Available as soon as the team is announced.
-
Bennett for Bertrand is the only change.
-
@MatKendrick: Villa (4-3-3): Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, El Ahmadi, Weimann, Benteke, Agbonlahor. #avfc
-
Getting asked where the Holte End is makes me sad. Replying same place it was against Norwich makes me feel a bit better.
-
@MatKendrick: Villa subs: Steer, Sylla, Holt, Clark, Albrighton, Lowton, Robinson. #avfc
-
Chelsea's starting XI: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Torres

Strong side but nothing to be lost here in having a go at them - hope we start on the front foot.
-
Well you can almost guarantee Torres will score, but i'm relieved Lampard isn't starting
-
Baker & Bennett & KEA against Torres & Hazard & Willian. Preposterous really.
-
Now now, let's be positive....
-
Baker & Bennett & KEA against Torres & Hazard & Willian. Preposterous really.
That must be something like £4m v £90m
Give or take a few mill or two
-
I've had Torres to score in first ten minutes 10/1. It's that early concession thing we do
-
Zola has read some papers about half of a Villa match in preparation, then. Pro Chelsea amateur pundit twat.
-
I expect to be in tears, but I'll try and bear up.
-
See you when the hand wringing starts in 90 minutes.
-
Right, here is the deal, Fate/ gods. Ireland can continue scoring tries against France, if Villa beat Chelsea. We only have 2 bottles of wine left here, so sorrow drowning ce soir is finite...
-
Willian down with a smack in the face-By the ball/Baker(?)
In other news Ireland 12 France 6 in the egg game
-
That Chelsea physio needs to rub me
-
Baker booked.
-
Needless early booking for Baker makes his weak situation weaker.
-
Hardly touched the girl
-
Stupid tackle by Baker , brainless at times our Nathan
-
Get Clark & Alby on for Baker & KEA. May as well start early. Lambo always takes half an hour to respond.
-
Nice one Baker. Shit for brains.
-
Chelsea already finding joy down the right side.
-
Willian shooting on sight from our throw-in...
-
KEA from 30yds. Wasteful.
-
Wasteful from KEA
-
Lovely big Ron
-
Bennett has started strongly
-
evening up the villa
nice break off
lets hope chavski have a off day and villa play well
point I will be happy ;)
-
Oscar and Willian ends with shot just over bar
-
Does Pleat ever stop talking nonsense?
-
Unlucky, almost a class through ball for Benteke from Andi
-
All wing play at the moment, gives us a chance to dominate midfield.
-
Good start form Villa all things considered.
-
France 13-12 Ireland HT
-
Willian boooked for challenge midfield on KEA
-
Were playing really well
-
Corner for Villa
-
So far, our team looks smart.
-
30 mins gone and I think we've played well as a unit.
-
I don't understand - why aren't we being destroyed - yet?
-
I don't understand - why aren't we being destroyed - yet?
Playing quite well to be fair, defending well too.
-
We are leaving 7 to defend compactly and keeping 3 up, so their full backs are not joining attacks. Their tactic that we need to solve is Matic jumping for Guzan clearances against Benteke, meaning Cahill and Terry mop up every flick-on.
-
Home fans in fine voice.
Oooh Big Ben shot. Close!
-
Everything has been great....apart from our final ball
-
Bennett doing well so far.
-
Damn that was close from Tekkers
-
1-0 Matic away goal...
or not?
-
Handball! Goal disallowed by linesman.
-
Cornalty denied by very good officiating there. Push plus handball.
-
thought we were robbed again then
-
Only 40 odd minutes gone but this could be Bennetts best game...well done kiddo
-
Ramirez knocked to the floor by Bennett, booked.
Lost his head, lucky to be still on the pitch.
-
managers waving cards gets on my tits too
-
Very decent performance so far - keep it up lads!
-
Will be amazed if we finish this match with eleven men!
-
France 13-22 Ireland
-
Mourinho shaking the invisible card, pick.
-
be very happy with 0 0
not that lamberts HT talks are good
but happy so far
-
Hate Mourinho and his twaty girl gestures
-
HT 0-0.
We'll take that.
-
Superb boys, kept Chelsea feeding off scraps.
Keep it up
-
Worked really hard will need to work even harder in the second half but well played. Particular shout out to Bennett, fair play kid.
-
Why are the commentators even debating whether it was handball, there is absolutely no chance he scores if that doesn't hit his arm, therefore handball and free kick is the only fair decision.
Getting pretty pissed off that pretty much any time we make contact whilst tackling he gives them a free kick, 2-3 have been very soft.
-
We're doing well just need to improve our final ball.
-
Played well so far. Gabby needs to get his head up better. Bennett had done well so far so fair play to the lad. And the internet connection is great today. Faulkner said on Thurs it would be.
-
Wales 51-3 Scotland
-
we've played very well. We have a game plan for their ability to exploit the flanks and it has worked well. I thought Bennett looked really quite competent both in coverage and man to man, and he's kept things simple overall. We do need push down the right a bit more to keep Hazard honest as he is the key for Chelsea. Concerns now are if they bring on Lampard and start attacking the middle and getting behind our CB's.
-
And some of the footwork and skill of Benteke really is a joy to watch.
-
This type of effort, organisation and a little more heads up composure for the rest of the season and we will nail midtable security no problem
-
Wales 51-3 Scotland
WHAT!!!!!
-
Mourinho shaking the invisible card, pick.
Self-opinionated tosser of the highest order, spouts shit every time he opens his disgusting gob and a mirror image of the cheating classless chavs he manages
-
Wales 51-3 Scotland
WHAT!!!!!
Try the Other Sports thread!

Benteke was penalised for not allowing Ivanovic to scythe him down.
-
As Gianfranco says...."He's got a goal in his hands"....!!!!!
-
France 20-22 Ireland
-
Allez Les Bleus et Les Claret Et Bleus! There has to be a reason I did not win the £107m today, right?
-
C'mon Ireland
-
Wales 51-3 Scotland
Why are you posting rugby scores on a villa match thread?

A banning offence.

Come on Villa. Let's have a right go.
-
Wales 51-3 Scotland
Why are you posting rugby scores on a villa match thread?
It's actually Bible code...
-
Oh, dear. Ivanovic capitalising on a Guzan mistake. Concentration is going...
-
This could be a long half
-
Lambert needs to strengthen the midfield but with whom? Sylla?
-
Were really under the cosh now.
-
We really do have to stop punting the ball up to nobody or it's a matter of time until they score a couple.
-
hopefully they wil have spell for 20 mins . stay at 0 0 and then maybe we will grow in game
-
Bloody good beard Nath
-
We're starting to look shaky now and are dropping deeper and deeper. Getting rather worrying
-
hows did mourinho understand lambert
-
Bacuna had space to whip in a cross. Benteke unlucky.
-
Jesus the clocks slowed right down. Helps when we keep the ball for a couple of seconds.
-
bennett is doing ok
-
Willian offside.
Starting to get tense.
-
hopefully they wil have spell for 20 mins . stay at 0 0 and then maybe we will grow in game
This. Remember West Ham at home? Better than that at 55".
-
why do we give the ball back to teams so easy
-
Andi and Gabby off. Lowton and Holt on. 3-5-2.
-
bacuna just cross the bloody thing
-
Shit from Bacuna, but that wasn't a foul.
-
Lampard 17 goals in 35 games against Villa lets hope he dont get on anytime soon
-
Baker puts it behind for corner.
-
ivanovic hate that knob
-
Baker conceeding another corner.
-
According to Pleat this is a London-Midlands derby. I did not know that.
-
All a bit last ditch now. Needs a change.
-
They're getting in behind us now.
-
how long ?
-
I am 100% certain that Albrighton would make Azpilicueta look like an anagram for 'inside out twat'.
-
According to Pleat this is a London-Midlands derby. I did not know that.
Fuck me...
-
France try referred to video replay...
-
Forward pass denies French try. Ireland still 22-20 ahead.
-
so many times give the ball away KEA there !!!!!
-
Villa counter from Torres head back.
Chelsea subs being prepared.
-
Take some risks going forward Villa
-
FT Ireland 22-20 France. Ireland Six Nations Champions.
-
Aaaah, Benteke so so near!
-
Ah fuck, Benteke...
-
Great move
-
should be 1-0
-
great move.
-
Mourinho has never won at Villa Park...only just found that out.
-
The lesson of history for the English is that they can never rely upon the French.
-
unlucky
-
good move thou

-
Fucking hell, a really, really good move. Deserved a goal.
Schurle and Ba coming on suggesting they will start becoming a little more central and direct

COME ON VILLA!!!
-
and fuck off Mourinho.
-
harsh that but come on villa
-
We might win this
In other news--Ireland win the 6 nations
-
About time we got an easy decision...or two :D
-
I would go nuts if that was a booking for one of our lads....shocking refereeing.....but I DONT CARE!!
-
Extremely soft second yellow. Hahahahaha!
-
Haha, Villa fans noisily telling Mourinho to f*ck off. Commentators studiously ignore it. Marvellous.
-
COME ON VILLA
GO FOR IT !!!
-
It would be nice to have some possession now that we have a man advantage. You'd think we were down to 10 men.
-
Loving this. Fuck off Chelsea.
Red card for nothing at all !!
Funny as mourinho has been waving cards around all through the match
-
Marco coming on
-
Time for a sub? Albrighton?
-
Lambert needs to respond to this and soon. Albrighton to press them back, replacing KEA.
-
Villa corner.
Fuckin' skin 'em!

Good move again. Corner
-
Marc on for Gabby
-
Gabby coming off for MarkyMark

Gabby off. He looks knackered does Gabs.

How many times have we caught them offside. Brilliant line discipline from our boys.
-

we can do these horrible fookers
-
Delph shot wide.
-
another chance
-
Delph on his wrong foot. The other side he'd have fused the ball to the back of the net.
-
Vlaar booked for knocking down Schürrle, edge of box.
-
fuck free kick outside box
-
Cheating classless gobby tossers as usual...
-
That's a very harsh free given to them in a very dangerous position.
-
Fuck
-
thank fook fat frank isnt there

-
Bennett off for Clark.
Interesting...
-
FK wasted and wide.

-
Bennett off for Clark.
Interesting...
3-5-2 maybe?
Baker possibly to go on the left.
-
We have really, really given it a go today. However it ends now we've done ourselves proud.
-
I'd still be delighted with a draw even with Chelsea down to 10
-
Villa corner #3
-
Can we have this ref against every Sky Six team?
-
Bennett off for Clark.
Interesting...
3-5-2 maybe?

Lambert telling Mourinho to go fuck himself politely

Started by Delphs neat footwork too!
-
i think i broke my toe on the coffee table

-
5 mins left + ET
-
Come on Villa!
-
We need to get some composure here and not give the ball away cheaply
-
Fuck me, how I wish I'd gone to the pub now to watch this and ram it down those tossers' throats. My wife has been banned from texting the copious classless wankers we know who follow the chavs
-
Heart attack city now.
-
That Clark sub is well-timed. Got a solid back four.
-
Hold the hell on Villa!
-
Lovely ball in by Marco
-
Weimann couldn't get on the end of a tasty MarkyMark cross.
-
Albrighton has been making a real impact of late. The lad has matured well.

Want to bet!? This is Aston Villa....
-
COME ON VILLA BABIES
-
Out fitness levels seem to be better than in previous years.
-
Terry already resigned to defeat.
-
Time to switch over and pace round the kitchen
Just popping out to prune the clematis....
-
Lambo's subs were actually spot on this time.
Delph & Westy looking great in midfield.
-
Terry already resigned to defeat.
And being a wanker
-
so we dont let one in until 93 mins. NAHHHHH not gonna happen.
-

Cech saves from Delph!

If a Brazil or Chelsea player scored that goal, Sky and BBC would be tossing off about it until next season.

Rent a gob on the pitch - wanker has been sent off

Mourinho sent off.
Madness.

Haha Mourinho sent off

Hah, this is brilliant. I haven't had so much fun in ages!

Absolutely superb win and so very deserved
-
Hope KEA is OK, he's been key to today's win.
He was everywhere again today Mike. You're absolutely right
-
Hope KEA is OK, he's been key to today's win.
He was fucking brilliant, I'm glad he appears to have removed the leadshot from his boots.
-
I love the Villa-totally unexpected!
-
OVER THE FUCKING CLARET AND BLUE MOON
-
A great win and none of the fingers-in-mouth nervousness of previous ties.
Serene win.
-
YESSSS!!!
-
Karma fot the match at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season!
-
"Aston Villa have claimed a famous victory, and these are the kinds of evenings that make Villa Park a grand old stadium." - Pat Murphy
-
great win, lovely goal, 2nd was as clear a red as you'll ever see, first was harsh but given all the stuff they got in their favour at the start of the season I couldn't give a shit if it was harsh. It'll make the mourinho post match sulk all the better.
