Available Saturday afternoon.
-
Hesk, L. Young and Albrighton are out.
Carew, Beye and Ireland to start.
I'm now even less confident than I was...
-
Come on you Villa boys
-
No Albrighton means one of Young or Downing playing right wing - something they both look uncomfortable with. Shame. Be good to see Ireland play off Carew mind.
-
Beye? Fook, turn up for the books. Let's hope he plays better than his nightmare against Wien Rapid.
Full teams anyone?

If Carew decides to play which is a big 'if' these days...

I looked at the Villa bench and thought that it looked very poor but then realised I hadn't heard of most of Chelsea's subs.
-
How do Dunne and Beye get in ahead of Cuellar? Hmm. Oh well, come on the Villa.
-
Cuellar on bench again. We're due a decent Dunne performance today and I have a feeling he'll score from a corner - this seems to be something we've forgotten how to do.
-
Interesting to see beye get the call ahead of cuellar but nice to see players in their natural position I guess- let's hope Carew has one of his good days !
-
I'm not confident in Beye and Carew, but hopefully they'll both have "on" games.
As for Chelsea, that's the worst side I've seen them put out in years, so fingers crossed we pull something out the bag.
This is a big game for Ireland, his first in his preferred position.
-
Wonder if we will see Ashley on the right and Ireland in the hole with Reo Coker playing in the centre still. It is how I would go.
-
Christ that team looks weaker than I was expecting!
-
be interesting to see Ireland in his real position.
-
Good team selection by Mr Houllier considering we've got 4 players missing due to illness and injury... I personally would of had Cuellar instead of Dunne (I think the Collins/Cuellar partnership works really well).
Come on Villa!
-
Perhaps I've missed it, but if you watch ESPN it'd seem that Chelsea are playing themselves.

Well they are a bunch of wankers
-
Anyone got a link?
-

Yeah... I was thinking why the hell does anybody want to watch an interview with cashley cole. How boring, and to make things worse they've got that dickhead Keegan on who really dislikes us for some reason.

-
when we bought Beye most of us thought that he was a solid squad player. In the new squad era at VP we're about to find out if these players can actually play and contribute. Good luck to them all.
-
Thanks Bernie-can't get into that one tho'.
-
Ireland should have scored

Freaking hell.
-
Cheers Mac
-
Carew should have done better too. All Villa
-
I'm sure it's going to be one of those days.
-
Some great moves from Downing - really encuraging (also for the rest of season)
But - jeez JC is heavy turning :(
-
Downing played 3 successive 1-2s with Chelsea players then!
-
Dunne injured
-
I think he signalled to sub Dunne
-
How did he come off worse in that challenge?
-
Ciaran Claek on for Dunne NOT Cuellar!
-
Clarke
-
Apparently, "chelsea are missing a lot of players" And we're not you bastard?
-
Ciaran Clark on for Dunne NOT Cuellar!
Do you think Houl is unhappy with his suggestion on his blog that he wished he was playing?
-
Nope Young doesn't dive
-
Hang on, sub not made yet. Dunne will be coming back.
-
Who are you watching/listening to, Mac?
-
Clark coming on.
-
played well, but Clark rather than Cuellar?
-
No, the fuckers from Sky know nothing. Clarke IS coming on.
-
Hotlips really doesn't like Cuellar does he, still, Clarke is a great young defender.
-
Not a corner. Justice done
-
Waddle you myopic twat that wasn't a corner.
-
Hotlips really doesn't like Cuellar does he, still, Clarke is a great young defender.
Is that someway a MASH reference? Or am I out on blue six?
-

No, you are correct.
I will get everyone to call him Hotlips Houllier before the season is out.
-
Ive got Efan Ekoko and someone else - on a Premier League channel. Pretty good and unbiased.
-
Tough on carlos not getting a game, let's hope Clark comes up trumps, dodgy corners against us twice , linesman must be blind.
-
im really enjoying this. the pace and attacking intent is lovely to see....
come on you villa boys!
-
This is how we like to see you play Downing....Great covering back
-
Downing outstanding so far - all round very good display by us at the moment.
-
So far I think our defense has done well actually playing the ball out rather than the kick it high and anywhere.
-
Why do Sky commentators alway sound happier when Chelsea have the ball?
-
We're beginning to see a different Villa.
More patient, better passing.
Fewer risks taken with long balls.
I prefer it,
-
great to see Villa Park full again too
-
Why do Sky commentators alway sound happier when Chelsea have the ball?
I'm watching ESPN.
Aren't you?
-
Ireland is not very visible (again). Hope like Milner and also Downing this season, he will grow in the team.
-
Stupid by Reo then.
-
Its sky sports. My connection for the ESPN was too juddery
-
We're holding our own, but how long can we keep it up?
-
I have talkSport on for it.
First time I've ever listened to that station.
-
John Carew is really playing poorly. He looks where the ball goes, and if it doesn't reach him, he doesn't try for the second ball, but just stands still ball watching.
Who can we put on? Weimann? On the bench?
-
Stewart 'Chopper' Downing playing well again
-

Delfouneso.
Weimann still knacked after his injury against Vienna.
-
As commentators just said - Gerrard will rotate a bit. I guess we have to accept changes.
Should help in the long run, improve overall strength.
-
Not a really good block - shit finishing from Ireland. Would not have gone in
-
Ireland not been great in front of goal.
-
That was obstruction. Ref not given us anything this half.
-
Habib also doing well. Surprised - after he has had so few competitive matches
-
Here's a prediction. We're going to play well, have some possession, but get gradually worse as, in the second half, Chelsea crank it up a gear. They'll score one, and we'll have no answer.
-

I thought he was a good signing. More recently I've been flitting between the not good enough and not given a fair crack of the whip camps.
-
Love this new pay-channel i have :) Just commented about our proud history when the camera showed the baner...
-
Collywobbles reckons that Carew is playing like his back injury has flared up again.
We've looked bright but I know we'll lose.
Corner
-
Who's this Peter Cech Collymore keeps mentioning?
-

yeah, saw that too. made me smile...

And we are off.

cheers Mac
-
Good 1st half , only downside has been Carew who really needs to pull his finger out and put the effort in.
-
2nd half shaky .
Nobody noticed Maluda?
-
The fluency of our passing is not good enough.
-
Fucking Ref
-
According to the commentator, they have a heavily depleted team, and we're just missing Heskey and Dunne.
-
Fucking Ref
If JC can't even do that, he might as well stop playing.
-
We'll regret those missed chances. Chelsea starting to get on top and we could do with pushing ash further fwd to use his pace on the break. Petrov looks like he's run a marathon. I fear Clark has a mistake in him.
-
The ref is an 'awayer'.
Well, he ain't a 'homer' for sure.
-
Does not look good. Like we haven't started our tempo yet...
-
It's a bit worrying that apparently 78% of our goals have come in the first half too!
-
Just arrived. So did Cueller shag Houlliers missus or something?
-
We're stupidly wasteful when going forward.
-
Wanker Terry Kicks another Villa player and only gets a booking.
-
Young dived
-
Do I need more reasons to dislike John Terry?
-
The commentator playfully describes the Terry challenge as 'a reducer'. I wonder what it'd be if Reo Coker did it to one of theirs?
-
a sub to be made im sure...delfouneso
-
any good links mine are wank !
-

-
new one think it's spanish
-
Bloody hell, only 7 pages! Must be a good game.
-
cheers come on villa lets sneak this
-
Typical gentle and fair tackle from Warnock.
-
Get JC off...He does nothing...
-
Carew is pants
-
Bloody hell, only 7 pages! Must be a good game.
We're not playing badly. it's not a bad game, no one wants to jinx it
-
JC is like heskey last season
-
We're really missing Gabby.
-
I am trying to jinx it by speaking badly about our players, hoping they prove me wrong :)
-
40, 122
-
There's nobody up front that can stretch the defenders and thus open gaps in the middle of the pitch for the likes of Ireland to benefit from. Carew is never going to do that, so Gabby is a huge loss from that standpoint. It's all too congested and Chelsea are very good at closing gaps. The other thing is our wide players aren't getting the ball fast enough and when they do the delivery has been sub par.
-
Fonz coming on.
-
"Apears that JC is suffering from cramp"...I think they mean from "crap"
-
first half was good to watch...second half is shite...come on villa...theyre loking more likely.
-
We're not just finding it difficult getting out of our own half, we're struggling to get it to the halfway point of our own half.
-
Nathan coming on...
-
Looks like Delfouneso is coming on. Good idea, in my opinion. Carew has been really poor again, I think. For whatever reason, he looks a spent force these days. A shame.
-
I would settle for a drawer but you never know we could just nick one.
-
Come on Villa!
-
Hate to be "that guy" but . . . any streams?
-
Let hem take the free kick from anywhere why don't you
-
on the previous page or page 2
-
40, 122
Thirteen out. I've done worse.
-
This referee is getting right on my tit-end, to be frank.
-
What the hell was that for?
-
Since Laursen left, we've been so poor from corners, not that the ball ever gets in the danger area anymore.. Time to take Ashley off corner duty.
-
Shit, that was close.
-
off the post villa!
-
Come on villa.
-
That ref's an arse muncher.
-
No foul there but ash stupid to mouth off.
-
We're inviting them.
-
7 mins left
-
Sidwell on for Ireland then.
-
Shitwell on.
-
So, uh, is it just me that thinks that Chris 'Pellaty' Waddle has a bit of a problem with Villa?!
-
Steve Sidpen.
-
wow! ref books a chelsea player and it wasn't a foul imho
-
This will be hard last minutes...
-
Christ. There has been some absolutely dismal ball control/retention on display from our players today. It's going to take a long old time, and some new players, to sort that I think.
-
I've never seen us give the ball away so willingly.
-
poor marking there. very lucky to escape. very, very lucky
-
Come on Villa!
-
last minute, corner come on villa
-
BLOODY HELL!!!!
-
Fuck
-
Fuck me Coker. Fuck me.
-
Typical coker
-
Well, that just about sums it up.
-
fucking hell. reo
-
Reo-Coker. The very last player in the world you want with the ball in the position. No composure...never learns
-
We could have won that then
-
Of all the Villa players (or in the world) - NRC is the last i want on a 1on1
-
Ah, probably just about deserved the draw I reckon.
-
0-0 it ends. No complaints from me. On another day we might have won that, but they'd say the same.
-
A creditable point, but never a better opportunity to beat those wankers.
-
Goin home
-
I'll settle for a point although Nige could have been the hero then.
