  Stiliyan Petrov is in his seat at Villa Park, smiling, shaking hands and signing autographs. He got a great reception from the Chelsea players when he met them a few minutes ago too.

Great footage of Stan at VP with a huge grin on his face signing autographs.  Top man.

Good team selection that.

Hopefully they can hold their own.

Very relaxed about this. Happy that McLeish has gone with a young attacking line up. A lot of kids who will be looking to make an impression. Daunting, yes. But their passion can make up for that.

Nice to see the ground looking fuller than it has in recent weeks. It is a wonderful place when it is rocking.

Don't you feel a much greater inclination to get behind a line up like this too, I certainly do! We ought to stick with these kids, something to define us and cling onto at last instead of the same old same old

Or potentially one of the worst Villa sides ever to represent us in the Prem.  Lacking in experience and under the guidance of Alex McLeish.  I fear a thumping.

We've got a much more comfortable passing side today.
