Chelsea vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Smirker]

Friday 26th January, 19:45pm kick-off.

Long time to go 😭

Do you think we should go full-strength? Newcastle is straight after this.

Going to shock people here and say I think we'll win.

2-1 Villa.

Full strength. Batter them or scrape a win, I don’t care.

Inefficient. Choose Create Poll first, and put the thread title underneath with a post. Then it all gets posted at once. ;-)

Don’t think we’ll take this one as a priority and Chelsea have nothing else to play for so, 2-0 or 2-1 to them.

I've been watching football for nearly 60 years and it's a close call which club I have consistently disliked the most, Chelsea or Dirty Leeds.

All things considered I think it really has to be Chelsea. I never liked them in the 60s/70s when they were rubbish anyway with a horrible run down ground. I never liked them when they had loads of money and were winning most things. I still dont like them when they still have (or had ?) loads of money and are once again rubbish anyway.

I struggle to think of one single redeeming feature about them in that entire nearly 60 years. From being a cinderella club of underperforming prima donnas they morphed into the main flag bearers to represent everything that was wrong with modern football.

For that reason I hope we absolutely smash them out of site on our way to Wembley. Then for good measure do the same to them when they come to Villa Park end of April in our quest to become English League champions.

The biggest bunch of London big time charlies that it can be anyones displeasure to have to play association football against.

Chelsea have the League Cup too

This is gonna be the longest lead-in of a pre-match thread in our hallowed Heroes history. Hope it's worthwhile.

Greaves, Hudson and Zola were all worth a watch, and are the only redeeming features I can think of

with a horrible run down ground.

given the billions that have flowed through that club the ground is still a dump

Vialli was a good man as well.

They'll cheat and win

Tricky one for us, they are at nothing in the league so kind of need decent cup runs. Good game to bring Tielemans in from the start for 60 - 70 mins. Cash will come back in at RB. We are struggling for options apart from that. I think he will give Duran a go maybe up with Watkins though I'd try Zaniolo. McGinn definitely needs a breather so maybe worth pushing Luiz a bit further forward.

Cash, Konsa, Lenglet, Moreno
Kamara, Donk
Luiz, Tielemans
Zaniolo, Duran
