But we're the Villa, and we usually find a way to piss on our own shoes. Christmas disappointment looms...

Drab 1-1 draw. mcCormack nailed on score. If they take the lead it'll be 2-2.

I think it was "savaged" rather than "threatened", and was (rather harshly) by Churchill about Attlee.

Dennis Healey used the phrase "on being criticized by the mild mannered Tory minister Geoffrey Howe in the UK House of Commons in June 1978".
A sparkling 5-2 victory in an open game of free flowing attacking football
not underestimating our opponents but we need to start beating teams by more than one. Laughable after the last 2 years i know, but I just have a feeling goal difference my be crucial on D-day and ours is relatively weak. Are the play off semis random or 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5 like in the NFL?

Play-Offs are 3 v 6 and 4 v 5.

I predict we will play them again in a league match.The world will end in about 4 billion years so your probably on to a good thing there mate
I would have thought that the return match this season would come round a bit quicker though;-)I predict we will play them again in a league match.The world will end in about 4 billion years so your probably on to a good thing there mate

We have played some pretty uninspiring clubs in the past.
I was a lot more embaressed against the arsenal at Wembley.

That was post-match embarrassment at the performance, not pre-match embarrassment that we were at their level.
I can think of a few cringeworthy Villa events over the years, this does not come even close, now if we lost!!!We have played some pretty uninspiring clubs in the past.

Us 10 - Them 1
We spend the whole of the post match thread complaining about the "schoolboy defending" that gave them the consolation goal.
Seriously can we PLEASE have a decent result at Christmas for a damn change?

Was it 1989 when we beat Arsenal and Man U at home in the space of a few Christmas days?
The very fact I still look back at that with great fondness is very telling, as it indicates NOTHING GOOD HAS HAPPENED FOR TWENTY SEVEN FUCKING YEARS NOW
3-0
Jammie Dodger hat trick.

Yes it was, my first two Villa games in a row as a 14 year old. Boxing Day and New Years Day, 3-1 (Man Utd) and 1-0 (Arsenal) spring to mind, without looking it up in advance...

Manure was 3-0 and Arsenal 2-1
I remember winning 4-0 against Everton around a decade ago, Baros scored with the most blatant handball since Diego took flight.
Best Boxing Day game of recent years was the 2-2 draw with Arsenal at home. We were 0-2 down despite battering them all first half. Zat Knight equalised in injury time and the ground exploded. That put us 4th in the table.Best Boxing Day ever was the 3-0 v manure (followed up by the ny day 2-1 v arse). Never been so packed in tight on the Holte. Made even sweeter by the fact the old man came, he supports Man U. He had his sheepskin coat on and was standing next to a fella wearing a Barbour jacket! Only one winner there! Back end of the Queues from L and K met outside the front door of the Holte pub. We were queuing for K then saw a lad from school there and ended up going in L and only just made it in. Up there with my best ever Villa Park times. The belief of the crowd in both games was absolutely amazing. Fucked the Cockney Fuckers twice in a week!

same. Spent the first half standing in the concourse behind the front third of terracing. Couldn't see anything until we managed to get a spot at half time. The old man was a teacher in Chelmsley back then and got spotted half a dozen times!

I remember that the Holte was packed that day. I didn't see any of the first half because we could not get anywhere near a place on the terraces so we stood on the gangway with no view of the pitch. At half time people went off for a pie or a piss and we managed to get a space with a view. Thankfully it was 0-0 at half time so we saw all three goals in an inspired second half performance.

Apparently Burton have not won away so far this season.
Villa have yet to,lose at home.
What could possibly grow wrong !!

The was the game I think that the Holte started singing "Thank you very much for Paul McGrath" to Ferguson to the Cadbury's Roses advert tune.
Didn't we beat Chelsea away that Christmas as well?
I think about that season everyday,and how close we were.if only Platt had scored that penalty vs Wimbledon.The game that finished it for me was losing 2-0 to Coventry on the sunday, we never quite reached the peaks after that, IMO. :'(
OFFICIALLY sold out now.
Going back to that Man U game we could not get in so Damon climbed up the Holte End gate. Clinging to the top of it he shouted a running commentary to the rest of us.
OFFICIALLY sold out now.

I remember Zat fondly for only two reasons. That goal and the one against Chelsea.
I really don't see how we are going to balls this up. We are not an exciting team under Bruce but we will be far too efficient for Burton.
BURTON Albion will make the trip to Villa Park on Boxing Day hoping to pick up their first away win of the season to give the Albion fans a late Christmas present.
Aston Villa come into the game off the back of a 1-0 win away to Queens Park Rangers last Sunday with summer signing Jonathan Kodjia scoring his 8th of the season since joining from Bristol City for a fee which could rise to £15 million.
Villa currently sit 13th in the Sky Bet Championship table with 31 points from their 22 games so far. They have drawn 10 games, the second most of any Championship side with Bristol City having one more with eleven.
Villa have impressive home form this season having not lost at Villa Park with five wins and five draws proving the game will be a difficult task for the Albion.
Nigel Clough’s men will head there hoping their good play in defeats against Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United will help them in the first competitive fixture between the two sides.
Defender Ben Turner could return to the squad following his two-match suspension whilst Brewers forward Jamie Ward, a former youth player at Villa, will be hoping to return to Nigel Clough’s line-up after being on the bench against Newcastle.
The Brewers boss said ahead of the game: “Steve Bruce has a big, big job. When a club has been in decline for a period time, not just a few months but last season and maybe a bit before as well it takes some turning around. You have to stem the tide of defeats, which he has done and start building from there. But it’s still early days for him and it will take maybe 18 months – you would expect them at the end of next season to be up there challenging.”
Stephen Martin will be the man with the cards at Villa Park. The Staffordshire-based referee has given 46 yellow cards so far this season, just an average of 2.5 per game. He has also brandished two yellow cards this season which both came in the same match between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
Tickets will not be available on the day for supporters and with over 2,000 Brewers fans making the trip they’ll be plenty of noise in the away end.
In order to get fans to their seats in time for kick off, the TV’s in the lower tier (Q block) concourse will be turned off 15 minutes before kick-off at Villa Park.

unbelievable, I'm laughing out loud reading that because I did exactly the same
same match, stood in the Holte with my old man who also supports Man Utd he wasn't wearing sheepskin though on memory
The talk about the sellout has got a bit too Newcastle for my liking.
Going back to that Man U game we could not get in so Damon climbed up the Holte End gate. Clinging to the top of it he shouted a running commentary to the rest of us.
Good job it wasn't Theresa May up there.
