No excuses just get the job done Villa, COME ONNNNN!!
-
As Dave said...the only team that can beat us tonight is Aston Villa.
-
I thought Whelan might have come in or even Josh for conor but If SB does not want to freshen it up its up to him .
Still should be enough for 4-0

I see JT played in the same team as JLS when they were kids, expect a JT goal tonight.
-
Win the game Villa.
-
Just setting off for the café... Come on you Villa Boys!
-
It will be a tough game but that's what we've hopefully been building up to and now prepared for over the last two seasons. Let's get that early goal and enjoy the evening.

Rudy back on bench after long layoff
Is Fry a centre back ?
-
Surprised to see Bree start and not Thor but just being fussy.
-
Would have liked to see RHM on the bench instead of Hogan (who is mostly pointless). Not a big fan of Bree, but hopefully he will prove me wrong tonight.
Other than that pretty much what I would have picked, and should be more than good enough to win.
-
Just hearing the magnificent 'N.I.B' coming across the wireless - & I'm starting to feel nervously excited about tonight. No complaints from me about the starting 11. Just get the job done please guys.

-
Come on you Villa boys. Just win!
-
Holte End sounds magnificent in the background
-
I didn’t realise Bree was only 20.
-
I love hearing Crazy Train before kick off. Will always associate it with these past two seasons. Hope we keep it next year too.
-
Let's do this.

I reckon 'Gravy Train' would be more appropriate if we manage to go up. ;)
-
anyone nervous?
-
Did you see Jacks face then?
-
This is how you put on a play off Boro...with fire!!
-
Come on boys, get into 'em!
-
COME ON YOU LIONS
-
When do we get to see the giant flag, or have I missed it?
-
Think it will be 3 or 4.
It's one of those nights.
Please believe it.

Hope there's nothing wrong with Snodgrass...
Ah, he's ok. Good. Come on Villa!
-
Wanna see a game from Albert, I think he's been rubbish the last lot of matches.
-
Hope there's nothing wrong with Snodgrass
Good morning Axl
-
Bree hmmmm
-
whys the twat bleached his goatee
-
Hope there's nothing wrong with Snodgrass
Good morning Axl
Morning mate.
It's been a decent start. Still bloody nervous, though.
-
Bree hmmmm
Very nice on a cracker.
-
Fucking hell
-
Bree a definite weak link.
-
Snoddy is up for this
-
Albert should have hit that. He would have when he was on his good run.
-
Bree a definite weak link.
Two of the 3 mistakes have come from poor balls played into him. He's doing ok.
-
My money's on their number 8, Clayton, to get a red. Non stop fouling.
-
We’ve gone too deep. Was always the worry
-
Jedi cruncher there
-
Ref's had his warning. He needs to buck his ideas up.
-
Terry and Dean look very chummy. Which is good to see.
-
Terry just reminding Dean which team is meant to go through.
-
Jedi looking a real presence today
-
Can't keep on giving this mob corners.
-
Terry just reminding Dean which team is meant to go through.
:D ;D :D
-
Terry just reminding Dean which team is meant to go through.
That'll please the paranoid, whining Wendy's!
-
We need to get Grealish on the ball. Give it to Jack.
-
Traore looks a little rushed and rattled. Long may it continue
-
Can’t help feeling it would have been better if we needed a goal
-
This is awful.
-
We're playing shite, fortunately so are they.
-
Aye, we're sitting off them way too much.
Feels just like a continuation of the second half on Sat.
-
giving it away way too much.
-
This is worrying. To deep.
-
We will score don't worry.
-
Way too deep keep this up and it’s inevitable we'll concede.
-
Fuck off Dean
-
That was a great challenge by Friend. Would have been 1-0 to us
-
Oo hourihane.
-
Can’t help feeling it would have been better if we needed a goal
-
Hourihane has looked much sharper this evening. Getting into better positions when we do venture into the final third.
-
Get out of the way, Dean, you twat!
-
Fuck sake mike dean breaks up play.
-
Chester just wide
-
Hourihane has looked much sharper this evening. Getting into better positions when we do venture into the final third.
Yes I reckon he’s gonna score.
-
Didn't realise they had Gestede on the bench...hope that doesn't bite us on the arse.
-
We are playing a dangerous game here, get up the fucking pitch!
-
Hutton and Snoddy being on yellows is a worry.
-
Jedinak is a beast. He has won everything tonight.
-
Just in, how are we doing?
-
Just in, how are we doing?
Sitting slightly deep, but solid.
-
I would like us to score soon. No nails left.
-
Just in, how are we doing?
Started ok, sitting too deep since the first 10 minutes. Pulis has come to foul and nick a goal. Both playing crap.
-
Well hopefully that was our shit half.
-
We're solid at the back but fuck me if we spend another 45 minutes playing so deep I do worry.
-
0-0 half time.
Need to step it up second half.
-
jedi man of the half
conor needs to up his game
-
Just in, how are we doing?
Playing like the away side.
-
Jedi best player so far. He’s been rock solid.
-
Got a new iWatch and the bloody thing just buzzed at me to tell my heart rate has gone up for no reason as I’m not moving. Wonder why!
-
Really ropey last 5/10 there. We’re too laboured, we started the game well but the energy has gone. Need to up our drive a lot.
-
We're solid at the back but fuck me if we spend another 45 minutes playing so deep I do worry.
Yeah they need someone to get the midfield moving.
-
For the sake of my poor liver, I really should clear the house of alcohol when we're playing. The more nervous I get, the faster I drink. I'm going to be absolutely fucking cabbaged by full time.
And if it goes to extra time, I might as well book an ambulance now.
-

I'm down to a few toes and we still have 45 min left
-
tempted to get josh on 60 mins
-
tempted to get josh on 60 mins
We need some energy, we look really laboured.
-
Plus M Dean is a ******.

An ambulance would be better than falling asleep, I've done that before. Keep the faith and enjoy getting plastered, I am.
-
Needs to change something. Bree is a liability.
-
The midfield are all playing OK individually but we’re disjointed going forward. Grabban hasn’t been in the game.
-
That Boro fan probably thinks they running rings around us again. merson says we playing dangerous game.

on my 4th Augustiner Edelstoff but its bloody lovely
just wish the footy was bloody lovely
typical SB performance
-

I agree with Merse.
-
Pulis is hanging in and will bring Gestede and Bamford on last 15 minutes.
We need to treat this ball so much better and shift them around more. When we have done, we've created chances.
Grabban isolated. We need more going forwards. Defensively fine and they've created nothing.
-
Urgency please Villa, I believe we need another goal.
-
That was generally poor and yet we've had the better chances. Got to get closer to Grabban. I hope for better, attacking the Holte.
-
oh and can we stop back four to Johnstone to hoof up to Grabban to keep losing the ball please
-
Keith Andrews’s wig has been the only high point so far.
-
We have to get Grabban into the game we are too one dimensional.
-
He is playing for the 0-0....christ

Agreed.
When we have broken quickly he has been the only one in their box.
-
Was that Johnathan Woodgate with tiny penis?
-
Plus M Dean is a c***.
Aye. We have to factor in the fuckeries.
If we don't get a clear cut second even he can't argue with, we increase the likelihood he'll do something daft late on.
-
what happened to albert
been shit since wolves
-
We need to get the ball to Jack in the final third instead of in our own half so much, we've got the beating of this lot.
-
Just thinking same, he’s a passenger. Doesn’t look like he’s gonna beat his man and get a cross in ever again.
-

Like someone said It will be Villa that beat us not Boro
-
Bert not jack.
-
This is playing out exactly as I was worried it might, we've been far too deep and the gameplan seems to be to play for the 0-0. I really hope we don't regret it because if they do manage to get one it's hard to up the tempo from this.
-
thats fucking poor linesman
-
BLoody hell Albert has been poor.
-
Poor. Piss poor.
-
Grabban may as well go and have a sit down.
-
Push the fuck out.
-
Continue playing like this and we might just squeak past these lot tonight.
But we can't play this way for three games in a row and get away with it.
-
Just not picking up the second balls no either. Bruce needs to change it
-
Shit. Piss poor display.
-

They also seem to be getting the bounce of the ball, never a good sign.
-
i was expecting a wolves performance this is wank
or even a blues one
-
I thought we’d play well and win. We’re not even good value for a draw so far.
-
Are we seriously going to try to defend a 1-0 lead for a whole 90 minutes???
-
Just effing get hold of the ball and keep it
-
I feel slightly sick now. Come on you Villa boys!
-
Are we seriously going to try to defend a 1-0 lead for a whole 90 minutes???
Steve Bruce is our manager
-
Come on a Jedi!!
-
Commentators said Holte End not often full but in fine voice tonight. Bullshit!
-

There's been quite a few digs at our support tonight. Twats.

Samba warming up.
-
fuck great move, close by Grabban
-
If we concede we’re fucked, our attitude is far too negative.
-
Fuck off Mike Dean.
-
Grabban should have scored there.
-
Grealish booked
-
Dean what a twat. We’ve been kicked all game and we’ve got 3 yellows. Fuck off.
-
Careful Steve, be proactive.
-
I think Bruce has got it right so far. We're being cautious, bit still looking the better team. There no point going gung ho and conceding chances. Just keep it steady and frustrate them.
-
This is a poor performance. The defence is having to do a lot of work, and we've picked up 3 yellows, fucking about.
-
arrggggghhhh Grabban close again
-
This is a poor performance. The defence is having to do a lot of work, and we've picked up 3 yellows, fucking about.
I think that's a bit harsh, to be honest. We already won the first leg. All we need to do tonight is stay solid. And we're doing it well so far.
-
On one level it’s kind of hilarious that we’re trying to out Pulis Pulis himself by parking the bus for 90 minutes at home.
-
Come on Villa.
-
Come on Villa!
-
We're not parking the bus ffs. We're clearly the better team, and we're dominating.
-
Unsurpisingly, we look much better when Grabban is more involved.
-
Route 1 for Boro now then
-
Rudy on
-
That should be a pen for Chester.
-
Have a very bad feeling about this
-
We're not parking the bus ffs. We're clearly the better team, and we're dominating.
Chill out love. It was a light hearted comment on a football message board.
-
An Adama cross for Rudy to score would be a very Villa way to blow it. I just wish we'd sodding score so as we can relax a tad.
-
fucking hell Jack close now
-
That should be a pen for Chester.
Not according to Matt Taylor on Talksport, his studs went?
-
Nice from Jack
-
So close Jack
-
That should be a pen for Chester.
Not according to Matt Taylor on Talksport, his studs went?
That was hotlips. Chester's shirt was ripped he was being pulled back so much.
-

His studs must have ripped his shirt to shreds at the same time then.
-
Trust in Bruce. We're going to Wembley :D ;D ;D :D ;)
-
I love Snodgrass
-
Frak me how many more before he gives them another yellow!
-
Great strike Jack. Bit of pressure and they’re coming apart need to keep them on the ropes.
-
Their biggest danger man is Mike Dean, wouldn’t put a soft pen past him the one eyed gimp
-
Kodjia for Grabban.
-
Cometh the hour cometh the Kodj
-
Grabban off, Kod on.
-
Now's the time Kodjia, lad.
-
Pencils in nostrils. Underpants on head. Watching through fingers saying wibble, wibble.......
-
Finally Besic booked
-
is it just me or does snoddy always look like hes recovering from a 10 pinter
-
Following on this match thread, it’s horrible.
-
This is much better, we're closing them higher up the pitch so when we get the ball we're not just lumping it up field so they can come back. Means we're creating chances as well.
-
is it just me or does snoddy always look like hes recovering from a 10 pinter
He's worked his nuts off as usual
-
Pullis sends on a defender to protect the scoreless draw, can’t help himself can he
-
Following on this match thread, it’s horrible.
We've been better this half.
Better since Boro's subs, ironically.
-
Oh fuck, we are going to defen defen defend defend
-
It helps that Boro are utter shit,
Whelan on, Hotlips off
-
Whelan for Hourihane
-
Following on this match thread, it’s horrible.
We’re playing well now. All over them and all happening at their end.
-
Pullis sends on a defender to protect the scoreless draw, can’t help himself can he
In fairness, to replace another one. Based purely on his name, I'm presuming Fabio is more attack-minded than Shotton.
-
Whelan for Hourihane
Bruce going for it.
-
Pullis sends on a defender to protect the scoreless draw, can’t help himself can he
To be fair he's sent on an attacking fullback to replace a guy who's more like a centre half so it's not a defensive sub. Fabio should've started but Shotton is his long-throw specialist.
-
15 shots to Boro's 3. 5 on target to their big fat 0
-
5 mins of purgatory
-
That was nearly Mr Fuck up coming home.
-
can't watch going in the garden
-
Ffs Johnson come on! Lucky not to be sent off there
-
What the fuck is he doing? That should be a red
-
Fuck me. Free kick for them. Very dangerous position
-
Madness from Johnstone. Lucky me to get a red
-
I'd be livid if that wasn't a red the other way round.
-
Thank you Mr Dean. Jesus. Heart in mouth, there
-
aaaaaaahhhhhhhh Downing you wanker!!! Off the bar
-
Crossbar. LET OFF
-
Downing hits the bar.
-
Rat face hits te crossbar!
-
Well that could be the time that makes it our night
-
I'd be livid if that wasn't a red the other way round.
Agreed
-
I'm starting to feel a bit nauseous.
-
Fucking hell Johnstone you're very lucky.
-
Fuck me that was close.
Glad I'm pissed. Otherwise I'd be really worried.
-
lucky lucky lucky. This is why I hate the idea of playing for the clean sheet, chances can come from nothing.
-
Bjarnasson for Adomah
-
Barney on for Albert
-
jesus
-
4 minutes added on
-
Hope it doesn’t go to extra time as we have gone completely defensive now
-
Jedi MOTM
-
My stream has gone. Didn't see the freekick hit the bar. Jesus christ. Come on Villa!!
-
Fuck me
-
We never seem to do it easy do we? I want to see the giant flag.
-
Jimmy looks sharper.
-
Great experience from Snoddy there
-
Back to the Johnstone handball. We would be going nuts if that happened to us. Terry has clearly convinced Dean as to who needs to win.
-
2 mins left and i've aged 5 years already
-
I love this club, fucking hell.
-

He saw it as he gave the foul, how it wasn't a red i'll never know.
-

I'm watching this through a Game-feed and am nervous as all heck. It's probably good that I can't get a video feed.

Yep a shocking decision. And so stupid from Johnstone.
-
Come on Dean you wanker!
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Wemberley......
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
FT
-
not on the pitch
-
Dark days return to Villa Park
-
Fuck yes! Finished.
-
Yes! Get in,!
-
