19.45
3-0
Ireland, Delfouneso, Bannan.
-
Should be a routine win but important not to get too complacent about this. According to Hereford's website (http://www.herefordunited.co.uk/page/AwayTicketsDetail/0,,10835~2421773,00.html) they've got the Upper North stand with an initial allocation of 3,700 tickets so it will be a bit of a cup final for them. I'd still go:
Guzan
Lichaj Dunne(c) Clark Warnock
Ireland Gardner Makoun Bannan
N'Zogbia
Fonz
Subs: Marshall Young Collins Petrov Albrighton Gabby Bent
-
6-1 go as strong as possible apart from Given, Gabby and anybody else with knocks. Guzan, Lichaj, Collins, Clark, Warnock, Makoun, Delph, N'zogbia, Bannan, Albrighton, Bent
-
Guzan, Lichaj, Baker, Clark, Collins, N'Zogbia, Bannan, Makoun, Albrighton, Ireland, Delfouneso... is what I'd pick, with Bent and some other stars on the bench in case we find ourselves in trouble.
I worry he might pick Beye and play him at left-back, where he is even more useless than at right back, to accomodate Lichaj and rest Collins.
After an edgy first half, we'll beat them in the second.
Three-nil... Delfouneso (48), Bannan (55), Clark (87).
-
I would like to crow-bar Ireland, Bannan and the fonz into the team whilst keeping the same formation. This might be difficult as Ireland and Bannan are both best in that central role in my opinion. I'll go:
---------------Guzan--------------
Licaj---Collins-----Clark---Warnock
------Makoun-----Delph------------
Albrighton---Ireland---Nzogbia---
---------------Fonz---------------
Planned subs:
1. Heskey for Fonz
2. Bannan for Ireland (Ireland to play versus Wolves)
3. Gardner/Burke for someone
-
Been a long time since i've seen us play a Welsh team at VP. A 5-1 stroll for Villa reserves.
-
Would like to see Ireland and the Fonz start...
-
6-0
Ireland x2 Fonz x3 and Bannan
-
I'd play..
GK: Guzan
DL: Warnock
DR: Lichaj
DC: Collins
DC: Clark
MC: Makoun
MC: Delph
AMC: Ireland
ML: Bannan
MR: Albrighton
FW: Delfouneso
Marshall, Beye, Dunne, Gardner, Johnson, Bent, Weimann.
2-0. Delfouneso 29, Weimann 89.
-
Hope to see Ireland, Bannan, Albrighton, Makoun and a few fringe players given some much needed game time. If they can get their names on the scoresheet then would give them a great confidence boost.
A comfortable no fuss win please to build the momentum.
-
Guzan
Beye Clark Collins Warnock
Makoun Bannan
Albrighton Ireland NZogbia
Delfouneso
4-0 win.
-
I'd like to see Gabby start this one to continue his confidence building. No point in keeping Fonz in the side IMO as I seriously doubt he will never make it, how many seasons as 4th/5th choice forward before he steps up? Sell him as soon as I say. Anyway, I wouldn't go too 2nd string as Hereford will be up for this and I'd like us to do well in the CC this year.
2-1 to us.
-
Guzan
Lichaj - Collins - Clark - Warnock
Makoun - Delph
Albrighton - Bannan - N'Zogbia
Bent
-
I think Given, Young and Gabby are all carrying knocks so would rest them all.
How about:
Guzan
Lichaj - Beye - Clark - Baker
Albrighton - Hogg - Makoun - Bannan
Ireland
Delfouneso
SUBS: Marshall, Warnock, Collins, Gardner, Herd, Weimann, Heskey
-
The fonz is only just 20. 20!! Give him a chance. Albrighton and bannan had never even played before they were 21, never mind got something like 6 goals in 9 starts.
I'd play :
Guzan- lichaj, Collins, Clark, warnock - Ireland, makoun, bannan - albrighton, fonz, n'zogbia
-
2-0 Villa win
-
4-0. Given
Lichaj Collins Clark Warnock
Makoun Gardner
Albrighton. Ireland. Bannan
Delfoneuso
-
Guzan
Lichaj Beye Clark Baker
Makoun Gardner
Albrighton Bannan
Ireland
Fonz
Beye needs game time, he might have a role this season. L Young is carrying a knock. So is Gabby and Heskey. wouldnt like to risk Bent/Collins/Dunne or Delph in a match like this.
-
10-0 to us. And that's at half time.
-
Five nil win to the Villa.
Think a few of the squad players will get a runout here, and still think we will have more than enough for a comfortable win.
I would rest Petrov, Heskey and Bent but bring them on if needed. Would like to see Ireland, Bannan, Delfouneso, Clarke and Hogg get a start. I would also start Beye (might as well make him work at least on day a year).
Think we need to keep Given in goal though, not a fan of resting goalies. N'Zogbia needs to start so as to get more match fitness.
-
I'd 100% rest Given as in both league games he's had to stop taking goal kicks.
I reckon we should play our youth reserve team to make it fair on Hereford.
-
9-0. They lost 0-4 at home to Macclesfield last week for pete's sake and had Russell Hoult in goal, he must be in his fifties. We'll take them to the cleaners.
-
Don't forget they got a 0-0 with the mighty Blues pre-season.....
-
An unremarkable but efficient 3-0 win.
-
Our next tie is hereford and i believe that despite expected changes to line up the formation to stay same.
Against herefords in league cup tie:
guzan at gk
lichaj or herd at right back getting forward.
Beye and clarke central.
With baker at left back
MIDFIELD of the 4-2-3-1
the two of gardener and makoun
In front of this bannan come in as one of the 3 AM along with albirghton and the ireland.
The fonz upfront.
With this can look at alternative options in these roles.
That said i wouldnt expect alex mac to make wholesale changes as cup is important competition
ireland or bannan in the 2 of midfield would also be interesting
say heskey albrighton and nzogbia as the 3 and bent up top
-
If we can't make a few changes and comfortably beat the league's 91st team at present then we are in trouble!
I am confident of a 4-1/5-1 win and would like to see Guzan, Beye, Makoun, Ireland, Albrighton and Delfouneso come in for Given, Young, Petrov, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor and Bent
Keep Bent and Zoggy on the bench in the (hopefully) unlikely event we need them!
-
Been a long time since i've seen us play a Welsh team at VP. A 5-1 stroll for Villa reserves.
Welsh?

Yep, definitely Welsh.
-
I think you will find Hereford is in England. Not sure why Mcleish is not playing Makoun. But i think he will make us a much more creative team and ensure we remain in possesion of the ball. If he does not play hm Tuesday. I think he might be sold in this window .........

--------------------Guzan----------------------
-Lihaj------Beye------Clark(c)---Warnock--
-------------------Makoun---------------------

-

I think AM has seen that we need more bite in midfield hence why he is playing Delph, and we cant accommodate both Petrov and Makoun without losing a forward outlet. Petrov is also the most experienced out of the two of them and has so far deserved his place.
-
I would like to see the team starting as strongly as possible (they need to get match fit and they cannot be tired yet!) apart from Given who is obviously carrying a knock
Get a few goals up then take off the key players
-
What Hookey said. Don't want to see too much tinkering aside from maybe Given rested and leave a couple of others on the bench but not 11 changes.
-
There'll be a lot of 'oooh arrrghs' going on for sure.
3-1 again
I'd play the yoof.
-
I would definitely have Gardner involved in this one.
-

Nah, Hereford are awful and I think we need to give minutes to the likes of Bannan, Fonz, Ireland and Makoun to make them feel part of things.
3-1.
-
I think you will find Hereford is in England.
They are Welsh because it annoys them.
-
I'd go with:
Guzan
Lichaj Collins(C) Clark Baker
Makoun Gardner Bannan
Albrighton Ireland
Delfouneso
Marshall, Dunne, Warnock, Delph, Herd, Johnson, Bent
But I dont expect he will at all.
-
I think you will find Hereford is in England.
They are Welsh because it annoys them.
You're probably confusing us with Shrewsbury Town boyo.
-
Hope we treat the game seriously because i think this will be a really enjoyable game for us to practice and show some good skills and football, I would put out a serious team in order for them to get some game time, I would put out Bent, Gabby (if not injured) Heskey and Delf to get in amongst the goals and ready for Wolves.
Should be a bit of a treat hopefully.
-

Hereford is 16 mile east of the Welsh border. But apparently there sheep are known to have many relatives from down the road. And are regular callers on "Helpline" ..........
-
Gardner not in reserves team tonight so I am guessing he maybe involved tomorrow!
-
I think it's virtually impossible to predict a team, other than the obvious of saying 'here will be changes'. Personally, I'd like to see Bannan get a start, but other than that I think Given, Gabby and Young will be rested/not risked. One of Collins or Dunne to play with Clark. Think Bent might play and get taken off if we're a few goals to the good. Albrighton to start and I think he'll play N'Zog for match fitness. So....
Guzan
Lichaj
Clark
Dunne/Collins
Warnock
Makoun
Hogg
Albrighton
Bannan
N'Zogbia
Bent
Result wise I'll 3or4-1 with them getting a late consolation goal.
-
Get the game won then make changes. A cup run is what we need this year.
-
I wouldn't risk more than two or three players who will get a start against Wolves and definitely would not pick Given, Luke Young or Gabby who seem to be carrying knocks or Bent as if he gets injured we would be in trouble.
-
Injuries aside I'd keep the back 5 the same for continuity, but change the front 6, thus;
Given
Young Dunne Collins Warnock
Makoun Clark
Albrighton Ireland Bannan
Delfouneso
The usual front 6 I'd have on the bench, except bent, I'd rest him entirely and get Gardner on the bench and give him 30 mins or so.
One nil Villa, Gardner.
-
Really want Gardner to be slowly intergrated into the team. Think he is going to be a massive player for Villa in the future. Starting to have concerns over Ireland and wonder if there have been some problems in training or else where ..........
-
I think you will find Hereford is in England.
They are Welsh because it annoys them.
Is the correct answer.
-
I think that we will be likely to play some of the first 11. Dunne, Collins, Petrov, Bent, will all start I reckon.
4-0 win
Guzan
Lichaz
Collins
Dunne
Clark
Petrov
Makoun
Bannan
Albrighton
Bent
Fonz
-
Bent has to play.
-
Bent has to play.
Why?
-
Guzan
Beye
Baker
Cuellar
Warnock
Albrighton
Makoun
Ireland
Clark
Bannan
Delfouneso
-
Bent has to play.
Why?
He's our best goal scorer, tomorrow's the sort of game that will get tough if we haven't stuck one in in the first half hour.
They're gonna defend deep, so the first goal will probably be a scrappy one. Start Bent with the kids and hopefully it's 2-0 by half time, we can take him off and the kids can express themselves.
-
Rather give opportunities for some other players to grab some goals and boost their confidence than risk Bent picking up an unnecessary injury.
-
Been a long time since i've seen us play a Welsh team at VP. A 5-1 stroll for Villa reserves.
Welsh?
Yep, definitely Welsh.
Are you not counting Cardiff two seasons ago then ?
-
They're gonna defend deep
I'm not so sure. Although I hate pretty much hate the phrase, this is 'their cup final' and the players usually want to prove they can play on such a big stage. I'd expect them to have a go at us and try and enjoy the game.
-
Sorry if this has been answered before, but does anyone know why this is being played on a Tuesday instead of the usual Wednesday night ?
-
Carling Cup games are usually played on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays, particularly the earlier rounds.
-

I'm assuming so we have maximum time to prepare for the early game on Saturday.
-
A win for us but we will only get a couple of goals, and some of the stiffs should get a run out!
-
Its a pity Gardner is injured.
I'd go with:
Guzan
Lijach
Clark
Collins
Warnock
Makoun
Hogg
Irelnad
Albrighton
Bannan
Delfouneso
In a 4-3-2-1 system.
-
Bent needs to start so that we break their spirit with a quick goal. Hopefully up by 2 or more by half time and get him off sharpish at the break. Having won this cup last AM won't be wanting to give it up easily, so I don't expect any more than 5 or 6 changes to the starting line up from Saurday.
-

Nope, as I missed that game. Last time I saw a Welsh team at VP would have been when Swansea were last in the top flight.
-
Ads team would'nt be far off the team i would pick, but i would try Herd as the holding midfielder instead of Hogg.
-
Carling Cup games are usually played on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays, particularly the earlier rounds.
But our midweek games are historically played on a Wednesday.
I'm assuming so we have maximum time to prepare for the early game on Saturday.
It's never been a problem before, so why now ?

Perhaps the authorities thought clubs would be more likely to field a strong team if they have an extra day's recovery period. I agree I'd rather play Wednesday though. It will throw my whole week out, I will wake up Wednesday thinking I only have two days left at work before grim realisation sets in.
-
Gary Gardner is not in the reserve squad tonight. So I imagine will be tomorrow?
-
I reckon he'll be in on the bench with Johnson.
-
Regretably, we don't have the same selection problems.
We have a total of 24 players at The Club. One is on loan at Gloucester, two are transfer listed and unlikely to be involved and five are injured.
Naturally, we will be full of beer optimism ;)

Good luck to you, ExLandlord. I'm sure you'll bring lots of support, which I suspect we won't, despite the low prices. I obviously want us to win, but I hope you'll have a good day out and see your boys play well.
-
Agree with all that Frank.
ExLandlord, was wondering what opinions are on Graham Turner... cos there are some parallels with the McLeish to Villa move! Has supporter opinion to him thawed, or do you consider him to be a "Judas"?
-

Tosser of the highest order....and that has nothing to do with his move to Conference Bound Slopbury Town. Ran The Club into the ground and walked off with full pockets. If he was on fire and I was bustin' I'd happily water the dandilions instead.
Don't believe the media hype about him saving the Club...the fans raised the money to pay off the pressing debts and he left us in a worse state than when he arrived.
Shrewsbury and Turner....a marriage made in the sewer. May they rot together.
Well, you did ask ;D

think we'll win 3-1 again.
Just received a phone call from the ticket office asking if I wanted to attend the game (along with the Wolves and Newcastle fixtures) and was encouraged to buy the tickets there and then because they were expecting it to be "quite busy". It was a very informal phone call the type you might receive from a mate. Is it me or does that seem incredibly small time? Trying to drum up business over the phone? Seems like we might have to get used to 32,000 (or less) most weekends this season

Cheers. Hope we can get a decent crowd for you tomorrow. And hope you get hammered, obviously!
-
I tipped Heskey to score at the weekend ( of course I wasn't being serious ) so for this one I will predict that Ireland and Jean 2 will get off the mark in a 4-1 win.

Graham Turner was one of the worst managers we've ever had. He was completely out of his depth in the old 1st division and was sacked before he managed to get us relegated (leaving Billy McNeill to finish the job).

You're probably confusing us with Shrewsbury Town boyo.
Them as well!
I support Tamworth as well as The Villa so have been to your fairly horrendous away end a couple of times, but always loved my visits for The Victory and the other pub over the road I can't remember the name of.

The Barrels

Can AMc repeat the feat with a bigger/better club ?
Home draws against lower league opposition will help for sure -
Comfortable 3-0 home win with Fonz bagging a brace and Ireland getting 90 mins ?!!!

Hereford have sorted free Coach travel for their fans, so 25 coaches are full. Suggests that they had sold 1,500 ish by early today and were trying to get their fans to buy tickets up to 4 PM today or face queueing up at VP tomorrow night.
Pretty decent show I'd say.
-
Been a long time since i've seen us play a Welsh team at VP. A 5-1 stroll for Villa reserves.

Yep, definitely Welsh.

Except it's in England. All this petty crap like Newcastle being Scottish is just plain silly.

4-1, them to score 1st. Fonz x 2, Clark & OG for us.

I know this is outrageous but I am going to say 6-1 Villa. Me and five friends are having several bets with large odds. So it's a bit of a laugh which could become fruitful ......
-
2-0 villa
-
an injury hit hereford team who are conceding goals galore and only 1 point out of 12 - i think we are lookin 5-0.

-
Villa team news looks like Agbonlahor/Heskey/Young could be doubtful or at least not starting tonight, restnig on bench
Along with Cuéllar who is still not ready likely back 10th sept (Knee injury)
Agbonlahor has a Hamstring injury after suffering a kick in the hamstring against Blackburn
Heskey has a Groin Injury against Blackburn.
Alex McLeish was confident in his post-match comments that he had not suffered a major setback.
Young Knee injury a kick to his knee against Blackburn.
Alex McLeish stated in his post-match comments that the injury would be assessed but seemed confident that he had only suffered a minor injury.
-
I reckon we'll play quite a few youngsters and struggle to play cohesively at first, but be reasonably comfortable in the end. 2-0 Villa.
-
5-1 villa
-
I think there's a good chance Gardner could be involved, he didn't play for the reserves yesterday did he?
-
Well Makoun and Ireland have to start , Id like to play Bent too , I think you need your striker to keep getting goals on the board whoever we play , it just breathes more confidence . Nzogbia needs more games , as well as Albrighton . so I would love to see all those 5 play, not sure how you would fit them all in .. Petrov I would rest .
-
Bent
Nzogbia Ireland albrighton
Makoun Delph
Warnock Clark Collins Lichaj

Guzan
Lichaj Dunne Clark Warnock
Albrighton Makoun Ireland N'Zogbia Fonz
Bent
Subs:

Gardner
Bannan
Heskey
-
I always forget about Chris Herd too
-
I think Gardner on twitter said he is recovering from a groin strain. And would only begin training later this week.
-
Yeah I heard a rumour he's struggling with an injury. That's quite disappointing as this is an ideal situation for him to come into.
-
Id be amazed if any of Petrov, Bent, Nzogbia, Gabby, Young, or Given play any part in this game.
I think he'll go something like;
Guzan
Lichaj
Clark
Dunne
Warnock
Bannan
Ireland
Makoun
Delph
Delfouneso
Heskey
Not the team I'd go with as I'd like to see Nzog and Gabby (if fit) in the side for confidence purposes but we do have a huge game on sat and AM will be mindful of that.
I think we'll win but it'll be closer than many think I reckon. 2-1. Heskey with both.
-
They're bottom but one in the fourth division. If we can't use this as an opportunity to give a few players a chance to impress then we never will.
I hope Herd gets a run out, he impressed at right back at Derby.
-
I like Herd. He's versatile.
I think he could do well on the right of a midfield three and I'd have no problems with seeing him play tonight.
I think he's more promising than Hogg (not that I'm writing him off) for instance and he seems to have put a bit of muscle on over the last year.

-
I think 3-1 Villa. Delfouneso (2) and Ireland.
I'd go with this...
-------------Marshall--------------
-Herd--Cuellar--Clark--Lichaj--
----Makoun---------Hogg---------
-N'Zogbia--Ireland--Bannan---
------------Delfouneso-----------
Subs - Guzan, Collins, Warnock, Petrov, Albrighton, Bent, Weimann.
Just the one remaining in side from Blackburn being N'Zogbia, with a side full of players who want to prove themselves. Think Hogg and Herd especially can do a solid job, with Bannan, Makoun & Ireland showing what they're made of. Nice mix of experience/inexperience on the bench added to that to see us through.
-
I think he's more promising than Hogg (not that I'm writing him off)
I have already written hoggwash off
Jon Hogg is not up to premier league level
He has batttling qualities but is not much more than a water carrier.
-
5-2 at 80/1 looks like a good fun bet for a couple of quid, along with a more likely 5-1 at 25/1.
-
From the expresss and star
Alex Mac “It would be nice to do it two years in a row, but the big important place for us is the Premier League and trying to get as high up the table as we can.
Hereford, who drew 1-1 with Football League newboys AFC Wimbledon on Saturday, are 23rd in League Two and McLeish will make changes from the weekend’s 3-1 win over Blackburn.
Gabby Agbonlahor is a doubt after being replaced at half-time with a hamstring problem, while Emile Heskey and Luke Young were also withdrawn with abductor muscle and knee injuries respectively.
Brad Guzan could replace Shay Given, after thegoal keeper was troubled by a groin problem against Rovers.

5-2 at 80/1 looks like a good fun bet for a couple of quid, along with a more likely 5-1 at 25/1.
Gud luck with that damo
i like bannan to score and albrighton
hopefully bent wil start match
-
I think he's more promising than Hogg (not that I'm writing him off)
I have already written hoggwash off
Jon Hogg is not up to premier league level
He has batttling qualities but is not much more than a water carrier.
In that case expect him to sign for Barcelona within 2 years.
-
James Milner could be described as a workhorse rather than a thourghbred however he is very effective so Hogg could develop in a similar way.
-
Heading off soon, quite looking forward to seeing us play a club i've never seen us play before.
Come on you Villa boys! UTV
-
2-1
Albrighton, Fonz, and some Hereford chap.
-
A comfortable 3-1. Hopefully.
-
5 - 0 Villa!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Leaving for VP shortly looking forward to a warm evening and a warm result. 4-0 will do.
-
Does anyone know the squad for tonight?
-
I know there are Carling Cup highlights on BBC 1 tonight but are there any live feeds for this game? Checked myp2p and it seems to be down and a few others are not showing the game at all.
-
You've got no chance of getting a stream for a non-televised League Cup game.
-
No streams :(
-
4-1 come on lads let this be our year for the league cup.
-

Oh well, it's live on Radio Five so I'll listen to that and have to put up with Manish Bhasin and Steve Claridge tonight!

Hmmmm, I'll give it a try but it I never get a stable connection on one of these flash media player sites!
Cheers though :o)
-
I can see us scoring four or five. McLeish will want a big win and lets face it, even the reserves would hammer these!
4-1.
Bent 2, N'Zogbia and Albrighton.
-
Guzan, Herd, Lichaj, Dunne, Clark, Bannan, Makoun, Ireland, Albrighton, NZogbia, Bent
-
MyP2P, seems to have changed to wiziwig.eu not showing any streams for the game tonight.
anyway 5 - 1
Fonz x2 Clark Ireland Makoun
-
Guzan, Herd, Lichaj, Dunne, Clark, Bannan, Makoun, Ireland, Albrighton, NZogbia, Bent
That the official team? I like the look of it if so.
-
Yes
-
Would've picked Collins, Baker and Fonz ahead of Dunne, Herd and Bent.

Certainly surprised Bent's playing and that both Ireloand and Bannan are in the same team (midfield looks a little light).
-
4-1-4-1 formation? Attack, attack, attack!

It does a bit (the midfield), but I'd hope that Bannan, Ireland and Makoun should be able to keep possession against this lot fairly comfortably.
-
Would love a smashing 6-0+ score. Really get the players confident.
-
Very surprised with the strength of the side but pleased that AM is taking this competition seriously. Hopefully a confidence boost for the likes of Marc, Ireland and Makoun.
-
Who's on the bench?
-
Subs: Marshall, Beye, Lowry, Baker, Delfouneso, Hogg, Weimann
-
There must be a hacker or technical supremo who can find a stream for this game ?
-
Say what you like but it is definitely an attacking and strong line up.
I expect it will be a comfortable one.
-
Who's on the bench?
marshall, beye, lowry, baker, fonz, hogg, weimann

Just had a look on Justin TV, http://www.justin.tv/zberu111#/w/1661586368, stream looks terrible if the images are anything to go by !
-
i said 5 - 0 earlier lokking at the line up i change it to 6!
-
Big game for Ireland, Bannan and Makoun. They have a real chance to stake a claim to a regular starting place.
-
Is Gazza Gardner not fit?

Is Gazza Gardner not fit?
Groin injury he tweeted earlier

No, groin injury. Shame really.
-
We should absolutely hammer these! Bent hattrick!!!
-
Bent to majorly boost his goal tally tonight I reckon.

Cheers latz will have a look ........

Baker is suspended after his red for the reserves last night I think. Lichaz over Beye is good, as is Herd - is he playing centre back?
-
VP is buzzing this evening. Long queues at the Trinity road ticket kiosks.

Ta, shame. Would have been nice to see him get 1/2 hour. I said in an earlier post that I expected Bent to start. Hopefully we'll get an early goal or two and by HT be in a position to give him the rest of the night off. I will be interested to see how Lichaj fares. He played very well for the US at the Gold Cup playing LB.
-
We should absolutely hammer these! Bent hattrick!!!
Newcastle said much the same in '72 not realising the potential of Radford and George.
All things considered it should be a walkover but this is Cup football and we cannot make bland assumptions.
-
Bent hat-trick 7/1 in William Hill earlier.
-

Brilliant news!!
UTV!
-
Would have been the perfect opportunity tonight for him, shame really. Fairly attacking side tonight would have liked to have seen the Fonz start.
-
Irony of ironies i'm stuck in Tewkesbury on holiday. Missus wouldn't stand for me trogging up to VP so i'm stuck listening to Shitkicker FM and trying desperately to find a decent stream. :-(
-
why is Villa streams not showing this....Villareal and some other shite
-
I'm actually really gutted I'm not there tonight, I'm on holiday. Can't remember the last home game I missed.
I hope Bent gets a few tonight!
-
why is Villa streams not showing this....Villareal and some other shite
Because it's not being broadcast on TV anywhere...
-
won't be shown live on any channel, so audio is the best you are going to get.
-
Worried we're going to concede first.
