[paul_e]

I kinda wish I'd read the last page before replying now, could've told Dave to breath on the post...

[rutski]

quite a nice guy in my local (park Tavern in kingswinford, large olbeyun followin)said to me the other week 'oh i remember when we did Alex Cripply' and started laughing! i replied to him that i always thought he was an intelligentish man and always took note of his football stories and banter and enjoyed it! i then said i would treat every word out of his mouth from now on with utter disdain and contempt, to which he replied, 'Ifucking heard the crack as well, it was great, villa cont!'
lets do these bastards tomorrow! i NEED it to happen!

Before pretty much every game this season I've convinced myself that this will be the game when our form turns and I see no reason to stop that dellusional notion now - 2-1 Villa, Gabby to get the winner in the last five minutes.

Yes, Matt.  Call it blind faith if you will, but that really is why we keep coming back isn't it?

They can't take our hope Rigadon

[TimTheVillain]

McLeish needs to stop playing 4-4-2 imo. We can't dominate against any time in the league with that formation as even Wolves tore us apart in the first half at Molineux when we played that.

WBA will probably go 4-4-2 so I think he needs to take Albrighton out (he has done very little in the last two games) and try to outnumber them in central midfield.

Still think WBA will win this 2-0 as can't see us creating much and we'll probably concede from a corner like we did twice at VP.

Just a hunch but I don't think Dave cares too much for the Stripey Filth.

I hate the fact that deep down they think they are a big club and have great support despite it being 40 years since won anything and 50 years since they averaged 30K in a season. Wankers.

All the top team in the Midlands bollocks. 2 wins against us in decades and 1 finish above us in the same time and suddenly it's as though the previous 125 years never happened. Wankers!

Banging on how we're always mentioning 80-82 as it's all we have. And then proceeding to talk about Jeff Astle, Ronnie Allen and the Three Degrees and that lates 70s/early 80s side was better than us (despite us winning trophies and they won fuck all) for hours on end. Wankers.

Always claiming to be in the home stands at Villa Park and how they took the piss and sang and wanked themselves off and Villa doing nuffin about it. Despite no one ever seeing them anywhere in the home ends.
Classic example. I had the misfortune to look at one of their fan sites after the VP game earlier this year, and a load of them were banging on about being in the UT taking the piss. Funny that the area they mentioned they were in was just behind my seat and they said and did fuck all in the time I was there. Assuming they were there at all. Or maybe they just waited until everyone had gone. Wankers.

WBA 0-1 Villa (Heskey 90+4)

[Lee]

That's impressive Dave.

I know the Wanker that was involved in the Everton Fan losing his eye. He got caught at the Uplands row too, all though was a very peripheral figure. Lot of bluster and no substance sums the situation.

I live in an Albion area by and large and they are just unbearable at the min. Us losing tomorrow and I may have to emigrate

[Legion]

How about a re-written update?

[James]

Just a hunch but I don't think Dave cares too much for the Stripey Filth.

I don't think PeterWithesShin is that keen either! Fair play, they are a bunch of knobheads, bless 'em!

Edit: And I do mean Boggies are, not DW and PWS! Hahaha

[Legion]

They pale into insignificance once you've met and discussed it with Greg (not Nash).

[VancouverLion]

0-1 Agbonlahor 83 mins.  I know it!
