Aston Villa v Newcastle United Pre-Match Thread

[Bottom Right 89]

Smash hasn't scored for a couple of games, Gabby is on form, even Stan has his eye in - this will be a turkey shoot, 5 Villa goals at least. Newcastle are lucky to have points on the board and have big holes in midfield and a patched up front line - high tempo attacks from the kick off and lets have 3 before people start to drift out for half time refreshments.

Sorry if this has been discussed here or elsewhere but I've just read on the Telegraph that McLeish is presiding over our best start in 5 years! Well I never....

Don't we have the same numer of points as last season after 4 games (Six)?

Last season, W Ham W, Newcastle L, Everton W, Stoke L.

We owe them a tonking for what happened at their place last season. Come on you Lions.

And the match day starts with a packed two carriage train from Stourbridge.

Can I have some of what you are imbibing or have I strayed onto a Man Utd forum by mistake?

Whilst I hope fervently that you are correct, I find these predictions of four or five-nil to us totally baffling, particularly as I see us being pretty much on the same level as the Newcastles of this world these days. God, it hurts saying that...

We are the 3pm commentary game on R5 if anyone is interested...

You've become such a misery-arse Richard, even a months supply of Chris Smith's pick-me-ups wouldn't appear to change your mood. A win today and you'll maybe, just maybe start to believe we're not as bad as you think we are. Big game and we need a convincing result and performance.

2-0 Villa win.
