Quote from: Toronto Villa on January 04, 2018, 02:19:10 PMI expect us to win. What I am more interested in even with a number of different players in the line up is the attitude and attacking intent. Play with the same desire to get forward, create chances and take shots is a good measure of how we are going to approach things after Bristol City and hopefully the balance of the season.This is the thing wit SB. Too often after a great performance we seem to always revert to the dross we’ve become accustomed to. Approach, effort and style always seem to fall short. There should be no excuse for anything other than a win against Peterborough regardless of the side he puts out. Grealish should play if only to show the squad our style, approach and effort is based around him from now on.

Quote from: godzvilla on January 04, 2018, 10:19:12 AMDon´t know what the attendance will be on Saturday but one things for sure, it won´t begin to approach the 64,531 who ( literally !) squashed into Villa Park in Feb 1961. In addition, huge number of t Posh fans were locked out after arriving late because of traffic problems. In fact, it was reckoned , dubiously, I have to add, that nearly 10,000 were actually left outside. What a a day !, what a game !, both teams were great and the atmosphere was electric, the crowd was so compacted it moved and swayed as one unit, quite scary , in retrospect but thrilling at the time...........Aye, they don´t ave games like that anymore... more´s the pity!. In the end, of course, Villa won 2-1, with McParland getting both goals..........................Godzvilla!Remember it well. 2 of the lodgers in our house took me down to VP that night and we didn't get in ! I always thought that the attendance was around 70K ?

Fucking hell. I have just discovered that the useless Geordie fucker Taylor plays in their defence. I am far more confident of a cricket score now.
