I feel a bit sorry for Bennett after doing so well last week. Must have a tough call for Lambert.

[Guest]

Me too, thought it would be wise to select him to give him confidence but I guess Bertrand is the better player

[Guest]

3-0 villa win I reckon .

Enjoy the game all - time for Sunday roast before kick off .

I usually only post during a game if its going tits up , so hopefully see you all at 6pm :)

[Guest]

I hope we can win the midfield battles, if we do, I'd be confident.

[Guest]

It's on telly here so I'll slip me multi tasking head on and post in here as well. Enjoy the Sunday roast. See you on the other side...

Strictly in a 'non-afterlife' kind of way

[Guest]

Enjoy your roast, Eastie.

Come on you Lions!

I think Bertrand in for Bennett is a good choice. Sure Bennett had a good game last time out but previously he has been more miss than hit.

[Guest]

True but Bennett was more or less a man of the match contender against chelsea.

Come on villa!!!!

Eastie, enjoy the roast

[Guest]

Meal finished - now for the main course - lets blow these stokies away :)

[Guest]

And we're off!

[Guest]

Come on Villa!!

[Guest]

Goal!

Benteke!

[Guest]

The Beast of B6!!!

Great turn and pass from Delph, too.

[Guest]

Got sat down just in time for that one :)

[Guest]

Afternoon chaps, just the start we needed...

[Guest]

I get the feeling that if we get stuck in we will hammer this lot...

Just keep Clattenturd out of the action, blokes a fecking clown

[Guest]

Afternoon, bud. I think we can do some serious damage, too.
One concern? Way to early in the game for KEA to be picking up a yellow.

The diving ref...

[Guest]

It's not often we get off to a start like this, get the crowd going, play with a bit of confidence and run up a good score.

[Guest]

It would be nice to finish a season with a positive goal difference.
