Aston Villa v Chelsea Pre-Match Thread

[Irish villain]

For some obscure reason I am really excited about this game in a way I haven't been in a while! I think we will have them!

I'm going to go for 2-1 to villa. Heskey and Young for us.

I just loved GH's comment about Heskey being as good as Drogba but just needs reminding about how good he can be! Up and at 'em villa!!!!!!

[PaulTheVillan]

Heskey, Young and Albrighton are fit.

Heskey, Young and Albrighton are fit.

Each to their own.

1-1
Young and Malouda

[Rudy Can't Fail]

2-0 Chelsea. Even without Drogba, they really are the most complete side in the league. They can mix it with the best and have so many match winning players, we can only hope we catch them on an off day.

[TopDeck113]

Over 60% predicting Villa not to lose.  You wouldn't have seen that a month or so ago.

Now that Drogba's out I'll be positive and go for a 1-1, but whilst it pains me to say it, I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea sneaked it by the odd goal.

Villa 2-1 win. Heskey scores first 75-1.

Positive TopDeck?  predicting a draw at home for the ASTON VILLA

[olaftab]

Aston Villa have lost just 2/8 home matches against Sky Four sides since 2008/09 while Chelsea have lost 5/6 away fixtures against top-half non-\sky Four teams.

Their right back is the weak link, so I'd move Ash on the left to attack him and put Ireland in the middle.

I'd play Marc on the right with Reo and Stan in the middle.

Ow and I'd drop Dunne for Cueller.

[Shrek]

Stat on SSN just, villa have lost only 3 of last 29 homes games in all competitions.

I dont like Chelsea.
In fact I`ve never liked Chelsea.
I didnt like them in the 60s and 70s when they were a cinderella club winning nothing.
I dont like them now when they are a cinderella club winning things.
Tambling, Hudson, Harris, Lampard, Terry....all the same to me, all their players have always been too full of their own self importance thinking they are playing for a big club. When in fact the only reason Chelsea ever got any attention was because they are a London club, in fact probably the club who have always epitomised more than any of the others down there what the rest of the country hates about London clubs.

As I say I dont like them, never ever have.

Villa 1 Cockneys 0.
