The biggest banana skin in the history of banana skins. Just win Villa.

[Baldy]

Is it just me, but this game has a feel of the Notts Forest about it!!

Bournemouth on a bit of a roll at the moment, confident and will be no walkover. We need to come out the blocks fast, impose ourselves and piss on their parade.

1-2 to the Villa.

[AV82EC]

Yep think the Manager appointment is starting to take effect as they battered Sheff U apparently.

1-3 win for us, they have played better recently and are a very physical side but I think we have the quality to see us through this one.

[Aldridge Villa]

Unaccustomed as we are to such an approach away from home, playing with purpose and on the front foot in the first 20 minutes wouldn’t go amiss. Do this and we win.

[Villa in Denmark]

Thoughtful as ever.

They are where they belong based on sporting merit. Just like Luton.

The day clubs we don't want these clubs playing in the Premier League because the grounds are small is the day we can all fuck off to Abu Dhabi FC or Jaudi Arabia and just let wallet size decide matters.

With the loss of Kamara tempered by the return of JJ, we are pretty much at full strength. The managers know each other and it reminds me of the games against the old Wolfs Manager in that it's far from straightforward and could even be a struggle. As ever, I keep underestimating Emery and I'm going to do it again here with confidence that he'll make me look the plum that I am.

1-1

[LeeB]

He an interesting chap their manager, could be a junior Emery in the making. They didn't have the best start but I can absolutely see why they chopped an inexperienced, meat and potatoes manager like O'Neill for him.
