Aston Villa v Chelsea Pre match

[olaftab]

Sunday 16 October kick off 2.00pm
Villa Park
So we take on Graham Potter's rejuvenated, in form all conquering Chelsea  this Sunday. For once I will be happy for our Steven to set the team up to nullify Chelsea and bore us all rigged for 90 minutes but not sure we can extend our unbeaten to 5 games. But there is always hope.

[Toronto Villa]

a good kicking and a ground full of boos.

2-0 Chelsea. Sterling and Mount.

What's the point? Ellis Out...Dr Jo's gotta go...Gregory's gone stale...O'Neill toys and pram...Dean too nice....when are our fun-times?

[Flamingo Lane]

It's ridiculous that this game has been moved for TV, when there were other games already scheduled for Sunday at 2pm, on account of European midweek games, any one of which could have been televised live, thereby keeping our Saturday 3pm fixture intact. Same goes for the Brentford game now scheduled for the following Sunday.

Maybe it will suit our new Bruceball style?

A brave loss for the boys, by 1 or 2 goals.

Our players are an honest bunch who are never short on effort.
Forces off the pitch unfortunately are influencing performances and results on match day.
We've not managed a win vs an sl6 team since Dean was here.
I can't see anything other than a Villa loss.
UTV!

It's getting increasingly difficult to come up with something to say really. The manager won't change his approach, it's up to the players, he's made that abundantly clear. An abdication of responsibility in itself that is worthy of the strongest possible criticism.
They will have more than enough, we will put up something of a fight but fall to a couple of second half goals as Chelsea register a straightforward victory.

0-2

I'm off to see PSB in Oxford directly afterwards so at least I have something to look forward to on Sunday.

Got a feeling he's going to change formation, there was a lot of 5 at the back chat last week

I think we will lose 1-0 or maybe scrape another dull draw. As an aside I’m in Paris when the games is on, so if anyone can recommend a bar that will be showing it please let me know. I’ve a feeling I’ll need the drink to get through the game.

[dorsetvillian]

Seriously thinking of staying away. I just have zero faith in Gerrard and his approach.

[Rigadon]

I can't say I'm looking forward to this one. 

[Skerra]

I think it’ll be more like 10 at the back!

[ez]

0-3. I wish they would stop putting us on telly.

[CT Villan]

We'll maintain our record as the most boring team to watch on tv. Lampard will score a brace and we won't have a shot on target despite finishing with 3 strikers on the pitch.

[Skerra]

Ok, who’s the joker that has us down to win, because to that you need to score goals!
