Parky

Mahoosive 3pts. Nothing else really matters.

Time for a nice big cuppa.

Cabaye the sole creative spark. Marveux will be a big miss.

Bit nervous already.

Merson not the brightest tool in the box, but a tool all the same.

I like that as well. Anita and Cabaye have ball distribution way ahead of Perch or Tiote. no need for someone to be able to drop that bit to cover for our full backs ? Sissoko can do everything tonight - defend, attack, look sexy. He's proper box to box.

This is a very sensible post. However, when Agbonlahor starts running at Taylor from the half way line, and he backs off all the way back onto the goal line, allowing for Agbonlahor to square it to Benteke for a tap in, we'll all be raging. can't remember taylor really being done for pace, why should it happen now. if thats the case there's more chance it happening to colo. Taylor roams as well and scares people with his aggressive pointing habit.

Krul The Mighty Boosh Mbwia Colo Santon Sissoko Cabaye Anita Gouffran Marv Cisse

Cause he's rubbish and does an adequate job if called on for half an hour. Never a starter in my book.

Think Gouffran will start as will Sissoko. AP is always banging on about pace in away games.

Think Sissoko will make a big impact and Villa are shaky atm. I'm putting Gouffran in, just have a feeling he'll score tonight.

Drop Fletcher or Lennon.

I'm cautiously optimistic that the new vibe with the transfers and Villa's shaky confidence will get us a result.

Nailed.

I was using Rijkaard as stealth cover for Cruijff. Cruijff Director of football and Laudrup as coach. I would never sleep again.

We don't want to be selling anybody till the summer.

The kind of team we can put out now deserves a manager who can inspire and guide and let players play their natural game. That's all Clough ever did. Rijkaard would be awesome here, I really believe that.

Personally would start ALL the French tomorrow and Pards should plant the tricolor on the center circle before the game and 'come at me bro' to the crowd.

Oh yeah, its not like I called this or anything... where's Parky? Good work young Sewelly.

Left Hatem out for a long long time. cue replies about attitude, laziness, not fully fit.

He might do summat mad like start Shola.

Anita-----Sissoko ----Cabaye ---Gouffran-------Marv---- ------------Cisse--------- That looks very strong.

I'm not worried about Cisse at all. Cisse will start scoring as soon as he gets chances, I've got no doubts about him now the distraction has gone.
