Aston Villa v Southampton Match Thread

[Malandro]

I'm more hopeful with Holman and Westwood back, not to forget Vlaar on bench.

[TheTimVilla]

No Bent in the squad... But Balsa Ron on the bench. I may regret saying this but I quite like Delph.

Repent heathen!

Ummm. I hate everyone?

That seems more palatable to an H&V match thread.

Not enough swearing though.  Must do better.

And you can fluff off, you silly sausage.

[Toronto Villa]

We need to start on the front foot and take our chances. If we start as we did against Wigan the result could very well be the same. Like everyone feels, Delph is a liability but the idea is that he will provide some protection to the back four and allow Westwood to push forward. And like everyone, I'm not sure what Villa we'll see and I'm bricking it...just a little

[N'ZMAV]

Delph to get booked. I might have a bet on it.

Well I've never been so offended in all my life.  How dare you. 

I want to like Delph, I just can't cause he's never once had a good game for us in 3 years.  Maybe today's the day. 

Must win this one. 

[Yossarian]

To my ears at least, fluff off sounds very rude.

[DB]

Delph to get booked. I might have a bet on it.

...and to give the ball away numerous times at first sign of pressure.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Absolute must win game today, come on me babbies!!

[Jimbo]

Just do it Villa.

I hope so. C'mon Delph prove us wrong.

And paraglide onto the pitch.
