[eastie]

@MatKendrick: Villa subs: Steer, Clark, Bacuna, Helenius, Sylla, Tonev, Kozak #

Very strong bench .

[Monty]

Jaysus, the match-thread looks like it will struggle to get into double figures. What's the bench? Libor on there, I heard.

Steer, Clark, Bacuna, Helenius, Sylla, Tonev, and Kozak. Attacking.

Come on Villa, early goal and put these fcukers to the sword. UTV

[gervilla]

Come On You Lions.
We need to get some more points on the board.
I'm happy with that starting line up and yes, the bench is looking strong.

[gervilla]

I must say, I don't mind when Beelzebub is co-commentator, at least he can be quite complementary towards us.
Barry Horne and Tony Gale never have a good word to say about us.

[PaulWinch again]

That Newcastle side looks good to me, come on Villa please win.

[Smirker]

Come on Villa.

Afternoon chaps.

It's surprising, given how shit they have been for a while now, to see how many good players Newcastle have. Still think we might get the win though.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

That's our best 11 and bench for me.

[ozzjim]

I think Sylla has been really unlucky not to have started the season in the side, but KEA has done really well.

They are a much better side than last season, or popular belief suggests.

[citizenDJ]

I think I'd agree with that, although it still lacks a bit of flair in the middle. Good to see Vlaar and Okore starting together again, I'd say that's the centre-back pairing settled now, assuming no complete nightmares.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

I had a dream the other night that I met Gabby and got on really well with him but then he blocked me on twitter. I was gutted.

[PaulWinch again]

Nice football that led to that corner, but Newcastle have started a bit better than us.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to get control in the midfield, they're very dangerous going forward.

How is everyone following this game? I'm listening to TalkSport, but they keep talking about everything but the Villa game!
