Aston Villa vs Chelsea Pre-Match Thread (Match Postponed)

[Risso]

I think every premier League game apart from ours should be cancelled. Ours must be played. And if Chelsea don't turn up (they aren't allowed to) we get the points.

Seems fair to me.

I wonder when they will officially announce tomorrows game's are off.

All Premier League matches have been postponed until 3 April because of the coronavirus.

Prem league officials meeting today, they love to protect the London clubs and will want their better players available.  Match will be off.  They key question is: when will they be able to finish the season?

[Border villan]

Bugger! Just when we were coming into a bit of form 👍

Pools panel verdict Home Win.

Pools panel verdict Home Win.

I don't think the pools panel met in person due to Coronavirus. I  believe it was done for the first time by conference call.

With all the postponements I can guarantee I have broken even on my weekend football bets.

Non runner, non runner, non runner non runner, non runner....

Yeah, this is so good!

[Steve67]

How can we go from being a complete bag of shit on the pitch to being such a classy outfit off it? If we could just find that balance!

[The Edge]

Fantastic stuff from the club. Probably won't get the recognition the club deserves. The media will probably put a spin on it something like "AVFC causes obesity crisis in the homeless community"

[exigo]

Reported very positively on the BBC.
Nice touch by Brighton to pay their match day staff regardless.

[Pete3206]

Right, off to the pub. Should be a great match.

I’ve seen very nice comments, like in Henry Winter’s column yesterday, on Twitter and on The Last Leg.
