Looking more forward to the array of Oakwell legends due on the pitch for this one than the actual game.

130th anniversary and among the guests will be the likes of Barry Murphy, Darren Barnard, Ashley Ward, Bobby Hassell, Craig Hignett, Adie Moses, Eric Winstanley, Martin Devaney, Stephen Foster and Bruce Dyer. Also hoping Neil Redfearn and Ronnie Glavin make an appearance and Mick McCarthy makes his way up after the Ipswich game.

Icing on the cake will be Conor Hourihane tearing off his Villa shirt to reveal a Barnsley one. YOU REDS!!

Really looking forward to tomorrow. I live far away (well, 80 miles) from Oakwell these days so wouldn't usually make the effort if it's on Sky, but making it our 130th anniversary game as well as being against a big side with a raucous away following has tempted me to go up for it. Should be a cracking atmosphere.

Would be great to get 3 points, not least because I don't think we've ever beaten Villa at Oakwell, but because the last few games have been very promising and show that we're hopefully working toward something good with a brand new side. Villa haven't started particularly well and Bruce is seemingly on thin ice so will be well up for it, and I'm wary of the fact that they've some very good players who will click at some point and give someone a thrashing. Hourihane should get a great reception but hopefully won't do what we know he can do.

I think I'd be satisfied with another point on the board and a good game.
