Skerra who?

[TelfordVilla]

Risso can't play on the left. Surely he is right sided

[pauliewalnuts]

Looking forward to this





well, at least the first half, as the second clashes with the final of Traitors

You Traitor!

I'm 110 percent faithful. I swear.

I feel quite flat about this - lack of strengthening the squad (understand the reasons), key injuries running on, and some pretty average performances of late (albeit results have been ok) have just punctured my belief a bit. It would be lovely though if we put together a really strong performance and really kick start again.

Agreed, a revitalised performance tonight would be great with likes of McGinn and Watkins at it from the off. I thought we finished strong at Everton so really hope we aren't seeing Konsa back at RB again. Chelsea are in a run of good results but think we can and will dominate midfield again and at least bring it to a replay.

If we lose, i just hope it isn't a ManUtd away type loss . not what i need this weekend. Or ever again.

[Skerra]

Baldy, you’ve got me in my correct playing position so no doubt you saw me play about a hundred years ago!!

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Full tilt at this please Villa. A win tonight would be terrific just terrific.

Just picture SJM picking up the FA cup in May, I’ll quite happily retire from this earthly existence if it were to come to pass.

Have missed the curiously early poll close, but I have a feeling we'll be reconvening at the home of football Tue/Wed week...

Not on TV anywhere?

No it was moved late for policing reasons.  I can recommend a place called soccerlive.app that provides a service that might be of some use.

[Martyn Smith]

It's been moved because Fulham are at home as well and because they played Wed and will again Tue they have to play Sat

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Come on you Villa boys!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Should have scored there.
