I'm glad that I'm up an Alp instead of in South Wales

Anyone know if we are a commentary match on the radio?

I think Bennett has good skill and at the moment, looks better going forward than as part of a defensive unit.
Good luck to the lad. He stopped his car on the way into Villa Park, just before the Swansea home game in September, just to have a chat with my dad, who drunkenly shouted, good luck Joey boy. To his credit, he was friendly, was really chuffed about playing for Villa and talked until security had a word with him to drive into the players car park. It made my dads day.

I hope he goes onto be an excellent player. Good luck today Villa, I think we'll win 3-2 and it will be a nervy but enjoyable afternoon! up the villa, Albrighton to score.

A small crumb of consolation is that Wigan and Soton are at home to Man U and Arsenal respectively.  And Reading are away at Spurs.

So if we can somehow wangle a point today it may see us move up a bit.

Absolutely right. Can't see any of them getting anything out of their respective matches so hopefully we can pull away with something/anything from this game.

Please score first.

In the 89th minute....we might just be able to hang on then

What a shit line-up. We are like a man who, having just taken a series of massive punches in the face from a guy twice his size and weight, staggers back, reaches into his pocket, and pulls out...a miniature water pistol. With a crack in it. And no water.

[Risso]

Oh god, it's nearly time to kick off.

That is the first time I have laughed today.haha. My hangover is wearing off.
Cheers for that mate

We need some players to get the fuck back from injury and we also need some serious reinforcements.

Aha, appears we are on WM.

[Risso]

At least I had the consolation of watching all three Xmas games in NYC, so when the agony was over I could do cool stuff.  Back home watching a dodgy live stream on a windy and grey Isle of Man is quite depressing.

Five minutes to go, are we behind yet?

[andyh]

don't mention the 's' word !!

[PaulWinch again]

We need a miracle here.
