It is hard to see a win for us at Chelski, on paper at least, but there's always a chance. Not sure about fitness after the illness last week, or where Vlaar is, but I'd like to see this: Guzan Hutton Vlaar Senderlols Cissokho Westwood Delph Cleverley Gabby Richardson Weimann Unless, of course, there is a shock Benteke return... but I know that's a bit pie in the sky.

Roy Keane is the only mammal with an exoskeleton.

In Roy Keane's reflection his eyes have no pupils. Roy Keane has only one large, flat toe on each foot. Roy Keane has written a series of erotic fiction where he is the only character.

His is the only name my mate ever got on his shirt, since then he's never had a name as he thinks it is bad luck... Probably says more about my weird mate than anything else though. Agree though, could've been great. I only saw Mustapha Salifou play once, in a friendly I think. The Togolese Terrier.

I think others have said this, but the 10 points we have is 10 points closer to safety. We need 30 more points, so ten more wins and we're pretty much safe. I wish we could be vying for those top spots or even getting 6th a few seasons running, but I think we're a mid table team this year (which is a great improvement), top ten would be amazing, and you never know.

How's sanchez playing?

Come on Villa!

Lambert never give Danish players a chance, does he? You think it's because he's Danish? Lambert did buy him though. You have to think why he did buy him then, if Baker and Clark is prefered over him Probably because he's still recovering from the injury, it was a bad one. We don't see Clark every day, but there must be a reason he's preferring him to Okore. I doubt it's because of something like his nationality though. The start of last season, before the injury, okore was first choice CB. Who knows. Anyway, come on Clark, UTV!

Hmm, Clark... He's not as good as baker. I'm slightly less optimistic now. Hope Clark has a stormer, does make me wonder why Okore isn't making the starting lineup though.

That muppet has given me a total of 1... yes ONE point on my dream team. About as effective as a dead horse on derby day. Wilshere... in the words of my work colleague is "dog shit." Over hyped nonsense. This should be easier than Liverpool. Still looking for legit sources of coverage if anyone knows of any? By the looks of it it's live on Arsenal Player... but I'm not 100% on it being full video coverage, rather than just a lame graphic. If anyone can point me in the direction of legit, HD quality TV footage I'd appreciate it. I'm guessing AVTV won't be showing it live. There is no legit viewing of 3pm kick offs in this country. Never has been.It's illegal to show any 3pm Saturday PL kick off in the UK. I think it was when they set up the PL, the FA thought it might make people not go to live games if they were all televised so the government restricted it. Doesn't seem to hurt Sunday attendances but I can't see them changing it. It's not illegal or the government, just a Premier League rule. But you're right about the reason. Ah, I thought it was illegal, vaguely remember a pub landlord being fined, etc. But I stand corrected

Ella Eyre (a singer I've barely heard of) an Arsenal fan, just said she's hoping for a draw on SoccerAM. She's not living in the real world; Senderos is nailed on the score!

Maybe he's showing the new people round... Or maybe just fancies watching some footy!

Had a dream that we should've won (can't remeber why, maybe a disallowed goal) but it was a 0-0 draw in the end.

99.9% of the time anyway

It makes us look like the buy of the century! Are they seriously asking that much!? I think Abramovich has spent just over a Billion on Chesea over the 11 or so years. Spurs are based in London and have a huge waiting list for season tickets. That alone makes them worth at least twice as much as Villa. So a less than a third of 1.77bn pounds. I think that figure is absurd. You'd think with the potential we have at £200m we're a steal. Being in London does add some value, and having a waiting list for tickets shows they're popular, but 1.77bn pounds just seems crazy money to me. Man Utd costs the Glazers £800m 9 years ago, when they were (and probably still are) the biggest club in the world. Adjusted for inflation that's about £1.07bn. I think it makes us look a good deal.

Big Phil to score any time (or first which ever way you look at it) and Villa to win 1-0 is 230/1 (bet365)… I think I'll stick a quid on.

Before the Liverpool game I would have said we'd be more likely to find a chink in Arsenal's armour, than L'plop's. But we managed to pull off a great performance and result there. I think the difference this year is we've deserved all of our results, not saying we didn't deserve them all last season, but we did manage some wins without a 'performance' as such. Anyway, I would love us to win this, it would be amazing. My head is saying loss though, but they're by no means unbeatable these days. A draw or a win and I would be very pleased.

Rodgers is thinking: "when was the last time Paul showed me that kind of attention... Maybe if I did something different with my hair".

Totally. When did that start!? Yesterday most called him 'Sondeross' when we all know it's pronounced; 'Senderlolss' I sort of got it in my head that he's older than he is, he's only 29, a lot of good centre backs play in to their early thirties (John terry, Vidic, etc.) so we could have him as part of a solid defence for the next 3 seasons. By that time the champions league money will give us a chance to sign ans attract an understudy

It's the first time in ages that I'm really excited about us, and about what we can achieve. The season will be hard work, and there will be much harder times to come, but even the most cynical of us must accept that things seem better.

Before the match my heart sank when Vlaar was out and Baker was in, I'll admit it. But I'm so pleasantly surprised, and couldn't be happier for the lad. He's got some stick over the last few years, sometimes warranted sometimes not, but today he showed what it means I be a professional CB. He stepped up and smashed it. Good lad. I think it's taught me to have more faith in the side that's picked, players are usually in there for a reason.

Played well. Disciplined and great movement and positioning. Really pleased he's in the side, I feel like we were strong today, and our midfield seems stronger with him than without. Well played Tom, like I said before, welcome to the greatest club in the world.
