John Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 On Sunday 2nd April at 12.45 we kick-off against last season's champions Chelsea at Villa Park. It has been a season to forget for them and one we will sadly not be able to forget try as we might. We do occasionally beat our visitors at Villa Park. We did so in 2014, 2009, 2007, 2004 and 2003. We will no doubt beat them at home again in the league but it seems highly unlikely it will be this season or next. Neither team have anything left to play for this season other than their pride. I rather hope our doomed team start playing for that and us from the start of April until this sorry season draws to its inevitable conclusion. A home win seems beyond us these days, a point would represent a triumph and I think many of us might settle for a defeat by the odd goal or two rather than 7 or 8. I look forward to seeing a sea of banners at Villa Park on 74 minutes. Try to arrange to have all of them taken down "Mr Custodian"! http://astonvillaprotestgroup.co.uk/press-releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2016 Chelsea are a team of bullies and have been for some time - I expect they'll relish knocking over a beaten team with one foot on the beach - I really can see this being a bad one - I'd take three nil right now and I wouldn't be too surprised to see a lot worse.

NoelVilla Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Were going to avoid this cause I think Pedro will score about 8 goals and the world is depressing enough without having Villa adding to that coming depression. I will tune on in the second half for the protests; wishing i was there joining in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hazard to return from injury and get hat-trick and 5 assists, this will be worse than the Liverpool game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted March 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2016 85-0 to Chelsea. Give or take a couple of goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Flip flopping on sacking the manager won't have helped the score line. If he couldn't motivate them before, try now. We are in for an absolute drubbing, again. I go for 4-1 as a flattering scoreline to us. Oh and #BANNERSOUTON74. Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted March 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I'll be rather optimistic and say 1-4. Edited March 24, 2016 by trekka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted March 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2016 I was looking forward to our weekly bumming, and find out we won't be getting any this week. Sad state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Gutted that I am missing my first home game of the season but need the holiday! 5-0 to Chelsea and expect to hear shortly afterwards that Garde has walked or been sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 12.45 k.o and a inevitable defeat. Sorry guys but I just can't face going up to watch the upcoming drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 6 hours ago, It's Your Round said: I think Hutton might have something to say about that! Journo: Well, Guus. A convincing win away from home. You must be very happy with your team's performance today? Guus Hiddink: Yes, well obviously I am. Alan has been excellent for us from both ends in defence and attack. His crosses consistently deny our opponents any chance of strike on goal, and I am also happy how he allows the openings to get our strikers a shot on goal. He does this all with such fierce determination! Also Brad in goal has been fantastic, throwing his body on the line to allow those deflections to go in. Also providing those wonderful openings on his near post too. It is no wonder he leads the comp in goals assist, and he can spit gum really far too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
