Here we go...fasten your seatbelts.

[Richard]

that will do come on Villa boys !!

[Toronto Villa]

Nervous as hell. It's the most sensible line up. Let's do it for the gaffer today boys.

[Hookeysmith]

For the game ahead that's the best line we could have hoped for and possibly our strongest 11.
I'm sure SB has done and said his bit all week.

To the players - time to shine boys

Over to you

UTV

[CJ]

Happy with that. Feeling remarkably calm for some reason

[Legion]

Nervously excited.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Time to deliver. Ideal line-up for Tiny Penis hoofball. They'll be physical, ref will need to protect Jack as Clayton will no doubt try to kick him into next week. Stand strong, Villa and show your class in attack.

First can has just been opened, game on.

[PaulWinch again]

Straight red early doors please Adama.

[Matt Collins]

I’m staying off this thread today. Already nervous enough

Key tests today:
1. Adama - need to double up on him and terry will hopefullyy read his crosses when he inevitably beats his man
2. Counter their muscle in midfield - id have played Bjarnason over hourihane
3. Set pieces - should be well placed w Jedinak plus all four defenders are good in the air

Still have a horrible feeling we’ll lose this by a couple of goals; but I was nervous v wolves and blues and that worked out well

[Small Rodent]

I fucking knew it. The pub has got some fucking piss-swilling objects-up-the-arse let's-cup-each-others-slenders we're-real-men pile of absolute fucking crack rugby on, and not the Villa.
