PrintI'm at work and so will not be able to watch, but I'll be keeping an eye on the match via the magic of live text updates.Guess who's not on the squad!
Villa XI: Beye, Dunne, Clark, L. Young, Albrighton, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Downing, A. Young, Carew. Subs: Guzan, Heskey, Warnock, Lichaj, Weimann, Lowry, Sidwell, Salifou, Delfouneso.
Valencia XI: Eleven dudes who aren't named Silva or Villa.
UTV!

Anyone know if there is a good stream of this?
I’ll keep looking, but if someone beats me to it, let me know.
I can't get around the OpenDNS block but atdhe is generally solid

Ah ha!
All of my standbys were giving me nothing. Thanks!

Well, I think I have one
But it’s been commercials for 4 minutes. Here’s what I’m at now though. It’s working. Go here.

I hadn't thought of it like that.
Don’t tell Aaron. He hates the checks.

Perhaps he lurks at this site and can answer our queries.

Dammit, you know I am new to this.
I’d be as likely to say MON looks great today.

Ignore the troll.
He is just sad that he had to re-watch Spurs v Chelsea.

I submit 5-3.
We are predicting Villa’s record after 8 matches, correct?
by Robert Lintott on Aug 6, 2010 8:27 PM BST up reply actions
Just Premier League?
That’s West Ham, Newcastle, Everton, Stoke (away), Bolton, Wolves, Spurs and Chelsea.
Let’s see…4-2-2

I have it on in the background at work. I must have missed this one.

It was one of those ones that had clearly been filmed and aired in another country and just dubbed really badly.
In fact, I think all Just for Men ads are like that. This one was particularly bad though.
Heskey on for Carew, Warnock on for Dunne
If Dunney is actually hurt I will have to kill someone.

I think it is minor and his leaving
is most likely precautionary. With Collins injured, they can’t afford to take any chances.

Warnock (arrived at half time) and Heskey are now in.
The commentators are quite profuse in their compliments wrt Albrighton. To paraphrase them, they think of him as a creative “spark plug”. Dunne is slightly injured. Ashley Young has been underwhelming. One commentator thinks that Stewart Downing is in for a “breakout year”. Beye has played well defensively. The announcers have also inferred that Milner is gone, even joking that he might be in the lineup for Citeh when they play Valencia tomorrow.
Just relaying what the announcer mentioned ;).

Luke Young rolling around.
Do we even have another defender on the bench?

It should be illegal to show closeups of Steve Sidwell
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Aug 6, 2010 9:16 PM BST reply actions
Salifou.
That guy’s been through the wars.

DOWNING.... SO CLOSE
Well, since I’ve been warned off of Gabby, Downing is making a great push for my favorite player. He and Ash have both been great today.
You could get your heart broken by babyface.

Downing.
Just look at that face.
(I don’t think this is a real nickname; just one I use.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Aug 6, 2010 9:40 PM BST up reply actions
Oh gracious, he IS a babyface
I’m intrigued why he caused you so much anger last season

We're also going to do reviews of our starters next week.
But yeah, what Aaron said.

" thing isn't too irritating
(sorry, I had a button freeze)

Not at all.
Wasn’t so long ago that I was one of the new kids
