I'm not sure he's been underrated by Villa fans.

Certainly not but the majority on here, superb player who has stepped up brilliantly this year.  He's the 2nd half of a strike force that I'd think will be worth £50m by this time next year.

It's an ideal game to rest players and give the likes of N'Zog and Bent much needed fitness and game time ..... I'd rest Benteke and Weimann.
I'd go for CNZ and Gabby either side of Bent for this. That's more than enough ability to twonk Bradford, with all due respect to them.

You've got to f**king joking about resting players for the most important game of the season so far.  Are you one of these mumpties who sacrifices cups?

 ... why not just go and support the baggies - I bet they're shitting themselves at having to play another game and possibly losing a place in the table as a result.

I suggest a read of the Site Rules followed by a short lie down in a dark room..
;D

Just been channel hopping on the TV and caught a glimpse on the parliament channel of my local mp Gissela Stuart  wearing a rather natty claret and blue shawl. Fair play madam, I'll vote for you next time round.

We got any idea of the line up yet? Wanna drop a couple of quid on it, but want to know whose playing before I do.

The Villa team are in the hotel I am staying in.  The Marriott  Hollins Hall. Seen few of the boys pacing around the lobby and in spa suite. The Coach ( not Culverhouse) is ready in the car park.

Bradford has some fabulous hotels. I find the view is always better if you close the curtains
