2-0 win. Grealish with a screamer and Terry with a late header.
My brother has offered my a ticket with him and my nephew in the Fulham end but I couldn't do it, seeing his little face when we beat them.  I'd feel sorry for my nephew aswell.

I feel it unlikely that any one is going to say we are going to lose on here, unless we get a stray ——— fan.
I fear the worst and hope for the best.
The media seem to be likening Fulham to Man City ffs. When they beat us at Craven cottage we had Grealish and Adomah out injured. We also have Grabban now who has had a big impact for us. I honestly believe we will be too much for them. I'm going for 2-0. And never forget WE ARE ASTON VILLA.

I think we have been very good for the Championship and it's been quite an enjoyable experiencing this winning thing but enough is enough and we need to be back where the real money is unfortunately.

2-1 so we can wave goodbye to Stoke, Baggies and Blues, two of which might find the Championship a bit too "rich" for them

I think we’ll lose. Fulham would’ve been laughing to themselves watching our matches with Boro - they wouldn’t have cared who they got based on that.

However, I also thought we’d lose the Liverpool semi and didn’t go, and was thrilled to be proved wrong.

Seen us play at Wembley 4 times (missed the Liverpool semi) and we have never turned up once, just people impersonating professional football players!

So I really have no idea what to expect, except the worse and hope for the best!

We have the division's mostest "been there, done that" player in our 26 shirt. We won't freeze. It's not going to be easy, it'll get hairy, nerves will be frayed. But we will win.

1-0, Grabban 67 minutes.

On their own patch Fulham are very good. But the game will be played on a pitch size similar to Villa Park. Also they weren’t exactly brilliant at Derby. It will all depend on what Bruce decides is the appropriate strategy for this game. If he goes out to win I think we will. If he tries to play the counter or grind out game I think we will lose. I hope it’s the former because we have the players for it. We have to play to win from the first kick of the ball.

I agree. We've got the squad to press them, and impose ourselves on their game.

As a point of order, and probably deserving of its' own thread, but what shirts is everyone wearing, bearing in mind the date?
