9-3
I think this is when we lose our unbeaten home record.I'm going to be there for this one, so I bloody well hope it's better than the recent away dross we've witnessed.
Can't see us improving on the Wolves performance. 0-2.
My mind has just raced back to the first game of the 1973-74 season and arriving back from a week's family holiday in Weymouth and arriving back in Birmingham around 3.30pm and my mum and dad dropping me off outside VP - so I could maintain my attendance record ! (as a 16 year old - nothing was more important.)
I remember we played them away around January of that season.
Have we played Preston since then - I'm struggling to think of a game between us ?

I was at that one, first home game of the season. We won 2-0, Trevor Hockey scoring on his debut and a rare goal from Charlie Aitken. The was also a bomb scare before kick off. Nobody left the ground.

I was at that match, the goals got progressively better, topped off by a Hitz screamer.

One of the few Saturday games my dad took me to. I remember being downstairs in the Trinity when everyone stood up and applauded as Bobby Charlton entered the directors' box.

Great stuff, thank you!
I found it a bit jarring to see the team we had out that day, compared to what we have now. Barry, Angel, Vassell, Hitzelsperger, De La Cruz, Dublin, and Sir Graham on the touchline. I'd give my arms for some of that now.

Der Hammer's goal celebrations were great. Arms waving all over the place and a look of shock on his face.

Yet how many of them did we think were 'nowhere near good enough' for Aston Villa at the time. This iwas the 'pig of a season' that had Graham Taylor booed at the end of it.
That was a PNE side that was consistently close to promotion and their fans used to moan like hell about them too, they've been to League One and back since then. One of the things Mr Amfy's always says is to try and appreciate the team you've got, because you never know when you might be looking back on that as good times, and this clip seems to be a really good example of that for us!
After the game I met Mr amfy at the away turnstile singing 'Can we play you every week?' Not something I expect to doing this weekend somehow.
I live near Preston and have PNE supporting in-laws. I took my youngest to the away game, and he now thinks PNE are better than Villa. We need to win this one 4-0.
Wow, great to watch - it really does show how far we've dropped with the talent we had on the squad then.https://youtu.be/2Sb0BU531Zw

Bruce has to try something new today. Playing Gabby just means we play with ten men.
Gamble on RHM. Stick him up top with McCormack behind.

I think RHM is injured but yes, I'd try something a little different today as well. I reckon he'll give Andre Green a start, he has hinted at it.
We really need to win this one to close the gap on the top six so I'm going for a 2-1 win to us.Very brave Darren Woolley very brave.
Lansbury and Green start, as does Westwood. No McCormack in the 16 at all.

Westwood as usual survives the purge. He must be magnificent in training. Is Ross injured or off?
I was quite looking forward to today.
Saw Westwood and Agbonlahor in the team. Won't be following it now. Can't and won't support either of them.
Bruce must have a deathwish....If we don't start winning soon, he is going to bear the brunt of a massive backlash.
Hope we win.

Oh behave. I can't stand Westwood but he's still in the Villa team so you at least get behind him during the game. Do your slagging off at the end or on here, but don't let it stop you supporting the team because if so, what's the point of being a fan?
We're not scoring today. Flabby starting. McCormack not in squad.

Every day I love Bruce less and less.
