Hope we win today, no injuries please. Anyone know what sort of prize money there is in this tournament?

The ground is already full of local knobs in Chelsea shirts.  Blackburn struggling against Kitchee, who have just missed a penalty.

I have no problem with knobs in HK being  taken in by Chelsea hype it's the f*ckers in Solihull, Hall Green, Kingstanding etc  I hate.

Perfect stream on Villa Streams.  12 quid for 3 months football is a real bargain.

blackburn beating kitchee 1-0

Absolutely, 3 months of not scrambling about for a shitty stream......money well spent,thanks.

[Perry Barr Pet]

I hear that Ireland's starting and Bent is on the bench.

[Holtenderinthesky]

How have they sorted out the changing room situation if Villa and Chelsea kick off 40 mins after Blackburn's game in the same stadium?

[eastie]

Nice to see Ireland starting but bit disappointed to see bent on the bench - I was looking forward to seeing Ireland setting him up with his link play and delicate balls.

[cheltenhamlion]

Ireland has delicate balls?

[Holtenderinthesky]

Ireland has delicate balls?

I know Downing does.

[Perry Barr Pet]

The team as I understand: Given, Warnock, Collins, Dunne, Young, Albrighton, Petrov, Delph, Ireland, Fonz, Gabby. 

I think Bent has a slight shoulder knock.

Interesting - hadn't seen this before.
Can you also see games that have been played, retrospectively? Is it always reliable ? How long have you subscribed for?
Thanks for any information on this.

Well looking at today if this is correct Given, Warnock, Collins, Dunne, Young, Albrighton, Petrov, Delph, Ireland, Fonz, Gabby. 
There are a few Villa players aiming to prove a point and fight for places. Aswell as this a proper test awaits and Mcleish managed to get blues to score in both cheslea games last season included a hard fought but dare i say it deserved victory when  cheslea 1-0.
Last season we drew both games 3-3 away and 0-0
We've played 25 times against this lot and have a w/d/l record of 6-9-10
Okie yeah we lost heavily the last two times we played the cups but i think this will be a close match.

Chelsea in all their warm up matches so far have kept a clean sheet Cech was rested (dead leg) in last match but wil be playing today. AVB has said also josh mceachran involved too and maybe our more experience midfielders can take advantage of this  chelsea will make 7 subs and be plenty of changes as they wants to equal minutes for players.

Lampard always seems to score in these games against us and we have trouble with anelka and drogbra in past to.

Collins and Dunne scored in that memorable home win and gabby often causes problems as they cant handle his pace Ga-bon11 even scored a few times if i recall. So he will be our main threat i think we can take a goal in this and also concede so i guess 1-1
