Aston Villa v Fulham Pre-Match Thread

[Chris Smith]

I'm expecting Makoun, Bradley, Young, Downing, Albrighton and Bent.

Gabby for Albrighton, who has struggled lately, I reckon.

+50mph gusts and heavy rain forecast for B6 this afternoon

But where the fuck else would you want to be

Come on Villa !!!!!

[Matt Collins]

Hmm, looking at Fulham's recent form, a win would be a great result. They really don't concede many, so I think we may need to keep a clean sheet to win. Gulp

[money] £250,000 [/old rope]

I just hope he doesn't injure one of our football players

He was the Suns Dream Team star man on Wednesday with 8 points - all I saw him do was kick people.

I will be putting money on him getting booked today ! And Darren Bent firstgoalscorer (unless Sidwell injures him first)

kicking isnt his only strength, i saw him take someone out with an elbow the other night, a bit of a nasty streak.

He's taken Ameobi out for a month or two thanks to breaking his cheek-bone.

Mark Hughes putting his stamp on Fulham, great player but what a dirty bastard he was

I am predicting that we won't see much football played in those conditions, but that tippy tappy may work better than hoof.

[carlos the third]

Anyone know if Delph will be back for this one?

[N'ZMAV]

There will be a few long balls going a stray today.

There will be a few long balls going a stray today.

If Cuellar plays, it might mean him keeping some balls in play.

My team for today would be:

Friedal

Walker - Collins - Cuellar - Clark

Albrighton - Makoun - Reo Coker - Downing

                         Young

                        Bent.

With the three of Albrighton, Downing and Young inter-changing throughout.

Bench: Marshall, Bannan, Dunne, Bradley, Agbonlahor, Heskey, Petrov.

[The Left Side]

There will be a few long balls going a stray today.

There could also be some 40 yards screamers too!

Or some four yard screamers, for our fox in the box.

That's what I'd play.

Come on you Villa boys !!
