Aston Villa v MartinO'Neill'sSunderland Pre-Match Thread

[paulcomben]

I will be there. I was that MON ST holder type slag. Glory hoping. I did lose faith and see his limitations 2 years agom. I did not renew this season.

I have only been to 3 other games this season : Toon, Swans, Fulham. Yes, exactly.

Literally, a win tomorrow would give me faith, a defeat would make me insane and a draw would confirm our club's utter perennial meh nature.

It's a biggie.

Just one win, that's all we need.  One fcuking poxy win.

and that is what we shall deliver Des. The players must be up for this one.
3-1 to Villa

[Chipsticks]

Petrov's been in to visit them. They know how much this means to us.

We'll win.

I normally deliver some rabble rousing prose, but I think that after a cagey start, this will be surprisingly comfortable.

[Matt Collins]

I'm really surprised how confident some are. I hope you're right.

But we've got the worst form amongst all the teams at the bottom over the last 10 games, except for wolves, and we've win 4 games at home all season. The Norwich win was a good one, with 2 against fellow strugglers and the other - against fulham - was in the last minute. I'd take a dull draw to be honest

[Percy McCarthy]

Me too.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'm hoping we go for the win for some breathing space, but can't help feeling that Honest Alex will go all out for a drab draw.
Then he'll riverdance in front of the Directors box.

This had better be worth the 6 hour round trip. Please don't be at home to Mr Cock Up this afternoon Villa.

[Eigentor]

Call me a misery-arse, but I'll take a point and QPR losing against Spurs later today.

[richard moore]

Will think of everyone on the match thread this afternoon and will be imagining likely reactions! I have a long standing promise to take my youngest daughter and friends to Thorpe Park. Leaving them there and walking along the Thames with my dogs from Windsor. Personal radio and earphones at the ready to tune in to R5 whilst I do so....

[TaxDodger]

Call me a misery-arse, but I'll take a point and QPR losing against Spurs later today.

I really hope we've won by then so I can want QPR to win.

Just one win, that's all we need.  One fcuking poxy win.

So did Blues last year strangely enough.

Today, of all days, we expect every player to play with a keenness of sinew, a lion hearted bravery and a commitment unfaltering. We are quaffing drinks at the last chance saloon, stout hearted men will need to be giants and faint hearts diminished.
Heretic or nay, be of blended knee and of one voice to your chosen deity bring us victorious and triumphant for Stilyan.

4-0 Wiemann (3) Carruthers (1)
