I think we can get a result tonight! If we stick to Emery's game plan.  I trust him!! But, what does worry me is that we fold and let in a bucketful. We have a similar GD to Spurs..  it could be the deciding factor in the end.  So, hope for a result but if we get beat let it be low scoring!

Playing the reserve goalkeeper, Olsen in our case, is to give him a chance of playing sometimes! The outfield players can always get minutes but not the goalie!  Imagine if Emi M. picks up an injury... it would mean sending in Olsen "cold". I understand the doubts everyone has but he's next in line so let him play in matches like these.

At last!!! A 3 o'clock kick off!!!!

The nicest way of dealing with this would have been to announce it before the Brighton match and then everyone could have had a big love in with him at the final whistle !!! Would have loved to see his lap of honour 

C'mon guys. Give Olsen a bit of support.  He's been Sweden's nr. 1 for years.  Seen him play for them and believe me.. he's good!

Just played my pre match game of patience...

An if I win, we win, sort of thing... We're gonna go two up early in the match... 5-0 final score

Three up by half time then in with the kids ..  imagine he's expecting much more from Digne and that's why he's on. But not playing Olsson is a bit weird 

I live in Sweden and people here have been dying for him to get a chance. Olsson is Sweden's nr 1. He's good! Let's wait and see tho.  Could be rusty.

Am I right in thinking that he's left centre? Cause if so Chester can move back on the right.. Big improvement for me. 

Wow OH wow 

OH my god!!! We play football!!!!!! 

Wow!!!! 

We just dodged a bullet!!! 

Well I put The Blame squarely on Donald Trumps shoulders  

I'd start him at Wembley -he's the psycho kind that would just lap it up ... Grabban is Ok but really not that effective. I can see Kodja doing the irrational move that leads to a goal or two ... besides , he's got a Villa pedigree. He was our main man last season!!

great stuff ... Jedinak is a beast!!!!

Let Kodja lead the line at Wembley

Steve is on the cusp of becoming a Villa legend. Just one thing he must manage tho*  ... promotion. I want him to be a legend!!!

I think SB is on the way to putting himself into Legend status. To put together a squad of this caliber with this commitment is outstanding... it just needs one thing ... to go up!!!

Free kick for Chesters goal?

Right on!! An assist even. Love him!!! 

Despite NO goals or assists. Snoddgrass.. Man of the match... Heart on his sleeve.  Love his passion 

I think Grabbans gonna grab one ...

can't see this as a "breeze" - Burton are better than the name suggests and Villa are renowned for its stutters and stammers... so I'll go for 3-0 to Villa :-D

5-1 anyone ?

Excuse my optimism but I'm hoping S.B. puts out our best team and that we show what we are capable of. I get the feeling the pressure to win win win is hampering the team - today we "don't have a chance" so they might as well go out and play without fear. Tish will be revelling at the chance and maybe Westwood ups his game. I'm going for a big scoring match with Villa losing by the odd goal :-P
