Them

Schmeichel, Simpson, Wasilewski, Moore, Konchesky, Mahrez, Cambiasso, James, Schlupp; Vardy, Ulloa.

News to me. I wish I was playing as I'd fucking guarantee us a win..

I hope it is you Richard and we can call you Agent Moore and you can do your best Ridgewell impression and score a few in your own net and let Benteke have a field day

Ha, I used to play at the back too, and to quite a decent standard. I've often told the story on here of playing in a team where Terry Connor, the old Wolves manager and once of Leeds and Brighton, was our centre forward. We used to wallop teams 6, 7, 8 to nil almost every week and he'd score every goal. I played alongside a guy called Keith Parkinson who no-one on here would remember, but who turned out for Leeds at centre half back in the late 70s

I remember him!  Had a few good games in central defence so I recall. Then cleared off.

Last chance saloon time for Nzogbia. Disappointing selection really, seemed the ideal game to give Grealish his first start.

Yes, he was a decent lad, not sure what happened to him. Terry Connor was as thick as they come, I think he was a chippie or a brickie at the time (which is not to suggest all chippies or brickies are thick!). Our manager was Allan Clarke who, if I recall, was managing Barnsley at the time but looked after us part-time. Hence the Leeds contacts with Parkinson and Connor and a few others in both our team and their youth team. I used to wear our club (Collingham) strip but with my Villa socks on as an act of defiance!

It's a tad empty here!

Come on, Villa, let's have a good performance for a change.

Afternoon all.  Looking forward to a win here, and hopefully some decent football.

I dunno who our groundsman is but the pitch must be one of the best in England, if not Europe.

[PeterWithesShin]

On the plus side my cheap ticket neans I have the choice of the most expensive seats in the ground as the UT is very empty.

Pat Murphy (? BBC Commentator, whoever he is) calling the attendance "rank".

Alan Green slagging off the size of the crowd - of course, he'd have no idea of the reason why as he knows bog all about football, the self-opinionated twat

You could play snooker on it.

Pick your part of the pitch well, and you could play snooker on it during the match and be relatively unmolested.
