Don't blame me if we don't win!
-
Let's hope for a performance that results in this:

Oh, I forgot the necessary: Wednesday 29.1.14 7:45pm KO.
-
Oh, I forgot the necessary: Wednesday 29.1.14 7:45pm KO.
And the score?
-
8-0 would be nice.
-
We're crap at home. They're crap at football. Draw.
-
Gabby unlikely to play according to WM...not good if true. 1-1
-
We're fuck awful at home. They're fuck awful full stop. I think Benteke's hitting form at the right time which I hope will be enough to scrape the win. I think it'll be tortuous to watch but we'll get 3 points.
-
A must win..win or bust! I do not want to be bust! Come on Villa a royal flush for once..once in a long while.
-
3-1 to us; Benteke, Gabby and Clark
-
Gabby unlikely to play according to WM...not good if true. 1-1
He was meant to be unlikely to play in the first game as well but he ended up coming off the bench. I reckon he will.
-
This will be my second visit this season, at this rate I'll end up as bitter as the rest of you.
Oh and the Mrs nephew organised a night out on Weds for his Birthday. He's had to cancel because of the match. He forgot about the match.
He's Albion and he might know who they are but not when they're playing.
-
About time we battered these mugs, it's been a while. Smart money is a draw as that's how the last 4 have finished but I reckon if they play the same team they did v Everton e.g. Lugano somewhere in their defence we'll score a few in this.
4-2 win, Benteke hattrick and Gabby if he's fit to notch the other.
-
Bringing the missus to this. Her attendant record reads P3 W1 D2 L0, so should be good for a point. Here's hoping for a repeat of the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' performance, anything like it and we'll do 'em proper good.
3-0
-
I am very confident. 2-1 or 3-1 Villa. Unfortunately, as a season ticket holder, confidence not only doesn't come around very often but also spectacularly backfires on the odd occasion I can muster it up.
-
I expect Lambo to play to not lose so i go for 1-1
-
I look at our last match and think, we'll win this. Then I remember pretty much every other game we've played this season...
-
This is an ideal opportunity to put some distance between us and the bottom clubs. Unfortunately that has usually meant we don't take the opportunity. 3 points would make us fairly comfortable but one good 45 mins at Liverpool has not turned us into good side. All that aside, I'm hopeful we will win.
-
1-1 Benteke
-
No excuses, three points and a healthy win is the least I expect against these shysters from down the road.
4-1 Villa.
Does anybody know if their fans are traveling over on organised coaches again?
-
2-0
-
Probably my last game of the season due to the pregnant Mrs MDC getting almost as big and immobile as Richard Dunne. Hoping for a win to mark the occasion. As someone up the thread said a win here and there will be a good gap to the bottom three.
-
2-1 Benteke with both.
-
For some strange reason I have felt confident about this game for weeks, 3-1 Villa, I predicted 2-2 on here for the Bindippers away game so I am on a roll.
-
Looking forward to this. I've had a shite past week or so, hopefully this game can raise my spirits. I doubt it.
1-1 with Benteke scoring first and Albion getting a late leveller.
-
Aston Villa 3 West Bromwich Strollers 1
-
I'm uber confident about this one. 3-0 to us without breaking sweat.
-
We'll batter the bitter birds 1-1
Looking forward to a bit of atmosphere!
-
If gabby is out I've a feeling he may play the same eleven that played the second half v Liverpool
I stand by to be corrected but I think that would be a mistake - really lacking I width, creativity and pace. I can see it being a bit like the Cardiff home game but with them having more of an attacking threat
If gabby is out I wouldn't play holt. I'd bring bacuna in for KEA with Lowton at RB, and albrighton on the left. Weimann off benteke.
A diamond with benteke and holt looks pretty long ball to me, especially with no real width in midfield and Weimann as the number 10
-
What's wrong with Gabby?
-
Knackered ankles, I think.
-
What's wrong with Gabby?
Don't tell him!
;-)
-
2-2
-
Pretty emphatic home win. I can just sense it...
3-1 to villa.
-

I agree with your view, victory would mean 27 points with 15 games left to play.
I hope the Villa give Albion a good tonking. :)
-
Think a lot depends on gabby,really think his pace will hurt them so I hope he's fit. With gabby 3-1 villa. Without gunna say a draw 1-1.
-
Hoolahan to arrive tomorrow. Team: 4312 - Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Clark, Plastic, Westwood, Delph, KEA, Wes, Gabby, Benteke. 2-0 Villa - Wes, Benteke (pen).
Nurse, more of those very effective happy pills!
-
Looking forward to it. I think we have (just about) the better squad and the derby atmosphere should dispel the silence of the lambs at Villa park. That said I really rate their new manager and Anelka will be out to make a splash against us.
Should be entertaining!
-
2-1 Villa win.
-
Can I please change my vote? 42 votes, the worst home record in living memory and not one person thinks we're going to lose? I see a bad moon rising.
-
Draw or 1-2 them.
-
Draw or 1-2 them.
That's more like it.
-
Oh do come on, let's not allow facts and form into this. It's Albion. They'll be glad to experience an atmosphere and get the day's papers rather than wait a week.
-
Gagging for this one - as long as we give 'em a good hiding! Long overdue!
I've got a feeling for 3-1.
So it'll probably be 0-0.
We'll hit the woodwork 14 times and have 17 goals disallowed.
2 weeks later the ref's spokesman person thingy will apologise that they should have had 12 penalties, Olsson will tell the BBC that Chris Herd stamped on him again (even though he wasn't playing) and Anelka will be elected top man at the UN. Popo Molo, or whatever his name is, will be hailed as The Secong Coming!
UTV!
-
"Second"!
-
Draw or 1-2 them.
That's more like it.
Obviously i want us to win but the pressure is all on us. Losing Gabby is a massive blow and it changes the whole outlook on the game for me.
-
2-1 us.
I've got my ticket, and I am making the 300 mile journey down. We've lost the other times I've come down so far this season so I'm hoping this run will change.
-
Is Gabby out then? Lambert didnt mention it in his news conference. I thought he was still awaiting a late fitness test?
-
Draw. 1-1 or 2-2 with one of their centre backs scrambling a 90th min equaliser.
-
10-0 Kill them. Kill them all.
-
Gabby isn't definitely out but he hasn't been able to train since Liverpool so time is tuning out
-
My Season Ticket will be staying unused in the drawer as I am subject to a three line whip to attend my wife's niece's 18th birthday party. This is therefore a nailed on easy home win. 4-0.
-
1-0 down early doors, then 3-1 to us.
-
2-0 to us, first goal very early from Benteke and then a 2nd midway through the 2nd half by Weimann on the break.
-
I have had a feeling for a couple of weeks now that we will thump them. A very dangerous sign!
-
Was surprised they let Shane Long go especially after they didn't renew the Lukaku loan. In theory goals for them should be hard to come by (famous last words) so I'm going 2-1 to us, or 3-1 if Gabby plays
-
Just seen that Anelka is '99%' likely to play at VP. Not usually a fan of the method in general - but could we boo the c*** every time the ball goes within a five yard radius of him?
-

I'm not sure it's a good idea. Only because Anelka's one of those players who might let it spur him on to put some effort in and raise his game. If he does that, he's a good player and might hurt us. Personally I'd ignore the fecker and hope he coasts through the game as he has done most of his time at WBA.
-
Pretty good at Anfield but now we're at home and back to reality.
Maybe a struggling draw but always the chance that WBA will be more up for it than us.
-
3-0 to us.
-
10-0 Kill them. Kill them all.
I like the way you talk
-

I remember in the early 1990's the crowd giving Ian wright loads of stick when we played arsenal at villa park. He was suspended for an upcoming Eufa cup final and the crowd were taking the piss. He scored two to win the game for them. I thought then that perhaps taunting a player all game seems to be counterproductive so let's not eh?
-
I intend to boo the fuck out of the racist twat.
-
The ref is Mark Clattenburg apparently.
-
a win...just a simple win..I don't care how just fucking win Villa.
UTV
The Doc
-
Given recent events, maybe tweeting to thank Lazio for their interest in the current transfer window wasn't the smartest thing to do Mr Anelka!
You couldn't make it up
-
Anelka is pretty poor nowadays, I know he normally scores against us but I'd rather be facing him upfront than Shane long.
-
The ref is Mark Clattenburg apparently.
Good thing or bad thing ? What do you reckon ?
-
He was referee when we smashed SHA 5-1.
-
Fantastic. A good thing then.
-
I want to say Villa win. I want to say a Villa win by 3 goals to 1 with a good strong performance.
Sadly I've been to all the home games this season and the above sentence just looks ridiculous, far more likely is a 0-0 / 1-1 / scrappy 1-0 to either side.
Ah, fuck likely, 4-0 Villa. Let's have 'em.
-
I want us to win, and clearly.
I don't want any dodgy or contraversial decisions. Anything for them to claim 'we wuz robbed' or 'You were lucky'. I don't want them to have anyrthing to cling to
2 or 3 nil should do it
-
I intend to boo the fuck out of the racist twat.
He knows what he is. And so do they.
-
Is Gabby out then?
Will deduct a goal, 3-2 us.
-
I am visiting in friendship. :D Pepe Mel likes to play a high defensive line. With the slowness of our centre-halves, your pacey attacking players could cause us massive, massive problems.
-

He is in what the papers like to call a 'race for fitness'.
-

My Baggies colleague has mentioned this to me a few times, Paul. If Gabby plays he will love that. He isn't looking forward to it.
We will see. My heart says 2 or 3 to nil to Villa, but head is a bit more sensible and thinks there's likelt to only be the odd goal in int and it will be a tough match
-
I hope that Lugano plays.
-
This game will be interesting to see if we've turned a corner following the 2nd half against Arsenal and the Anfield game. If we have, then these are the sort of games we struggle in, so a decent performance and a win will tell us a lot.
2-1 Villa. 3-1 if Gabby plays.
-
I think this is an important game. A win and we kick on from Anfield and move further away from relegation to he point of relative safety, a defeat and we're dragged back into it.

Uh-oh, looks like somebody fed Liam the Baggie after mid-night...
Although you seem more acceptable than the gaggle of slack-jawed tatters we had on here last time with there "bay ya" and "ay we" Yammer dirge.
-
Unusual amount of optimism in the vote!
-
Yep, only Liam the Baggie, PaulWBA and Goldie07 have voted for a loss.
-

I think this is one thing we need to address at some point. If Gabby is ever out, we haven't really got another wide man or forward with pace to replace him. It didn't help when he went off against Liverpool.
-
3-1 Villa.
Massive game, not because of Albion, just important to keep momentum going from the last game and a half.
Benteke x2 and Delph with the goals.
Some rough looking fellow wearing a Tesco bag for them.
-

Y'know the usual brain dead Albion fans we usually have on here...like Chiles and Frank Skinner....

I was referencing a film from 1984 Paul. Don't worry, the 1980's will reach Tipton sometime in the next decade.
-
2-1 home win.
-
We must break them.
3-0.
-
Oh dear... not seen this sort of confidence on H&V for a long time!
1-0 to us, Benteke header from a corner at some point before half time.
-

Contrariwise, I am surprised that someone clearly as limited as you is that advanced, being honest.

Thought I'd jump on the referencing-’80s-films bandwagon.
-
Gabby`s fitness is vital in this game. Though if Weimann and Benteke get going 2-0. Delph-Benteke ......
-
With Gabby I think we'll win.
Without, its completely up in the air, a draw or 1-0/2-1 either way.
-
To be fair to Baggie Paul, he started off pleasantly enough and Ads was quick to take the piss.
I am all for giving him a chance.
If he starts behaving like those dimwitted, spunk trumpets we got on here before the away gam however, I reserve the right to soundly abuse him and call him 17 rounds of ******.
Fair enough by you Paul?

I've cast my vote for a home triumph over yam doorty Smethwick.

Look, I tried to be nice. I appreciate that he hasn't come on here typing as he speaks and giving it the big one, but for the next 48 hours at least, my niceness to these small time stripey wankers, is going to be pretty limited.

Life's too short to hate.
I for one welcome our dimwitted, jealousy-ravaged, simple neighbours.
-
There's me searching for the match thread and wondering why R5 haven't mentioned the game - no change there really when it comes to Villa - and then it dawns on me it might be tomorrow night! And lo and behold...
I had it written in my diary for tonight for some reason

Perfectly put. Sandwell is the hub of all things football after all.
-
It's not just you. Posted by some random pillock yesterday:
I'm such a bloody scatter-brained idiot at the moment. Got all my stuff ready this evening for the up-coming Villa game. Thermal socks, trainers, jeans, jumper, extra top layers, bottle of water, assorted snacks, gloves and a warm hat. All ready to go into the bag tomorrow morning. We're playing on Wednesday. FOOL!
-
Whilst I totally agree with the sentiments displayed, it just seems harsh to go straight at the jugular with him before he's stepped out of line. Just me maybe
-
Sign of the times or a reflection on our home form but the guy who sits next to me at work and is a season ticket holder asked earlier if the game was tonight or tomorrow and who we were playing !!!!
-
We are playing in somebody's cup final tomorrow. They have even sold a full allocation away from home for once. Bless.
-
Have they? Sold out? Crikey, wonders will never cease!
-
OK so I'm working in Liverpool then travelling down to Gloucester tomorrow. Just checked and there's plenty of tickets on Viagogo for under £25. Give me your reasons why I should/shouldn't.......
-
To those who thought the game was tonight - it originally was. It was moved back 24 hours I believe on police orders due to Small Heath playing tonight.
-
we need to really go at these bastards tomorrow. I would have had more faith in them coming back and making a fight of it had Clarke still been in charge as opposed to a bloke that barely speaks English.
-
This is what we need.
A double from Leonard..........and one from Chico.
-
Villa 2 or 3 nil, Think Holt might get 1. Teams like the boggies he should do well against.
-

I've got a spare one going in the Holte lower for 20 quid if you fancy it chap.
-
I think it'll be a draw without gabby. These games are always tight and we're enduring the worst home record in our history this season.
I reckon we might beat Everton though
-

Can we have Ray Graydon and Sir Brian playing tomorrow please?
UTV!
-
I'd be interested to see what Lambert does with as seems likely no Gabby.
I agree his absence will be crucial. Without him suddenly Olsson and McAuely can just concentrate on ruffing up Benteke and Weimann can easily disappear from games.
I think I'd start Holt and see if he can last 60 minutes to give the two CBs something else to think about. It would also be logical to start Albrighton if that's the front two.
Would mean we'd be predictably outnumbered in the centre as no doubt WBA will play 5 in there but fack it given how shite we are at home sitting back with 3 in there and conceding the first goal, I'd rather go a bit more gung ho for the win.
-
We haven't scored 3 goals past them since 85/86 all these predictions of 3-0/3-1/4-1/4-0's are highly unlikely.
-
We've beaten them 4-0 in the FA Cup a lot more recently than that.
-
We haven't scored 3 goals past them since 85/86 all these predictions of 3-0/3-1/4-1/4-0's is highly unlikely.

Curses!

I'm happy to hand it over outside the ground from around 20 past 7 no problem chap, PM tomorrow if you find out you can make it.

Maybe a glorious draw, but who knows with us. A sneaky win will give us a bit to build on.

I watched Fulham play today. Jesus. Whether we lose tomorrow or not there is no way we (or WBA) can be worse than the Fulham pensioners.
Bloody awful.

Bloody awful.
yep the same Fulham that beat us. Which is frigtening
-
I feel that this is the season decider, the crossroads that points to the future.
If we get 3 points today, positive things are possible:
- we are a team that at least aspire to cross the table gap and join the top 9 Euro contender clubs.
- home games might be fun to watch again.
- defence might save us future points and not the reason we lose them.
- improved passing game might link up attackers that have been beached like stranded whales on a island.
If we fail to get all 3 points:
- relegation battle awaits
- Villa Park gets to be the place for venting frustration directly at the team and not the haven where players feel support.
- January transfer window will be regarded as "opportunity lost.
-
I have a feeling this calendar year could be where we sort out our home form... probably jinxed it now though.
-
8-0 would be nice.
Ever the pessimist!..
-
5-1
Curbishley, Mortimer, Morley, Withe, Rideout
Hopkins for them
-

And absolutely terrifying for Arsenal and Manchester City.
-
The reality is so many of the teams in the bottom half will struggle to even make 40 points, hopefully we have enough about us to do that so I'm not worried about relegation at all.
Not when just a point will get us back in 10th, that should be the target this season.
-
Villa 2-0 WBA
Benteke 34
Weimann 67
-
With Gabby - Win
Without Gabby - Win
With Gabby Roslin up front - Win
We'll shit 'em.
-
Is Gabby Roslin any good at the rear as we could do with that?

Villa 2 - 1 West Brom 14/12/2002
-
Even though I know how bad we are at home, I can't stop thinking we're gonna beat them comfortably. It feels a bit like the Sunderland game last season, which I didn't go to, so maybe I should stay away!

I'm the same. I'm going tonight. Don't recall the last time I saw Villa win at home when I was there.
edit:
Last home league match I've been to where we won was Fulham, March 2012.
Last competitive win, Norwich away in the league Cup last season.
Last win, Malaga pre-season
I'm shit at watching us win it seems
-
Any news on Gabby?
I'm hoping the injury story is just a bluff by Lambert, but I've been known to be wrong about these things.
-
Tonight is a two-stage process.
1. Get in to them
2. Fock them off
-

1. Get in to them

Good point well made. Let's go with that then.
-
That's Plan A AND Plan B sorted.
-
4 1
-
The ref is Mark Clattenburg apparently.
Good thing or bad thing ? What do you reckon ?
Good, he's one of the best refs out there.
-
I am trying to get excited about tonight but failing - all I can think about is the rubbish I have watched at VP and am now expecting every home game.
The daft thing is I think we will take it to Everton in the next match and it will be a cracker!

Tonight is a two-stage process.
1. Get in to them
2. Fock them off
I think we should fock them off first, and then get in to them.
Good point well made. Let's go with that then.
If all else fails
1/ Fock em in
2/ Get em off

Ok well I've booked my ticket and will be heading down from liverpool shortly.....so they'd better play well!!
My cunning plan, as I'm travelling on to Gloucester afterwards, is to drive down to Tame Bridge Parkway and get the train in from there. Only flaw in that plan is that the train will be full of in-bred Yam-yams I guess.

I don't see Albion having much firepower these days, especially with Long having left for Hull City/Tigers.
Scrappy 1-0 derby Win for AVFC - Ooooh Christian Benteke with the goal.
Don't think it will be pretty tonight, could be plenty of hoof with Benteke and Holt up front for at least part of the game.
-
3-0 Benteke 11, 67 Weimann 28
UTV!!!

Any news on Gabby's fitness? It would be a real loss if he didn't play. It's not just him as a player we'd be losing but also the system.
I don't wanna replace him with Alshiteon in a 433 or Holt in a 442.

Missing Men:-
Villa 2 - 1 West Brom 14/12/2002
Gave up after five minutes with the right-back (not really a right-back) and right-sided midfielder still to get. I'd entirely forgotten about the latter player.

There were 3 that I didn't get, the right-back, a centre-back and unbelievably had forgotten about one of the strikers. The worse I've ever done on a Villa missing men.

Happy Birthday.

I am trying to get excited about tonight but failing - all I can think about is the rubbish I have watched at VP and am now expecting every home game.
This may help you get in the mood:
-
Nothing better than going to the Villa when it's pissing it down and cold. Luckily the football will warm us up...
-
If reports are true and Anelka plays tonight, I hope the Villa fans give him what he fully deserves.

A razor ?

I'm optimistic about a home game for the first time in ages. That worries me a bit!
2-1

A smelly fish?

The ref is Mark Clattenburg apparently.
Good thing or bad thing ? What do you reckon ?
Good, he's one of the best refs out there.
Agreed. He also is not afraid to book divers which is good.

If it's who I'm thinking it is, he's happy to take the limelight and let it be all about him.

Thats him. He used to be that way. He has changed in my opinion. After he was falsely accused of abusing a player he has become a lot more no nonsense.
Of course now we have praised him he will probably give two unfair penalties against us :)
Second best Ref in the league, behind Andre Marriner, Villa legend.

Live weather report. On Aston Lane, its peeing down. Leeg reports that its also raining on the other side of the stadium.
So, they're you go. Its wet.
-
I can clarify that. It's raining down with what can only be described as drops of water. Loads of them.

This is the real Internet. How many famous people have you met so far? Will the inclement weather affect H&V sales? Has Dave W met Gary Shaw yet?

Mob of twats playing up in town. No idea whose twats though. Just been led down Temple Street towards the station.

I fucking hate these ******. That is all.

Waiting for the rain to ease off before dashing from the car to the chippy. Then its the short hop to Tesco before the final leg to the LTR. Oh the humanity......

Gabby out
Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Delph, Bacuna, Weimann, Benteke.
-
subs: Steer, Baker, Sylla, Helenius, Albrighton, Holt, Tonev.
-
Hmm 4-3-1-2 with Bacuna in the hole?
Glad to see KEA in the starting line up. He always adds energy.
-
What's up with Gabby?
-
Hmm 4-3-1-2 with Bacuna in the hole?
Glad to see KEA in the starting line up. He always adds energy.
Could be 4-4-2, in which cas Mony may blow a fuse:
Guzan,
Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand,
Bacuna, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Delph,
Weimann, Benteke.
Don't like Westwood and El Ahmadi at home.

Delph on the left bacuna on the right then?
Tend to agree Westwood & Kea dont play that well together. I prefer to see Westwood dropped though.
