Ayup folks

Would you mind answering these questions for our forum www.westbrom.com? A link with your answers will be provided on this forum on Wednesday.

1. What have you made of Aston Villa's season so far? I've been a little bit disappointed to be honest

2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis? They can both count themselves very fortunate the decent managers already had jobs at the time.

3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club? Bolton Wanderers

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year? Possibly only during the latter half of the year

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment? The 1887 cup final at Kennington Oval. We travelled down on a barge and one of my kids fell overboard.

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week? They could both be goalless. I'm really looking forward to the excitement.

Cheers for your time

Liam

1. What have you made of Aston Villa's season so far?
Absolute toss. I didn't think a regression was possible from last season but it's happened. We didn't exactly set the world alight with signings, but we brought in more experience which has had no effect at all. Young and hungry, or been there and done that. It's been no different under Lambert. The result is always the same. No discernible game plan.

2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis?
I quite like Sherwoods frankness. Is he the right man? I'm not convinced either way. We should have canned Lambert months ago and gone for Pulis. I think we're seeing just what he can offer. You lot looked dead and buried under Irvine. Now you'll finish comfortably lower mid-table and probably progress next season.

3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club?
Not always the most stable club. Often some strange decisions made (Irvine) but Pulis was a good call and you'll get a couple of years of stability. I think generally Baggies fans are more obsessed with what the Villa are doing than vice versa. Even when you're ahead of us in the pecking order you act like the smaller club, if I'm being honest.

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year?
Flip a coin. I think it's 50/50.

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment?
I think it was the 2-2 last season. We were 2-0 down and absolutely bloody awful. You were loving it, and we then snatched a couple of goals to ruin your day. Other than that a few Agbonlahor inspired wins in recent years.

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week?
I think we've more chance winning the cup match. The pressures off us a little. We can't hack it in the league right now. I'd snatch the hand off anyone offering a draw.

FI$*_R*DRgHUDGOEI$£+_)$^%$*FHSG&G$V)SJ

2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis?

If you swap round the timings of the sackings, and swap round the replacements, I think you can swap our league positions too.

3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club?

Maybe this is because I live outside the region now, but I never had the animus towards Baggies which some on here have (and have expressed hilariously well). I also have Baggie relatives, whereas I have no Blues relatives. When Blues won the League Cup it ruined my day - when Baggies stayed up dramatically that time I was mildly pleased.

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year?

Yes. Oh the men's Premier League? Oh right, then no.

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment?

Literally any win. We sometimes have decent games, but the funny moments don't happen as much between us as they do in other derbies.

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week?

I can't shake the impression that we'll either win both or lose both. Probably a draw tonight, then.

Would you mind answering these questions for our forum www.westbrom.com? A link with your answers will be provided on this forum on Wednesday.

1. What have you made of Aston Villa's season so far?

About as painful as expected, with even less goals than I expected.

2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis?

Tim Sherwood was appointed as we could get him straight away, can't blame him if he doesn't keep us up. I wasn't thrilled by the appointment though. That said I couldn't think of any available manager that I really wanted either. Knew Pulis would pick you up, he always organises well and makes teams hard to beat. His football isn't pretty, but he does the job.

3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club?

Technically local rivals, but they don't feel like it. There's not the aggro you get from Bluenoses. Had a great history and a few spells in the 1960s and 1970s, but after that a bit of a yo-yo club.

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year?

Odds against us I think.

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment?

I think the home win after being 2-0 down last year was the best, maybe Delph's goal for the individual moment though.

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week?

Can see it being a draw tonight and I'll go for us to edge it in the Cup.

Cheers for your time

Liam

1. What have you made of Aston Villa's season so far? A lot worse than I expected.

2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis? Sherwood has a bit too much to say, needs to get his team's football doing the talking. Pulis is a great appointment for any bottom half team. A few Villa fans turned their nose up when he was available, but he doesn't do relegation, Sherwood might well.

3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club? Started to dislike them a bit more in the last 4-5 years, before that wasn't bothered by them at all.

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year? 60/40 against us.

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment? Equalising from 2-0 down a couple of seasons back.

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week? Both win one, dunno which way round. We need to win the league game more.

When composing your answers, most of you seem to be forgetting that Albion supporters can only understand words of no more than one syllable.

1. What have you made of Aston Villa's season so far?
Woeful. I've lost count of the number of times I've thought that we should now pick up a few points and everything will look better, only to see things get worse. It's the result of years of deliberately financially shrinking the club, though. It's not something that has happened by chance. We should have picked up more points over Christmas, while Hull was the real turning point, for me.

2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis?
Pulis is a good appointment. We all know what he does and he'll have you mid-table for a while. Who knows with Sherwood. If he keeps us up, we could be reasonably well set. He'll certainly have a groundswell of support.

3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club?
I've got nothing against the Albion. I was one of the few Villa fans at a school just outside of Wolverhampton and one of my best mates was - and still is - a Baggies fan. We were forced into a kind of self-preservation alliance. Most of the other WBA supporters I've met have been really decent people, too.

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year?
If we don't win tonight we are in big trouble. We are now down to our last few chances.

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment?
I reckon it was seeing big Cyrille Regis pulling on the claret and blue.

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week?
The Villa. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

1. What have you made of Aston Villa's season so far?
There's been so many highlights I don't know which one to pick out.

2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis?
West Brom did the sensible thing to get Pulis. As others have said, I like some of what Sherwood says, but he does come across a bit John Gregory. Still, Gregory had us a lot higher up the league than we are now so maybe I shouldn't complain.

3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club?
I've never really had too much against them, but they do seem to have an almight chip on their shoulder.

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year?
I think we probably will be, but ultimately if we go down it will be thoroughly deserved.

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment?
I enjoyed the mentalness of last year's 4-3 at Villa Park. (Did we really score four real goals in one match?!)

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week?
One each: not sure which way round.

The four-nil cup game was enjoyable but as we were red-hot favourites to win, no individual moment stood out.

I don't remember us as red hot favourites as we were struggling at the time. They really fancied their chances in the run up and were giving it the big 'un. And then we smashed them a piece of piss. Anyone remember their fat twat with his shirt off in the Witton Lane? All bouncing around giving it the hand gestures at the start before vanishing as the goals went in and The Holte sang "Tango, what's the score" at him.

We were struggling as but they were just as bad one league below. Once Taylor showed Sean Murphy (I think) who was boss in the 1st minute and Grayson sparked one in a couple of minutes later, the upstarts were well and truly put in their place.

Sorry. Missed this one.

5. That last minute penalty and 3 points in the bag when Pulis thought he had got his draw.

1. What have you made of Aston Villa's season so far?

Tear inducing shit that has stunk out the whole league.
2. What are your thoughts on the appointment of Tim Sherwood & Tony Pulis?

Sherwood.  Not what we needed, but he might keep us up on enthusiasm alone.
Pulis - can't do better than this quote from Danish commentator at the final whistle tonight.  "Justice for football. You know what you're getting when you hire Pulis and it isn't pretty."


3. How would you describe West Bromwich Albion football club?
Sad and embittered. And the quicker you stop with that "We know what we are" bollocks the better.  The whole country knows what you are!

4. Will Aston Villa be in the Premier League next year?
50/50. which is better odds than 2 weeks ago.

5. What is your favourite Aston Villa versus West Bromwich Albion moment?
Brendon Batson helping us win the League.

6. Who will win both the league and cup match in this upcoming week?
Half way to the double.

I'd like to pose some questions to the baggies fans.

1. Why were your team time wasting at corners and free kicks at 1-0 down?

2. What pocket did Lescott have Agbonlahor in?

Anyone else have any questions they'd like to ask?
