Bust-up mars Villa team trip

Several players reportedly had to be pulled apart in the restaurant at the Champneys Springs spa resort on Wednesday. Villa boss Gerard Houllier was at the resort on Wednesday before travelling to White Hart Lane with assistant Gary McAllister to watch the Champions League game between Tottenham and AC Milan. Houllier has now launched an investigation into the bust-up and a Villa spokesman, who denied there was any violence, said: "The club is aware there has been an incident. We have launched an investigation in line with our internal disciplinary procedures."
