Aston Villa v Fulham Match Thread

Stick you best player in the bench really gives the oppo a boost! Wish Kamara was starting and not playing next Thursday.

[Martyn Smith]

That line up both is and isn't what I was expecting, according to which angle I'm looking at it...

[Sexual Ealing]

I always felt that Steed Malbranque was the kind of player we'd buy, and one who would have been totally average for us.

[Crown Hill]

Atmosphere is a bit laid back and flat. 2pm Sunday isn’t a great kick off time.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Dropping Torres after a really solid performance in the week keeps him high on confidence and fresh for Thursday night. I'm not sure I would fancy him today up against Jimenez. Mings should be able to take care of him.

Great to see Bogarde starting. He's there on merit.

Well, I hope we'll be picking them off nice and easily today, what?...

[JUAN PABLO]

Garcia not on the bench I noticed.

[Martyn Smith]

Footballers talking about how much they love the Ryder Cup, or something. Dunno, mute is on...

Agreed. Jiminez gave Torres a roughing up not too long back. I don't think we have many goals in us, so need to be able to deal with that physicality.

[Martyn Smith]

Martinez and Leno enjoy a little, no doubt nostalgic, hug and chat...

How come Fulham have white shorts on? I thought the rules were both teams had different colours on?

Same against Newcastle, seems to be a thing this season!

[Nelly]

Afternoon all - up the f'n Villa!

[Martyn Smith]

Alex Iwobi, my personal would have signed him on the basis of having played well against us pick

[Martyn Smith]

Lovely turn from Guessand there. Unfortunately Ollie's old lack of offside judgement seems to be back...
