Watching it through a 42'' with a beer.Life is great Come on Villa.

You watching on villastreams? I have mine running through my iPad and sent through to tv via apple tv, awesome!

s*****t.
Fixed sorry.

I wonder whether Lambert wants the option of going to a 3-5-2 with Delph moving to left wing back.

Good thinking; yes, maybe.

[CJ]

Surprised to see Baker at left back - Lichaj would have been a safer bet unless he's concerned about their set-pieces. Baker has impressed me when he's played centre back but never when he's played left back.

Lichaj has also played CB and is strong in the air so PL obviously doesn't fancy him playing on the left.

I think the team is strong although how much N'Zog is up for it remains to be seen. I'm glad to see Delph back but fear for his disciplinary record. Who's the ref?

The ref is Mike Dean.  Bit card happy IIRC

Interesting line up, now if they can play as PL wants to play them then great. Now its upon us my doubts and worries of Villa from the past couple years have returned. Hopefully its only nerves!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Clark at left-back.

Think PL is going with a 4-2-3-1 can't wait to see how we line up and perform today.

Yes ... not so good for young Fab.

I would, he's definitely been seeing and playing Clark as a centre-back, and all the indications are the partnership with Vlaar.

Soccer Saturday having a good old batter at the Villa fans for the way we treated Eck.


Fucking morons.


And please stop the streams talk, and do not post any links, they will be removed.

Terrible the way we paid him a fortune every week just to better his career and then a big chunk to send him on his way after he failed.

Sorry mate is that a new board rule? Streams were readily linked too last year, even by mods!

Blimey, when you look at the squad you just realise how wafer thin it is - not happy with Given getting the nod especially against a Fat Sam team who will be knocking it high into the box.
