Aston Villa vs Chelsea Pre-Match Thread

[Dio1874]

3-1 Villa, Run like a girl to get his 202nd or something in the 1st half
then Villa to rip em to pieces in the 2nd

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm hoping we give them a game we are much better now than the 0-8
Look who played a part in that game -

Lichaj Clark KEA Ireland Herd Albrighton Bowery Holman

None of them good enough at this level and all no Longer in favour

Marc and KEA were unused subs, Bowery played 10 minutes.

[SoccerHQ]

Lichaj will play if Lowton doesn't make it.

Lots of articles appearing about Villa's "remarkable" recovery.  Gives me a feeling of foreboding about Saturday.

Looks like it could be sold out, wow a packed full Villa park. Should be a great atmosphere.

Still dont think we can win, but whatever, should be a great spectacle.

[Mazrim]

Of course we can win.

[robbo1874]

Get into 'em

Fuck 'em up

[Louzie0]

That's the spirit!

[devilla]

Does anybody know whether Lowton will be fit for this? I'd be more confident if he plays.

 I can see us winning 3 - 2, Benteke 20 (please, during Stan's minute),  50, Westwood 80. Nando 55, Ba 85.

Both of our scorers to reveal Support Stan T shirts under their shirts when they score.

It's such a perfect day......

[Duncan Shaw]

I want us to win 3-2 too, coming from behind, but with the winner coming at the death, from Gabby at the Holte End.  He will jump into the crowd and be mobbed, and yes be wearing a Support Stan t-shirt.  The emotion of it all will be so strong that the ref won't book him.

[Jimbo]

Oh and Jimbo, can you continuously slag off Gabby again in the Match thread. It works a treat.

I'm sure I could try, Rudy, just for you. Would you also like some help understanding the word 'continuously'

[VillaAlways]

Of course we can win.

On our day we can beat anyone.They will be right up for this game

[JD]

4-2 to Villa.

We will be 1-0 and 2-1 down but it will be 2-2 by half time. We are going to score an early goal in the second half and then Sideshow Bob will be sent off after bringing down Gabby who goes past him for the tenth time. Chelski with their ten men will press for an equaliser and we will catch them on the break in the 82nd minute.

Scorers - Benteke 2, Weimann & Gabby.

SSN seemed to pick up on the Sideshow Bob reference for the first time a couple of days ago, much to their amusement. Luckily their sports news is slightly more up to date than their humour.

It's not news, it's promotional material for their other channels.
