Aston Villa v Chelsea Pre match

[chrisw1]

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

I think if we start losing badly it could get quite entertaining.  In a cabbage on the field sort of way.  The VP crowd can be quite something in advesity.

If we go five unbeaten I reckon Gerrard might bring back the death scythe meme from our Championship run. Maybe run across the pitch punching the air like mcliesh after that Stoke draw. I think we might lose though.

Crap manager with Action Man hair 0 Good manager we should have appointed 3

[Risso]

The manager who got fewer points than Gerrard over the same period last year?

[Brazilian Villain]

2-1 to the Villa boys!

Pegged back to 1-1 after an early Mings header before Archer comes on late to score the winner in front of the Holte, and our unbeaten run is extended to 5 games.

So you keep saying, and yet one is struggling to keep his job and has one of the worst loss percentages in our history, the other is now employed by a club whose aim is to win trophies. I know which i'd rather have in our dugout.

Should be quite comfortable for Chelsea but then again we said that about Man City.

[eamonn]

Hang-on, they don't have Lukaku anymore - he always did us. Maybe we can...draw!

Yes, me too.

 If the South American ten pin bowling bonding exercise goes as well this Saturday as it did last Sunday I can’t see anything else but a comfortable home win.

I strongly suspect neither of you would have been saying that around the start of April last season, when he'd just:


Taken 7 points from 11 games
Lost 6 games in a row, scoring one goal in the process.

Especially after an earlier period from September to December with no wins in 12 games.

And surely the ultimate sin, getting dicked home and away by Gerrard's Villa.

Another way of looking at it is that Brighton only lost 4 matches until that run in February (not coincidentally after they lost Dan Burn from their defence in that transfer window). We've lost 4 already this season.

And after that run they righted the ship W5, D3, L1 (to Man City in Manchester). Including slapping Man U into next week and winning at Arsenal.

[Axl Rose]

No chance here.

3-0 to those utter ******.

[sid1964]

Hate Chelsea - hoping they turn up with the attitude that they have won before the game starts

1-1

[maidstonevillain]

I would be quite relaxed with a thrashing.
If it means it is StevieGs last game.
There. I said it.
