Come on Villa please turn up and win.
-
Like it. Have it!!

-
Here we go...fasten your seatbelts.
-
that will do come on Villa boys !!
-
Nervous as hell. It's the most sensible line up. Let's do it for the gaffer today boys.
-
For the game ahead that's the best line we could have hoped for and possibly our strongest 11.
I'm sure SB has done and said his bit all week.
To the players - time to shine boys
Over to you
UTV
-
Happy with that. Feeling remarkably calm for some reason
-
Nervously excited.
-
Time to deliver. Ideal line-up for Tiny Penis hoofball. They'll be physical, ref will need to protect Jack as Clayton will no doubt try to kick him into next week. Stand strong, Villa and show your class in attack.
-
First can has just been opened, game on.
-
Straight red early doors please Adama.
-
I’m staying off this thread today. Already nervous enough
Key tests today:
1. Adama - need to double up on him and terry will hopefullyy read his crosses when he inevitably beats his man
2. Counter their muscle in midfield - id have played Bjarnason over hourihane
3. Set pieces - should be well placed w Jedinak plus all four defenders are good in the air
Still have a horrible feeling we’ll lose this by a couple of goals; but I was nervous v wolves and blues and that worked out well
-
I fucking knew it. The pub has got some fucking piss-swilling objects-up-the-arse let's-cup-each-others-slenders we're-real-men pile of absolute fucking crack rugby on, and not the Villa.
-
Happy with that line up.
My stress levels are running high and I can't even get drunk as I am on call!
-
That's the team I'd pick. Crucial to get Jack involved and in space.
-
No surprises with either team selection, though I'm happy Bamford is on bench. We do look very light on full back cover so fingers crossed no injuries in either position. Hourihane to justify his inclusion with a goal. UTV
-
The home team has failed to win any of the past 11 matches between Middlesbrough and Aston Villa in all competitions,
What a weird sequence
-
Come on you Villa boys!!! UTV!
-
Come on you Villa Boys! Fucking have 'em!
-
Come on Jack carry us back to the top flight.
-
Well that’s the best we have and they are on the pitch so can’t complain. Looking at their line up he is going to rely on counter attacking.
-
Monkey 47 just poured ... stops the nerves
best line up i think and good bench ..... come on Villa 0-2
-
Come on Jack carry us back to the top flight.
This.
Jack will be our playoff saviour.

No Matt! Don't worry.
We will be fine. If they can score a couple of goals, so can we.
-
Nervous smervous
-
watching some golf to take my mind off things before kick off. Tiger Woods just tearing it up at the Players. -9 now, incredibly -8 through 12 holes today.
-
Only football can tie your stomach in knots like this. Here we go!
-
All we have to do is win 4-0 and then we can all relax. I wish.
-
It's the right lineup, but I'm just glad Taylor is injured...
-
Come on you Villa Boys!
-
All we have to do is win 4-0 and then we can all relax. I wish.
possible
-
Come on villa...I fuckin love you...please don't let me down.
-
Coming up next........
Cue the nerves!
C’MON ME VILLA BABBIES !!!!
-
I'm really not looking forward to this. These games are almost too important for me to wrap my little head around.
-
Surprised Bamford is on the bench for them, he's scored loads since Pulis came in.
-
Second can opened, house to myself, volume adjusted accordingly, come on Villa, make me proud.
-
Come on you lions ! Some of you have fought hard for the cause all season..... the biggest stage so far is set, let’s see you step up and deliver ....please
-
Just poured the first Black Velvet of the day; more to follow.
This is the first of my viewed play-offs this weekend; missed the U23. Tomorrow, Harrogate Town play in their final play-off in front of a capacity crowd of 2,800 against Brackley Town. I'll be there...
-
just 3 words - up the Villa
-
It's bouncing in here.
Fucking come on you Villa!!
-
my 65 inch just packed in . had to borrow my sons 32 inch ffs

Looks like Madley's going to be a homer
Madley is from Leeds - he was my reffing contact for the West Yorks FA
-

-
comentator hes got to get use of that

Ref looks a Homer.
-

Jack fouled again and Snodgrass should have shot!

Feisty stuff!!

Jedi started well.

What’s with this fucking towel business....******.
-
Ah the towel drying trick

Raised arm I think. Ridiculous.

Raised arm I think. Ridiculous.

-
Get the fuck in!!!
-
Every time we get a throw, insist on waiting for the towel.
-
How we need that - Madley is clearly going to reduce us to 10 men sooner or later
-
Get in there, fucking shocking defending though.
-
Fucking yesssssss!
-
Somebody burn those fucking towels the ball boys have please.
-
Great inswinging corner.
-
PS. The ref is a total and complete bastard.
-
That's settled the nerves a bit.
-
These ****** are on the ropes, kill em off now!
-
Lovely touch by Jack
-
These are shit, let's finish it today.
-
PS. The ref is a total and complete BORO SUPPORTING bastard.
FTFY
-
I would love Elmo to ask one of the ball boys to use towel :)
-
For fuck sake Madley is just taking the piss now
-
Playing against 12 men
-
They are scared shitless of Grealish!!
-
Madley really is a fucking awful referee.
-
Shoddy is a but too worked up. Needs to settle down and the shit em.
-
Super Jack tackle
-
How we need that - Madley is clearly going to reduce us to 10 men sooner or later
Indeed
-
loved that tackle on adama
well done jack
-
They are scared shitless of Grealish!!
Don't worry - Madley will give plenty of protection to the players kicking lumps out of him
-
boook the cnut
-
Traore dirty.
-
ref's a wanker
-
How late was that whistle for the foul on Jack! Ref's a wanker of the highest order.
-
PM please anyone??
Thanks in advance!
UTV
-
That's got to be a yellow, poor from the ref.
Grealish is terrifying them and Jedi is much better in the air than anyone they have.
-
PM please anyone??
Thanks in advance!
UTV
Theresa May
-
PM please anyone??
Thanks in advance!
UTV
Theresa May
Haha bravo.
-

-
PM please anyone??
Thanks in advance!
UTV
And me please!
-
Watching in Perth Australia. I've been waiting all night for the game to start. It's nearly 1 am Sunday here and been drinking all night, now on the scotch I'm that nervous. What a great start. Come on you Villa boys.
-
Appleyard limping
-
Johnstone really has to see a kicking coach over the summer; fucking awful.
-
Terry's took a knock.
-
hutton did good there
-
The 30 second drying-the-ball-with-a-towel trick should have been sorted out years ago.
-
jedis distribution shit there
-

Shirley we can borrow it later on?
-
chance there
-
Close Snoddy. Good work by Albert
-
we're giving the ball away too much.
But as long as Assombalonga's playing we should be okay :-)
-
Shoddy close
-
Snodgrass should do better there, should've hit the target.
-
Ah Snoddy!
-
PM please anyone??
Thanks in advance!
UTV
Download DAZN from the App Store. It’s $20 a month but we’ll worth. Watch the game in hi definition.
-
Fuck me thought that was going to be 1-1
-

PMSL
-
Wait until they give you towel, Elmo, FFS.
-
Who'd have thought a game between Pulis and Bruce would be so end to end.
-
we're giving the ball away too much.
But as long as Assombalonga's playing we should be okay :-)
PMSL
??
-
The irony of the Boro fan's whistling for Elmo to hurry up and take the throw in.
-
What's the point of throwing for Grabban t ohead on when there's no one anywhere near him? It's just giving them the ball.
-
we're giving the ball away too much.
But as long as Assombalonga's playing we should be okay :-)
PMSL
??
PMSL = Piss my self laughing
-
Starting sitting too deep
-
Fuck - lucky there.
-
Sitting back too much for my liking. Asking for trouble.
-
Another let off
-
Great saves. Need to tighten up.
-
Some warning signs now.
-
Traore bloody dangerous.
-
phew
-
we're giving the ball away too much.
But as long as Assombalonga's playing we should be okay :-)
PMSL
??
PMSL = Piss my self laughing
Aha - thanks.
-
Just noticed the goal. Get in!
-
Not just too deep but too narrow as well, traore and Downing are getting a lot of space at the minute.
We're also punting and it's not sticking so they just keep coming back.
-
Letting them dominate too much now
-
Grealish is god
-
Push out FFS Villa.
-
Jack might have done better to wait for support there. Tame shot.
-
Certainly sitting too deep.
-
Good run by Jack, shame about the end. Adama is a real threat.
-
That would have been goal of the decade.
-
Jack nearly scored one of the greatest goals in club history
-
Traore’s good isn’t he :-(
-
Is Madley TRYING to wind Grealish up? What's he at.
-
Snoddy looks half asleep.
-
Fuck, Grealish is some player.
-
Is this supposed to be sold out? Lots of empty seats. maybe they're corporate?
-
Good run by Jack, shame about the end. Adama is a real threat.
Adama is the player that many people on here suspected he'd become. We should've tried much harder to keep hold of him.

Don’t worry about it
-
Traore is bloody dangerous.
-
Tight now villa
-
We need to Notts County Adama
-
Is this supposed to be sold out? Lots of empty seats. maybe they're corporate?
Not sold out by quite a few
-
fuckkkkk
-
On the Jack run, I agree, that would've been a absolute worldy if he'd got a better shot off.
-
Fuck poster
-
Fuck me, close from Snoddy.
-
Fuck Off the post
-
Ohh fucking post. Great by Snoddy
-
Hit the post!
-

Not sold out by quite a few
Thamks
-
Great save it has to be said
-
That's a brilliant save, kept them in the game there.
-
Great save great shot.
-
Unlucky Snoddy. Good attempt, good save.
-
Traore's a genuine threat
-
Adama is doing us far too often.
-
thought it was in when he hit it
bloody goalkeeper
-
that will do
-
Well done boys
-
Fuck Traore.
-
the last Jedi!
-
Good half. At least we won't have as bad a referee on Tuesday. Oh....
-
Did well, gotta stop Adama though.
-
Adama is doing us far too often.
He’s a very good player.
-
Fuck Off the post
Do you mean "Fuck, off the post" or "Fuck off, the post"? :-)
-
Fuck Off the post
Do you mean "Fuck, off the post" or "Fuck off, the post"? :-)
Both I think
-
I’d take Hourihane off, that early booking has made him ineffective.
-
Good showing so far. Keep it up boys!
-
Fuck Off the post
Do you mean "Fuck, off the post" or "Fuck off, the post"? :-)
And did you mean a goal post or did the postman only bring bills?
-
Traore's a genuine threat
Not as much as the ref.
-
Well played Villa, but what a useless ref, the only thing he's done right is give Friend a yellow at the end.
-
Adama is doing us far too often.
He’s a very good player.
Yes ... and, we contained him.
In fact, we did okay against him.
I am struggling to say this: I think the manager has just about got it right so far.
-
Need to tell Hutton that when Adama has the ball near the ref, clatter through both of them.
-
Fuck Off the post
Do you mean "Fuck, off the post" or "Fuck off, the post"? :-)
And did you mean a goal post or did the postman only bring bills?
Well, he only knocks twice.
-

Fucking smartarses. I’m texting, while smoking, with a beer in one hand and driving, steering with my knees. I think I did pretty well all considering.
-

Don't disagree with that, particularly since the boy Anomah (not someone I'm a fan of) has done well recently.
I'd bring him on.
-
good first half, grealish playing really well.
just asking - has anyone ese just got a black screen on AVTV for half time?
-
Fuck Traore, he's a fucking showpony, Super Jack is going to show him what this game's all about.
-
Super first half. Another villa headed goal. 18 now. Stats don't lie!
Jedinak a worthy inclusion.
Really impressive with tempo in close down play of boro and also the way grealish is. So composed on movement for the snoddy shot. Great effort..
Showing our class in this match. Keep it up.
-
sorry if asked before but away goals rule doesnt apply in playoffs does it ?
-
sorry if asked before but away goals rule doesnt apply in playoffs does it ?
No they don't.
-
good first half, grealish playing really well.
just asking - has anyone ese just got a black screen on AVTV for half time?
I think it's only audio today, mate. It's being shown on sky, so can't be broadcasted on avtv. Do you need a stream?
-
No
-
So much for Bladen's sniffer dog!
-
sorry if asked before but away goals rule doesnt apply in playoffs does it ?
They don't but I think they did at some point in the past.
-
sorry if asked before but away goals rule doesnt apply in playoffs does it ?
No - if all level after 90 minutes at VP it's 30 minutes extra time then penalties if still level
-
Think we've controlled it and Jack and Snoddy look v dangerous. Second goal will do us nicely.
-
The ref is having a shocking game. I’m amazed that there’s been just one booking for us.
So far Bruce has called his tactics just right, we have nullified their threat.
Jack, Hutton and Chester have played well so far but I’d like to see Snoddy involved a bit more. More of the same in the second half please Villa. Then I can relax until Tuesday.
-
Fuck Traore, he's a fucking showpony, Super Jack is going to show him what this game's all about.
He’s evidently not a show pony.
-
So much for Bladen's sniffer dog!
Eh??

yes please mate, i've been using a stream but it was getting stuck every 2-3 minutes. pm me?
-
shut up shop early doors (innit) and have alan hutton do a west brom special on adama tryory. take him out - hit em on the counter. 2 nil Villa

Exactly
Slinks off fearing he has now tempted fate

Just been choked by a flare.

That's worrying about having nothing to worry about.

And my two 6 year old girls are in the front seat next to me jumping around opening beers as I need them. It’s all a bit chaotic with traffic coming the other way. Why are they all flashing their lights and honking their horns?
-
Boro: small-time.
-
How can boro not possibly have sold out a play off semi final?
If their fans can’t be arsed to fill their stadium they don’t bloody deserve to go up.
-
Would be very very happy with current scoring as a result please.
-

I was thinking that too. Loads of empty seats, whereas Villa Park is now a sell out and if we do get to the final we’ll sell whatever allocation we get.
-
Fuck Traore, he's a fucking showpony, Super Jack is going to show him what this game's all about.
He’s evidently not a show pony.
Wait and see this half.

Because they are going the wrong way. keep going Fella

Grabbans been a bit quiet
-
These lot really are dirty bastards.

These lot really are dirty bastards.
Tiny Penis team - comes as standard
-
These lot really are dirty bastards.
Ruffians.
-
These lot really are dirty bastards.
It's a Pulis side, of course they're dirty bastards, he doesn't know any other way.
-
albert ffs
-
Grabbans been a bit quiet
Yeah, he'll score in a minute or two.
-
Bugger - stream crashed

Ruffians.
Ruffian Hepburn-Murphy

worth a lol from asia.europort.com
51'
FOR BORO FANS - The team in fifth has not won the play-offs (current format) in consecutive campaigns since 2001-02 (Birmingham City) and 2002-03 (Wolves). Fifth-placed Huddersfield won promotion last season...
50'
FOR VILLA FANS - the team to finish in fourth place has won the Championship play-offs in two of the past four seasons (QPR in 2013-14 and Hull City in 2015-16).
-
Adomah has been poor.
-
Grabbans been a bit quiet
Yeah, he'll score in a minute or two.
Having said that, I wonder whether Davis would have been a better choice against this CB oppo.
-
Adomah has been poor.
For weeks
-
Assombalonga is a Traore wannabe.
A bit like a donkey impersonating a racehorse.
-
Adomah has been poor.
He really has. Hourihane's not been up to much either
-
I thought they’d come at us after a roasting from Tiny Penis at HT. They’re not showing anything so far.
-
Way too much Boro right now. We are being pinned back. Need to get control of this quickly or they are going to score
-
Would get Kodjia on.
Boro having too much of the game for my liking.
Give them some pace to think about with the counter attack.
-
Elmo and Hutton have switched.
-
Adomah has been poor.
For weeks
since wolves
-
The commentary is definitely boro biased.
-
Wonderful tracking back by Snoddy.
-
This is becoming uncomfortable viewing. Sitting too deep and allowing them too much time and space in our half.
-
Well done, Snodgrass. Good tracking back.
-
Get Kodja on.
-
Good Josh on for Hourihane we need drive in the midfield now.
-
I would change things
get kod on drop grabban back take off albert
-
Pulis just looks like an old chav
-
What is Ramsdens Currency ?
Can you pay for your fish and chips in euros ?
-
I'd take Adomah off for Kodj and stick Grabban out on the left.
-
I'd take Adomah off for Kodj and stick Grabban out on the left.
I agree.
-
Credit to the Villa boys - great support
-
come on Villa! get down your own end
-
forgot josh is on bench - could bring him on for conor
-
Adomah and Hourihane need to come off.
-
It occurs to me: Grealish really has become a mature and accomplished footballer in the last 12 months.
Bravo.
-
What is Ramsdens Currency ?
Can you pay for your fish and chips in euros ?
I’m sure I saw pitch side advertising for Ramsden’s Jewellery. Must be a bunch of Boro Shylocks like the Money Shop.
-
changes now
conor was rubbish then
-
FFS Villa.
-
We need to frseshen things up now!
-
Need to freshen things up, we can't get out of our half. Bring on JK.
-
I'd take Adomah off for Kodj and stick Grabban out on the left.
I agree.
Paul, are we seeing eye to eye for once? I'm honoured
Surprised the ref hasn't booked Snodgrass for that, the way he's officiated this
-
Need some possession and calm heads here.
-
if he dont change it they will get a goal
how many times that has happened this season
-
Why is Bruce trying to out Pullis Pullis?!
-
We need some fresh legs Brucie. Borough look shagged and they have new men on
-
Time to freshen things up Villa.
-
We need a change they’re too on top.
-
Jimmy coming on
-
Whelan on for Hourihan and Kodj on for Adomah
-
Kodj lacing his boots
-
Kodjia coming on.
-
Whelan on for Hourihan and Kodj on for Adomah
From slow to slower in the centre of the park...
-
Come on Jimmy
-
Jimmy on for Albert.
-
"Pulis is unimpressed on the touchline." cheers
-
"Pulis is unimpressed on the touchline." cheers
Was he expecting a more extravagant touchline?
-
"Pulis is unimpressed on the touchline." cheers
Keep me updated
-
We're struggling this half, fortunately we're defending well and they have been crap in the final third.
-
Where’s the midfield disappeared to?
-
fucking poor grabban
-
Ffs need to play it out and stop lumping it.
-
It’s all gone a bit crap
-
We need a change they’re too on top.
I think we look comfortable, actually, although I'd like us to score another.
-
Where’s the midfield disappeared to?
Ramsden's
-
Stop with the long ball. Get it to Kod's feet.
-
Bamford coming on.
-
Grabban with a nice back pass to their keeper after more good work by Jack.
-
Come on Villa. Let's sneak one more and get this sewn up.
-
Feeble attempt by Grabban. Had to do better there
-
Waste from Grabban.
-
I really don't like how we've stopped playing in the second half. We've just handed Boro the initiative on a plate
-
We’re asking for trouble. Hopefully though the longer it goes the more the gaps will appear in their half as they push forward.
-
boro keeper called randolph? has he got any experience?!!
-
boro keeper called randolph? has he got any experience?!!
He used to play for SHA.
-
boro keeper called randolph? has he got any experience?!!
Irish keeper.
-
Far too many long balls right now, they've got Ryan fucking Shotton at centre back, run at the fucker.
-
Why is it that every time we try to play defensively we always end up just inviting them on to us?
Its allowed to hit them on the counter once in while..don't have to give it right back.
-
That stat about goals conceded in last 15 is impressive. Compare that to last season.
-
boro keeper called randolph? has he got any experience?!!
He used to play for SHA.
did shitton too?
-

Brucieball
-
Attack, Attack, Attack.
-
Thor for Grabban. Good choice.
-
Birkir on for Grabban
-
Barney for Grabban.
-
Boro are really not very good ...
-
Ragnorak on
-
Get it on the deck.
-
Ragnorak on
nice gin that
-
boro keeper called randolph? has he got any experience?!!
Irish keeper.
not a learner then?
-
boro keeper called randolph? has he got any experience?!!
He used to play for SHA.
did shitton too?
Yep, used to dye his dreadlocks Blue for the games!
-
Boro are really not very good ...
Don't say that yet! It's squeaky bum time
-
fucking ell ref
-
This ref is a twat.
-
Boro are really not very good ...
They're shit, good job they are.
-
This ref is a twat.
Yup.
-
What?! He was all over Kodjia and they get the free kick
-
I really don't like how often Johnstone pushes things out to the edge of th ebox, has been 4-5 times today, better teams would punish him for it.
-
Where’s the midfield disappeared to?
We certainly enjoy the pressure as we're doing nothing to stop it.
-
Suddenly Mike Dean in the home leg doesn't seem quite so bad...
-
elmo is stringed
-
Come on villa
-
We should be attacking ...
-
Kodja not exactly busting a gut for the team
-
elmo is stringed
Hamstring gone by the looks of it. That is a blow, he's had a good season imo.
-
Fuck, Elmo.
-
Looks like Elmo popped his hamstring
-
That looks like Elmo out for the rest of the play-offs.
-
No Bree on bench. Does that mean Samba comes in??
-
youre my friend
-
Bjork to LB?
-
More like a pulled muscle
-
;D
-
Whelan on, Barney to FB
-
No Bree on bench. Does that mean Samba comes in??
Thankfully not.
-
Nope. Whelan. Oh dear...
-
I hope we’re not just going to sit back and hang on Tuesday night Steve.
-
Bree will be fine for the rest of the season. Birkir may have to fill in today.
-
Whelan vs Traore
-
in one way, the resut here doesnt matter , its just like getting to halftime.
In another its important psychologically.
-
5?
-
5 minutes?!
-
stfu hincliffe its a difficult one for Bruce
why? we are 1 up you twat
-
Should've changed to Onomah to give us the legs in midfield and push bjarny back to left back. Not long enough to really matter now but we need to be much more involved in the midfield for the 2nd leg
-
Is every Middlesbrough fan fat and ugly?
-
FIVE minutes added time. Fucking lies.
-
Villa fans making all the noise ..
-
Elmo was down for a couple of mins, 30 secs for each sub, it's about right.
-
Proud History Bree Future
-
Fucking let off
-
John Terry being the model pro as usual....
*Chuckle*
-
Elmo was down for a couple of mins, 30 secs for each sub, it's about right.
Ayala for a couple of minutes as well. Think 5 is the minimum.
-
We are skating on thin ice.
Big JT is down now
-
Tell me we don’t have the same ref for the second game
-
Tell me we don’t have the same ref for the second game
We don't. Mike "I Love Spurzzzz" Dean.
-
Tell me we don’t have the same ref for the second game
It's Mike Dean.
-
John Terry being the model pro as usual....
*Chuckle*
:-)
-
Tell me we don’t have the same ref for the second game
No - we've got Mike Dean. I shit you not
-
Elmo was down for a couple of mins, 30 secs for each sub, it's about right.
Ayala for a couple of minutes as well. Think 5 is the minimum.
Also get the feeling he's been added on for Boro's long throws.
O.k with it think we've been reasonably comfortable all game. Worries will start again from first whistle on Tuesday night.
-
Kodija has been dreadful
-
Well it's the way Bruce does things,but personally we could have hammered these with an adventurous manager
-
Tell me we don’t have the same ref for the second game
We don't. Mike "I Love Spurzzzz" Dean.
No, I thin it's worse than that. We have Middlesboro Mike.
-
Well it's the way Bruce does things,but personally we could have hammered these with an adventurous manager
Agreed yeah. Very frustrating.
-
Full time.
Job very well done.
-
Well it's the way Bruce does things,but personally we could have hammered these with an adventurous manager
Agreed.
-
Tell me we don’t have the same ref for the second game
I'll tell you that if you like. But... Oh others have told you.
-
62% possession for Boro haha says it all. Not the best performance ever but delighted with the win... On to VP.
-
And...breathe
-
phew
-
That’ll do...not nicely but it’ll do.
-
Really think we should of had two. Onwards and upwards.
-
love it. Yes
-
Franksy already slagging off Kodjia on the phone in.
-
All true but you can’t blame him for protecting a 0-1 in a first leg. If we’d conceded it would have been different.
-
Franksy already slagging off Kodjia on the phone in.
Don’t think he should be near the team for rest of the playoffs. Sadly the injury has done him, for this season anyway.
-

he repeatedly put is under pressure with silly mistakes.
