So we're 7 days away from the Noses. Chester and McGinn potentially injured, although I'd expect both to start.
The hordes from Mordor will board their fleet of coaches to be safely bussed into Aston, while banging on the windows shouting Zulu.
Monk's lot don't like the football too much, as 30% possession appears to be the summit of their ability. Dour, regimented 442 sat deep with long diagonals to Jutkiewicz and Adams for flick ons.
Meanwhile the good guys will be playing football from.a different century.
There's been a progression throughout Smith's short time here for chance creation. Full backs are further forward, the ball is moving quicker, Grealish is further up and we're looking pretty decent.
First goal is always key and it won't come easy against the bus parkers from B9.
I really do fancy us though, as defensively they've looked dire the past two games. They've conceded 6 and we've scored 5, conceding none.
My team;
Nyland
Hutton
Chester
Tuanzebe
Elmo
Hourihane
McGinn
Adomah
Grealish
Kodjia
Tammy
I would actually start BB and Bolasie if fit, but I suspect they wont be.
If we're going up, we must be keeping up our good home form and beating these.
Villa win.
-
FTF in the strongest possible terms.
-
Same team as above for me - Although I wouldn't bring either BB or Bolasie in at this point given the performances of Hourihane, Albert and Kodjia during the last 2 games.
-
Win, don't care how just win.
-
I'm optimistic after the Derby performance, but this will be a very hard game and I'd be ecstatic to pinch it by the odd goal. I think it will be a 1-1 draw.
-
Even despite our fall of recent years, it's still been quite a substantial while since they gave us a game at home. I really can't see that changing this coming week. If Bruce was still here, perhaps it might be different. But Smith, nah, no fucking chance.
Comfortable win for us. 4-1, something like that.
-
2-2.
They have goals in them this year. Also good away form lately, wins at Leeds and Stoke and drawn with Sheffield United in last six weeks.
Their big weakness is Lee Camp though so probably will come down to who of him and Nyland is protected better from the back 4s dealing with crosses.
Hopefully the clean sheet at Derby will have done ours the world of good.
-
2-0.
-
Always too nervous to make a rational prediction. 2-2.

Would be surprised. Think the 5-1 and 2-0 last year are only times in last 10 years we've beaten them by more than a goal. All the others are usually narrow 1-0 wins or just a boring draw at the Sty.
I would've expected a resounding win more last year considering the joke they were under Wurzel Cotterill (they actually lost 5-0 at Brentford a week after we beat them).
Wouldn't say no to it of course but expecting a tighter game.
-
We are level on points with them and have a one goal difference advantage on them having scored four more than them but conceded three more than them. They have two goalscorers in Jutkiewicz (nine) and Adams (eight) so keeping them quiet would go a long way to helping us win. I think they have over achieved so far this season and are a mid table side at best. I think home advantage, new manager bounce and the fact that man for man we are better than them and have more experience in our side means we will win. Since both clubs have been in the Championship they don't seem to have raised their game against us like they did in the years when Bruce was in charge of them. I'm going 2-1.
-
4-0.
FTF.
-
Grealish will score a hat trick btw.
-
Can’t wait for the first of the unwashed to turn up on here.
-
4-0.
We've spent millions though of course so should be expected to beat them and they won't see a Viler up town all day, despite a 42,000 sell out.
-
I've a few nose mates and up until Bruce went they were quite chirpy about turning us over. I have to admit I tended to agree with them.
They've been playing pretty well and have nicked some good results so this isn't going to be an easy one.
I do think we need to score first as if they do I reckon we might struggle as I'm sure they'll go 10 behind the ball.
Just got a bad feeling for this game, think they might win this one 1-1
-
The new high-pressure, heavy-duty turnstile showers have now been installed in the away section ready for the visit of the great unwashed on the 25th....

I'd be tempted to keep in Hourihane as well, as it might make them less inclined to concede free kicks within range by kicking our forwards to bits.

I am discombobulated after a trip to London to see Killing Joke, but something is not quite right about Mr. Aftab's post, Shirley?
-

them pieces of shit will try to kick him off the pitch well before - no chance of them letting him score more than one
-
I think if we continue playing the Smith way we will destroy them next week both score wise and morale wise. Then it really will be a case of mind the gap.

Hate the game the shite around it, hate the way they make me feel. Couldn’t care less if after this season we never played for the next 10 years. 2-0 Villa

It would have been very nearly that a few seasons ago. See their commemorative DVD when they drew to avoid relegation to Division 1 (Division 3 to me).

3-1 home win.

Lets just get the 3 points then fuck the unwashed back to their sewage farm.

A bloke your age should know that we can never beat them “moral wise “
Even the 5-1 was a moral victory for them. They were playing against much better players and kept it to a4 goal margin.
On top of that, their little slap head full back stuck his fingers up at us plus they won the “we all drink in town “ trophy.

I seriously doubt it is genuine, but...

How very original...
-
Thankfully it can’t be reduced to 2 or 3 syllables, otherwise, it would probably find it’s way in at verse 333 of the very original but equally tedious kumbya chant.
-
Bolasie has announced he is fit to start. (Birmingham Mail) And I have no doubt Mcginn-Chester will be ok after more than a week to prepare. A month ago I was concerned. Today we look a different team ....3-0 Abraham-Bolasie-Super John Mcginn
-
I am extremely impatient for this match.
-
Actually looking forward to this for a change. Can’t see them beating us and think it will be comfortable... 1-1 it is then.
2-0 Villa.

An article in the BM today called "reasons why birmingham city fans love playing villa" It lists a pitch invasion after the Enkelman howler, a Stern John equaliser which sparked "wild celebrations" after their famous draw. And pictures of a grinning Paul Tait who's "still proud" of the fact that he pushed "Andy? Richardson" over the advertisement boards. Jesus wept! I don't know who's the most sad and pathetic. Small Heath or the Birmingham Mail.

If you hear them singing "We are top of the League" on Sunday and wonder why.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46220337
Football-related arrests in England and Wales have more than halved in the past decade, according to new figures.
Arrests have steadily fallen this century and were down 6% in 2017-18 compared with the previous season.
For the third consecutive year, more Birmingham City fans were arrested last season (95) than any other club in England's top five leagues.

How can we be 6 fingered sister shagging bastards as well as out of town country gents that do not frequent the hard parts of Birmingham but in fact come from the posh parts.
The only thing I am confident of is that we will be trying to win the game - and on the day that is all I ask for

I hate this fixture

Isn't that a Jasper Carrot quote ?
-
Having never lived in south-east Birmingham I'm really not that bothered about them. Of course they're annoying with their mental obsession with us. If they could only love their club as much as they hate ours they probably wouldn't be the so irrelevant as they are. They carry the city's name but have done nothing in their history to shine any positive light on it. I dare say we'd have been a lot more successful had we had real city rivals rather than just part-time supporting neighbours of a half-arsed club to measure ourselves against.
At least the Albion give it a go every now and then. As for the game, 3 points are all that matter.
-
2-0 Villa win.
-
They're moralizing about how we've only got results against them out of luck.
Small time twats.

So apart from the League Cup win when was the last time they beat us?

The "batter the smallest Villa fan I can find" quote sums up a number of their fans. If we outnumber you, and you are younger / smaller / more frail than us we will fight you.

Expecting the discovery of an erotic fresco any day now.

Pretty sure it’s 2005 at the Sty and 2004 at VP.

not going to lie, I love these matches
but this will be the first VP one I've missed for some years
my eldest has a 30 birthday bash on Saturday night with family and friends coming in from all over the country and we will be in no state to get up and drive on Sunday morning especially with the early kick off
so we are calling an open house on match day watching it all together and hopefully carry on the weekend celebrations
3-1

Feeling confident. We've certainly turned a corner and equally so have they.
-

They've not scored at ours in over a decade, Forssell in the 5-1.

Not going to predict any score, just hoping upon hope we get 3 points & Chester also McGinn are fit. Used to like the games of old against them from Barry Hole scoring there the season we went down, Leighton Phillips sending off game and latterly the Encleman incident where I think the rivalry went to another level. I missed the 5-1 through illness
would be nice to think we could repeat it, But with Smith running a more attack minded formation now it could be. UTV

Several years back on a lads trip to Blackpool my nose cousin took great delight in showing three of us Villa fans that Forssell goal on his phone. We pointed out that we weren't particularly wound up about the goal seeing as we won 5-1.

Be careful lads, the big bad Zulus on Twitter have said they'll be "storming New Street". By storming they mean get wrapped up by the police, sing a couple of nursery rhymes, all record it on their phones and then say there wasn't a Viler in sight.
I love Twitter in the week leading up to the game. They're comedy gold.

Am a damn sight more confident about playing that lot with Deano in charge, rather than Bruceosaurus.
The derby performance set the standard. 3-1 home win.

I know it's easy to get whipped up into bravado ahead of these games, but I genuinely feel we're about to take off and there's more chance of a genuine pasting happening on Sunday than there has been since the 5-1.

For many of you this will be your first trip to the city of Birmingham. A city that is a no go area for Villa fans on Sunday (apart from Sherlock Street) so here is a guide to staying safe on cup final day. For starters instruct your chauffeur to remove the 1982 Champions of Europe window decal from the Range Rover. And stop mentioning 1982 every 5 minutes!
As it's an early kick off you will have to forgo the morning grouse shoot and to stay safe in the ground it is recommended that you tell the butler that your usual attire of brogues and tweed won't be needed. Instead to fit in with the Birmingham City fans ask your gardener if you can borrow his scruffiest work clothes. Well I say ask, as he's an oik just tell him, he'll be grateful he can help out the gentry.
Walking to the footer arena can be dangerous on cup final day, so to blend in with the BCFC fans it's best to shuffle along and just grunt occasionally, imagining you are auditioning for a role as an extra in a zombie motion picture may help. Avoid anyone in a flat cap as they will be toughs, and especially avoid the absolute ruffians that will be throwing hand signs to each other.
Aston Villa followers have been allocated the Upper Douglas Ellis and the Upper Trinity Road stands. The Holte End is for Birmingham fans and is to be avoided at all costs. While in the ground, just to be safe, please refrain from chanting "rah rah rah we're going to smash the oiks" and "huzzah Aston Villa, huzzah".
Stay safe friends.

I do hope the train companies have put on extra trains from Solihull to New Street then, be terrible if some of the salt of the earth working class Brummies miss their cup final

Obsessed, more from the other side.
Every defeat kills me, every victory makes my soul soar!
If Im feeling a bit down (which I`m glad to say happens rarely) I recall Bertschins header, Trev`s late pen, stern John in the 90th min, Enklemans Fcuk ups etc, next thing Im bouncing off the walls.
In my (sad) life beating them is EVERYTHING!!
KRO
-
Yes, a very sad life indeed.
-
While looking at their forums isn't at all obsessed ;)
-
Considering we are a shit club with a shit ground and our fans are all 'fannys' who live in the past and who don't even live in Birmingham they do seem to get rather excited about their day out to visit us. If I ran Villa I would stick a claret and blue scarf on every single seat in the ground with the words 'Champions Of Europe 1982' on it.
-
It would only confuse them as it was in their diary a few years ago.
-

I look at all our opponents forums before we play them. Honest !
-
When a Stern John equaliser is one of your all-time highs, you should probably start experimenting with spice. Or domestos.
-
I think they've been over performing and we've been grossly under performing. Derby away was a hint of our capabilities, while their first 7 or 8 games where they could barely score and the last few where they've shipped goals for fun, is their norm.
They little 4 game run of spawny wins with 20-30% possession is utterly unsustainable. They're hard to break down, but Albion aside, I think we have way more heavy artillery and fire power going forwards than most.
If we have 70% of the ball, which stands a high probability, then we'll dominate territory too and have 18-20 attempts again. You cannot withstand that being as poor at the back as they are at present.

Polly has disected 6 cats and 4 frogs to make a broth of villa hate, we're doomed.

#BCFC The Zulu hooligan firm is one of the first large football groups to have a mixture of all races when formed #AVFC meanwhile had a black mascot named darkie........ we know where the class really lies in Birmingham
It's as if both things were happening at the same time. Also, the entire problem with 'Darkie' is precisely that he wasn't a 'black mascot'.
Apart from that, crack on, bellend.

Also conveniently forgetting the strong NF links their old skins had. And their black Danny calling cards.

Rags Mahone made it to Twitter it seems.

It's no wonder they don't like us being historians considering how much they try and rewrite history. Sad twats.

He's a thick ******. Should not have fed the troll.

I’m glad they’re doing all the talking for a change. This is the latest ‘if my uncle was my Auntie’ post.
The tragedy is that we should be about 12 points above villa if we weren't so impotent in our first 10 games.
-
Yes if they weren't utter shit they'd have more points.
-
They must be the only side in the world that would have been higher in the league if only they'd not been so shit.
-
Theres a thread on there at the minute about the new tv deal. Fair enough you say. But no they just cannot bring themselves to admit we are the most watched on tv. Instead confining themselves at how right Leeds are to be outraged. They just cannot accept bare facts ever when it comes to us.
-
They must be the only side in the world that would have been higher in the league if only they'd not been so shit.
Surprising really when they have all that pashun.
They really are flapping their gums ahead of this one. Gardner talking about how we must be nervous and how they're such a high quality squad...bring Sunday on now so these shit houses can be put back in their box.

85.5% voting for a Villa win shows how much we're shitting it.

For a fan base that doesn't do history they sure seem to know all about ours and bring up Darkie and the Nazi salute on a regular basis.

#BCFC The Zulu hooligan firm is one of the first large football groups to have a mixture of all races when formed #AVFC meanwhile had a black mascot named darkie........ we know where the class really lies in Birmingham
It's as if both things were happening at the same time. Also, the entire problem with 'Darkie' is precisely that he wasn't a 'black mascot'.
Apart from that, crack on, bellend.
I'm reluctant to ask but Darkie?
All I've ever known about it is contained in the photo attached to that tweet. It doesn't strike me as being particularly out of kilter for the age in which it took place, although judged by today's standards it's obviously shameful.
A bit like the Blues naming their firm after a southern African tribe because some of their number happened to be part of the Caribbean diaspora, of West African descent (but I'm right down at their level now so I'll stop. I'm not ever going to defend the 'Darkie' photo).

As far as anyone can work out it was one game in something like 1950 and no one knows why he was there, who he was, or anything.

I've never felt so confident before a derby match. win by 4 or 5 is quite possible here. Derby blew them away and we blew Derby away. Hull gifted them 3 goals, I trust we wont. Someone is going to take a thrashing soon and this game could be it.

We've turned the corner now haven't we so must be a Villa win.
3-0.

Nope I agree, I hate the Tracey Andrews song as well

Yeah, it's the sort of shit they would come out with. We have enough glories on the pitch to celebrate, we shouldn't have to descend to their level of glorifying fictional battles.

That is from decades ago.

I don't ever remember hearing those words sung at anytime and I know why. Aside from it being truly awful lyrically, historically inaccurate and moronic I doubt even the most attentive present or latter day hoolie' would remember it to any great effect to allow like minded people to join in.

You learn something new everday! I always just assumed HITS was just an innocent song celebrating/remembering all the people on the Holte End who've passed away down the years (no doubt the lurkers from the SHA forum will have a good chuckle at that...)
I've always thought if someone at the club had an idea to jazz up a chant and make it a sort of club anthem that would be ideal. That's me told.

Here are the lyrics of the original
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
Plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cries
Yippie I oh oh oh
Yippie I aye ye ye
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught em yet
Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cries
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul from hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies
Yippie I oh oh oh
Yippie I aye ye ye
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
-
The HEITS song originated in the mid 70s. I distinctly remember it being sung at Wembley in the 75 final.
It was only the chorus (as it is today) and I was too young to go into pubs at that point. However, a couple of years later, I began venturing into pubs and heard the full verses (there is actually another verse about fists of granite and coshes made of lead)
If Percy is about, he knows the full and correct version. I do know that "streets" should be replaced with "gate" which obviously rhymes with "fate" in the first verse.

My Dad's favourite song and that he almost always sang at family parties and/or when he'd had a few.

Robert Jones will take charge of the 127th Second City derby between Aston Villa and Birmingham City, Blues have confirmed.
It will be the first time he’s officiated a Second City derby and the first time he’s overseen a competitive Blues match.
Jones has previously taken charge of two Villa matches having been the man in the middle for their defeats to Peterborough United and Bolton Wanderers last term.
Jones dished out 132 yellow cards and eight reds in 45 matches last season, including two dismissals in a feisty League One game between Wigan Athletic and Portsmouth which ended 1-1.
A big name referee is usually selected to host English football’s most fierce derby clash with Mike Dean stepping down from Premier League duties to take charge in 2016.
Jones has never officiated in the Premier League and only made the permanent step up to the Championship during the second half of last season after learning his trade in the lower leagues
No link to quote as I got this from The Birmingham (formally Evening) Ma*l.
-
Good luck Robert.
-
Gary Gardner has been their best player this season, he will be missed by them. Maybe his brother Creg the Gargoyle can step-in and be outshone by Hourihane (aren't they quite similar? Eye for a goal, cracking shot but weak in general play?)
-
Great pre match interview with Deano.
A very interesting insight into his need to be in control on match days, such a world away from the previous manager.

I had no idea what is was about until I heard the Ghost riders song blasted over the tannoy at some point fairly early in Randy Lerners time. I suspected it was to do with departed Villa fans but that was a guess. The lyrics for the Holte Enders version are something that I might have found mildly amusing when I was 18 and had a few but they sound a bit childish otherwise. As pointed out it's something you'd expect from them.

Press conference is 1pm I think
I can just about contemplate say tuanzebe plus Hutton. Just about. Hutton and Bree would be perilous though!
We've looked vulnerable to some pretty simple attacking play of late - possibly a result of playing higher up the pitch?
Let's wait and see. I think it was Fulham away last year where everyone poured scorn on the intel that jack and Albert were out . .
-
This afternoon’s press conference should tell us a lot. The interview with DS shown yesterday was clearly recorded 2 or 3 days ago so things could have changed for the worse since. Fingers crossed they haven’t.
-
Chester and Axel being out would be a blow if it's true but like someone has already said, let's just wait and see before we believe what people on twitter post.

Can Dean Smith record all future interviews with a copy of today's paper in his hand? Otherwise I'm taking everything he says with a pinch of salt.

Can't bring myself to go on one of their sites, so have only seen snippets of their nonsense this week. Seems like it has been the usual fare in that they hardly mention the match itself and instead fire off their much repeated myths about Villa fans not coming from Birmingham, no Villa fans being in pubs in town on the day of the game, how many of them will be in the Villa end and how hard they all are (along with threats from the likes of that idiot and his mates on Twitter). All so predictable.

If there was ever, even the slightest doubt just how small time and obsessed with us the rags actually are, Monk spells it out loud and clear..

We murdered them under that bell end Bruce who had a one size fits all book of tactics. While I’m not saying we are guarabteenee to win under Dean Smith at least you know he will have thought things through based on what the Noses will bring and the players will be told how to beat them rather than falling on a bit of luck.

Thanks dude 👍🏻
I’ve obviously this afternoon gone back to my man to see what’s the take. He still insists axel was very very unlikely to play as he’s not even been in full training this week due to the knock.
I’m delighted it doesn’t seem to be the case but just sharing in good faith.
Let’s do these lot like we did derby UTV
-
Perhaps with the worry about Chester, they've kept Axel out of training to avoid the risk of him picking up an injury, rather than him actually being injured.

Where do you even start with that really? The worst part is all the back slapping he's getting on the video from all the big bad Zulus saying good one Ron like he's a returning hero. They'll claim that as a result these days.
They're the biggest bunch of hypocrites going. Everything they say about us and say "That's Viler behaviour", they do aswell and do it worse. Did anyone see the poem one of their fans did the other day? Cringetastic.
-
I’ve got a spare ticket for tomorrow now, I’m too scared to go now that Jack out of On The Buses is going to kick fuck out of me.
-
I hope his video doesn't go viral. Nobody would want to catch whatever he has got.
-
Not the best idea to put your face all over social media making statements like that. Stupid sad nose.
-
Looks like someone kicked the fuck out of his fringe ...lol
-
Imagine if he was a relation. Sad, sad, sad.
-
It couldn't be any more pathetic.
He's woke up, driven all the way from a Blues heartland, like Dorridge in Warwickshire, to record himself quietly gobbing off in our club shop in front of posters of Jack.
What an utter fucking gimp.
-
Love it, embrace it.For them it always has, is and will be about the Villa.Back handed compliment that he's driven from Solihull to our ground to make himself look like a bellend.I wouldn't even entertain the idea of ever setting foot inside the dog shit ground.
But then again I dont wake up frothing at the mouth about our neighbours like they do about 'da vile'
-
Blimey, talk about obsession. They really are infatuated with us
-

Like that nose fool who tweeted a photo of his ticket in the Villa end with #kro #sotv next to the photo a few years back
-
2-0
Pretty confident about this one. Monk's a good manager but most of their players are mince.
-
No wonder we never go anywhere near town on match day. Way too scary to think of bumping into someone so hard that in a near empty shop they quietly call a poster of Grealish a "c***" and then give it the big one in a car park with no one near him. That right there is why they rule the city my friends.
-
2-1
Tight game, niggly with a handful of yellows and a red
-
Doubt it will be straight forward but then Derby's very rarely are. 2-0 to us. Grealish and Chester to score.
-
Well it was straight forward last season and the season before that and I expect it to be similar tomorrow.
-
No idea of the result. Certainly not as confident as many fans on Twitter.
What I do know is that I’m going to hate every minute of it.
-

1-0 at VP was one of the worst live games I've seen. Luckily Gabby got his testimonial goal v them but we hardly created anything that day although it was a dead season for us.
Yeah last season home was comfortably enough after Sam Gallagher hit the post....

A little later than usual, but the Noses are now claiming to have tickets in our end.
-
There will be a few, as there always is at a derby game anywhere in the world, and they will keep quiet in the ground despite what they'll claim afterwards.
-
Is anybody actually impressed with away fans boasting about sitting in the home end? Unless they're 15 I mean.
-
Wait, that middle aged twat on the internet from earlier in this thread would be I suppose. Mental age applies there of course.
-
All I've heard for two weeks now is how they are due some luck against us for once, apparantly Donaldson missing from 2 yards, Adams skying a volley when there was no other fucker in the same postcode, Jota putting a 1 on 1 into the Ricoh Arena score board is all down to bad luck. Moral Victory FC at their finest.
-

They learnt their lesson after 03/03/03. Were loads crawling about in the North Stand upper that night. Even saw one guy after their first goal standing up with arms outstretched when they started chanting KRO, he got seen to 10 seconds later.
In fairness they've only scored I think 2 goals in their last six visits (and one of those was a consolation in the 5-1) so little big different to see if anyone goes up if they score the first goal.
-
Anyone got the shits or scared of the Zulus and got a spare ticket for tomorrow? Need one last minute for someone. I've put it in the ticket forum aswell but not many frequent that.
-
I love how as this game gets closer you start to see how desperate they are to beat us, it means everything. Apparently they have the Duke and tails are slightly high because mcginn might be out, nay bother put landsbury in and watch him get man of the match. ✌️

That really would be funny!
-
4-0 Villa, after the fantastic obliteration of Derby, solid win here, getting ever closer to the top 6, if we can get in there by Christmas, build further and its all to play for, starting tomorrow.

I love the optimism there. Fingers crossed!

4-1 to us. Tuanzebe to get a goal.
-
Can only see a win here. If not, where do we go for the rest of the season..?
-
Smash the tramps because that's what they are. Miserable, snidy, sneaky trampy bastards.
I hope it's cold and dank like it was in 87 when we did them, Bruno, Bruno, Bruno.

Naughty noo noos more like.

Couple of pre-pubescent little boys singing KRO and SOTV on the train from BNS to Redditch. Pretty good natured but am finding it hard to cope with. Obsessed
-
I'm amazed that they live in a tramp hole like Redditch. Really, i'm amazed.
-
A little later than usual, but the Noses are now claiming to have tickets in our end.
Only reason it's a sell out.

Half and half scarves everywhere tomorrow, so apt that The Holte will be 50/50 us and them.

they have been saying that since before I started seeing their shite team in 1975, but strange they sometimes they don't sell out at their lovely ground lol

good luck tomorrow
can see a draw on the cards though
will be watching in my local
missing the championship already

Only for another 5 months.

all about money up here shinny !
you will find out if you go up
no parity anymore
-
So the same as the years we were in there.
-
far more worse when you lot when you in the big league that's for sure shinny
yourselves, leeds and sunderland who i think are big clubs wouldn't survive up here in the current climate . wolves got lucky
forget the prem and stay in the championship !
-
It really isn't. It was all about money when we there, it's still all about money. The top 6 clubs are the same top 6 clubs it was then. Fuck all has changed and won't for a long time. The level of spending may have increased, but it increases every year. You make it sound like we've been out of there for decades.
I want us to be promoted but at the same time I don't miss the PL circus and all the bullshit that comes with being in the PL.
-
been talked about many times but i think an european league is the only answer shinny
take the top 6 out and let the rest compete
sometimes i wish we were in the welsh league .TNS here we come !
-
2-0, Abraham & McGinn. I hope to be told this by text when I land in Dubai 3 1/2 hours after the game should have finished !

Just leaving. Picking up my lad at Bristol Uni on the way. Like many I love and hate these games in equal measure. Lets hope its a good day for all in B6. UTV
-
Awake at this hour on a Sunday only means one thing. Get me in the pub to calm the nerves. Up the fecking Villa

Is anybody watching this in Baku at all? I’ve just moved here this week and feeling a bit lost!

You do know we spent 25 consecutive years in the premier league? Only 6 clubs can better this. The main changes occurred when the Arab & Russian money completely skewed things in favour of Man City & Chelsea. We're only too aware of this as we were at the heart of things when it happened. I agree with your assessment about today.I think a draw is a likely outcome but obviously I'm hoping for a Villa win. A draw will mean an open top bus parade in Brum tomorrow which would fuck my day up.

A bit patronising...
-
Chester apparently back. If no McGinn then Jedi should fill that position nicely. 3-2 Villa.
-
I don’t care how. Just get the 3 points and send them crawling back under their rocks for a while. UTV
-
Had a vivid dream that an early defensive cock up allowed the denizens of Hades to score early on, and then hold out for the win. Woke up thinking the game had already been played, it was that vivid.
Anyway, fuck that. Come on, Villa.
-
McGinn is the one player I think we'd really miss against this lot.
-
I reckon they will score first but we'll end up winning 2-1. Chester and Grealish with ours.

Don't worry love. We're loaded.
-
Not a great deal to fear from Blues in my opinion. They'll be up for it, Monk is a decent manager, and he'll have them prepared, I'm sure.
Whether they score first or not, I trust that Smith will have us playing exciting stuff and we will create chances, which is a great relief. We also have the players to bury those chances.
If McGinn is out, it gives someone else a chance to stake a claim.
3-1 to us.
-
They'll have pashun. So will we. And we will also have the overwhelming majority of the ball and a lot more quality going forwards.
-
It's nearly time to smash these barstewards, so let's hope we can put 'em to the sword from the off.
So 4-1 to the good guys & FTF's!!!
-
It'll be interesting to see who he puts in if McGinn doesn't make it.
-
4-1.
Abraham with 2, one for Jack and Jairzinho Hourihane with a late free kick special.
-

Same here, stuck in Aberdeen and the only person in the city who even knows the game is on.
-

Hourihane will just push a bit further on I would have thought and Whelan or Jedinak will come in.
-
Pictures of the players arriving. O'Hare there, would guess that means no McGinn?
-
McGinn is out. Whelan starts. From my ITK source
-
Quinton Villa
A ticket has become available at short notice.
You sorted?
-
Shame if that's true about McGinn, but we should still have more than enough to win the game
-
3 points, no injuries and that nose twat on Twitter is given a dodgy pie would equal a happy day.
-
Nothing less than 3 nil Villa
Otherwise they will take some sort of moral victory from it.....
-

Weren't you saying possession was overrated when we famously won at Southampton with 25% of the ball....
They won at Leeds with 28% of it.
-
Is Bjarni injured then, he'd be obvious replacement for McGinn.
-
Whelan starts. Good job Chester is fit as Jedinak also injured.
El Ghazi, Lansbury and O'Hare on the bench.
Edit: Thought Yannick might be from the start today but he remains our option for last half hour.
-

Whatever the scoreline they will take consolation in the fact there were more of them than us inside Villa Park and they sang all game whilst they never heard a peep out of us lot.

SHA gone 5-3-2 today. No Jota in the 18.

There's possession and possession. When we're having 70% of it and creating 20 chances, it's a bit different to playing the ball back from a goal kick.

Beating a table-topping side with those stats points more to a bad day for them rather than any tactical masterstroke by you.
Closer we get to kick-off, the more I feel we'll win to nil. They won't know what's fucking hit them.
-
The main risk is their front two against our generous defence. Even when we play well we give away good chances.
But deapite the stats and reputation they also seem to let in a lot of sloppy goals so if we can improve our finishing I reckon we could get two or three here
