Aston Villa v Burnley Pre-Match Thread

[Simon Ward]

Warnock is suspended.

Probably be Lichaj at LB then?

[Mazrim]

I'd go with:

-----------------------Guzan

Lichaj-------Cuellar---------Clark--------Lowry

------Ireland------Reo Coker-----Bannan

Albrighton--------------------------------Young
-------------------Delfouneso

Friedel, Collins, Beye, Downing, Sidwell, Heskey, Carew

It might be a bit lightweight in midfield but we'd tear them a new one.
Lots of quality on the ball, movement, mobility, versatility and pace.
With a fairly strong bench as a safety valve.

Burnley have only got the normal allocation I think and haven't sold out. With the Upper Trinity closed though, it should look a lot fuller than the Blackburn game. I've never seen Villa Park so sparse.

I've got a ticket in the Upper Trinity...am i going to be billy no mates then?

[Holtenderinthesky]

Got a feeling we get done over here.  Really hope I'm wrong but 1-2.

[Holtenderinthesky]

Holte is sold out.

No it's not there are plenty left in both the upper and lower.  Would've been good if it was though.

EDIT. 24,000 sold at the min according to VP.

[Percy McCarthy]

Warnock is suspended.

Does that mean he can play Sunday?

That's odd. It was showing sold out yesterday at about 1800hrs.

[PaulTheVillan]

I hope Clark, Banan and Delfouneso start tonight.

Torn between whether to save our energy for the filth at the weekend or to go hell for leather tonight. I see thins competition as very winable now with some high profile team exiting and I would love to celebrate some silverware at the end of the year. Also I think the match at the weekend has draw written all over it.

Ultimately, what would we remember best and longest, winning the League Cup or beating that lot again? 1976-77 is remembered as one of our greatest seasons of all time. They did the double over us.

is the game on the internet of have i got to listen rom toss

[Mazrim]

Couldn't give a fuck about Blose. A cup is a cup.

[hilts_coolerking]

Absolutely no need to be torn.  It's well within our capability to win both and that's what I expect us to do.

Can't see Villastreams advertising the game :-(
