First time post. Age 53 (going on 35) with claret & blue blood coursing through my veins. Will be making the pilgrimage to Villa Park tomorrow to exercise my vocal chords for the first time since pummelling Sunderland 6-1 due to a stint overseas & “domestic restrictions” (she's gone now so hope to be there more often !) Will be sitting in the Holte roughly where I stood as a lad for many years - can't wait ! Expecting a 2-0 win after a nervy start. Unfortunately I'll be going on my own so just wondered if any of you fine upstanding gents (or ladies?) can recommend a good place with a bit of friendly banter for a pre-match aperitiff ? Just to settle the nerves !

This one is a bit scary. A few weeks ago I was thinking it was one we could definetly win, but now they seem to have hit a good run of form, and on their day could really dominate us. I also think that the way we lost last week might have knocked the stuffing out of us a bit. But if we play like that again here then we should be getting something, hopefully a must needed win. Having said that I will go for a draw
At the back as Hutton is fit I suspect he will now go with Given Hutton Senderos Vlaar Cissokho.
BBC has decreed that 'Villa were unlucky to lose at Man City'. No we weren't. We conceded 3 shite goals due to pub league defending. We have to beat Everton because we have failed to win almost every other must win game.
