Aston Villa vs Newcastle pre-match thread

[Goldenballs]

8.15 kick off on a school night is very late, with extra time now it's probably not going to finish til at least 10.30, so a lot of people won't be getting home until after 11.30. Be closer to 1am for me.

Yep, three of the ST holders i know in our village, they’re all in the more mature category, and they’re all giving this game a miss.

Why is it 8:15? Won't be home till way past my bedtime. Fair play to the Newcastle fans who come down, I wouldn't be doing that.

We need to win 5-0 so we go through on aggregate.

Second season in a row I'm missing this as I'm working in the northeast, again. Or still. Fifth or sixth job up here on the bounce. I might be starting to pick up an accent. But I digress...
I hope in about 4 hours time I'm as equally pissed off and elated as I was last April.

I've picked up a chest infection so missing my first home game this season. Only decided this morning not to go but couldn't arsed flogging my ST 'cos it sounds like a right faff. Particularly when you feel like shit.

Is this a massive game?

A while ago I'd have been hoping for a reverse of the opening day result, but I'd take a comfortable 1-0 win now. Just get some good performamces and 3 points rolling in again.

Big one anyway, thought we finished strong last two games but the winning goal didn't come. Need to get over the line tonight.
