    I found one or two myself but sky will chase them down and I just want to be able to record the game when its on, or pause live play or go to the red button and watch another European match. Its worth the money I think :)

    What have you made of our summer transfer activity?

    Mignolet and Toure both look like good signings and have plenty of Premier League experience. I can't comment much on the other players as I haven't seen enough of them but I definitely think Liverpool are in for a better season.

    Your all-time favourite Villa song?

    Our ode to Paul McGrath: "It's your round" sung to the tune of "Kum Ba Yah".

    One tip for away fans?

    Don't get the number 6 bus into Birmingham.

    If you were putting a tenner on it?

    Villa, 2-1.

    If we stop Villa's counter attacks we will win easily. The problem is stopping them as they are so quick on the break, this combined with our defense tending to be drawn forward to much when we attack leaves a lot of space for them to break into.

    Should be a good game, but nail biting at times.

    Here we go then match day is here, winning our first 2 games would be nice but Villa are good and we'll need to be up for this.

    if we score first it'll be interesting. if we score and they need to attack us then we can counter and we are severely under rated by many on counter attacking when you consider the forwardss and hendo

    I think its a draw 1-1 but i think if they get the first one we'll have to create something special to score.

    Is that a hidden reference to Aerosmith in your details Luvgonzo?

    Very worried we will lose today :(
    The midweek match will benefit them, as it still early in season, no cause for tiredness. There first two games have been against quality opposition, ours was not.
    They were robbed on Wednesday of a draw and the refs will balance it up :)
    They were robbed on Wednesday so will be up for it.
    It is their first home game of season.
    So i fearing for the worst :(

    Yep, only one to have ever noticed. I'm a fan of their early stuff.

  11. Our best two counter-attackers are never on the pitch at the same time; Sterling and Henderson

    Hendon and Coutinho are. I think they're the best two counter attackers. Hendo has bombed through a gap in midfield on to Coutinho's through ball several times. Including against Villa last season.

    You a Mama Kin, Big Ten Inch, Train Kept Rollin kind of fan, (personally i didn't like Done with Mirrors but not sure if that classed as early, toys however is awesome). Thought get a grip was their last real quality album, this last one, ( music from another dimension? Really not keen on )

    Just to go back to topic before i get blasted, I am not a Gerrard hater, but is now not the time to let Hendo start a few to boost his confidence and give Stevie a rest for later in season, as it going to be a long year for Stevie with England captaincy too, and i want us to qualify for world cup :)

    They started together against Stoke, my guess is they'll be both starting today too <ok>

    Unless BR's love child get's a game instead of Hendo - But Gerrard is a definite starter, and fully deserves to be.

    Club and country just different, if we shrunk the season by eliminating international friendlies and qualifiers. Then held a tournament every season in the time created by the reduction everyone would hold a different opinion. Country should be greater than club but in current climate you are right Lucas. It does not alter the idea of resting him though cause no matter what we think Stevie will still be England Captain and he still has a long season ahead.

    Never said Stevie does not deserve to start, but maybe give someone a chance to show what they can do, even if it play Stevie for 60 then switch, for a few games. Take it you not an Allen fan btw :)

    Who is? <laugh>

    The only reason I see Gerrard going off after 60 mins is if we're 3-0 up - and personally I don't see that.

    A midfield three of Lucas, Hendo and Gerrard is my preferred three. With Coutinho, Aspas and Sturridge as our front three.
