Even ITV's adverts are more annoying than other channels'

Feels like that doesn't it?  Showing the West Ham side first and now showing Upton Park and Trevor Brooking.

Can see what Roy Keane got for Xmas...

It certainly wasn't a personality or anything humble.

COM’ON you Blacks.

Couldn’t make the game, asked my mate if he’d be able to grab me one of the programmes, he got to ground to find they were all sold out! As are the one on the website. It’s very typical of Villa to not make enough available of a celebration of the club’s 150th year.

They're handing out free commemorative Villa News copies in the Lower Holte.

He's literally just got the job, it'd be stranger if they didn't talk about it.

Aaah. Not really bothered about the cup then.

Despite the talk yesterday of seeing it as a chance of the Europa and a chance to add to our history.

Mourinho and Pep - for all their many, many faults - took this competition seriously. And the League Cup, even.

We have probably one of the top 2/3 bosses in the league at present, which is a bit of an anomaly. Emery's success rate easily elevates him above the likes of Ange mate, the new bloke at Chelsea and the other chancers.

Yet we still can't take this comp seriously. Hmm.

So apart from Emi who does have a slight injury who else would you have started? Strange comment.

I personally would have gone with that 11 down the line. I can't see West Ham doing much that Martinez could deal with that Olsen can't

[Villa Lew]

Pleased to see Maatsen starting.

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

I was behind the goal and Alvin Martin pushed McNaught's arm up into the air.

that west ham team is beatable

I wanted Kudas down Villa as my Ghanian flat mate raved about him and said he is world class but he has been crap lately , watch him score a worldie now beating 6 players ,  the ref and the ball boys but seriously even with Olsen in goal we can beat these , we have even had to wear black as the cockneys have knicked our shirts again .

come on Villa....

Even Unai's got the anniversary hoodie on. Nice one, but Tim won't approve.
