Aston Villa v Chelsea Pre-Match Thread

[Legion]

2-0 Home win.

Super Emile William Ivanhoe Heskey 56, 78.

[KRS]

Going to be a tough game, so hoping for at least a draw.

[PaulWinch again]

To be fair KRS, I always hope for at least a draw!

[Olneythelonely]

Defeat unfortunately.

[gervilla]

A draw but you never know,we have a good habit of doin them over at VP.

[Legion]

[Monty]

F**k it, 4-1 Villa, Bannan hat-trick and Carlos Cuellar with a bicycle kick to make Doug proud. Sidwell o.g. for them in injury time when he forgets who he's playing for and unleashes an unstoppable 30-yarder which gives Brad no chance.

[TheSandman]

0-2

Drogba twice.

[PeterWithesShin]

8-0, revenge for last season. Heskey 4, Albrighton, Downing, Ashley (Young), Ashley (Cole) OG, Carew to miss 2 pens.

In reality, 2-1 if Heskey plays, 1-1 if he doesn't.

[VillaZogmariner]

2-1

Heskey 23
Ireland 88

Drogba 75

I think we owe them one after last couple of defeats. I think we can do it 2-1 like last season. What we need is Howard Webb or Phil Dowd to referee to guarantee us a penalty.......

[PaulTheVillan]

We'll get beat 2-1.

Cant see Dunne being fit for this. By all account his knee is a bit of a mess. His general conditioning is also an issue, that injury before the end of last season seems to have screwed him though. Strikers are taking him on one on one and beating him pretty easy at the moment.

He had Achilles problems at the end of last season - so how is that related to his knee? You say by all accounts - is that your own assumption? RD completed 90 minutes last week.

1-1. But if someone manages to cripple that twat Terry in the same manner that he assaulted Milner at Wembley it will feel like a massive victory.
