Aston Villa v Chelsea Pre-Match Thread

[DrGonzo]

Just about to set out with, I'll admit, a feeling of trepidation.  I can see us winning uncomfortably or getting well and truly whooped, a draw is about the least likely result for me.  Please...

[Jimbo]

We'll be beaten.

I have been told that Heskey, Albrighton and Luke Young are out due to illness. Carew, Ireland, and Beye to replace...

[JUAN PABLO]

Beye and Carew and Ireland to start

[pelty]

First! (Winky thing)

[The Situation]

Heskey, Albrighton and Luke Young are ill and won't play? Shit. All 3 players are in great form, such a shame, I was looking foward to seeing Albrighton rip cashley cole to pieces on the wing. Time for Ireland, Carew and Beye to step up in a big game - we need them all to play really well.

Batten down the hatches.
