Aston Villa v Small Heath Alliance Pre-Match Thread

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I was gonna save my one wish for the lottery. But i have just used it on a double win over the scum. Come on Villa .......

[b23]

I cant see anything but another all too easy Villa victory. My son and i will be in the Doug Ellis lower and i hope to hear the sound of Salsa Party Animals footsteps tripping the light fantastic in the Doug Ellis upper with an impromtu display of dance inbetween Villa goals.

i think the league cup draw has taken something away from this fixture, both teams will settle for a draw then mayhem at the sty

[Pete3206]

Cup match has nothing to do with this. We'll beat them today.

[eamonn]

Would be pleasantly surprised if we won. They are a more settled side at the moment and I'm really worried about our midfield being completely out-muscled.

1-1.

[Shrek]

I'm awake, I can't sleep, so come on Villa!!!

[PeterWithesShin]

Now it's so close i'm getting a bit nervous. Bus times into town checked about 7 times so far. And joy of joys, i've woken up with toothache and look like a hamster as my cheek is swollen and i've got backache as well, getting old sucks!

[Lenny_AVFC]

We've played some decent football in the last 3 league games but only got one point and one goal. Today is the day it either finally clicks under Houllier and we'll walk it 3 nil or the injuries in midfield and Dunne's form will cost us

Great working in a bunker with Skysports only!
On the flip-side....

Join the club.
I'm confident, but still nervy.
I've just had 3 sausages, 3 rashers of bacon, 3 eggs, fried bread, tomatoes and beans, so i'm hoping that will settle my stomach.

Don't see us being outmuscled by the plebs but do see us sinking our own boat with countless missed opportunities so the draw wouldn't surprise me.

Whisper it quietly, but with the players we have missing I might even accept it, just to get the game out of the way.

If I was in the B-lose camp I'd be looking at this as as good an opportunity as they've had in recent years to beat us.

That said, I reckon we'll win.

1-0 Villa

No mushrooms and black pudding? Toast?

I can never eat before a game like this, but by the time I get to the ground i'm starving. Any chance you can bring some sausages?

No, didn't get any black pudding and forgot about the mushrooms.
Seems to have worked though, I feel a lot better.
