Chelsea v Aston Villa Pre Match

[nigel]

And they've omitted the star. The detail overall is something quite special, The Chelsea Lion looks like a dog smoking a pipe.

Their lion looks over its shoulder’s.
The head is facing the right way, but the body should be facing the other way.

[Baldy]

At the moment, too many if, buts and maybe's about trying to predict the outcome of this one.

Will wait for Unai's Press Conference and Footy's analysis before putting the head on the block.

Feck it, 0-1 to the Villa. Watkins 74 minutes, 33 seconds.

1-2 away win, Watkins and Buendia with a late-ish goal for them making everyone on here twitchy as fuck for the last 10minutes.

You sadistic pig!

[eamonn]

Quite right, it's an awful thing to predict, Paul.

I know, but we've not had a game like that for a while.

[RamboandBruno]

I know, but we've not had a game like that for a while.

Leeds at home back in January probably? I think Ads might have said it a few posts back, but Chelsea haven’t beaten anyone higher than us this season. Probably wildly optimistic or delusional, but if we have all the players we expect to available, so the two Emi’s and Donk, with an Emery tactical masterclass, i can honestly see another Spurs away.

                             Martinez

Young.             Konsa.          Mings.    Moreno

                         Dendonker.   Luiz

Mcginn.                                              Ramsey
                                    Beundia

                                     Watkins

[paul_e]

I did forget that one.


I was thinking of the everton game at the start of the season.

[Ads]

Kamara and Donk available.

[Toronto Villa]

Kamara and Donk available.

Kamara is possibly available if he comes through Friday. Hopefully now we can get 9 subs. Always have to factor the weird 2 keeper thing.

[pablo_picasso]

Im dreading this.

I absolutely despise Chelsea & everything they stand for.

I fucking hate losing to them almost as much as I do when Liverpool turn us over.

So obviously they are going to dick us 3-0...

[olaftab]

Maybe he'll switch Digne to Right Back...

With a sort of “Look son you’re shit at left back so how about trying right back?” conversation.

[The Edge]

The amount of people on here predicting a Villa win is a bit unsettling. I'm more used to us having gallows humour for a visit to somewhere like Stamford Bridge. So to give things a bit of balance I'm going for a low scoring draw. 0-0 or 1-1. So it will probably be 4-4.

[brontebilly]

Kamara and Donk available.

Kamara possibly more of a bench option.would be great to have them both available. No PL team should have Chambers as their first midfield option off the bench.

[DrGonzo]

I fervently hope that the last games played without Kamara has shown beyond any shadow of a doubt that McGinn cannot play on the right! He ia a different person playing through the middle.  Emery will play Bailey and Buendia, with Luiz McGinn and Ramsey starting in the middle with Kamarra hopefully getting 20 minutes if needed.  Would also like a cameo from Carlos.
