Small Heath Alliance v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[ez]

Are we the underdogs for this one? I know a blue who always says "you were expected to win" whatever the result. Can't say that this time.

[sheldon nose]

yeh i should imagine your favorites again...

[WikiVilla]

Yes they're 11/8 we are 2/1

[robbo1874]

Had a dream last night that we won 3-1.

Reading their forums aswell their ticket sales for sunday are 'dismal', with some predicting as low as 21k or 22k. Shit ground no fans.

saving for wembley aint we
[ha, enjoy it mate..... and keep saving.....

fark...

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'd go with Dave's side.

Still shivering at the thought of Pires starting though.

sheldon, if you had to choose a game to lose, either us this week or West Ham in the semi, which would it be?

Try and be truthful and yes I'm aware you could win both.

i want to win the west ham game as we will be in europe if we do so...

Last time I checked, you actually have to win the trophy to get into Europe. Hence we only qualified for Europe after league placings, not through being runner up.

edit: I now see that this has been pointed out.

I've heard a whisper that the fans above us have been sent a letter telling them they are being moved and that they are leaving two blocks next to us empty.

Hope this is true.  It'll be nice not to be showered with coins and any manner of liquid.

Thank God for that. Last time they played in Europe there was no end of trouble on the ferries. They pulled down the masts, smashed the oars, insisted the captain took them nowhere near Ye Edge of Ye Worlde....

And I doubt it won't make any difference to the overrall attendance because their support is so dire. I thought only 'proper Brummies' supported Birmingham City? Where are all these 'real Brummies' hiding? There's over 1 million people in Birmingham and they'll have a gate of 24k at the sty... when you think that club can't get anymore laughable, they do.

Carew in the squad, depending on if he can be arsed could be a timely return

That's shocking, especially as you only had to buy a pair of BCFC Y-fronts in the club shop to get a free ticket.
