Everton vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Risso]

This is the shortest distance I have to travel for a Villa game - 9 miles.
Normally I am buzzing with excitement about this particular day - meeting up with old mates in and around Liverpool and later seeing some lads from Brum.
Got up today and having digested Old Ginger`s comments I am thinking "why the **** do I bother?
Hopefully our lot will be up for this as Everton are there for the taking.
However like many others on here the prediction is ..............0-0

Have a good day mate....say hi to everyone if you're meeting the usual reprobates!

Hopefully meeting up with my bro` (North Walsall Lions) and some lads I know  from Kings Heath.
Not heard anything from any of the North West guys.
Take care mate .. meet up later in the season I hope.

It will be very interesting to see the starting 11, with the addition of Hutton and Jenas, and the form of little Bannan. Albrighton should start if Bent is not fit, with Gabby up front.

Bet Heskey starts

Agreed, an interesting selection today and if jenas plays i hope it is at heskeys expense and not delphs.

Is he injured? Or to busy giving more interviews about how he is going to get back in the England squad?

Afternoon chaps, ready for this?  I really don't know whats going to happen here today

I think we can win this if we play at our best.
