Aston Villa v Chelsea Pre-Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

Stop whining Moore, apart from the last two, you've been spoilt with regards good results against them in the last few years.

[hawkeye]

Chelsea have a second X1 that would give us a good game so a few players out wont make much difference. We have got a few missing aswell. A draw would be a decent result but i think we will get beat

[mozza]

Would be happy with a point ...............1-1 and a long overdue Dunne header

Is that correct - still tickets available - shocking !

[Chatters]

I'm back in the motherland for the weekend at a family gathering in the city centre. Can anyone suggest a pub that's not far from Bennett's Hill that'll be showing the match? I'm sure they won't miss me and my cousin for a couple of hours!

First opportunity to give EBJT some stick (I don't think for one moment he won't be fit for tomorrow). Hopefully Heskey will be fit so he can show how average Terry really is. I despise Chelski and their chavvy fans as much as I dislike Spurs but fear we'll lose.

[Blackcountry Villa]

Terry is fit, which is no surprise. 'Where were you in Africa?...'

But, and it's a big but, Drogba is out. A massive boost for us that.

[VillaAlways]

Chelski team for Sat
                Cech

Ferreira   Ivanovic     Terry     A.Cole

   Essien        Mikel        Ramires


      Kakuta   Anelka  Malouda

Lamps still out for further 2 weeks.Drogs out with fever   

[Blackcountry Villa]

Forgot to add, we'll still lose.

[Shrek]

I'm feeling positive about tomorrow.

[garyshawsknee]

They've got a few out,still gonna be tough,i'd take a 1-1.

[TaxDodger]

I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow, one of my house mates at Uni is a fellow Villa fan, another is a Chelsea season ticket holder. Needless to say we're all going down tomorrow, the last time all three of us went to the same football match it finished 7-1.

[PaulTheVillan]

I'm now feel that it'll be 0-0.

We need to keep Malouda quiet.

[Olneythelonely]

Malouda absolutely destroyed Luke Young at Stamford Bridge last year.

I reckon he'll put him into Row Z after 6 minutes.

[Matt Collins]

Good news on the fitness front. I reckon Ireland in for albrighton will be the only change.

[Gareth]

...............Friedel
Young Collins Cuellar Warnock
......NRC Ireland Petrov
Young.......................Downing
...............Heskey

Would be happy with that side.....if Albrighton is fit have him and wee Baz ready to come on
