So they have any injuries?
Mikkel Damsgaard according the Danish press.

Him and their CB Ajer went off on 37 mins last week.

My daughter's first game since Villa 0 - 3 Palace.

You can all thank me later.

My daughter made her "VP debut" at the United game before Christmas. Was fearing she might want to leave after the fireworks, but no, 2 hours of unalloyed joy. Still buzzing from it!

Brentford's next three games: Villa, Newcastle, Arsenal.

No prizes for guessing which of those three the game-raising twats try hardest in.
Brentford "enemies" on the list?

Watkins didn’t seem to be in training from the photos earlier.

Do you think it's Villa all these clubs have got it in for, or you personally?

Arsenal. I don't think we matter on that scale.

I'm not ruling out either possibility.

Staying in the same hotel as the Brentford team. Strategic fire alarm issue at 4am it is.

First things first, no slow starts, going for a win, Tammy to score on his debut, Luiz to be a total rock in the midfield area, here we go.

3-1 Villa

I really hope our fans are up for it tomorrow. It will be a tough test, Brentford will fancy their chances against an injury hit Villa midfield. Expecting Tammy and especially Dougie to just hit top gear is wishful thinking.

Yep the last two home performances have been a bit wobbly. We need a collective big performance tomorrow.

Turn the Irish charm on Kelleher, Collins and their gaffer, the Artane Lindsey Buckingham. A few after-hours whiskeys at the residents bar should do the trick.

Pressure back on us tomorrow after those results. Any kind of win will do but I'm confident our new/old boys are going to do the business.
