Shhhhhhh, he's gone dark...........

I've just been over to enemy territory, Villa Talk, to see how the natives think the game might play out. f**k me, they are more negative than our lot, most seem to have given up already Comments below

Could really do with a win here, just to get me interested again. Fed up of the drabness.

Cardiff will pass us to bits I fear.........

I can see this being a long afternoon!

3-0 loss

Those thinking that Cardiff will 'park the bus' are being too arrogant. Why would Cardiff give us that much respect with our current home record?

Pretty nervous for this one... :unsure:

And my favourite quote out of all of them..........."Watching us defend Whitters' corners is going be like watching a blind man herd cats"...........

Be My 50th ground watching city.
I fancy us to nick this one 2-1

Hi roathy

As much as you'd love the return of your idol, I am not that Roath guy.

Last time we played them up there we had a tip off they were searching the busses for booze.so we dumped ours in the sevices behind a hedge.........as did many other buses......to pick up on the way home......WMP gave us an escort all the way to the M50 and miles past all our booze..........A dry trip home after a defeat, and some lucky tramp got smashed for a week.Also remember horrible burgers outside the ground..........started throwing them at each other , then shooting each other with the red sause......all grown up fun........some coppers rushed over then thinking we had been fighting

Andreas Weimann joins fellow Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury at West Ham last weekend.

Denmark striker Andreas Cornelius has returned to training with Cardiff after a long-standing ankle injury but will not be risked.
Manager Malky Mackay has no fresh injury concerns.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
This is the first Premier League meeting between the two clubs, and the first in the top flight since a 2-2 draw at Villa Park in May 1962.
Villa were victorious the last time the teams met - knocking the Bluebirds out of the League Cup with a 1-0 home win in September 2009.
The last league meeting was in April 1975; Villa were 2-0 winners at Villa Park and went on to earn promotion to the old First Division, while Cardiff were relegated.
Cardiff have not won at Villa in the last 11 meetings since a 2-0 top-flight victory in December 1954 (W9, D2).
Aston Villa
Villa have conceded the opening goal in seven of their Premier League fixtures this season, the joint highest figure in the division.
Home form continues to trouble Paul Lambert. Since he took charge at Villa he has won just 10 of 29 league and cup games at Villa Park, with Manchester City their only league victims this season.
Lambert has won more away league games (seven) as manager of Aston Villa than he has at Villa Park (six).
It is six hours and 15 minutes without a goal for Villa since Andreas Wiemann's winner against City on 28 September. Villa are also without a win in four games.
Cardiff City
Cardiff are the only side in the Premier League yet to lead a game at half-time this season.
They have earned back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since April.
Sunday's derby hero Steven Caulker has now scored as many goals in 10 Premier League outings for Cardiff (two) as he did in 44 for Spurs and Swansea.
Influential playmaker Peter Whittingham began his career at Aston Villa, making 67 league and cup appearances.
