Can't see us scoring.  Can't see us keeping a clean sheet.  It is very depressing.  For the first time in 25 years of going to Villa, I am seriously questioning if I can be arsed to go tonight.  And that's the most depressing thing of all.

I'll go, but need to wrap Christmas presents up first.  Not sure which i'll find more exciting.

We are 4/1 to win.  Big odds for us as the home team.

We might be playing poor but I'm having some of that.

We're 12-1 to win 1-0 basically means there's no chance of it happening!

It's going to be tough with the players we have out tonight so we need the fans to get behind the team. I just hope the players respond by working the opposition keeper and by putting in the effort. Anything like Man Utd, Spurs or Liverpool and it could be a long night. It really is up to them.

0-6, followed by 0-3 against Stoke, followed by the Eck apologists[why????] spouting more drivel as Villa sink towards Blackburn, and then when we drift aimlessly to the land of the noses, unless they pass us going up, Eck will have attained his immortality, 3 relegations 4?years., a CV to be truly proud of!!
Just had an email from Villa direct, 50% off many items, Heskey anyone?

About to set off and can't remember feeling less enthusiastic about going to see us play (according to McLeish) one of the giants of the game. Maybe I'll break the boredom by laughing at some of their comedy hair cuts.

Well I'm about to set off to watch Ajax v AZ, so I can for once avoid the 90 minute torture that is us of late. I may even skip the score until I get home.

I like that line up, but maybe switching Ireland for Bannan. That gives us a decent chance to get up the field quickly and with Gab running freely and frequently as a lone striker it could really stretch out their defense. I just hope we make an effort. If we look sub-par for only the first 10 minutes Arsenal will make us pay.

please, something.
