Hope I'm wrong.

Sadly I am not even sure we have a punchers chance for this one...

We have to have hope, whatever little bit there is left

Only a fully committed performance will get us anything, either that or loads of luck. I'd love to see Chelsea get a couple of players sent off just to even things up a bit. 0-3

After Kevin Friend's performance at Stamford Bridge, we deserve a few favours from the officials...

Yip, but we don't often get much.

We need to go for then and keep them on the back foot. If we give them too much space they will rip us to bits.

Because we put our clocks forward here last weekend the game doesn't start on telly here until 10:30 a.m. this morning. So...bring on the southern nancies from the Bridge.

Let's hope the same Villa side shows up that hammered Norrrch... Chelsea (H) - Match Thread (Reaction Page 12) - Page 2 238524133

Not too early for a brew either....

Is.........the right answer. A cheeky bottle of Sam Adams Boston Lager maybe..?

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 4:17 pm

I'm hearing the we're 6-1 with the bookies just to win today.

Mine will be a dry day, I am working.

@MatKendrick: Villa (4-3-3): Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, El Ahmadi, Weimann, Benteke, Agbonlahor. #avfc

I'd have Clark over Baker.

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 4:35 pm

I've already worked. Currently in the pub. :)

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 4:36 pm

subs: Steer, Sylla, Holt, Clark, Albrighton, Lowton, Robinson.

Bennett in, Luna not even on the bench...

by villaryan Sat Mar 15, 2014 4:37 pm

Is luna fit? He'd be my choice over Bennett

Would be nice to bring Robinson on for the last ten minutes if we are coasting to a 3-0 victory...come on villa!!!

Mine too, but he seems to have disappeared out of the picture. Guzan mentioned him in midweek, saying that he could fill Bertrand's spot so I guess he is fit.

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 4:39 pm

Me too Ryan and I just don't rate Baker. I hope we don't give stupid free kicks away like we sometimes do when Baker sees the red mist.

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 4:45 pm

Anybody got any pre-match superstitions they would like to share?

By the way, this is your cue to make sure you haven't forgotten them!

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:23 pm

Every time I develop a pre-match superstition we lose the next game, leaving them void.

Getting close to Kick Off. COME ON YOU LIONS!

My current one is a lucky scarf which I bought when I went over for the West Ham game last year. I am convinced it kept us up. I was wearing it before we went on our bad run this season and only took it out again for the Norwich game (that was when I realised the extent of its powers).

I also wear my watch on the left arm when we are at home and the right when we are away.

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:30 pm

Big crowd at Villa Park

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:31 pm

Nearly a sell out apparantly. Hopefully the weather is better there than it is here, I was nearly blown away on my way home earlier!

by Guest Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:35 pm

Unwise challenge from Baker there. Not the kind of thing you get away with these days.
