Whatever happens today we will always be Aston Villa, the greatest club with the greatest fans on the planet
UTV everyone. Today's line up

-
I can’t take this! Please win!
-
Going for it.

-
Bricking shits. Would have preferred Whelan to start but hopefully Conor proves me wrong with a belter.
-
Big call starting Conor as he’s been effective off the bench recently.
-
Sooo nervous!
-
Please win. My nerves are all over the place.
-
Smith's definitely going for it. Good lad!
-
Their midfield is really very, very good. On paper and off. I'd worry we've no one to break it up with Wheelo in.
-
Ballsy. Fucking hell. It's real.
-
Derby fans are gutted Marriott isn't starting. This is the right line up for us. There are really good options off the bench also. We will take the game to them not like the last time we played a team in white and black at Wembley.
-
Their midfield is really very, very good. On paper and off. I'd worry we've no one to break it up with Wheelo in.
Strange, as I see Huddlestone and Johnson as two older, immobile players that we can run past and isolate.
-
At least unlike last year it looks like we are trying to win it instead of nick it.
-
It's all set up for a 90th minute Lansbury winner ...........
-
Is it my fuzzy memory, or does Foghorn Waghorn always play well against us?
-
Their midfield is really very, very good. On paper and off. I'd worry we've no one to break it up with Wheelo in.
Starnge, as I see Huddlestone and Johnson as two older, immobile players that we can run past and isolate.
Huddlestone is better than all that for sure. And what of Mount and Wilson?
-

Starnge, as I see Huddlestone and Johnson as two older, immobile players that we can run past and isolate.
Huddlestones legs won't last 90 minutes, Ashley Cole at 38 won't be rapid either.
-
Please win Villa.

Jesus he's only 32 lads. Whelan is 35 and has lasted 90 mins for us multiple times this year.
-
In the shirt, on the sofa.
-
Love you, Dean xxx
-
Come on Villa, put them to the sword.
-
I'm far more nervous this year to last year, no idea why. We are a better team, with a more forward thinking Manager and we are not playing the best team (outside Wolves). Derby need to pack the midfield, we need to use the width. Adomah needs to turn up.

He was immobile when he was 25
-
Nerves.
So nervous.
Can’t even have a liquid calmer today as I’m working in 5 hours time.
Please please please just win today Villa.
-

In the shirt, with the flag, on the sofa, on the cans. UTFV
-
Is Davis injured ? Not happy 're Taylor or AA but were always likely to start. Very surprised Huddlestone is starting. Grealish to expose his lack of mobility hopefully....
-
They area speedy lot and that has me worried.
-
Been nervous as hell all day, but more confident with huddlestone playing.... but that doesn’t mean they wont switch it up later into the game. Need to hit em from the off and hopefully put it out of their reach before they wonder what hit em🤞🏼
-
Does anybody have any lucky biscuits perhaps? Clinging at superstitions now
-
Where's the orange dot
-
Can someone wake me up at 6pm? Nervously looking at bbc website whilst at work as can’t have a radio on....

Jack!!!!

Bury them before they know what hit them. Straight from the off. Dean's going for it. C'mon The Villa!!
-
Let's fucking AV it!
-

Claret and Blue Iced Gems work for me.

Love that the sky presenter box is in the Villa end. Making a racket already! Sing your hearts out lads!

This is good

It's all set up for a 90th minute Lansbury winner ...........
As long as we win.
I'm the only Villa fan in the pub. Derby must have heard as they haven't turned up.
-
Not going to have nails left by the end.
Huddlestone and Cole have to be targeted.
I would have started Hause, but then that limits the bench more as you may need an extra centre half there.
Adomah owes us a goal.
-
Any little rivers? If so, please PM me!

David Bradley has just finished me off.
-
In the shirt, on the sofa.
Just the shirt? ewwww
-
David Bradley has just finished me off.
Really? theres some strange goings on
-
Allegedly Derby bus has arrived damaged from bottles thrown at it by Villa fans. I hope that isn’t true as it would be well out of order. I never want our club to have that reputation.

It was a fan coach and the bottles etc were thrown from the green, twats.

Every club has them. We just don’t need those types of followers. It isn’t us. Wankers
-
Clueless morons.
-
Identify and life bans. ******.
-
fuck me Im nervous
maybe need a beer . . .
AA must be the luckiest bloke ever , Id have started with Kod but a Liverpool fan told me well he did destroy ashley cole when You played them , so this is probably why . .
Sweaty palms .... ffs .. COME ON VILLA
-
Afternoon all. Pooing my pants a bit here.
-
I feel sick.
-
Wow. What a sight.
-
Have Sky mentioned the £170m to the winners yet? FFS
-
Come on Villa, let's do this!
-
Huddlestone looks like he's eaten a couple of the Derby players.
-
Come on Villa!
-
Amazed he has started him. Got to think if we run at him he will be in trouble.
-
Amazed he has started him. Got to think if we run at him he will be in trouble.
As long as none of our players are carrying a cream bun he's no chance of catching them.
-
Right. Here we go. Get into em you Villa boys.
-
And we're off. UTV
-
First chance
-
First chance
Decent one too
-
Derby were all over the place at the back then.
-
Jack over the bar
-
Jack you’ve got to do better there.
-
should have hit the target
shhould be 1 0 here
-
Very positive start.
-
Good opening 10 mins from us
-
Nice from El Ghazi
-
Divetastic from Derby
-
Derby seem to defend corners like we did under Lambert.
-
We’ve got to take advantage of these chances.
-
Derby are like a really shit porn star, don't like balls near their box.
/imhearallgame
-
COME ON VILLA
we have the making of these
hit em while they are nervous
-
Derby seem to defend corners like we did under Lambert.
Yes, I was just thinking of the cornalty myself.
-
That guy up front for Derby has 7 goals in his career from over 100 matches.
-
Fucking hell Albert hasn’t half dropped off in the last year.
-
Derby have learnt from Albion to sit a bit deeper
Not getting anything in behind them
We need to get more players in the box
-
Tammy still doesn't look 100% either
-
AEG has gone from patchy and a bit lazy to consistent and hard working.
-
Just get it in the box.
-
El Ghazi booked
-
Fucking hell Albert hasn’t half dropped off in the last year.
He's not at the races, Jimmy Danger sooner rather than later for me.
-
Derby getting back into this now. Come on Villa
-
come on villa
need more from AA and get it in the box where derby look pants
-
For all that we've done quite well so far, only 3 shots and none on target.
-
We’ve dropped off here.
-
Games got scrappy.
-
Sloppy
-
Its there for the taking. We're a far better team. Nothing to fear here.
-
We have had no penetration at all.
Jack hardly in the game.
-
All a bit scrappy
-
We have had no penetration at all.
Jack hardly in the game.
Tammy too
-
Taking it too easy. Getting sloppy. Making mistakes. Will drop a bo###ck in a minute.
-
We'd have a better chance if Tammy was playing.
-
Tammy has got to step it up . He has hardly shown for anything
-
taylors distribution is shit loads
-
All a bit aimless at the moment
-
We need a goal from somewhere to dent their confidence
-
Tammy has a chance
-
Poor in last 5-10 mins
-
We done any finishing practice this week?
-
Very poor so far. Too many players hiding, doing nothing.
-
Nice effort
-
Another El Ghazi run
-
SHOOT EL GHAZI!
-
greta run elghazi
-
shame taylor
good defence shit forward
-
That Bennett is a bit of a nuisance
-
Very poor so far. Too many players hiding, doing nothing.
But we are outplaying them
-
Derby have a shot
-
villa need to shoot in the box like mount did
-
Another opening wasted
-
thast poor ffs
had a chance there
-
not offside thou
-
Switched off there.
-
im having dopplebock dunkel to steady my nerves
-
Hmmm I’m getting a bit concerned.
-
Is Jack wanting to be the hero? Doing too much on his own when he could be playing others in earlier.
-
Nerves are still there. Give the ball to Jack.
-
We have been awful.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
EL GHAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
-
Elmo's crossing is shocking!
-
Real lack of quality at the moment. Jack is ponderous.
-
fucking el ghazi
-
GET THE FUCK INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
-
ANnnnnnWar!!
-
We have been awful.
I wouldn't say awful, we've had the better of the game, just unremarkable....
Well well!!! GET IN!
-
Elmo's crossing is shocking!
Obviously my stream is a little behind!
-
El Ghazi has been our best player this half, chuffed we are one up but Jack and McGinn need to get more involved.
-
Tell you what it’s a definite pen on Tammy before that.
-
Shin, shoulder, don't give a fuck.
-
Fookin brilliant. AEG has worked his socks off today. Totally deserved.
-
Get in. Always had El Ghazi diving header down as the likeliest route to a goal.
-
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
El Ghazi has been our best player this half, chuffed we are one up but Jack and McGinn need to get more involved.
Don’t worry Dean will sort it, although Franks got history to change things too
-
I think i just frightened the neighbours.
-
HT
-
Get the fuck in!!!
-
That cross was ridiculously brilliant.
-
Poor El Ghazi can't even go in and get a drink at half time!
-
Great time to score
-
El Ghazi has been our best player this half, chuffed we are one up but Jack and McGinn need to get more involved.
This. The one attacker who has been taking it to them.
-
Right now be better in the second half please Villa.
-
went for a piss missed it ffs
-
Got to be said, McGinn and Jack have been totally anonymous. For the impact they can have on a game, if I was Smith I would be getting right into them. We are 1-0 up playing pretty poorly.
-
think Ive broke my little toe on the coffee table but fecking el ghazi
what a time to score
fucking El this is on . . .. .
-
went for a piss missed it ffs
Keep very well hydrated in the interval please!
-
went for a piss missed it ffs
Just to be on the safe side, fancy locking yourself in there for the next hour or so?
-
Still nervous.
-
went for a piss missed it ffs
Have another piss in 20 minutes or so, if you would
-
Gotta love the different time lags we have as well judging by the posts.
-

Fair play to Lampard for working out how to play them but I’m expecting Dean to sort it out
-
went for a piss missed it ffs
Go for another.
-
Still nervous.
Told you there'd be scorchios!
-
A neighbour just knocked on my door to ask if evrything was ok haha
-
Gotta love the different time lags we have as well judging by the posts.
I've drank too much ale and need another lag.
-
I’m trying to do my fucking job then 4 texts come in we’d scored. I might be out of a job in a bit LOL.
-
Gotta love the different time lags we have as well judging by the posts.
I am about a minute behind some of you lot.
Funnier was play offs - if I hadn't been awake for 2 days I could have screwed PAddyPower as seemed to be a penalty behind this site.
-
Big test of Smith this. Can he tactically adjust it to get them into the game more
-
went for a piss missed it ffs
i went for a shit an missed it
-
Got to be said, McGinn and Jack have been totally anonymous. For the impact they can have on a game, if I was Smith I would be getting right into them. We are 1-0 up playing pretty poorly.
Think McGinn has been ok, but Jack pretty anonymous. We need them to get a grip in the second half.
-

We have been the better team though. Space should open up 2nd half
-
I had a feeling they might be susceptible to opening up, a couple of those balls through the middle ten minutes previous. They also looked completely shellshocked following the goal which is huge.
-
Goal just at the right time, we need to be really careful now, Derby have control of the midfield area, we need some brilliance from Jack, really tricky time this, we have the lead, come on you Villa boys.
-
We've been the better side, i'm not having we were poor. We can be better though which should have Derby worried.
-
If we can win the European Cup from a scuff off the shin, I'll take a play-off promotion from a scuff off the shoulder.
-
Jack needs to take the simpler option sometimes. Need to be more in game SH
-
We've been the better side, i'm not having we were poor. We can be better though which should have Derby worried.
Not poor. Just a bit average but the better of the two teams
-

I'll take it.
-
We've been the better side, i'm not having we were poor. We can be better though which should have Derby worried.
No I agree, think we were ok but a bit ponderous, Jack in particular. We need to sharpen up.
-
Just the better side and an added bit of quality from the cross gives us the edge. If we are poor then Derby are more so. If the second half is just as contained we will win, if they open up then our playmakers get more space.
We are 45 minutes from promotion. This next 45 is the difference between spending all summer worrying about FFP and who will replace most of our best players and testing the depths of our owners pockets. This is defining, please don't fuck it up Villa, everything we've come through the last 3 months in particular. I believe in them and their strength of character and ability.
-
Jacks better closer to goal I think he has to play deeper to give Hourihane cover. McGinn has dropped off the last couple. Derby are targeting Taylor.
-
An early Abraham goal at the start of the second half and we can Man City - Watford the rest of the second half.
I really don't fancy a last ten minutes at 1-0
-

Yeah good word. Derby have looked quite nervous.

Agreed
-
Massive relief, that goal. Fuck me. Come on Villa!
-
Come on Jack, for you and us.
-
Abrahams form is a worry if he was at his best he would destroy them.
-
Wouldn't say Derby have been the better side, pretty even, first 15 of the next half all important, feels like Derby are growing into this, we have to press this home, next 45 is our 45...
-
An early Abraham goal at the start of the second half and we can Man City - Watford the rest of the second half.
I really don't fancy a last ten minutes at 1-0
Just said the same. Last ten at 1-0 could be fucking excruciating.
-

Not poor. Just a bit average but the better of the two teams
Agreed
-
we have been below par
but Jack I think should have scored , the airshot from axel and Tammy was close we could easy be 2 up so today is the best chance now to get out of this division.
we can go for this , play some footy and kill em 3 0 .
-
Before the goal I thought Derby would be pleased with the first 45 and Villa disappointed and looking to do better.
Goals change games though. Composure and we can see this out by 2 or 3 goals.
-
And we're off.
-
Oh for a clean sheet now.
-
Derby player booked, Mason Bennett.
Conor booked as well.
-
WE were right in there
-
ffs ref
-
SCUFFLE!!!!
-
the ref has lost it
-
Derby deciding to kick us out the game as they can't outplay us.
-
Mings straight in there.
Well done Son
-
How is Huddlestone not booked for that.
-
And again dirty ******
-
Huddlestone is a lucky lucky boy.
-
Cool heads boys.
-
How is Huddlestone not booked for that.
Either he and Hourihane are booked. Or neither are booked.
-
Gotta love Mings
-
Derby seem to have lost it
-
They're on the verge of losing their heads here.
*crosses fingers*
-
derby going to pieces
-
come on reff specsavers ffs
-
We're really showing we have the superior players, Derby are showing their limitations.
-
how is that a villa foul
-
REfs a twat
-
The officials are having stinkers at the moment
-
This ref is yet another ******
-
Abraham should have done better there.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Not great from the officials here.
-
SJM 2-0
-
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck wicfked
-
YEeeees! That’s a horror from the goalie.
-
dreamlaand
-
Catch up you slow buggers!
-
pissed me pants this time
-
Oh yes!
-
Keep control of it here Villa.
-
Shit keeping to be fair
-
Get the fuck in!!!!
-
That is piss poor from the keeper, has to punch it. Splendid.
-
Shit keeping to be fair
It is, if you’re catching it you’ve got to do it above your head.
-
Looks like Dean has moved Jack further up the pitch
-
Did SJM actually get a touch on that? Looked on the replay as if the keeper fumbled it backwards.
-
ive pissed my pants now too
-
Marriott is on.
-
Get a third Villa please.
-
Reckon we were due a massive rick in an important game. Seems like they always go the other way.
-
Marriott is dangerous.
-
Tyrone injured
-
If we score another six without reply, I may be slightly less nervous.
-
I had a big shit at half time.
Need to take full control of midfield with Huddlestone off
-
Got to keep our heads
-
Don’t be injured Tyrone.
-
I see empty seats. I could of had one of them.
-
9-0 across the three matches so far.
-
Jack shoots wide
-
is waghorn the new Aguero the way the commentators talk about him
-
Did SJM actually get a touch on that? Looked on the replay as if the keeper fumbled it backwards.
Reckon McGinn gets it either way. Just for being brilliant.
-
Jack is not on it today.
-
That was a push.
-
How is that not a pen!
-
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ
-
lets get the next one and RELAX
-
Waghorn on for Bennett
-
Tick clock, tick.
-
Get a third Villa please.
-
How is that not a pen!
Nah. Keogh just stood him up.
-
20 mins plus added time, come on Villa!!
-
Jack is not on it today.
He’s not and worse he seems to have lost his head
-
Side netting for Derby
-
Looks like Green is coming on
-
That’s way too easy, don’t sit off Mount in midfield.
-
With Albert going off
-
Just as well Bogle is pretty ropey at both ends.
Not sure what Taylor was doing.
-
Green and Whelan now?
-
green on for AA
-
Don’t fucking sit off.
-
Well this is good. If we lose it from here I am not coming back to Brum.
-
We need to stop Mount getting the ball. That’s two warnings.
-
I have never wanted 20 mins to go by so quick in my life U T V
-
No subs left for Derby, they will throw everything at Villa for the last 15 minutes.
-
We need to sort this out, Derby having too many chances
-
Get a fucking foot on the ball Villa.
-
No subs left for Derby, they will throw everything at Villa for the last 15 minutes.
Thought you could have 4 in this game?
-
Fair's fair, that's a smashing effort by Marriott.
-
I'd relaxed a bit. Now i'm bricking it again.
-
That’s another warning. Get a grip Villa.
-
No subs left for Derby, they will throw everything at Villa for the last 15 minutes.

If they get two goals back, they get a fourth in extra time.
-
That linesman is a cock
-
Opportunity missed
-
Need some possession
-
Should have finished it there
-
12 to go
-
Ffs Jack shoot!!
-
Fuck me, sort this out Villa.
-
And they shoot wide
-
Far far too easy to cut through us.
-
It wouldn't be Villa unless they gave us a load of skidmark inducing moments in the last 10 minutes.
-
This is hard to watch! Come on Villa!
-
Get a foot on the fucking ball Villa.
-
shit 2-1 and Mings injured
-
It's been coming, we've been awful last 10 mins or so
-
Fuck!
-
Ah shit
-
*sigh*
-
That's been coming
-
It’s been fuckmg coming. Terrible.
-
That’s not good at all
-
We’ve been asking for that by sitting off.
-
Fucking Villa. Never just see it out.
-
It's been coming, we've been awful last 10 mins or so
Yep, piss poor. Jack you’re captain fucking do something.
-
ffs going back to that grealish chance - he should have shot instead of passing and killed the game off . . . ffs.. typical Villa this
-
We’ve allowed this, and enabled them to build up a head of steam. Fucking sort it out Villa.
-
Come on Villa!
-
McGinn currently CH
-
8 mins injury time I reckon
-
Hause on
-
Come on Hause. Do us proud.
-
why do we make it so feckin hard
-
Just fucking win Villa.
-
Keep the ball Villa
-
why do we make it so feckin hard
Because it is the only way we know and if we see it through it’s how it should have been. We don’t do easy. The Villa Way.
-

We don't like to make this easy.
-
