Aston Villa v Newton Heath Pre-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Hogg starts, christ on a bike.

[PaulWinch again]

Is Clark injured as well now?

[timeoutbigbar]

Clark injured?

[MattW]

VILLA: Friedel; Young, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Albrighton, Bannan, Hogg, Downing; Young, Agbonlahor. Subs: Guzan, Lichaj, Delfouneso, Osbourne, Herd, Lowry, Johnson.

That's as inexperienced a bench as I can remember.

[Matt Collins]

Jesus Christ, Hogg and banana! This would be a major achievement to get anything out of the game. Surely these injuries can't be a coincidence!

Let's be honest, there's a chance we could get beaten out of sight with this team. If we do, I don't want to log on later to find our entire youth system being rubbished

[JJ-AV]

Bladdy hell. Not good news.

On my way now, do us proud boys!

[Holtenderinthesky]

Oh shit.

[Summers]

What the fuck? :\ Bench looks worrying.

[Blackcountry Villa]

Bannan and Hogg will get destroyed. I can see a heavy defeat on the cards.

[Jimbo]

Batten down the hatches, men. Sorry, boys.

[hilts_coolerking]

What's the Man United team?  Are they missing / resting anyone?
