Chelsea v Aston Villa
-
We meet Deathy's Villa team on Saturday. Predictions anyone?
A 2-0 home win
-
villa is very strong this season, i think 1-0.. coming back from bulgaria i hope not fatigue..
-
I think 2-1 win at home. Maybe Shevchenko to score his 2nd goal of the season and another one coming from midfield...say...Robben or Lampard.
-
Comfortable 2 - 0 Win
Drogba And Robben To Score -
Luke moore to score three goals in three games in chelsea!!!
Angel to repeat wonder goal in 2003 carling cup tie against chelsea!!!
2-0 to the villa!!!!!
-
Martin O'Neill to pull one up over Mourinho....that's my bet.

Villa boss O'Neill: More to Mourinho than Abramovich chequebook
tribalfooball.com - September 29, 2006
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill insists there's more to Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho than Roman Abramovich's chequebook.
O'Neill, whose Celtic side were beaten by Mourinho's Porto in the 2003 UEFA Cup final, said: "Jose has proved himself to be a top class manger. He proved himself in Portugal and he is proving himself at Chelsea.
"While we all think we'd like the best players available, you still have to go and manage them and he's proved capable of doing it.
"Chelsea are a terrific side. They are going for a third consecutive league title, have not lost at Stamford Bridge for so long, and they have set such a high standard. They make winning games a habit.
"I have nothing but admiration for the top managers in the game - Jose, Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez. They have all done it."
O'Neill does not believe new Villa owner Randy Lerner will splash out money in the same way as Chelsea counterpart Roman Abramovich, but insists he has no complaints about the London club adopting that approach.
He said: "I've seen some quotes from people trying to stir it up a bit with Mourinho about me saying 'we are not going down the Chelsea way.'
"What I said is I don't see Randy Lerner adopting the same approach. I didn't say the Chelsea way was wrong." -

and tell me what wright-phillips doing
WE NEED JOE COLE !!!!!!
AND DROP SHEVA AND dun play phillips
Play Joe Cole or ballack or kalou in place of sheva
-
kalou has duck legs man.. the way he runs, and the chance he had, when the ball bounce to him, let the ball ski off his shin..
swp, knn 2 chances, esp the 2nd one open goal, absolute rubbish.. -
he's bringing the ball up for chelsea la, when he started doing that, den chelsea attack more..Originally posted by ghimpheng:can someone tell me what is sheva doing @ midfield ?

makelele lampard essien and wright philips will do that for him .......Originally posted by stellazio:he's bringing the ball up for chelsea la, when he started doing that, den chelsea attack more.. -
Seria A is different league to EPL, look at Crespo now.
-
only when shev drop deep to bring up the ball, did chelsea attack more..Originally posted by ghimpheng:makelele lampard essien and wright philips will do that for him .......
makelele doesn't bring up the ball much, lampard and essien yes.. but lampard has no pace..
drogba besides the goal he scored, hardly did anything, it shows u how tight the midfield was.. -
Graham Poll is really losing it. 3 yellow cards for a player in WC and now failing to send off Makelele for grabbing Angel.
Anyway, both sides played well and O'Neill deserved the point too. -

that one is linesman fault la, graham poll was behind and was probaly blocked.Originally posted by Rock^Star:Graham Poll is really losing it. 3 yellow cards for a player in WC and now failing to send off Makelele for grabbing Angel.

chelsea should drop SWP totally.
knn, his playing is so predictable. cant even shoot straight into an open net.
sheva was playing like a midfielder. he has to carve out chances for himself. this shows just how chelsea are in lacking a good midfielder. -
Looks like Sheva is having difficulty adapting to the pace of EPL. He's used to slow build-ups in AC Milan. Shooting confidence seems to be very low too.
