winning. It is all about results and scoring goals."
