Brick. Ing. It.
We really need to win this game so I'm staying positive 1-0 Villa.
El crapico
0-0
"You're not English any more" I still have no idea what they meant, apart from casual racism.
Well this is a key game. We don't beat a really sh!t team then you wonder where the other 18 points are coming from.We can ill afford anymore fuck ups in these key relegation games. A repeat of the 0-1 losses at WBA or Leicester would be pathetic and devastating .

I'd forgotten about that! Bizarre wasn't it?

ends any credibility to any Hull chant
First away trip for me since Southampton last season.Hope you bring us the same sort of luck again Andy.
I will settle for getting in their half four times and winning 3-2.
0-0 between possibly the two most out of form teams in the PL. I wonder if potato head will still be in charge.You do realise they just took a point at the Etihad and were literally seconds away from winning don't you

Firstly it came out of the blue considering their current form and secondly I think the manner in which they dropped two points at the death will have knocked them.
I've seen Hull a few times up here this season and if we can't win this we deserve to go down. They are a truly shocking team, awful.
2-3
Come back second half Benteke winner in the last minute.
2-3
Come back second half Benteke winner in the last minute.
To achieve that we would have to score 25% of our season to date tally in one match.
We're Hull's bogey team so let's hope that continues.
7 teams we've played them in the prem, 6 wins and a draw. Even two wins and a draw under Lambert! :D
0-0.
That's shots on target.
On paper their team is really poor, Alex Bruce, McShane, Meyler, Elmohamady, Aluko, Ramirez even their keeper McGregor is very average. If we match their intensity from the start and if Benteke and Delph show up we should have enough. A win would set us up very nicely for the cup game too. A nervy 1-0 to the Villa.
No to Cleverley!!

Jores Okore is in positive mood heading into the Hull game - and has called on the team to play with their hearts at the KC Stadium.
Okore was upbeat following the loss to Chelsea because Villa matched the league leaders for long periods and deserved something from the game.
The Danish defender equalised early in the second half with a far-post header from a cross by Carlos Gil, though a Branislav Ivanovic winner denied Villa a share of the points.
However, Okore sought to emphasise that Villa's impressive performance can give them confidence looking ahead to the Tigers game and beyond.
He said: "I think that we had a really good performance - we played very well and showed we could compete against Chelsea.
"It was unlucky that we didn't win but that was one step forward and showed that we can play really good football.
"It's something that we already knew we could do but it's just nice to get it confirmed that we can play a really good game against Chelsea
"I just think that if we can get the same kind of effort in the upcoming games we can perform really good. I am looking for us to do that.
"It's a really big game and it's a game where we're looking for the win. We're going to go out there and really put our heart out there to get the three points."
Despite the defeat, Okore was understandably delighted to score his first goal for the club.
He continued: "I'm really happy to get that goal and not to wait too long to get my first goal for the club so hopefully there's many more to come. I am really relieved to get it.
"I just was really happy and glad - and hopefully we can get the fans up and running with the energy we get from that goal."
Newboy Gil provided the assist with a teasing cross from the right - and Okore was quick to praise the Spaniard's impact since joining Villa.
He added: "Carlos played really good. He created a lot of things on the pitch and the way he came in the team and in games and showed creativity and drive has helped the team a lot.
"He is a good lad and he played really well."

Its when you see it like that, in black & white, how very poor we are.
I wouldn't argue with the selection, or the formation, but that team has bottom three written through it -regardless of who the manager is.
There's just no leadership there.
There's no pace there.
And, as we know, there's nowhere near enough goals in the side. Having a midfield three who contribute a sum total of what, say 5-6 goals BETWEEN them in a normal season is a recipe for disaster.
Bad feeling about this one.
On the plus side we have the better players, on the negative side Hull have been scared into fighting back.

I disagree as much about as much as I can. There's pace in there, there is a bit of leadership, there's just no organisation from the man who signed them.
Toronto and Ads, forever the optimists. Fair play I guess.

See for some reason I have a really good feeling about this. As much as we have been gash, there are teams below us. How on earth that is nobody will ever be able to explain. It's like we have made it too easy and they still didn't take full advantage. We won't go on like this forever and at some stage things will mysteriously click just as they have gone the other way so dramatically since Arsenal at home. There are too many good players in the side, and while the manager doesn't help matters, even he wouldn't mind seeing us score a few on Tuesday and moving forward. I think we will take our chances vs Hull and win the game.
We've never scored three goals away there in the league before in our history and it isn't likely to happen tomorrow either.
Don't break it, Paul...

Nothing will be decided tomorrow unfortunately . We are all in for a bumpy couple of months .

I'd be concerned about that stat if Hull were a team like Barcelona. However, in their history they've probably managed to achieve the heights of equaling an average Sunderland season.
Lose this and I think we'll be in massive trouble. Serious trouble more so that at any other time since 1986/87.
I also think though that if ever we were to sack Lambert the straw to break the camels back might be a defeat here.
And to be fair, Lambert has often won games like this.
But I have no faith left so 1-1 and the agony continues as we miss a hatful of chances.
I wouldn't be surprised if we go 3-5-2 tonight. Hull have set-up this way a few times this season, and it would allow Lambert to bring Vlaar back-in without having to drop Clark or Okore.
I just hope that, if we do, Cleverley is the fall-guy and we deploy Gil as an an-and-out Number 10 (as I like to call them).

We're just waiting for the whistle that says we are going over the top. It's not so bad as we've been here before, we're used to it.
Melchett:
Field Marshal Haig has formulated a brilliant new tactical plan to ensure final victory in the field.
Blackadder:
Ah. Would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemy?
Captain Darling:
How could you possibly know that, Blackadder? It's classified information!
Blackadder:
It's the same plan that we used last time and the seventeen times before that.
Melchett:
Exactly! And that is what is so brilliant about it! It will catch the watchful Hun totally off guard! Doing precisely what we've done eighteen times before is exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time! There is, however, one small problem.
Blackadder:
That everyone always gets slaughtered in the first ten seconds.
Melchett:
That's right. And Field Marshal Haig is worried this may be depressing the men a tad. So he's looking for a way to cheer them up.
Blackadder:
Well, his resignation and suicide seems the obvious choice.
Melchett:
Hmm, interesting thought. Make a note of it, Darling.
I think Lambert has made it difficult for himself with respect to Cleverly after the noises he was making about him yesterday. If he wasn't undroppable before, he is more so now.
I think he'll go:
Brad
Hutton Okore Clark Aly
Sanchez
Sinclair Delph Cleverly
Gil
Weimann
Christ, there's not much balance there. Might be better to go three at the back if Vlaar is fit, with Hutton and Aly as wing backs. That might allow lads to get into the box and get on the end of things. Play Weimann upfront and have Sanchez and Delph anchor the midfield. Let Sinclair and Gil ping in a few tasty balls or get a run at McShane and Bruce

See you all up there. Well, I'll see some of you. The others? Who cares, I'm a considerably better fan than them anyway.

Just arrived in hull. It is very foggy. Not sure if natural or man made.A swift scrub on your specs with your villa scarf should take care of that.

Hull will be just as nervous and will be completely gutted by throwing away a massive win at the weekend at the death. That's the kind of stuff that can sink morale.
A bad loss tonight and the losing manager could well be getting his P45.
Cant see the point in retaining faith in Lambert if tonight is a disaster
I think he may even survive relegation.A bad loss tonight and the losing manager could well be getting his P45.

I realise 90% of posters here would sack him straight away if they could, but do you really think the club will?
I think he's 100% bullet proof until we get mathematically relegated or the season ends.

I think he'll send out a team to win the game. He has to. Anything conservative and we'll get what we deserve.
