The negative brigade are trying their hardest to get a foothold in this thread aren't they

i was thinking that as well, but then i thought the plan probably is to hit them fast on the break. They are sitting deep because Gabby is up there, if Carew was playing in his place I'm sure they'd play higher up the field.

Villa just can't get on the ball so far.

. Not much happened in the first 5, just sizing each other up really

I just don't understand MON, he's only just signed Beye, and by doing this is he saying he doesn't think he's good enough? I just don't get it.

:?

Agreed, as a tired defender the site of big John coming on for the last 20/25 mins must be terrifying.

Proof we don't read our own front page. Why I oughta I hadn't seen this on the front page so read through it with growing amazement that a blosers fan could have written something so articulate and funny. Must try harder. :oops: :oops: Brilliant! I suppose all it misses is MON marching everyone off on a pre-match visit to the Science Museum. Guardian (which often seems to call these things right) this morning has this as the likely formation --------------Friedel Cuellar----Dunne---Collins----Warnock Reo-Coker----Petrov------Sidwell Milner--------------A. Young --------------Gabby Good enough for Small Heath IMO, though a scarily new back four. Hope they've been practising together.. Just can't see Cueller at RB and that back 4 in general. Think it'll be, Beye --- Dunne --- Cueller --- Warnock

Beye to play again sha for me, L Young to get ready for the next match.

Hi Gen, no request, just wanted to say a big thanks for the work that you, Randy, Martin and all the others in the family do to make the club so special. Long may it continue.

If you could (realistally) plan how the game would go, what would you go for? 5-0 thumping? 2 nil down and win 3-2 with injury time winner?

Bigup yaself

It really saddens me that the question is even being asked. Of course there will always be some who will go against the majority. Its human nataure. But unless things go very wrong over a lengthy period of time it embarresses me to see fellow Villa fans questioning the best thing to happen to this club in a very long time.

It doesn't help us in this match, but if this Benitez turns out to be half decent he'll be out of the Sty in a flash come January. The best they can hope for is that he is slightly better than average if they have any chance of holding onto him.

I'm just tucking into a hotdog sausage sandwich. Yummy!!

Their other goal took a majorly lucky deflection to another player to tap into an open goal.

I have a couple of SHA fans on facebook (I know, sorry) and both of them are giving it loads about the upcoming match. What have they got to be so confident about?? **** knuckle draggers.

Professional job well done

Bizarre substitution. Why move a RW to the centre, and a striker to RW when he could have made a straight swap Gabby for Carew?? :S

3 wins in a week? That'll do nicely!!

GET IN!!!!

Because he doesn't work anywhere near hard enough to be a lone striker. He also isn't quick enough to be an outlet to quickly turn defense into attack.
