Another 8 days before this takes place.
This is the longest, most painful 2 and half weeks of non football ever.

I feel physically sick.
And me. Have been trying to blank it all out, based on previous experience of Villa fcuk-ups!  ;)

Looking forward to this as I have managed to get a ticket - it would be so disappointing if we fail to beat Preston

Tight game - 1 - 2

For once I agree with Demitri. As much as I love the Villa it's a nice break between two very intense periods of important games.

Personally I'm hating the long gap between games but for the squad/club I think it's exactly what we needed after a really heavy schedule in February and another rough month to come in April.

I use the International break as an opportunity to go on holiday & recharge. Hopefully the players that can, have done so too. We could be in for a couple of memorable months.

We should play Olsen in this.
I’m 51 and have seen us lose two finals in this, for a club of our size and history that really is shit. We should absolutely not dick around here with concepts like not playing Martinez.

You often do when it comes to the Villa. We've come with a health warning since you were a wee chap, you surely know the drill by now.

Always mate.

Olsen is so shit he got a guard of honour for keeping a clean sheet. Full strength and make subs if possible.

Preston have quite a few players injured, Cup Tied or Suspended amd obviously KKH can't play.
