3 Prem games in a week so we will probably see Mings and Buendia back in the fold at some point .

I really don't think Buendia is in Emery's plans.

I think so too. He wi be offski in summer of not janaury

Think we have moved on from him now

3-1 Chelsea. They're looking good right now and us, not so much.

Hoping that I'm big-time wrong though.

He's going to have to be , think it's just match fitness. With games coming thick and fast he'll be playing his part in my opinion

I think Buendia is about on a par with somebody like Traore last season, in Emery's thinking. Thrown on if there's absolutely nobody else.

I think that we wil lose tomorrow, so we will have to win the next 2 or 3 to keep in touch with the pack.

Until we can learn to defend properly we will continue to struggle in mid table , even Brentford doesn't look a comfortable fixture now

True , it's normally a horrible niggly game against a thuggish team

Who was the ex-Villan who crocked another in Chelsea colours, Dorigo on Elliott ? And what was number one at the time? I'll give a random guess of Chesney Hawkes.

For random reasons, went to the Chelsea v Brighton game a few weeks back. They looked really vulnerable defensively, you could get to their back 4 really easily. Like a basketball game. Their goalkeeper is not all that. Slightly optimistic on that evidence. 4-1 Chelsea then.

Dean Saunders I think. Almost went to court . Horrific challenge

He didn't play for Villa when he made the challenge but he did when it went to court

In a wikihole following the Paul Elliot story I found out Ruchard Rufus, formerly of Charlton, is a convicted fraudster. Who knew?
