It's not all the performance issues, Heskey was mocked and ridiculed by the Villa fans and suddenly we are expected to engage reverse gear and make a hero of him.   Emile Heskey represents in many ways the forerunner of appointing Alex McLeish and the attitude of the board who regard the feelings of the fans as immaterial.   Give them a flag and they will stand for anything.   Cannot wait to see the back of him.

I certainly didn't want to see Heskey in the side, I was looking for us to try and find a settled side and give them some practice together to improve the performances. I'm trying to think if we've played the same XI two games running. What I do know is that we play with a different system with Heskey in the side.

Look on the bright side, he'll probably on last 60 minutes but I do fancy him to score today.*


*In the same way I expect any of out outfield players to score today.

It's villa streams all day for me. You have to pay a limited amount (£12 for 3 mths I think) but the stream's almost always tip top.

The pitch looks a bit boggy, which won't help. We need to get on the ball, dominate possession early on, but ensure that Ireland, Albrighton and Heskey really join Bent at every opportunity.

It's a good atmosphere isn't it? I've got a bit of a bad feeling about this one actually. Feels a bit like Palace away under MON.

It's not showing any signs of me getting it through sky either! I am too ill for the pub. Has no-one got any streaming links today?

No Heskey FA cup goal for seven years - todays the day.

Right come on Villa win and win comfortably and well.

[Mister E]

Sounds like 442 to me with Bent playing off Heskey.

It would be typical if Heskey played well today and scored a couple of goals.

As a supposedly-top striker he friggin' well should score!

More likely to get cloggged out of the game for a while - not such a bad thing, perhaps?!

Just been on uswitch.com and the tortoise said "uswitch Heskey for anyone".

[pauliewalnuts]

Is this his biography they're reading out?

Get on with it!
