Aston Villa v Fulham Pre-Match Thread

I really hope that we have a big crowd at Villa Park tomorrow. The chance to watch Bent, Makoun and Bradley. I'd love to be there.

I'll be there for you.

kisses.

Bradley will start on the bench, won't he ?

Bradley will start on the bench, won't he ?

I've got a feeling GH will start him on the bench and then give him 20-30 minutes.

4-1 win, bent x3 & downing, also expecting sidwell to score for them with a 25 yarder.

Sidwell is ineligible.  (Not just for this game but in general.    )

Is he ?  He's not on loan is he, I thought they'd signed him.

Is he sold then?  How much did we get for him?  I thought he was on loan.  Either way, thank the lord he is out of Villa Park.

I had a dream last night that I was made redundant and the only job I could find was as a Butlin's redcoat. I don't know whether that means we'll win or lose or what.

For extra clarity, I killed the neighbours cat and examined it's entrails. The liver was clear as day.
Therefore, 3 - 0 to Villa. And an unexpeted parachute entrance of Lee Majors at half time.

wipes away tear. Give them an extra cheer for me when we score our 4th, and Bent's in front of the Holte saying "this my ball now" having bagged his 3rd.

Sure will

They are playing well and i think they are further down the road than us in terms of organisation and style of play, a lot tougher than many on here think, i am expecting a loss or draw

Totally disagree. If they're that much further down the road how is it that they only have one more point than us? They had a good win last week but that was largely down to Spurs committing suicide in the first ten minutes.

I've seen them a few of times and they didn't look anything special. We outplayed them at their place and their away record is pretty poor. If we perform how we have been in recent games then we'll win.

Too right.

Marshall, Cuellar, Bradley, Delfoneso, NRC, Albrighton, Heskey,

what i would play:

-----------------------Friedel--------------------
---Walker----Cuellar-----Collins----Clark----
---------------Petrov-----Makoun-------------
Young-------------------------------Downing----
---------------Agbonlahor------Bent------------

Marshall Bradley Dunne Delfoneso NRC Heskey Albrighton

Bringing on Bradley for 20/30 minutes and the fonz a run out too

[ozzjim]

Really want Bradley to start.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I was expecting a tough game based on their recent form but having just read Chris Smith's post, I'm lo longer concerned and expect a comfortable 2-0 home win. Ace!

[Shrek]

Petrov should and I think will be dropped, Houllier hasn't stood for any shit so far, so Petrov's petulance will mean he is dropped.

I think Makoun was brilliant Tuesday so I'd have no problem with Bradley being thrown straight in!

[Bottom Right 89]

3 - 1 'Smash' hat-trick - Aaron Hughes with a consolation.

Further proof that Mr Smith is indeed our most influential poster.

Petrov should be dropped because he just isn't able for the hussle n bussle of the Premier League anymore. His petulance is secondary but if that is what it takes for GH to drop him, fine by me.
