The injury news!

[aj2k77]

I wonder if they're over it yet.

They haven't even got over Keegans meltdown yet. The Villa piss taking is still too raw for them, many Geordie children are sent to bed and told to be good or the Villa will come and relegate them.

We've only won there twice in the PL era. The comedy sending off of Mary Poppins with Ian Taylor's equally funny reaction and the Bowyer/Dyer fight game.

first read and cannot disagree. add to the fact that their first ever PL away win was at VP. gen worried about this fixture hope to god for a classic Villa moment i.e. we kick SB ass when we up against it.

so:  "Come On You VILLAAAA!"

What I remember most about the surreal altercation with fisticuffs between Racist Rat Boy and Dopey Dyer was Gaz Bazz breaking it up and then saying after the match "Nobody wants to see that".

Jesus Christ was that funny.

Beeb saying Gutierrez is liekly to be back after recovery from cancer.  Without sounding trying to sound heartless, whilst I am please for the fella that he has recovered and is well enough to play again, we could do without the outpouring of compassion and supprt that will dobbtless happen, inspiring them to victory.

That said, there is more to life than football.

So vlaar Richardson baker and Senderos definitely out and possibly Hutton and cissoko .

Would go - Lowton Clark Okore Stevens

Baker isn't out. I reckon one of Hutton or Cissokho will make it at least.

Lowton Okore Clark Cissokho/Hutton (if one makes it)

If not:

Lowton Okore Baker Clark

I wouldn't want Stevens anywhere near the team.

[supertom]

I wouldn't want Stevens anywhere near the team.

To be fair he's not actually looked as bad as Bennett and Luna have at times.
But granted, I still wouldn't be very confident with him in the side.

[dekko]

Stevens is still at Doncaster isn't he?

[silhillvilla]

Didn't realise baker was back

[supertom]

Stevens is still at Doncaster isn't he?

I lose track of all the duds we've currently got shipped out.

[PeterWithesShin]

Stevens is still at Doncaster isn't he?

Yep and can't be recalled as it's season long I think.

[silhillvilla]

Can we recall Bennett
