Aston Villa vs Chelsea Pre-Match Thread

[Chris Smith]

I'm at ease with this fixture as long as we don't lose heavily. Anything from this match would be great. If not, oh well.

Just how I am feeling, we are a mid table side playing one six points clear at the top. Anything we get is a bonus so I am not going to put myself through 90 minutes of angst worrying about it.

On the plus side i'm selling on Trinity Road today so I won't have to deal with many away fans. Which is a big plus with that bunch of plastic knobbers.

[Axl Rose]

We're not expected to get anything from today but I've got a sneaky feeling we'll get at least a draw. 1-1.

That's the spirit saunders_heroes!

There are times when I completed agree, however, once the game is going, if we play shit I will be shouting my mouth off and letting them know about it. Just as I'll be shouting praise when a player does something good and words of encouragement for players capable of good stuff but it's not happening for them.

Maybe Bennett will get a game today, which means the very slightest, minimal mistake he makes that will have no bearing on the game, he will get berated by a lot of fans. This shouldn't happen, but it's inevitable, which is a real shame.

I hope for a win and the icing in the cake will be a number of controversial issues going our way and then in the post match chat with PL, PL tells Mourinho he needs to learn not to complain at every decision and that, in time, he'll realise that.

Important game for my 15 year old son.

Leon was planning to go with his Chelsea supporting uncle and sit in the Lower Holte for this match.

Tickets were bought, and everything arranged.

Uncle Sav died playing football a couple of weeks ago but his son, Dominic, will now be taking his place.

Does anyone one know the number I need to text to get a short pre-match announcement made on-screen at Villa Park? I would like to wish them both well today

[PeterWithesShin]

Legion has already said it's day tripper city round the ground. And a half and half scarf seller just wiped his nose on a scarf. Serves whoever buys it right.

[PeterWithesShin]

I can confirm it really is day tripper hell. Half and half scarf wearing wankers.

[Villa in Denmark]

Isn't it a coincidence that the smarmy one has started talking about Bertrand in the week we play them.

If that's the only lever you've got for your mindgames, you're backing a loser José.

Really hope we smash these cocky plastic c&%rd. However will settle for a draw with a dodgy penalty 6 minutes into added time that nobody knows how the ref came to more than 2.

Then watch the smuggest man in the world, either prove that he's a giant hypocrite, or boil away inside whilst not being able to bitch too much about it.  You know he'll just brazenly bitch without the slightest degree of self-awareness.

Oh and whilst we playing fantasy football. Two really soft red cards for Ivanovic and Terry.

Obnoxious bunch of shits from top to bottom.

With the other results going as hoped right now, anything today is a massive bonus. I'd like to see a committed performance and one where we show we are out to win. If after that we don't well so be it. Chelsea are a top side, but we can win today. Sit back relax and hope for the very best.

Nothing to lose today - i fancy a 1-1 draw.

Go for it Villa and give these plastic wankers a right good game, will Roman invade if we beat them Russian bastard

[BILL DE VALL]

I don't think we'll win but I'm hoping against hope
is that some weird mental condition ...or just being a Villa fan?

[pauliewalnuts]

Just don't let anything happen which could have an impact on us beyond today, ie a hefty score line

Or just being a fan of anyone other than the plastic twosome or Manure.
