West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Dave Cooper please]

We'll 'ommer um.

5-1 to Villa.

[villanic]

1-1. We'll take the lead but won't be able to hang on again.

No way will those Yammer twats do us three times on the spin. Fuck Sandwell town.

I don't fancy this. Roy's done a cwacking job with them. They're fairly solid now, safe mid-table.

Despite how comfortable they are, there's no danger of them having one eye on their holidays at the weekend. Roy's too professional to let the happen firstly and secondly, every Baggie out there would love nothing more than to hammer a nail or two into our relegation coffin. It'd make their bloody season if they had a big hand in relegating us.
I can't see us keeping a clean sheet. We were woeful against Bolton. West Brom are a much better side with a decent front line. We'll struggle. We can't handle pace either. We won't score more than 1 either.
2-1 WBA.
I think it's gonna be all on the Norwich game. Hopefully they'll have their deck chairs out. I do actually fancy nabbing a fairly unimpressive and comfortable win off them.

[Vanilla]

I predict us to win 0-0.

The Baggies are loving it...

When was the last time they did the double over us?

I know a chap who has been a season ticket holder for near on 15 years home and away went to all the European games as well (even the one in Russia where they put out a second team) and he didn't once grumble or moan about it. However when he heard McLeish had become manager he gave it all up and decided to go to watch Redditch United saying he wasn't going to pay money to watch the drivel that was going to be served up by Villa this season.



sums it up .

[Rotterdam]

2-0 to them. 

[Lizz]

Villa win, 0-1.

[glasses]

Not an ounce of sympathy from me, for any of them. I've waited years for this opportunity. Finally, we're the top dogs, now it's our time to take the p!ss and watch these lot suffer.

Top dogs? Fuck off. Finishing higher in the league for the first time in their lifetime makes them top dogs? Even if we go down, its undisputable.

[Lee]

We'll 'ommer um.

5-1 to Villa.

Would be the best Xmas gift ever for me. I'm taking some unprecedented shit from these Wankers recently

I hate Albion, but to be fair they don't tend to come out with shit like the above. That's normally reserved for SHA. Until now.

They are seriously unbearable at the moment and they are all coming out with that shit posted above to a man.

They have spent less money and have a better team, not a great team but a bit better thn our team, if they are proud of having a slightly less shitty team than us it tells you all you need to know about them.
Beating The Villa is hardly a sign of greatness, 2 0 to them

[Nev]

Small Heath - Vicious and violent.
Sandwell - Bitter and twisted.

As bad as we've been this season and with exception maybe of Odemwingie, I don't think any of their players would get into our strongest XI we could field.  By that I mean:

Given

Cuellar
Collins
Dunne
Warnock (bad I know, but would we swap him for Ridgewell?)

Jenas
Petrov
Ireland
N'Zogbia

Bent
Gabby (maybe switch him for Odemwingie)

Not many of their players getting in that side and it's shame we haven't been able to field that team more often.  I think they are a bang average mid table side, whose fans are getting way ahead of themselves.
