Aston Villa v Small Heath Alliance Pre-Match Thread

[alanclare]

Please, could we drop that awful, demeaning, insulting "Paul McGrath, my Lord" chant?

[The Situation]

Has any quote summed that club up better than "But Carr has since had countless Birmingham fans congratulate him on his crude actions."

It's the proudest moment in their club's history - bless.

re: sidwell... would people prefer it if Ireland and Coker played in the middle together?

I don't think I can see us winning all 3 games v The Shit this season.

I don't think I can see us winning all 3 games v The Shit this season.

I'll take tomorrow's and the cup game then.

[Larry Duff]

Hope its a good omen for tomorrow. Our academy team beat blues this morning at Bodymore with goals from Daniel Johnson and a late Samir Curruthers penalty.

Pretty physical game against a bigger and almost certainly older Birmingham team.

It's probably their best chance of beating us for years with our injuries and current reshaping,new coach period. After saying that we should have enough quality to see them off.  2-1 villa win for me heskey 2. Come on you lions!

Maybe not. Let's win the two league games and draw the cup game.. going through on penalties...

[SoccerHQ]

Small Heath won't lose tommorrow.

1-1 all.

I'd settle for that if it guarenteed winning there in the cup.

[Rigadon]

Small Heath won't lose tommorrow.

1-1 all.

I'd settle for that if it guarenteed winning there in the cup.

They might not have a choice

But I agree that a draw is the most likely result - neither team can afford to lose really.

[Jimbo]

Not looking forward to this at all. Can see something ugly/embarrassing occurring. Got that queasy feeling. I am just going outside and may be some time...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Aston Villa 1 Rags 0.

Young: 6 mins

It won't be pretty.

[JJ-AV]

Ashley will win it.

[TaxDodger]

Please win.

[Legion]

Ashley will win it.

Like this?

[JJ-AV]

Haha, I should have known that wouldn't be far away. The kids special and he turns up in these games. I'm not making any predictions on the score or the scorers, but he's gonna win it for us.
