Support your local team

The club of choice where I live is Aston Villa. There are a few unfortunates who support Coventry City, no one supports the Blews and there are a few Baggies. I know that most of the local Charlton are going with Villains today and I will be joining them on Christmas Eve for a party.

After three defeats in a row, this is a vital match for Charlton if we are to revive our season. Our record at Villa in the Premiership has not been good: a battling 4-3 win in our relegation season with Steve Brown making a vital save at the end a 0-0 last year. Otherwise, a string of defeats. However, Warwick University's Fink Tank has us down for a win. Our forecast is 3-2 to the Addicks.

The team should be pretty much unchanged, although I would bring Perry back and have Powell rather than Spector. Rommedahl should be effective against the somewhat static Villa defence. Ambrose should be included, probably at the expense of Thomas.

The local Villa are in despondent mood. Let's hope they still are at 5 p.m. this evening. Come on you Reds!

A very poor day, would disagree with the asessment of Murphy, when he came on he totaly justified Curbs resting him to the bench, misplacing pases or caught in possession, throughout the game after he came on, including losing the ball in midfield which led to their winner, although a few other mishaps happened on the way. I would have stuck to my guns and held the Silver Bone award over for a nother day. No one deserved anything against a poor Villa team.
