Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[DB]

We will win.
It says it all when our biggest game of the season is against Bolton to help us stay up!

[Nev]

Time for the dream prediction............................

We're attacking the Holte End in the first half which is already a bad start. We then concede a really scrappy goal in the first fifteen minutes or so, then a long range shot from a Bolton player is heading for the top right corner when one of players, either Herd or Wiemann makes a great save to keep the ball out. Down to ten men and Bolton convert the penalty.

I don't have a clue what happened next, but take heart, my dreams are always way off the mark.

You're way off with that Nev. Bolton's goal will come in the 90th minute.

[Brian Taylor]

Now now, we will already be one up when they get the 90th minute equaliser to achieve another 'glorious draw' and a step closer to........add/delete, as appropriate.

Obscurity?Relegation?

i am personally shitting it!

Is there anything we're supposed to do for Muamba? Assuming we'll be clapping in the 19th minute for Petrov, I wondered if we'd have the strange thing of 2 sets of fans clapping for the 2 players?

Two applauses on 6th minute and 19th minute for Muamba and Stan is doing the rounds on twitter.

I haven't come across any at the moment but have seen a few villa fans tweeting that they are shocked at some other villa fans getting bored of the 19th minute applause.  If true, i think they are bang out of order and should keep their thoughts to themselves.  And they call themselves fans!

Been a long time since i've felt this nervous before a game.

[olaftab]

Who the fuck would take the pen?

as Barry in not on the pitch!

[Oscar Arce]

I am bricking it for this game, keep looking at our possible team and I'm afraid it's piss poor, no leaders as Collins is out, no one who will take a game by the scruff of the neck, no real flair to do something unexpected.
I fear it's going to be a nervy, painful evening.
I hope I'm wrong.

[Chris Jameson]

I dreamt about the game last night too! But it was away at West Ham and we got a crucial win.

Did we scrape into the playoffs?

[Mazrim]

Please stop shitting yourselves. This is football.

Go to the match, have a few pints, have the craic, scream your lungs out and enjoy yourselves.
Everything will be alright.

[TonyD]

Come the Villa boys!  Win tonight and we can then focus on hounding AM out of a job.
