Blackburn Rovers v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

If by some chance we don't win, could the more hysterical members of the Miserabilist Tendency please stay away from the post-match thread? Thank you.

Just arrived at Ewood park. Seated for a prawn sandwich before the match. Can't see anything other a win for us. Villa fans getting into the ground to my right.

Time for Ireland to step up.  If he's going to have any future under Houllier he needs to take these chances.

[PaulWinch again]

Ireland does need to perform today, is Albrighton injured?

[spangley1812]

He pulled out of the England U21 game so I presume he hasnt recovered

[Shrek]

We are fucked with out Collins,

We lost 6 nil to a physical Newcastle team with this tram bar Gabby.

[Jimbo]

Albrighton's 'ill'.

[Somniloquism]

Another interesting selection. No Collins and no Albrighton. Injuries again?

[Nev]

Ireland is very fortunate to be selected in my opinion. Last weeks bout of flu has been called into question by certain sections of the media as well.

I hope we don't end up playing with 10 men.
