Mind you, McLeish has clearly got big balls.

15th in the league going into this match, not won at home since bonfire night, and he's shaping up with a Tottenham away style line up. He must really believe in what he's doing to be risking that.

The only positive about Heskey starting is he can't be brought on as a sub.

And he can be taken off.

He's only picked Heskey to help to defend set pieces. He'll offer nothing on the left,and we'll end up hoofing it,how fcuking grim. Least the protest seemed like a joke,80 to 100 people Kendrick just sad.

Dwight Yorke, 'Villa is a tough place to come'. No it's not Dwight, it's one of the easiest places to come in the league sadly.

It's a tough place to come to for us.

If we're talking about Heskey inproving us at Newcastle, we were best in the first half - he didn't come on till 25 odd minutes to go.

For the 20 minutes before we'd hardly had a kick after they stepped it up after half time.

I'm not sure who is more mad, McLeish for that line up or me for spending the next two hours watching it.

Very true, I was thinking the same. I will be so happy when Heskey is no longer on the books.

TBH, the back four selection is more perplexing than Heskey's inclusion.

Bet you Barry and Milner not to mention Silva fancy coming up against that midfield of ours.
