We need 30 points from this one. But I will be happy with three.
I will be in attendance with she-who-must-be-obeyed and my dad so I am expecting to see spanking of the World Cup-winning, bubble-blowing, chirpy Cockerney, jellied-eel slurping, knees-up lahvin' Kit-Stealers.
3-1 to the mighty Villa.
-
I won't be there. 8-0 to us in the performance of the century.
-
I was about to post that what I have predicted is beyond the realms of known Physics. But then Legion gave us even greater hope.
-
Home win. It just has to be, doesn't it?!
-
I won't be there. 8-0 to us in the performance of the century.
Such thoughtfulness towards us at this special time of year! Thanks Leeg!

BE, in time honoured match thread tradition feel free to "give the wankers" and "beat the traffic".
-
Home win, 1-0, Ayew, Merry Christmas.
-
0-0 or 0-1 defeat.
-
As per the first post...repeat of Boxing Day 1991 please
-
Scrappy 1-0 home win.
-
I'm going for a home win,it must be the Christmas Spirit.
-
BE, in time honoured match thread tradition feel free to "give the wankers" and "beat the traffic".
We are getting picked up from somewhere along the Lichfield Road after the game but will never "beat the traffic" while we are at Villa Park. I might give a few "the wankers" though.

A repeat of the Boxing Day scoreline 40 years ago would make it a very happy xmas.

-
It's being played at the Villa's least favourite ground so West Ham win.
-
I won't be there. 8-0 to us in the performance of the century.
No Leeg, no Mr Shin, no SligoTom. Victory is guaranteed

We score early, they have a man sent off.
We win 2-0
We become

Only a win will do. Ten wins would be a bonus.
-
Apologies to all as I've gone for a home win. As such, suggest you place a big bet on the 'Appy 'Ammers to win!!
Hopefully though, the only bubbles they'll be blowing at the end of the match will be out of their arses!!
-
A struggling 1-0 win but a win is a win
-
Sorry but nah!
IMHO this team is incapable of beating anyone in the top two tiers of English football. They just don't have it in them.
Probably another draw if we are on something like our 'A game'.
-
A scrappy but lucky 9-0 victory to the Villa.
-
First time I've gone for a Villa win in a long time. Attack attack attack.... they have lots of injuries too so no excuses, we must go for it. 3-2.
-
4-0 win. And Ray Stewart missing a penalty for them. Wankers
-
Alvin Martin injured in the warm-up. Unknown teenager called Ince with a big Afro curls in a long range 'wonder goal' as the Villa defence melts away in front of him.
So only 5-1 Villa
-

Why stop the silly hyperbole there?
I don't think they're good enough to beat anybody in League football.
Actually, screw it - top five divisions. National League North and below. We're not capable of any better than that.

The Villa 2 Ayew(2) - The Kit Stealers 1 (Collins)
UTV
The Doc
-
First time I've gone for a Villa win in a long time. Attack attack attack.... they have lots of injuries too so no excuses, we must go for it. 3-2.
I would go with:
Guzan
Hutton Okore Lescott ?
Veretout Gana
Sinclair Gil Ayew
Gestede
Subs: Bunn, Clark, Richardson, Westwood, Sanchez, Traore, Grealish
I would prefer Richards at RB but don't think he will be fit. I can't bring myself to consider the options at left back, but I am guessing it will be Bacuna again. Gestede is in as he is the only option.
-
Well done Leeg for staying away in our hour of need!!
-
I am really feeling positive about this one.* It's Boxing Day, we're at home, the team is showing signs of fight, the Kit-Stealers are not at full-strength, Rémi Garde is slowly putting his ideas in place...
*I really, really shouldn't though, it'll be less depressing at FT.
-
What is this positivity you speak of Bad english - what sort of weird magic is that?
I've got a feeling too..............two wins and above Sunderland
-
0-2
Just cant see us getting anything ever again.
-
3-2 Villa. Gestede with 2 and okore with the other.
-

my first game.
same again please.
-
A depressing 2-1 defeat - Ayew to score a late consolation for us.
We never win on Boxing Day!
-
We never win on Boxing Day!
Fixed
-
Well it's must win, as I seem to say every week, but really we need to win our next three games.
-
At least Gabby won't be playing, he'll still be eating his Christmas dinner. As for the game itself I think our best bet is to keep it tight for 85 mins then start lumping it into the mixer and hope someone gets on the end of one. I've done my coaching badges you know.
-
We have to win... nothing more to be said!
-
Fack the fackers. Villa win in surprisingly routine fashion.
-
For the first time this season I am confident of a Villa win.
2-0, or possibly 2-1.
-
Let's win this one. We're slowly getting there...which we would have a lot quicker had Sherwood not messed around with the team week in and week out.
Gestede and Ayew up top would be nice...
-
A scrappy but lucky 9-0 victory to the Villa.
Busy time of year? One or two sherries too many at the Congregation's Dwelling?
-
I'm optimistic for this one. I feel that we will take our stronger showing in the second half against Newcastle and screw the screwers.
-
The old memory banks might be struggling, but didn't we beat West Ham 4-0 when Billy McNeill was in charge?
Too little too late then as well - so I'm going 4-0 to us in tribute to the 86/87 squad.
-
West Ham have sold out their 3000. Fair play to them.

Looking on the OS, should be a good crowd generally. The Holte and The North are virtually full.

I don't think it will be far off 40k. They normally sell out their allocation don't they?
-
Perhaps my stinking cold has addled me noodle into a strange state of positivity, but I'm actually going for a HOME WIN! :o
2:1 to The Villa - after going behind early doors c/o Guzan throwing the ball into his own net.
-
Just. Win.
-
They are there for the takingbut Villa Park is a tricky ground and we never seem to win there. I think I've been there more than any other ground and still can barely remember a victory. We did have a 2-2 earlier in the year I seem to remember. Anyway, because of that, and we don't travel at all well to B6, I'm going for the obligatory 1-3.
-
Moses, Payet, Sakho and (hopefully) Lanzini out for them, but Andy Carroll may be back. He doesn't score that many (that's jinxed it then) but he's a handful, especially for our defence. If he plays we'll draw, if he doesn't we'll win. I'm going 2-1 to us

A guy I work with is taking his family of six on a four-hour round trip to the game. Not a single Villa fan amongst them, just fancied a boxing day trip to the football.
Who knows, maybe a rare good performance might bring in a new young supporter or two.
-
2-1 Villa win
-
Hopefully Richards fit for this one. Need him, Okore and Lescott in the mix in defence. Put Adama in for Sinclair who offers very little. Add Gil for Westwood. Need to go for it - single points aren't much use.
-
I actually think we'll WIN.
Forgotten the feeling, but, yes - a WIN !
-
Hopefully the rest of the team would have seen the shift that Ayew put in and think that perhaps they could have a go as well ::)
I like sinclair, but Adama deserves a go, "team player" or not. Maybe when they "trip" him, yellow cards might happen, so they have to keep back.
Yep, fantasy land, but I think a win is there, if Villa want it.
-
3-0
-
Looking at oddschecker it's the first time in a while that we are actually the favourites!
-
A must win. If we can't win a game like this we're well and truly done for. We've got a couple of players in some reasonable form. I think we've got something to build on from the second half at the weekend. We've a reasonable record at VP against them.
2-1 Villa. An absolute arse clencher of a game probably, but we'll scrape it I think. The key then would be how we follow it up and whether we can build on a result.

They must have really pissed him off this year.
-
Their away league form is P9: W4 - D3 - L2
Going for 1-1 or 1-2 them.
-
If we win, I think I might cry
-
1-1 for me
-
3-1 Villa win.
Back to the old tradition of beating West Ham at Villa Park on Boxing Day.
-
40,000 fans and let's have 40,000 balloons like we did all those years ago v West Ham
Best turn out of balloons ever
3-1 us
Come on villa
-
Another 1-1 for me.
-
I won't be there. 8-0 to us in the performance of the century.
No Leeg, no Mr Shin, no SligoTom. Victory is guaranteed
No me either.
-
We're due a win and a good performance at Villa Park, I have a strange feeling we'll get both.
3-1
Merry Christmas one and all, the Bells will be ringing for the Claret & Blue again, the real ones not the stealers!
UTV!
-
I'd stick with the same starting line up as last week. I'm not a fan of Westwood but having him in there let Veretout and also at times Gana push forward a bit more and we looked good with it, well in the second half anyway.
-
I'm encouraged after the fight & effort in the second half at Newcastle. I think we'll get that second win. 1-0 to the Villa.
-
We really need a win it's got to happen soon I hope so why not now I'm going for a 1-0 win for us.
-
2-1 to the villa, Merry xmas all.
-
The force awakens. 2-0 Villa.
-
The last time we won a league game at home was against ?
-
The last time we won a league game at home was against ?
Albion? Or this lot?
-
Oh crap...I wasn't paying attention and clicked the wrong prediction...I meant to click a Villa win..2-0.
I'm thinking Guzan is such a liability we replace him with a defender and play rush keeper.
-
This is a crucial game now.
We have at least started to draw a few games lately so that should've increased confidence slightly.
If you think back to West Ham home games in recent times we beat them under Lambert to kick start our great escape of 12/13 and last year's win pretty much secured safety.
Also players West Ham will have missing: Winston Reid, Payet, Victor Moses Sakho, Lanzini. Pretty mucg their five best players.
It is a good squad though, the line up they put out v Swansea was very solid so it will be hard work to score past them.
Also worried they have a powehouse midfield that will be too much for our powderpuff trio.
1-1.
-
Last time we played WHU on Boxing Day was 4-1 Villa.
Wouldn't say no to a repeat
-
I've gone for an away win a) because I think we'll lose and b) because my predictions are usually utter gash and I hope this latest one is too.
-
It feels like our last home win was against the flecking royal engineers under gas lights
-
Villa 5-4 Olympic Park Wankers.
Westwood to score straight from a corner in the 9th minute of added on time.
-
3-0 home win.
-
1-0 win
-
Ayew 1 Hammers 0
-
Gil should start in this one.
He's got more art in that left foot than most of the other fu*kers put together.
And Sanchez needs to have some wipers fitted to his specs/visor/monocle.
-
Guzan
Hutton clark lescott bacuna
. Sanchez veretout gana
Ayew gestede Sinclair
1-0 villa
-
I don't like the term 'must win' games because there's still half the season to go.
But we have to start turning things around now so fuck it, this really is a 'must win' game. It's that simple.
2-0 Ayew and Vertout.
-
I'm going for a 3-0 Villa win. Gueye,Gana and Idrissa.
-

Good call. About time those three pulled their finger out.
-
As per the first post...repeat of Boxing Day 1991 please
I wish we had Yorke and Daley in this team too.
-
If we can start on the front foot and not kill ourselves with stupid defending we will be OK. Ayew and a late Traore goal for 2 1. Carroll for them.
-
44 mins in for the 1991 West Ham Boxing Day game
-
might be time to get Grealish back involved, he was our best player against these last season.
expect though that the side that finished against Newcastle, will start this one.
-
As someone else said, if we can not fuck things up with a simple give away goal early then I fancy us picking up one of those mythical 3 point things.
-
Straightforward no nonsense 2-0 home win. Haha who am I kidding.
-
2 - 1 Villa, Ayew and Traore for us, Geoff Hurst for them.
-
2 - 1 Villa, Ayew and Traore for us, Geoff Hurst for them.
Or Harry Rednapp.
-
2 - 1 Villa, Ayew and Traore for us, Geoff Hurst for them.
Thats just fantasy - WHam will probably mark Ayew out of the game and will kick Traore off the pitch and get a man sent off for their trouble.
So I'm going with 2 -1 Veretout and Bacuna for us, (and still) Geoff Hurst for them.
-
Lanzini is fit again. So will probably play.
-
Lanzini is fit again. So will probably play.
I thought Lanzini was a girl's drink
-
I am not going so obviously we will win. Let's call it 2-1.
-
Lose 1-2 Ayew to score again.
-
2 -1 to us and a chicken balti pie before kick off. The pie's for me not the team.
Ayew and Gestede for us. Who cares for them.
-
3-1 Villa and we'll go the rest of the season unbeaten.
-
Bilic is a wily fox..villa win..can't consider anything else.
-
If, and that's a massive if, but IF we are winning with say 10 mins to go, can you imagine the nerves amongst the fans?
Squeaky bum time doesn't even come close!
-
Could moderators please ban any negativity. We have just about had enough shit to last a lifetime. Positive thinking only. The first Villa fan in the pub on Saturday who says were gonna lose will be told.
Villa 4 West Ham 1. You heard it here first.
-
3-1 Villa and we'll go the rest of the season unbeaten.
like your style mate
-

1 win and 20 draws, 30 points.

If we play an actual left-back in the left-back position, we will increase our chances of winning. Heart says win, head says no. Fuck you head.
-
I'm going for a 3-1 win and the start of an unbeaten 3 month run.
-
F**k it, going 2-0 Villa - Veretout and Ayew
-

There's no actual left back available until Jan, unless Kinsella plays

Play Clarke at LB? He's played there before.

He was awful there as well. I think Bacuna's done ok. Not brilliant but he should be fine there for the next three games until someone comes in.
-
Cissokho not available to fill the LB void until AFTER the Blunderland game on January 2nd.
-
Strong feeling that we will secure our 2nd league win of the season, 10 points after 18 games matching Leicester's situation at the same stage of last season 3-0 to Villa
-
Xmas wish to Remi:
Guzan
Richards Okore Clark Lescott
Bacuna Veretout Gana
Traore Gil
Ayew
or, if Richards not fit, play Hutton at right back + could put Traore in place of Bacuna and play Ayew & Gestede uo front.
If so, Villa to win by a record score for a Boxing day match!!!!

Doing a bit of reminiscing and, in so doing, probably giving away the fact that I'm turning 60 in a few days time! I was thinking of past Christmas holiday games at Villa Park and I particularly remember going to a game against West Ham in 1965 that was abandoned due to a frozen pitch after 30 minutes. It was 0-0 at the time and the game was replayed in February with Villa losing 2-1. These were the days when you played the same club, home and away, over two consecutive days at Christmas and the abandoned home match was played on December 27th, the day after Boxing Day. The December 28th return fixture at Upton Park was postponed and rearranged for March. We lost that one 4-2.
I was nine years old at the time but remember Hurst, Moore and Peters playing for the Hammers and also a Villa fan coming on to the pitch when the referee took the players off pitch and, following the announcement of the abandonment, trying to beckon fellow Holte Enders to follow him.
Happy days!

We're so brittle confidence wise. If they score we've had it. 0-2

We went a goal down at newcastle and came back.

Are you going to chase me around on every thread? my point was when we scored against Newcastle we looked better than we had for ages for a while. You didn't see that?

No, your point was if they score, we've had it and Newcastle showed that wasn't the case.

On the one hand you said that if the opposition score we're fucked, then you said that in our last game we looked better once the opposition scored.

yes, and we went a goal behind so we came back. Didn't you see that?

I never said we looked better when the opposition scored though
-
We bottomed out at Newcastle. We will start to play better now. The players are starting to look fitter. The score is hard to call but it will be a good game. Looking forward to it.

Confidence? Newcastle had just come off two matches where they had beaten Lpool and Spurs back to back.
-
I to think we have finally hit the bottom of that learning curve against Arsenal and the Newcastle game was the first step in the upwards direction.
Think veretout can be our driving force from midfield in the mould of sir Dennis Mortimer.

20 (20) Leicester City 18 2 4 12 16 31 -15 10
A nice bonus of us winning would be seeing the experts in knots about that stat they've been trotting out for the past month about a club never surviving from the points tally we had.
-
I think it's going to do take more than 1 win to do that eamonn.
-
We can't allow a home weekend now go by with the gap remaining the same - we must win, will we? I think we're beat West Ham, not quite as positive of what we have in front of us including the Sunderland game.
-
Is Richards still out?
-
Doubtful apparently (http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php#c2)

We will lose ,

A South Westerly will be gusting up to 37mph according to the Met Office.
It will be important to play to the conditions. We did this quite well in SE Scotland last week.

Good chap,UKR. You are a man for all seasons.
I hope somebody tips off Brad, though. We could do without any cock ups on the goal kicking front.
-
looking like a good crowd tomorrow .. or even today
just went online to buy 2 more tickets and theres not 2 together anywhere in the holte
in fact the only place you can get 2 together is upper trinity ,upper DE and uppper north
with people turning up on the day at the ticket office it wont be far off 38 thou
-
We will lose ,
where's your stiff upper lip man? Never give in. Never!!! 4-1 to the Villa boys.
-
Please just win Villa.
-
FIFA 16 predicts 1-1 - Noble (25) and then Gueye (68)
-
Been that long since we won I would just love that feeling tonight of wanting to see match of the day to watch it again. Come in Villa do it!
-
Don't know if it's the sprouts but I've woken up with real wind in my sails and reckon today will provide our second win of the season. 2-1 (Aspinall, Lillis).

Great idea! My journey will also be wind assisted. Nothing to do with what I ate yesterday of course...
-
I hope you will be sitting facing forward today UKR.
It was a day like today that Sailor Brown scored an own goal from a goal kick. Guzan please note.
-
I know this is not the right thread but here goes anyway. I recently went on a tour of Villa Park. One of the things that really struck me was this. We were shown the players lounge and the guy showed us 2 tv's where the players can relax after the game and watch football together. The newcomers apparently sit around one tv and the older lot watch the other one. They are at opposite ends of the lounge and he said hardly a word is spoken between the two sides. This was allowed to happen under Sherwoods watch. That was 3 weeks ago. I hope to god Remi has addressed this situation now. It's obvious to me that if we are to have any chance of surviving this season then the players have to be united and battle for each other. (Leicester spring to mind) I will be looking for signs today that the boys have bonded and are in it together. We will do our bit as ever. Over to you then players.
-
When did we last win on boxing day? 4-0 vs everton? If so thats ten years although don't think we played in 2009, it was day after.
-
FIFA 16 predicts 1-1 - Noble (25) and then Gueye (68)
4-1 to the Villa it is then.

I played this fixture last week and we draw 1-1 with a Grealish header

Quick question, travelling up from Monkspath by taxi. Where is the best place to get dropped off (or are taxis able to approach the ground)? In Trinity Upper A2 for the game.
Cheers!

Probably the area around the church / Witton Arms / Flyover beneath the Expressway. Then a short walk to the left of the Holte pub and into the Trinity.

Wearing my xmas jumper to the game today. If we win I hereby declare I'll wear it to the remaining home games I go to rest of the season so standby for 30 degree + heat for April and May games!
-
I'm going for a nervy 2-1 win. Ayew and Veretout for us, with the Bubble Blowers scoring late on to leave us sweating for the last few minutes.

I'm doing the same. At least it's a Villa one, complete with bells attached.
-
We will win today, 3-0.
Fuck the fuckers.
-
I will be there today. This is not a good omen - I haven't seen a home league win in almost 10 years (I do live in Asia...) My infrequent visits home usually coincide with games against Man U or other unbeatable sides like Wigan and Wolves... Anyway, the last win I saw just happened to be against West Ham - John Carew's home debut. So today we lift the curse - a 2.0 win. Come on!!!!
-
Here's hoping your visit home is a happy one with 3 points Vic.
I am rejuvenated and think a little run may have begun last week.
A win today, a massive confidence boost and then onwards.

I have booked a taxi for 1pm. Am meeting up with brother outside Trinity entrance A (adjacent to Holte). Could say hello outside!
-
Also, thanks to Marlon and Edge for tips. Ta!

We won't have a seller there. You'll have to nip over to my corner.
-
Darren I will look for you. I am still not convinced that Damon will be allowed the time off by his bosses, the situation in Cumbria being the way it is.
-
If I am there early. Which corner am you on?

I hope you don't end up going to the Boggies, talking like that!

I played this fixture last week and we draw 1-1 with a Grealish header
Jack never heads the ball. This may be to do with his hairstyle.
And he never plays either.

Thanks mate. I'd be happy with just seeing a goal to be honest!

And he never plays either.

Booked a taxi? What has happened to our grass root support.... Number 8 and 11 still run quite regularly if you would like to know!

Just leaving, with a spring in my step, a song in my heart and gagging for 3 points today!
Come on you Villa boys!

the Noses were right. We truly are drawing our support from the gentrified classes.

I'm doing my bit for the grass roots by sitting on the no11 as I type. It's a lovely bus.

Big enough stretch of water by Spaghetti Junction. He can just nip down there and pretend. He'll be able to find someone at the game with a northern accent to act as random distressed northerner.
-
Not going to be there
If we win, we'll stay up! There, I've said it.
... Okay, if we win we may stay up!
-
If I am there early. Which corner am you on?
Either by the North Stand on Witton Lane or over the road by the badge seller.
-
I am wearing a 3/4 length black overcoat, dark-blue jeans, "proud history er " bright future " scarf and a Chicago Villains lapel badge. SWMBO has deffed me out.

Buy one from our Tyler (on the other side of the road from the church) in the interests of Conway Mods solidarity.

Are going to a football match or making a move in the Italian quater
-
West Ham haven't won for a few games, and Andy Carroll is supposedly back, so I reckon 3-1 to them.
-
If Carroll is fit he always bullies us to death.
-
Wow, nearly seventy percent think it's a home win!!!
I'll have whatever you have been drinking :D
Can' be their today, have gone for a 'ammmers victory.
Just hope it's a good game and there will be some positive comments later.
Hope you have all had a lovely Christmas

I'm in Surfers Paradise Oz looking at this thread and clinging to the fact that we passed a place called 'VillaWood' this afternoon as some sort of omen of a win today.......... Any team news?
-
Wish I'd got a ticket now, I was supposed to be at a friends for lunch but they got stuck up north.
-
Geared for Sinclair only team change. We seek to draw again...
