Aston Villa v Birmingham City - Pre Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

I can honestly say, that I do not know a name of ONE of there players

We should win without any doubt, failure to win will mean that the pressure will mount on Bruce

*runs down the bookies to put a tenner on boyhood Villa fan and academy product Craig Gardner to score first......*

A transport issue for some to be aware of is that on Sunday the southbound cross city line will have a relapse cement bus service from Selly Oak to Redditch.

relapse cement = replacement (I hope!)

It is assumed that there would be  a minute silence  / Applause (probably best) for Ugo on Sunday

God knows what the inbreds will conjure up - disrupt that and it could light the fuse

I don't think they would disrupt a minutes applause, not even them.

It's a minute's applause before the game (confirmed on OS)

[levico]

I disagree, I'm almost certain they will disrupt it.

[West Derby Villan]

I don't think they will disrupt it either

[dave.woodhall]

Of course they won't.

While the result isn't the most important thing now, its how they play. And if they play with half the commitment that Ugo did, the game should be ours.

Apparently Fox Sports are showing it on Sunday.

Win this for Ugo, end of

[Villa Lew]

Ugo will get what he deserves a full VP paying tribute to him.

[Des Little]

I've just had a look at their forum (SHA) - I know, I know - and credit to them, they're being very respectful to the big fella.

Indeed.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Will be a strange atmosphere on Sunday, after what happened to Big Ugo.

Hope we have someone near Hogan, he can't hold the ball up as well as Kodija, so needs a player around him, like RHM, Grealish, or Adomah.
