Chelsea v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

I wouldn't be surprised if we got beaten soundly today - it'd be a come down after last week, but really, it is going to be like that, ups and downs, for this whole season.

We haven't suddenly become brilliant, like we were never actually totally shit.

This is one of the toughest fixtures all year, and whatever happens, we just need to keep backing the manager and the players.

Yup.

I said pretty much the same thing. Today is more about direction we are travelling than the result. At the end can we all say we took a step forward in terms of overall play and attitude? Lambert will send us out to play disciplined football, but to win the game. What comes of that remains to be seen. Chelsea are a top side, apparently champions of Europe and we all need to take a breath and not forget that.

Talentless, Z list, cockney bell end is a Chelsea 'fan'. This should be all the motivation we need to hammer these classless lottery winners.

I'll be happy with a point. Extatic with 3. and beating spuds would be a very nice present please Father Christmas.

 I have been good(ish), honest.

Thank you, that was quite remiss of me, for which I apologise.
