Is the following midweek home game against Reading on tv too?
I'm really hoping that Baker is back for this one, think he should play ahead of Clark. Would also replace Stevens with Lichaj. I'd consider putting Holman in ahead of Gabby as well but we may lose too much pace that way.
As for the result, I'm really not sure I can muster up any sort of enthusiasm to even predict.

Baker was fit last week , he was on the bench .

Cheers eastie, didn't know that - didn't get the chance to see who was on the bench. Would definitely put him in ahead of Clark, looks more composed when he's played and Vlaar looks more comfortable with him in my opinion.
I definatley would'nt play Stevens in this one but i would'nt play Clark at left back either. Whilst it's not ideal, i'd stick Lichaj there, Baker alongside Vlaar and give Clark a game in midfield alongside Bannan and Ireland and give Westwood a breather.
4-0 Villa. You watch.I'll take a feed for that game please.

No way would I leave Westwood out . Why would he need a breather , he's only played a handful of games- nice to see bent back fit.

He's been good, but young players do need taking out the side from time to time, it dose'nt do them any harm. Besides, i prefer Clark as a midfielder than a defender.

If Bent is fit he HAS to start with Benteke.
Is Dunne back aswell ?

According to Physioroom (http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php) Dunne & Bent are still injured with no return date

Bent had tweeted that he's ready and sharp and looking forward to the weekend.

Hmmm....be interesting if he's not in the squad on Saturday then. The plot thickens!
Edit: Or of course Physioroom could just be full of crap
I'd play a midfield of
Gabby, Ireland, KEA, Holman
Id throw Bent in with Benteke and Weimann either side on attack . Ireland , Westwood and Bannon in nidddle. Bring Baker in for Enda , with baker or Clark at RB.
2-1 Villa
Oh, I bet the weather is shite.
Think we have a good chance in this one though opted for a draw. If we play like we did against manure we will get
atleast a point.
Oh, I bet the weather is shite.Not sure what the forecast is but Brum is taking a battering tonight with heavy rain and gales.
Ron Vlaar phoned me today. Well, you know... If we cannot sell out VP for the Arse, times are bad.
Oh dear,the other team that must love playing at Villa Park. Can anyone remember the last time we beat them at VP i certainly cannot. Hate to say it,but i can see us conceding another 3 or 4 goals with our so called defence 3-1 to the arse .
Someone will no doubt put me right but did the parachutist in question lose a limb following the accident but then married his nurse/ physiotherapist? I remember it was a horrific accident and it all appeared to be played out in slow motion.

Yes that's what happened. Nothing funny about it at all.

Was it Dec 99 under Gregory the Father Christmas game that we won 3-2? 13 years ago, what an awful record.
I still love Zat for that. One of those players who's not half as bad as the stick here suggests.Oh dear,the other team that must love playing at Villa Park.

i remember one christmas time we absolutely battered them and they went 2-0 up with their only 2 attacks of the game at that point. their second goal was sumptuous. zat knight with the injury time equaliser.

We can beat Arsenal, we just need to get at them and defend well.

Two things we have struggled to do all season!! I do fancy us to get a result from this game though and am leaning towards 1-1.
Camp Lawro says that the Arse 'will win, and win easily'.
How about pinning that on the dressing room wall ?
Cnt.
Is that really "a result", Tom?!We can beat Arsenal, we just need to get at them and defend well.

He's probably right though.

Actually, we should put THAT on the dressing room wall!
I know I often do, but I have a good feeling about this game. If we take a lead as we did against Man Utd I don't think Arsenal have it in them to come back at us.

1-0 to the Villa, Vlaar with the goal.
I fully expect us to lose 0-2 unless we revert to kick and rush therefore missing out our midfield entirely. Which means no passing the ball to the opposition as soon as we win it, no need for Ireland to run his legs off for sixty minutes and then get subbed because hes knackered.
Its simple Guzan boots it down the field to Benteke who knocks it down to Bent who scores....four times!
A much needed home win!

We will smack these soft touch cockney c***s into the middle of next week. They'll get a real fucking mauling which is going to spur us on to twat Reading, QPR and those horrible bastards Stoke too.
To fuck with negative bed wetting. Time to stand up and earn your place in the league.
There were enough signs in the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United that there is great potential at Villa Park, yet Paul Lambert's Aston Villa still find themselves in the bottom three, having only won twice all season. The worry for Villa fans must be that this young side, who are not without talent, will be too brittle to handle the demands of a relegation battle. However they can hurt Arsenal if they play with the same sort of intensity and energy that so unsettled United two weeks ago. Christian Benteke, the kind of striker Arsenal have not always relished dealing with, will be crucial in that regard. His finishing leaves much to be desired but his strength and speed provides a neat foil to Andreas Weimann's composure.
Heavy Rain and 100mph winds forecast for tomorrow. Should make it interesting.
5-0 to us, we get two ludicrous penalty awards but miss both.
Wenger gets 12 match touchline ban for shouting 'wanqeur' at the ref.
Villa will win you c***s.
2-2 Weather seems calm and cold at the moment...Cats & Dogs now
Villa will win you c***s.
That's very sweet of you dear.
At least we've got a nice day for it.2.56 and it's starting to get dark
Villa will win you c***s.
I love games in this weather - I just hope the gunners defence make more mistakes than we do.
Bent left out.
