When: Sunday 31 August kick off 7pm.
Where: Villa Park
Time to stop being silly and get the season going properly.
-
They would have had a flea in their ear all week and we're due to beat Palace. I'm going for an unconvincing 2-0 win that still provides more questions than answers.
-
A few shots at goal would be nice
-
Christ.
Nervy Villa Park, shite time. Cliche but need an early goal, or nerves will take over. Ive heard they’ve returned lots of tickets, if true I can’t say I blame them, given the journey and such a shit time of the week. We need to be noisy.
Head says 0-2 them, but feck that, 2-0 us (Watkins 2).
-
Crystal sodding Palace. Hello darkness my old friend. I know they've sold him but I still expect Eze to score against us. Can someone buy Sarr before Sunday, please?
-
Palace only took the lower tier of the away allocation so anyone wanting tickets together may have more joy in the upper as it can be a struggle elsewhere.
-
We don't let them bring a drum do we?
-
Don’t be meek please Unai.
-
We badly need a win. It'll be a draw.
-
Drop Watkins and Rogers, start Malen and Guessand.
3-1 Villa FTF.
-
Tielemans and SJM double pivot.
Malen Rogers Guessand
Watkins
Please Unai.
2-1.
-
Of all teams to play when we’re nervy.
The streak ends here.
We score a late goal to nick it by one.
-
Martinez
Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen
Tielemans, McGinn
Malen, Rogers, Guessand
Watkins
We can hardly be as bad again

Yup, loads in P8-P11 at the moment. First of the season for me and the kids.

Their support outside of London is shite.

Would probably go with this.
Been thinking back to our first bad run under Unai, when from memory we got tonked at home by Leicester, Liverpool away and Arsenal at home in successive weeks. Didnt we scrape a 1-0 at home to Palace to stop the rot and then weht on a great run.
-
We owe these drum wankers one.
-
we will come out flying and we will win.

I've never met any outside of the CR and double digit SE postcodes. They are a locals' team. Can't see what appeal the team would have outside of that area tbh
Getting out of and into that area at that time on a Sunday for a game that's on TV; I can see the appeal of not going...
-
We'll squeak a narrow win and I'll try to hide my smirk in the office Mon...
-
One of the many reasons I love having been born a Villa fan is that we don't have any of the drum and Ultras wank going on...

It used to be you had 10% off a season ticket if you were a CR council tax payer.

If we parade all our latest summer signings before kick-off, it could help give the team and crowd a lift.
-
We don't let them bring a drum do we?
Oh don't! I've still got a migraine from the one they brought into Wembley stadium (with the illicit fireworks while I got my handbag-sized hairspray confiscated: riddle me that???)
Let's do 'em under the Villa Park lights 3-0.
No, I haven't had a drink!
