Small Heath Alliance v Aston Villa League Cup Quarter Final Pre-Match Thread

[gervilla]

Well we wont be keeping a clean sheet for a start. Our defence seems clueless these days.
1-1 and hopefully we can sneak it on pens.

[Des Little]

If it goes to pens and we win, I think the entire West Midlands Constabulary will be shitting their pants simoultaneously

[glasses]

Has to be 442.
Friedel
L Young Dunne Collins Warnock
A Young Ireland Clark Downing
Carew Agbonlahor

2-0 Villa
Carew and Ireland

[Chipsticks]

The city is ours.

On the other hand, 3-0 Scum.   Ridgwell scoring a tap in, Gardner with a wonder goal, and a Dunne own goal.

[Sister of Top Cat]

I dreamed last night that Cameron Jerome scored the winner in the last minute.  So 1-0 to them. 

[eastie]

Any idea how long cuellar will be out? He is missed in centre defence- I have a horrible feeling gardner and Phillips will both score and we will be beaten- please play fonz if gabby is out, Carew is a complete waste !

[CJ]

forecast for snow and maybe blizzards in the midlands on tues and weds -could do us a favour if this game is off!

The words "straw" and "clutching" spring to mind, but I said exactly the same thing yesterday. Otherwise getting some bodies back would be a bonus. But I fear neither the weather or the physios will come to our aid. A bad tempered win to them

[manic-road]

1-0 to the Shit.
Gardner

[richard moore]

If Carew and Pires both play, we could get slaughtered - Carew wouldn't appear ever again in a Villa shirt if I had my way. His attitude disgusts me

Otherwise, we might just sneak an 0-0 and then on to pens...

[sheldon nose]

1-0 to the Shit.
Gardner

Think hes out mate...wish he was back...

[avfc_1874]

Think the noses will sneak it 1-0 after extra time.

[nicardinho]

The referee for the game is Chris Foy (Merseyside)

He hasn't refereed this particular game before, and will be his second Carling Cup game involving us this season (the other being Blackburn)

He will be assisted by Darren Cann (chequered flag) and Bob Pollock (yellow flag), while Howard Webb will be controlling the benches.

[The Situation]

1-0 to the Shit.
Gardner

Think hes out mate...wish he was back...

So another horrible scrote, Bowyer will be playing instead?

We badly need Cuellar and Reo-Coker back for this.

[Simba]

Pathetic. Look at the teams man for man. Even with our Youth team. Forget the rivalry - the players do - and now see how we have been playing when we have the outlet of a fast front two(one). We will win this one.

We are simply better than them.

Forget it is the  knuckledraggers, see it from the coaches viewpoint.  Poor opposition. Poor results.

They are scared shitless of a Villa playing as we did against Man Ure for example. They cannot compete with our pace. Last game they played on the defensive, filled the midfield.  They know this. Downing will have a lot of fun. Gabby back? More fun. I really think that whatever our current worries will will bury them.

3:0 Villa. Sorry Sheldon.

[SoccerHQ]

I really don't think we'll be mentally strong enough in this one, no idea what central midfield we'll see for this don't think it will be strong enough whatever is out there.

2-1 SHA after extra time and we'll have someone daftly sent off. Cue meltdown on here and everywhere.
