We will lose in Moscow, within one week the season is beginning to crumble and the squad is being found out…
Im slightly disapointed with the squad he has taken to play CSKA – Albrighton,Bannan,Lowry,Clarke,Fonz will all struggle in such an important game but i suppose we can all see the reasons from O’Neill as in the last few games the players have looked empty…..
Come on you Lions and Sneak 4th – Have a horrible feeling we will just miss out thou as Arsenal will come good!!!

We have no chance. We will be missing that attacking flair and pace needed to get a result in russia. And i’m very dissappointed. Whos to say we will get fourth in the league. Heres hoping

4th is no good, we would still have to qualify which may struggle to do with the current squad- If we do not we are back in the UEFA cup again so where is the advantage in fielding a weakened team at this stage. I went to Hamburg, a long way to go to see a second team lose was bad enough. Imagine the disappointment of those travelling to Russia.

Put it this way the leagur will always out way any other competition as its your only ticket to any form of glory. We’ve already lost to stoke away this season so whos to say they can’t do the same again? I would much prefer Villa to be rememberd as the side that broke up the top four and smashed their way through the CL next season rather than had a good run in the Uefa cup, but got knocked outlate on also costing that vital fourth place because of how much work was being forced onto a small squad.

please play Harewood and Fonzie. We at least need a fresh Carew for Sunday.
