Aston Villa v Liverpool Pre-Match Thread

[TaxDodger]

In one of the pre-match analyses here in Sweden it says that Villa probably won't play Bent. If he gets one more goal, the club has to pay Sunderland extra money. Do you know if that is true?

We can finish anywere between 14th and 9th, and with about £500, 000 at stake for every position higher up the league we finish any Bent goal would probably make us decent money. Unless there's a clause which states we have to pay a couple of million extra if he scores a certain amount of goals this season, which I think is unlikely. It's far more likely to be a fee once he's reached a certain amount of goals period, which as has already been pointed out, he will do eventually.

A must win game to ensure we finish as high as possible.
As we rarely beat them any result along with a decent performance will do.
A great chance for those players looking to leave to impress and say bye on a high.

Pretty please, can we not have any pathetic "COME ON SPURS"-type banners at the ground? It makes us luck sad and small-time and it didn't work when some twats paraded an Arsenal banner before the League Cup Final.

But hopefully we will be allowed to sing.

Won a cup
And you f***ed it up!

At about ten to 6 tomorrow afternoon.

It might be one of the clauses which will eventually take the fee up to £24million but unless we are dropping him forever we'll have to pay out eventually, might as well be tomorrow.
File under 'journalist has made this up'!

Could have had a clause for number of goals scored this season.

A simple 'forever in our shadow' banner would do it tbh.

Tomorrow is a complete sell out - must be first of the season. Stopped off at the Ticket Office today and there was not not one single ticket available for the match.

It is indeed, sold out just less than a week ago. Think we'll probably get about 41500 in or so - a few pissy season ticket holders on here were making the point of not going.

We have ruined  our supremacy against Wolves and Albion this season by letting them beat us after quarter of a century so now it's payback time. We must end 13 years of hurst and beat these *uckers at VP.

It doesn't matter, Villa use tickets sold as the number announced, not actual attendance, for the attendance figure!

If we win and Stoke, Bolton and West Brom lose we finish 9th, wouldn't be that bad after the season we've had

[London Villan]

Those few places are worth £3m more in prize money too.
