Aston Villa v Chelsea FAC4 Replay Pre Match Thread

[Footy-Vill]

I've just realised that, for those of us not able to go to VP later, we have to endure ITV.   Shudder.

Won't have to endure Richards, Shearer, Murphy or Jenas though!
What can we expect though are Roy Keane and Kaz Carney.

[Footy-Vill]

There's talk Chelsea are going to 3 centre back and wing backs after conceding 8 in last two matches.

Ideally need space in behind to get best of Watkins.
It could be that the space will come in wide areas from the Chelsea wingbacks getting up the pitch if Chelsea want to even attack.

It's totally stupid to write them off. They have a lot of good players,who would perform way better under Emery.

When they click they can be a really dangerous side,and they've rescued in cup final already.

The League has gone for them so cups is all they have left.

Anyway, we are bloody good at home, have a better manager and team and despite all the injuries think we can do it. They will look to exploit our defensive line so I hope every player is fully focused and firing.

They're capable of playing some good stuff and beating anyone, they're also capable of looking utter bobbins and losing to anyone. If we turn up and do our part we should win as we're better than them, regardless of how they play.

I'll write them off.
And won't remind you how much better we are after.
I'm convinced Villa will put Chelsea away tonight

Who are all these good players they have ? They don't have a striker remotely close to level of Drogba or Lukaku. And their midfield doesnt have a Lampard or Kante.

1 seat in A8, 26 TV left. Should be a good night. 

Getting a bit peeved with this working away bollocks meaning I'm missing yet another one. I shall be off to the pub shortly where I watched us beating citeh. I like to think Saturday was us just getting our eye in, and Chelsea won't know what the **** has hit them. UTFMMV

Nkunku is decent

So they sold 54 of the 80 Terrace View seats in the last 2.5 hours. Good stuff.

He is.
Chukwuemeka will be keen to make an impression but I just don't think they have a team ethos like Villa or that much quality and certainly not on our level of organisation.

There's some curly headed tit in a mauve duvet jacket broadcasting from the slopes of Aston Park for Sky. I hope he stands in a freshly laid dog's egg.

Harsh. He was one of the folk "locked out" of Villa Park, against Ipswich "title-decider" '81.

Regarding the last minute ticket sales, it looks like after the serious breach last week,  Fortress Villa Park should be up and running again tonight.

Come on Villa!

Probably his grandad, who arrived too late after his shift at Stamping Alliance.
