As requested, the thread on our forum. Feel free to come over and contribute to our thread.

Thanks again, you've been very welcoming. Pleasure being here.

Nah, we always seems to be taken down to earth very quickly when we feel we're on a good run. I'm not optimistic at all. 4-0 liverpool.

If Henderson isn't on song - and god knows what his legs are going to be like after this international break - then we'll be a much lesser team.

Hey guys, Liverpool fan here (if you didn't already know).

You guys always seem to play brilliantly at Anfield which has got more than a few members of our forum worried, especially with us having sustained a few injuries in this international break. I'm hoping for a good game, and I think Villa will make a much better go of it than Spurs did in our last fixture.

Thanks for all the answers so far guys. I'll put together the post on my side at 7pm tonight, so if anyone else wants to weigh in then you've got until then.

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good whatever-time-of-day-you-are-reading-this.

I'm a Liverpool fan visiting from our forum http://www.kopblocks.com. Before every game we try and visit one of the opposing team's forums and ask a few questions on the upcoming match, how your season is progressing etc. in order to try and learn a bit more about how fans in the Premier League view their teams.

I volunteered to come over here and talk to you guys because I've always had a soft spot for Villa and very much enjoyed the way O'Neill had you playing a few years ago. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a minutes to answer the questions, and I'll try and include as many people as possible in the thread on our side when I report back - which, when made, I'll link back. You're all more than welcome to come over to the forum and discuss the game or whatever else takes your fancy - we're always open to fans from other teams sticking around.

Without further ado, I'll get on with it.

Q1: This season marks the third year of Paul Lambert's reign as manager. What have you thought of him so far, and where do you think he could improve?

Q2: How do you feel about how your season has gone in the opening stages?

Q3: What are your expectations for the club in league and cups come season's end?

Q4: With the transfer season having just shut, do you regard your business as a success? If not, what more would you like to have seen done?

Q5: Are there any promising youngsters at Villa Park that could breakthrough this season?

Q6: If you could take one player from your past to improve your contemporary team, who would it be?

Q7: If you had your choice of Liverpool's squad, who would you take; conversely, who would you give away to us?

Q8: Liverpool had a busy summer in the transfer market. What are your thoughts on our dealings?

Q9: Where do you think the game will be won or lost at the weekend? What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Q10: Finally, what do you think the result this weekend will be?

Thanks a lot to those who answer - and especially to your admin limpid for giving me the go ahead to post this - and I wish you luck in your season.

Hi everyone,

Straight off the bat, I must confess: I am a Liverpool fan. I come in peace, however, to talk about this weekend's game. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Villa and have been at Villa Park on more than a few occasions.

I will try and step on no toes and stay off nerves whilst I'm here.
