Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[Chris Smith]

Is anybody else surprised that West Midlands finest have allowed this game to go ahead at 3pm on a Saturday bearing in mind the fact that it's a derby and current circumstance ?

It was a Saturday game last year if I remember rightly, but moved for TV. No recent history between us and Wolves so no obvious reason to move it.

My only problem with Cuellar is his God awful ability when the ball is at his feet. Still, we need his defensive qualities right now.

If he's on the right side of centre then at least he can just give it to Walker, who can bomb up the wing.

True, but its his attempts at being able to 'give it' that worry me.

3 - 0 Villa, Bent x2 and Downing.

The skies will clear, Spring will be celebrated and all will be well.

Thought there was trouble at molineux earlier this season ? I'm delighted it's 3pm just surprises me as it's a derby 6 pointer and its been a big drinking week in the Mids already

There was a car in front of me with a Wolves sticker in the window on the journey to work this morning.  So as I overtook him, I flicked him the Vs. 

[peter w]

If it was two V's he would have thought you were just showing a 'W'. If you flicked your fingers 4 times he would have seen 'WW@ and thought you were a feloow Wolves fan. he's on 'Bully For Wolves' or some such fansite enthusing about being passed in his car by a fellow delirious Wolves on on the way to work this morning.

1-1

Wolves have a little more fight about them.

Cuellar's fit, confirmed on the OS. Shame we have to play Collins, but there we go.

Don't count your chickens, there's a day's training tomorrow to survive yet. I'd give them the day off.

Players left with some freetime to fill? Christ, i think we've seen enopugh of that recently.

In fairness, I'd say Cuellar is more likely to, say, spend a nice quiet day with the family rather than go out on a massive bender, behave like a total bastard and. . . (rant continues until the Transfer Thread of Summer 2150)

Downing 1st goal in a 3-1 win is 80/1. Very Tempting

I just tried to buy a ticket for this match at the shop in town, and was told to come back later as the only person in the shop who can negotiate the herculean task of administering match tickets is having his lunch.
