Chelsea v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Flamingo Lane]

Are the team likely to stay down there after this match?

I was wondering that.

I know we just need to get on with it, but it doesn't seem right to me that we've been handed two such away fixtures in the course of three days over Christmas (noting that none of the 'Sky Six' has a fixture against another one, over the course of the entire Christmas/new year period).

It's a win. That's what we do. 3 points at the Bridge, 1 point up the Arse and a Happy New Year all round.

I’m not going to the game, but my three visits to Stamford Bridge all had 8 goals.

Not that I was still in the ground for the 7th & 8th of the game 13 years ago tomorrow

Was that really 13 years ago? Remember it well. Our coach got bricked on the way back.

The juggernaut will roll on.

Yes. The plan is to go to Borough market on Sunday and do London Eye on Monday and maybe tootle along the Mall and Buck palace before checking into Convent Garden Travelodge. China Town for dinner later that day.

They need to be demanding of themselves as tourists.

I've heard they've all got tickets for The Mousetrap.

And you never let Legion on again.
