  1. The last Villa player to score against Blues.
  2. I want a red, green and yellow away kit.
  3. I think I'd still like to see a starting 11 of Johnstone Elmohamady Terry Chester Hutton Snodgrass Hourihane Bjarnason Adomah Grealish Hogan And have a bit more of a dynamic bench with some willingness to freshen things up earlier than usual. Tuanzebe and Grabban to feature in that sense. Hopefully will stay positive and alert. If we keep our concentration and are clinical in front of goal we will see a 3-1 win with Bent getting their one when we already have the 3
  4. Preventing goals is as important as scoring them (At the other end).
  5. In my opinion, that's a fantastic three points against a very good Sheffield United side. Football is all about goals, so well done to Snodgrass for scoring a sublime one and congratulations to Johnstone for preventing a fair few. Two loan players I hope become permanent Villa players.
  6. The posts in front of the Holte can breathe a sigh of relief now.
  7. Johnson Elmohamady---Terry---Chester---Hutton Snodgrass---Hourihane---Tuanzebe---Adomah Grealish Hogan I'd put Tuanzebe straight in, get as many minutes as we can out of him, he was obviously brought in for a reason and the quicker he plays, the quicker he gels with his team=mates/ Bjarnason may be unlucky to lose his place, but if what's been said is to be believed, Axel should be of a higher quality than Bjarnason and offer more. I'd have Bjarnason on the bench as he can offer a few positional options coming on from there to inject some energy that may be required late on. Even with Jedinak fit I'd have him on the bench, ease him back in but also the same applies to him in my opinion as does to Bjarnason in comparison to Tuanzebe. Hopefully, we have learned from the previous fixture to stay firm at the back and with Terry being there that side of things should be better than the 2-2. I shall say 3-0 with Hogan, Grealish and Hutton finally getting a goal.
  8. Adama, Bacuna, Tishbola....all players I was excited about....
  9. Haha yes but I just want to see what the problem is, why he's disappeared completely.
  10. I think we should play him for three consecutive games, the full 270 minutes, just to see what's going on, I want to see what condition he is in - mentally, physically, emotionally. I just want to see what we're dealing with here.
  11. Snodgrass, Elmohamady, Adomah and Grealish are throwing the dog into the water and Hogan is cruising.
  12. In my opinion, his energy and mobility are what we need in that position but with more football intelligence. Although it looks like he may be sold, I do think we could do with him as a squad player because of his attributes and ability to play in a few positions. However, ultimately this is the area where we need a new signing for me.
  13. Haha yeah, Harry Herdy does have a good ring to it. Although....
  14. Johnston Hutton---Samba---Chester---Taylor Snodgrass---Whelan---Hourihane---Adomah Grealish Davis I think it has the potential to be quite an uncomfortable and competitive game. We will have to keep our concentration and composure. I think Millwall will have had a look at our recent games and will try and get as many set-pieces as they can to try and punish us. So we'll have to be wise to that, no silly fouls and clear it out for throws rather than corners when we can. If it is Davis up front, he's going to be in for a rough game and he has to thrive on that, bully the bullies, which he has done in the past. If he wins that crucial battle, the game will be a whole lot easier. If he gets plentiful amounts of support from those either side and behind him then the game will be more comfortable for us. I would put Grealish in there from the start because I think they may be scared of him and if he can make the ball stick and carry it about a bit, he'll drag Millwall out of positions as they chase him down and that could create space for Grealish to play others in. Need a lot of energy and resilience from him though, straight from the off. I'd keep Lansbury on the bench for this one for him to come on to give the game a lift. I liked the amount of energy he had in his appearance against Leeds with him topping it off with the equaliser. I'd like to see a similar performance in this game as I think we'll need a '90 minute performance crammed into a sub appearance' type performance and believe he's the man to do it. Also, having Lansbury on the bench could give us a few more options for substitutions. I think it will be 1-0 to us for a large majority of the game where we played solidly against a robust Millwall and then, with the introduction of Lansbury off the bench, along with maybe Jedinak, the game will go up a gear, Millwall will tire and we'll finish the game. 4-0 Villa
  15. I think if I ever got married this would be my wedding song. If the lady agreed of course.
  16. They're constructing tougher prams these days.
  17. There are sensitive sides to you @Paddywhack @lapal_fan
  18. That's good because I was not about to board an aircraft. Not enough leg room for me.
  19. I don't know how the match winner would get along these days He may have scored a brace that day but these days defenders would need one. (Ray Wood, the keeper that day, for all of six minutes. could attest to that) The first player to score in and win both English major domestic knockout Finals. Influenced by Appointed as manager in November 1936 following our first ever relegation. Within two seasons, he'd guided us back to the top flight. If only if someone sharing his last name could follow his influence. Yes, I know, anyone can read wikipedia but not for long if we don't all donate it seems. To wikipedia, not VIllatalk....although I'd advise all to do both...even though I've done neither....yet.
  20. The first, the last....my everything. 1956/57
  21. I don't think it's fair we have to play two teams at once, lower league or not. A definite sign of the 60-year conspiracy.
  22. It's up to the better members of society to keep up good standards and community spirit.
