1-0 to us. I'm hoping it's not a repeat of the next game after one of the best results of the season syndrome, ie, the joy of beating Chelski then losing to Swansea.

Christ! You know you're having a bad season when beating Fulham at home is one of your best results of the season!

Would also like to see Andy start. Not sure if I'd drop Gabby though.

It's good to have an Andy. When was the last one...Gray, Townsend? Who knows how far we would have got with Hinchcliffe and Sinton being our backbone.

And I fancy Teddy and LoobyLou in as twin strikers.

An easy 2-0 win against a poor Bolton team tired after their exertions in the cup at Spurs.

Villa's preferred formation is with a lone striker. Weimann's the man in form, so I say he plays and Gabby sits.

I've always thought that Gabby's best position is as an impact substitute rather than as a starter.

I agree Andy should get a go, but I have to question your comment about Gabby.  When has he ever come on as an impact sub and made a difference?

Have to be careful of their new Japanese winger Miyaichi, supposed to be a real handful.

Read an interview about him, bizarrely revealing, apparently when he was younger he was a boxer but had to give it up as he ended up 'punch drunk.'
Also, for some reason, mentioned that his Father is incontinent!

I'm going to this one, first one in quite a while, so 3-0. Weimann starts and impresses with first two goals. Gabby late on with a third.

Didn't really mean it was one of the best results per se, more the shock of actually winning, and the way in which we won. Or something along those lines.

I don't think we'll lose again this season, hows that.
