Thought Josh King looked superb early in the season Franky, but seems to have been quiet in the second half.

A sunny afternoon out on the banks of the Thames, the team riding high, on the cusp of the CL and a European semi-final to look forward too. Perfect for everything to come crashing down.

Except it won't. Despite Fulham being relatively relaxed and possibly playing with freedom, I think our focus at this stage, driven relentlessly by Emery will see us to another win although tight, and we will concede.

1-2

I suppose it an age thing he was only 17 when he started the season, has been swapping with Emile smith rowe on a regular basis, Smith Rowe has improved since the start of the season so that probably the reason

Hi Londonfranky!

You lot will get something from the game we're meant to win to secure a Champions League place.

1-1

It's the Villa way...

We've won 6 in a row against Fulham since the Gerrard game, I fancy us to make it 7.

I wonder if Wilson will celebrate when he scores against his new club.

I wonder if Wilson will celebrate when he scores against his new club.

I'm reminded of that time Wes Hoolanan scored and didn't celebrate because he thought he was joining us. Then he didn't.

[eamonn]

Haha, exactly what I was thinking.

Always good to hear from you, Franky.

Best of luck - from 2.30pm Saturday onwards!

I think he'll beckon Konsa over, then kiss Ezri's Villa badge.

Not sure about the "relaxed and playing with freedom" bit.  They might currently sit 12th, but win their game in hand (this one against us) and they go level with Chelsea and one point outside the European places.  I can't image they could be MORE motivated?

I'm hoping we have enough (and I think we do), but they are a million miles away from being 'on the beach'.
