Lovenkrands and Guthrie back. Campbell still not ready.

Villa have started with their reserves tonight, so first team will still be fresh on Sunday.

Probably will be unchanged line up. Maybe Lovenkrands coming in for Barton or Smith and going more 4-4-2.

In an ideal World - Lovenkrands for Nolan and Guthrie for Smith

Yup. Comfortably our best XI, if we actually intend to win a match.

On the plus side, we are comfortably ahead in the managerial department, ie we've got one.

Kind of.

Cant see Nolan being dropped so I think we'll be going in with this

Harper
Perch - Williamson - Coloccini - Enrique
Routledge - Nolan - Barton - Gutierrez
Carroll - Lovenkrands

I just have this vision of Nolan lumbering about, getting completely outstripped in the middle of the park, offering nothing more than the odd heavy challenge and far too often wandering up to their penalty box. Or is that unfair?

That sounds about right

7.30am kick off for me

Hopefully the Irish pub just along the road will be ( a ) open ( b ) showing the game and ( c ) serving brekkie

Oh no!!!
Lawro has you to win.

They must have chucked two pasties at him at Villa.

He was almost complementary. What's he playing at? Where's the real Lawro?

Fucking Lawrenson

Yes.

Didn't realise this game was on Sunday.

For fuck sake.

LOL. Me too. Was talking to the cabbie last night about football and he pointed out it was on Sunday. I thought it was 3pm today....as if!!

3-0 to us. first goal carroll second goal nolan third goal williamson

What channel is showing this?

ESPN

For fuck sake...

Get down the pub you tight fecker

Team is unchanged, Lovenkrands on the bench ahead of Ranger, still no Guthrie.

Villa:

Friedel
L.Young - Clark - Dunner - Warnock
Albrighton - Petrov - Ireland - Downing
A.Young
Carew

If anyone wants a link, Let me know.

Please ....

Yes please

Carew missed pen.

Harper lucky.

yes please.

Barton screamer!!! 1-0

YEEESS 2-0

2-0?? wtf I thought kickoff was at 2?


Link please..

3-0 Carroll!!!

I'd doubt any pub near me would bother their arse showing it considering the top 4 aren't involved.

Anyway I've a bit of a hangover.

LINK!!! HAHA!!!

Fox sports HD for a fiver!

Say thank you!!!

You have a link mate?

Anyone got a decent link? Mine keeps crashing?

Just seen your pm there, cheers mate.

sent....

It says it's not on air

Sent you a whole heap of links, If none work it must be your ISP.

great half.

Lookled nervy and got lucky in the first 10. Harper stupidly gave away a pen, but luckily Carew ballooned it and after that we got going. Beuty from Barton. Great team goal for Nolan's and fell nicely for Carroll's.

Barton has been brilliant in the middle, as has Smith and Nolan. Williamson again looks brilliant - reads the game so well, but looks a touch dodgey on the ball. Perch looks much better too.

We're playing much too high against A.Young which I think will get punished soon.

Jose has been mint, Downing and albitghtin(?) have not had a sniff in.

Cheers for the link Greek but the flashplayer seems to just refuse to fully install.

Agree with most of that although not sold on Perch yet. Routledge really needs to sort his crossing out!

Jonas needs to release the ball earlier though.

Check your pm's, If you have no idea what bit-rate means, the higher the bit-rate the better the quality.
