Aston Villa vs Newcastle United pre match thread

Hope he goes for Traore today it will show confidence in our attacking intent to win especially as we’re at home, and he’s also scored 2 in 2 games
Dendonker or Chambers sends out a message of containment, and imo neither actually improve the team

just putting it out there - Trippier is a total prick.

Can't remember the last time the pre match thread has run to 20 plus pages and there are still a few hours to go.  Most of the content seems to be debating why they are so obsessed with us where we don't care. Looks like they may have a point!  Nervous about the game but would love it just love it we stuff them UTV

The national media are just starting to sit up and notice us now.  Win today and I think we will be getting a lot more attention over the coming week.

Conversely, lose, and it'll be proof that we're not smashing our xG or whatever that nonsense means.

Xg will be 10 and we'll get 1.

Haha. What has he done?

Omg! They've just been discussing our rivalry on Talk Sport. Dear God, those Geordies really know how to hold a grudge! They are so bitter, it's actually quite funny.  They had the Villa fan on who organised the banners, and even he says it's about time they got over it, it was only supposed to be a bit of a joke. The Geordie fan finished off with something like we're a small club, forever in their shadow. They really do have delusions of grandeur!

constant shithousery, you'll see if they get the lead. No worse than Young or Martinez, but they're ours, so that's ok
