Title: Aston Villa vs Cardiff City Pre Match Thread
Post by: Toronto Villa on April 09, 2018, 01:50:59 PM
My “Give a Shit” meter as it relates to this game is close to “zero fucks given” considering how we’ve royally screwed up the last few weeks. Following the Wolves game this should have been a key fixture. Not so much anymore. I’ll go for a Villa win because I’m a mug.

2-1 Kodjia and Adomah

I know what you mean. These two home games this week just feel like a massive inconvenience, to be honest.

It is a key fixture. Go in to the play offs on a sequence of defeats and there will be almost no chance of getting promoted. We need to turn it around quickly and get back on a roll.

Its the Villa way.

I just want us to win the next two, secure 4th as soon as possible, then get our heads down for the Play Offs.

Boro, Derby and hopefully Cardiff in with us.

We must now get some momentum going into the play offs.
After Saturday, forget resting he could drop the lot of them.
Shame Hutton is injured, I'd have brought him back, while there must be a doubt about Terry after his knock and the amount of games he's played, and I don't think Kodija will start, so maybe Hogan and Grabban up top?
If we'd have won Saturday and then beaten Warnock's lot we'd be a point off automatic, so we've well and truly screwed it up.
Typical Villa, I think we will win when it don't matter so much, I'm going for 2-1 to us.

I too am in the ‘zero fucks’ camp, however, looking at a bigger picture I think it’s important we beat Cardiff to give Fulham the chance to overhaul them and finish second.
I think I would rather meet Cardiff in the play offs than Fulham.

Then again we’ll most likely fuck up regardless of who we play.

We should have kept the momentum going after the Wolves game but since then we appear to have given up.  ( I'm not counting Reading as an H&V eleven of 50 year olds would have beaten them).

Is Samba fit to play , not listed as injured if Terry doesn't play I would bring Samba in .He isn't great but Jedinek is hopeless there against any kind of movement

They looked wank against the Wolves. Just awful kick and rush.

It's a tactic I suppose.

Not expecting entertainment.

Terry
Chester
Elmo

Jedi

Kodjia

Pros: I ought to attend, I have a ST after all; we might just offer another Wolves-type game; the atmosphere will be tasty with a large number (presumably) of our Celtic cousins; I can shoot the breeze with a few other diehards.
Cons: I've been to all the crap games recently; 250 miles round trip - get home around midnight; football quality probably going to be low-grade.

It's a tough one .... I'll probably decide at around 3.15 tomorrow.

Re the game: a scrappy draw seems likely; or a late away winner.

It had the big game feel a few weeks back and even on Saturday morning as if we'd won we'd only have been four points off them. Then we kicked off at Carrow Road....

We tend to average about 29-30k on the Tuesday night games but remember Reading last week barely managed to bring 500 fans, I assume Cardiff are bringing the full 2.8k so that will bump things up aswell.

After the utterly depressing trip to Norwich I really don't feel like driving 320 miles from Sussex and back for more of the same, but I've arranged to meet a couple of the Latin Lions at the Barton's, and they've obviously had a much longer journey. I only hope that dinner in the pub and an afternoon visiting Hereford won't turn out to be the highlights of their trip.

You may have noticed from the posts on this thread that the life has been sucked out of our fans by our bottle job of the last few weeks. This is still a big game for you, it isn't for us any more sadly, even if we still need points to secure the playoffs. If you get your noses in front early on expect a near silent home end other than grumbling and perhaps a bit of booing. We'll get up again for the playoffs but right now everyone's depressed and pissed off.

I’m still stuck in the town of fucked-off-ville since Saturday. 2nd time in 25 years the canaries shat on my head just when I thought glory was in sight.

Think Bruce could be borderline losing the dressing room. It’s his shit tactics and out of depth panic resulting in no discernible plan and blaming the players. What a time to have a shit run.

Based on current form we’re shit and we have no chance in the playoffs which makes it all the more galling.

Can only see a 3-0 win for the bluebirds with the boos getting louder. Sorry Bruce but I don’t think your going to make it for next season.

I live in Clent where I know around 10 Viilla supporters, and I spend around half of my time in Shenley Green, where the aged parent resides, and I know another 15 or so around there. None of them are going, and several are not watching on the box even though have Sky access.

The Norwich game has taken a considerable toll.

On the plus side, most of our impressive performances have been followed by mediocrity; you can see it graphically if you are so inclined. So a big performance can come out of nowhere.

It fascinates me that people can just stop supporting when things go wrong with the team when result, performance or both don’t happen. Like turning the cold tap on. I just can’t do this.
Mind you my glass is always half full!

Come on Villa boys, let's win this one. Having only lost 2 at home in the league all season, with the players we've got, we need to maintain our home form, if we're to stand any chance in the playoffs. We need a boost against this shower of sh-t and Colin w-nker, to give us an edge if we meet them in the playoffs. Losing 2nd to Fulham, could destroy them, so let's play our part in achieving this. Nobody has done the double over us, I certainly don't want this anti-football excuse of a team to be the first. We need a strong referee tonight to counter Colin's thuggish tactics! UTV!

I live in Clent where I know around 10 Viilla supporters, and I spend around half of my time in Shenley Green, where the aged parent resides, and I know another 15 or so around there. None of them are going, and several are not watching on the box even though have Sky access.

They battered us in the first game, it was only thanks to Johnstone who kept the score down. No idea how this one is going to go but i'll say 2-2. Grabban and Kodjia with ours and Cardiff to miss another penalty.

we'll score first on the way to a 2-1 defeat. Grabben just has to start, to give us something

We have been out played and tactically wanting since Wolves.

I cant think of anything positive atm, and I normally can find some ray of light somewhere.

Another defeat. They will kick the crap out of us too.

Yeah. That is the fear. I very much doubt there will be 22 players left on the pitch after 90 minutes.
When we beat Cardiff at home last season Grealish was deliberately targeted and fouled time and time again. And then Warnock had the nerve to complain about Grealish "shouting at the referee to get players booked"

Yup, no matter how you look at it, Warnock is a twat. I'm sure even the Cardiff fans realise it.

But is he a bigger twat than Bruce, who didn't seem to accept any responsibility for the Norwich defeat.
Title: Re: Aston Villa vs Cardiff City Pre Match Thread
Post by: Gareth on April 10, 2018, 09:11:51 AM
Warnock is a twat but I have to say I like him, there just aren’t characters about anymore, the sanitisation of the game is sad, his interview the other night was hilarious.

It’s far more fun to see someone acting the arse on the touch line & gobbing off with the press than the usual vanilla nothingness that is spouted.

I get far more agitated watching idiocy like players having conversations behind their hands than I do Colin telling Nuno to do one.

Having said all that I would never want him to be our manager but he is very good at what he does, he takes 100% of the focus of the opposition ire & I can imagine if they hit a bad patch the home crowd will focus on him rather than turn straight on players.

I'd like to say that I'm looking forward to the game tonight, but all my 'fucks' have been used up after the Carrow Road debacle (when they were judiciously used to berate Bruce & his gutless charges). You'd think that they might just roll their proverbials up this evening & show they still give a shit about the climax of this season, but I ain't holding my breath.

I'll go for a draw (1-1) - although it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Colin will be crowing again later & Bruce is hopelessly fishing for excuses. Meh.

They also did exactly the same at their place in the early January game. I remember driving home from Cardiff listening to their fans on the phone ins saying Grealish kept throwing himself to the ground at the slightest touch.

Not sure if that was aimed at me but of course I care Clampy. And any time any Villa fan says I don’t care it’s a bold faced lie. I’m here way too often, and it has occupied way too much of my life as evident of that. It’s just that the last few weeks have taken the steam out of my enthusiasm, a common thing for this club to do over the last number of years. Just when you see a little light, a bit of hope, the door is smashed shut. But work commitments permitting I’ll be logged in somehow, praying we win.

At the end of the day I don’t want Bruce or any Villa managers fired because it means he’s doing well. However we’re a long way past that point now. Let’s finish the season strong, hopefully win out in the playoffs and be in a better position to push on with someone more progressive as a PL club.

we have as much chance of losing a player by getting sucked in by one of their wind up merchants as they do with their blatant kicking as seen the last time we met

We can kick start our spluttering season with a win tonight. Make no mistake that's what Colin Wanker will be telling his team. If we lose he will rub it in with maximum effect to destroy our confidence if we end up playing them in the play offs. Nothing less than a full bloodied assault from our boys will be good enough. Come on Villa we can do it. It simply has GOT TO HAPPEN TONIGHT. 3-1 to the rampant lions.  Kodja 2 Terry 1.
