"The reserves are looking to build on a two-match unbeaten run in today's lunchtime clash at West Bromwich Albion [ko 1pm].
Kevin MacDonald takes his team to the Baggies' training ground for the penultimate fixture of the Barclays Premier Reserve League season and Villa will be determined to finish on a high.
Although four straight defeats saw Villa slip out of the title race, the boys in claret and blue gained some momentum with a victory over Liverpool at Villa Park and last Tuesday's draw at West Ham.
Second place in the southern section is still a possibility for MacDonald's team if they defeat West Brom today and then Chelsea at Cobham next Tuesday.
The fifth-placed Baggies are also looking to end the campaign on a high.
Keith Downing's side are on a six-match unbeaten run, having had a succession of draws followed by a 3-1 win at Chelsea on Thursday.
Villa drew 1-1 with their Midlands rivals at Bodymoor Heath in November in a match where Robert Pires made his first start in a claret and blue shirt.
Nathan Delfouneso scored after the break for Villa to cancel out an early penalty from Lateef Elford-Alliyu. "

They just play Kerbsies on the Birmingham Road.

They've upgraded now to playing murderball and germans by the garages.
Until the old woman rings the police anyway.

Directions to West Bromwich Albion Training Ground
430 Birmingham Road
Great Barr
Walsall
WS5 3LQ
Exit M6 at Jct 7, take A34 towards Walsall. Go past Holiday Inn (on right), continue along dual carriageway for approx. ½ mile, passing Aston University Playing Fields on the left.
WBA Training Ground is situated on the left-hand side, just before Handsworth Rugby Club and is clearly marked Aston Maintenance Depot.
I got those directions from a welsh academy site so can't vouch for them.

Osbourne's back from Sheffield Wednesday then.
That Tchoyi played well against us in the league game at Villa Park.

Dave Cooper could have gone with his son, who is of the Baggies persuasion

So Bradley can't even get a game for the stiffs now!
Or is he being saved for Stoke??
-
HT Baggies 0 v 1 Villa, Gardner penalty after a "harshly judged" handball by Downing (not that one, their one).
-
Why didn't Barry take it ???
-
0-2 Burke
-
Does he play up front with Hare?
-
We won 2-0.
Gary Gardner penalty and a low strike for the second goal (I forget who by).
Interestingly we were playing Warnock in central-midfield.
-
I think we played Warnock because some scouts were there and we want rid of the twat.
Houllier was there too and Gary Gardner was trying to catch the eye. He must surely make a squad before the season is out. Hopefully getting on for a taster.

Went to ground to watch reserves and was told. "you have to be on the list" so how does that work then ?

A player called Burke.
Not sure if I've seen him play before.
-
Any relation to Mark Burke ? a product of our youth from a bygone era

Fuck that, went to the pub instead.

Don't try and sound so cool you tried to get in for half an hour, checked whether there were any games at Stourbridge, then called the council to see if anyone was playing at metchley Lane in harborne, then finally when you realised that the pub over the road had Sky Sports News you popped in to to see if you could catch the Havant & Waterlooville v Dartford goals from last night.

Are you sure it wasn't "comedienne" Olivia Lee doing The Bouncer Bitch character for a skit on her TV show?
Sounds like the sort of thing she would do, saying that Bono had decided to attend and he didn't want any riff raff with upper case user names getting in.
-
Well done the Villa babbies
-
GED was there again, nice he takes the time to watch them
-
Mate of mine watched the match ............from his vantage point by the side of the 'cut' and
