Chelsea v Aston Villa pre-match thread

[olaftab]

I don't think the trial period is free any more.

99P and only for a week.

I think we are a few days too late and they had their slip against Wet Spam.  Can't see them losing two at home in a row.

This is where I am as well.

I'm going this one and just to let you all know  I've not seen Villa lose away from home in 5 years. Yep, 5 years and 2 matches. A pretty impressive record, I'm sure you'll agree.

The BBC LIve Update page basically has that press conference as,

'Dean how wonderful it is that Terry is going back to the Bridge',
'Yes he's great for us, will be  top manager'

And three pages on fucking Liverpool. I hate the BBC more and more.

I had to switch that off. You have to admire Smith not saying something about it.
It must be very frustrating.

Surprised they didn't get in a dig at Corbyn...

Do you really have to bring irrelevant politics into this thread?

Enjoyed the ballsy answer to the 'Grealish to XYZ?' question. Essentially he said 'our owners are minted. He loves the Villa. You can all fuck off.'

Haven't Chelsea been better away from home this season?  Their defence looks like they can be got at, I don't think a point is out of the question.

I just wanted to join in the dig at the BBC. 😥

Sorry.

Sorry.

It’s not irrelevant as it’s talking about BBC bias, citing another (correctly IMO) perceived example of it.

Chelsea probably slight favourites, but if we can hit the same form as last weekend then we have nothing to fear. Should be another entertaining game to watch. Tough one to predict- I’m going 2-2 again.

I haven't really seen that much of Chelsea this season but I don't think a big win against one of the top few sides is too far away. If we go their with the same belief we did on Sunday, then who knows.

Come on Villa boys. A quick start and an early goal (or two?) And they will lose confidence very quickly especially having lost to west spam at the weekend. Thanks Tammy for everything, but if you play no goals against the Villa please! UTV!

Get your money on then, Chelsea are not slight favourites, they are massive favourites.  You can get 10-1 on Villa to win and 5-1 the draw.

FFS, people see what they want to see.  Just leave politics out of it.
