West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

I pray we bury them. They haven't half got delusions of grandeur on account of finishing ahead of us. Silly ******.

[villadelph]

Is Ireland fit or what?

Dunne wasn't in shape before he got injured, I don't know why he would be in shape now but I guess we might as well throw him in the mix. We need fucking goals not better defense.

I hope Gabby turns up to play. He's lost his striker spot though, I'd have him out on the wing opposite of Charles, with Weimann and Heskey up top.

It just shows that no matter how shit we are we'll always be the daddy and the other Midland clubs 'success' will always be measured against us.

[PeterWithe]

I fancy us to go 2 up before they peg it back to a draw with us hanging on for dear life at the end.

Given - Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Lichaj - Ireland, Herd, Warnock, N'Zogbia - Heskey, Agbonlahor

Guzan, Cuellar, Baker, Gardner, Bannan, Weimann, Albrighton

Time for the experienced heads to pull their finger out.

I'm not sure i'd be throwing Dunne back in, seeing as he has'nt played since mid February but if he did, i'd put Carlos at right back who's better than Hutton. I'd also find room for Carruthers on the bench.

Dunne will be blowing like a prostitue with asthma after 15 mins.

[Irreverent ad]

No rationale our reason to this.

I fancy us to win by a couple of goals. No idea why. Just blind faith I suppose.

[Matt Collins]

Good points. I agree about cuellar at right back. It. At be that neither Collins or dunne are fit enough

[UK Redsox]

Having driven past the place for many years on my way to Villa Park, tomorrow is my first visit to the Hawthorns.

How do we get to the away section ?

Is it ...............thro the car park ?
......................down Middlemore Road by Morrisons and then back up that cycle-path looking thing ?
......................down Halford Lane and round the back ?

[Matt Collins]

I do also quite fancy us to win, for no other reason than that sort of thing seems to happen a lot in football. Just as people say villa are really in the shit.

For similar reasons I wouldn't be that surprised if Wigan went down after people blowing smoke up their arse

[Pete3206]

I might be going round the bend, but I feel strangely optimistic all of a sudden.

1-2

[Reuben]

Wouldn't surprise me if it is 0-0 and it might not be a bad thing.

However, my last input on one of these threads predicted a 1-0 v Fulham with a link to a game from the past that I thought may be similar(in that case Newcastle 1-0 at home last year)
So I'm going to go for a 1-0 win again in the style of Blues away 1-0 under O'Leary (when he ran onto the pitch at the end)

[Boz]

If we play Dunne and Collins, there's a fair chance there will be two substitutions well before McLeish's normal changes with 3 minutes to go.

[TonyD]

I would take a draw every day of the week.
