Chelsea v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[eastie]

If i drive to London i usually park at stanmore and take the tube from there.
Regarding referees i think Kevin friend is on duty on weds and against Liverpool it will be mark clattenburg.

Kevin is our friend though we reserve the battenburg for Mark.

Re parking - there is also a 24 hour car park towards the end of the King's Road, off Edith Grove, ten minute walk from Stamford Bridge.

I always park for free on Cheyney Walk (just off the river, heading towards Battersea) and have a mooch in the pubs down the Kings Road. Its about a mile and a bit from the ground.

We're going to smash the granny out of this lot as well.

Just Googled it, its a 1.2 mile, 25 minute walk, with two or three decent pubs on the way.

[eamonn]

Any of you going to be in the pubs after the game?

No, I've got a 208 mile journey back to the Narf.

Just watched highlights of the 4-4 at the Bridge a few years back. Cracking game but a reminder, if any were needed, what a weazily, slimy, cheating bunch of bastards Chelsea are. In the words of Kevin Keegan, "I would love it, LOVE IT, if we beat them!"

If there's one bunch of assholes I cannot stand losing to, it's Chelsea. They've done their best to play act and cheat and pressurize the ref, to rinse us out of a few results over the years.

Such a scummy club. Lets fakkin do them over!

1-1 for me, Benteke for us with Lampard getting a late equaliser.  Hull were truly awful and they still created a few chances when they upped the work rate.  I think we'll be confident and will go at the early on and really get in their faces, which you have to do against Chelsea.  I think Benteke will be determined to make a mug of Terry after last season.

Gone for a Villa win as I dispise this bunch of hypocrites with a vengeance especially Terry!

I think we MIGHT lose. It won't be a hiding though and we will remain in good shape to have a go at the Scousers on Saturday.

With a fair wind and a touch of luck we could win it.

[TonyD]

No idea.

Terry couldn't handle him at our place last season so had to resort to getting him sent off.  I expect him to try and do exactly the same in this game as well.

I think we'll give it a go but Arse were so dreadful I think Chelsea will expose our still fragile defence a lot more and not lose the ball in midfield really at all. Defeat for me I'm afraid but attitude is key - roll a positive attitude into Liverpool as they are ok but without Suarez not going to nail that many chances.

I reckon Okore will play one way or another. He has previous against Chelsea.
