Chelsea v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Jimbo]

I'd like to see Dunne back and I'd like to see him step up to the plate

I'd like to see him step away from the plate for five minutes.

I'd like to see him step away from the plate for five minutes.

...and maybe jog round the table a couple of times.

I dread to think what he had to eat Christmas day.
Probably a whole ostrich with an albatross stuffed up it's arse.

i am going with 3 chelsea fans, have to sit through corporate hostility with a clelsea legend surrounded by chelsea fans, oh god, i just hope we put up a fight, chelsea can be got at. I think Dunne will play I am guseeing it will be 4-4-2 with Heskey and Gabby up top. Petrov and NRC in the middle

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Dont know if i have had to much xmas sherry but think we are gonna battle like we have a purpose (like we used to) and either draw or nick a 0-1. Even gonna put a tenner on us for the win !!!!

Nurse!

I've seen that video. Didn't do much for me. 'Lassie Come Home' took on a whole new meaning.

And 2-0 to the Villa. Because football's like that.

[The Situation]

Beggars can't be choosers... a boring 0-0 will be very satisfying right now.

[hawkeye]

Someone said is it sick to want Villa to lose this game. No I don't think so; and I hate to say it but I hope we also lose at home to Sunderland and away to Sheff Utd in the cup. Perhaps that's what it'll take to levy out the cancer that's eating the club at the moment...

i find this appalling, maybe if you had seen family suffer with thst horrible desease you would not use the term so flipantly

Not conceding an early goal is key here. They’re in as poorer form as we are and have looked as dire as ourselves over recent weeks.

[WikiVilla]

we can do this, and i will be monitoring from my spanish hole, on the edge of the 17th, at Las Brisas

[damon loves JT]

If you knew anyone who had fallen into a Spanish hole, you wouldn't be so flippant

[Des Little]

It's been a long time since I fell into a Spanish hole.  But oh what a night!  I love Salou!

I was there a fortnight ago. It becomes a sad seaside town in mid-winter. Like the tarpaulin flapping over the funfair rides at Blackpool on a drizzly, windswept November morning.

Every day is like Sunday...
