Gone a fiver on 4-0 Villa, Veretout anytime goalscorer. A grand profit if it comes in.

#YOLO.

YOLO indeed.

My fingers are crossed for you.

They will smash us though

Yes I am sure they have.  Sunderland they did I am sure? Kozak 1-0 to deepen the myth of his brilliance?

Never mind Kojak, the Goose has finally been dropped, the loud-mouthed, uncouth funt.

Its not so much that Kozak will/might score, for me its that he'll hold the ball up better than Gestede (who wouldn't?) And bring in to play the likes of Ayew/Gil and Veretout/Bacuna breaking forward.

Libor Kozak has battled back from horrendous injury. Even if he is crap he deserves his chance if for no other reason than he cannot be any wors than Gestede.

I'd have gone 4-4-2 and had Sinclair on the wing, instead of playing Westwood, but other than that, that's the team I'd have picked.  With the captain and our shit keeper on the bench, hopefully the rocket up their collective arses will pay dividends.

Glad to see Guzan dropped the prat, he's been a clown for 18 months now. Bacuna and Westwood still in the side is very disappointing for me though. Kozak thrown in, he can hardly do any worse. It was what I was hoping for with Lyden to replace Westwood on the premise that he can not be more anonymous than the crisp packet.

Richards must be half fit to not start at right back although his defending was appalling at Wycombe.

I agree on 442 with a winger Risso. Only issue is Sinclair hss been missing in action for weeks.

Spot on Brian.  I'm actually feeling a tiny bit less suicidal after seeing that line up, and slightly better disposed towards Mr Garde as a result. Come on you Villa boys!

Well done Kozak, now please be an answer to our centre forward woes. 100% commitment, an early goal a bit of luck and we might just sneak this.

Nice one Remi, I like your style, I like that your not scared of Billy Bollock footballers and your trying to erk out the idiots.

Come on! Win!
