West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[damon loves JT]

In Frank Skinner's promo for his hilarious radio show, he tells an anecdote about the time he went on holiday to a luxury resort in Grenada.

It's that kind of wry, accurate observation of everyday experiences that gets him the big bucks

[Mossie Hennebry]

Just woken up from a dream where we were 2-0 up and went on to draw. I rarely dream about football anymore, so I am taking it as a sign. Also, Paddypower has the odds of a 2-2 draw at 11/1, 3 points less than anyone else, so a room full of actuaries must have had the same dream. 2-2 @ 14/1, cash in on the misery!

I'd sign Kevin Muscat on a one-match loan. And possible Dereck Chisora.

What price Terry Hurlock and/or Pat Van Den Hauwe?

Haha, that's a robust team.  Good to see Joseph and Otto on the correct wings.

Even Ivanhoe should be mobile enough to negotiate his way through all the broken limbs and slot a few in.

When he comes off the bench, obv.   After they've been tenderised.

Another weekend, another Villa fixture, another feeling of gloom and dread in the pit of my stomach. 

Part of me hopes that Tuesday night was a collective look into the abyss and everyone will pull together and we'll put in a performance that gets a result.

That's the heart hoping.

My head tells me we'll lose 2-1.

[LeeB]

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

Don't worry Lee, you should only have to move a couple of streets.

You've got more chance of seeing the Sasquatch over here.

[LeeB]

There was some Stripey prick on Hawksbee & Jacobs show on Talksport yesterday doing the predictions.

He said something like "Cor see Villa scorin, 3-0 to Albion". And it wasn't bravado, he genuinely believed it, the deluded prick.

[richard moore]

Everything crossed for today, one can barely contemplate how a win would lift the mood of all of us. Wouldn't it be wonderful...

[danlanza]

A win would be fantastic and stop me being a grumpy twat again for the next few days.

Too true my friend though I rather enjoy your mega long post-match rants!

Watch this space matey.The wrong result and i will be on a real bloody rant!

[Ian.]

We are going to win 2-0 and finish the season with a flourish.

[Ads]

I believe, with a religious zeal, that we will smash these Mickey Mouse twats into next week.

Their misplaved arrogance will be cleansed and they will leave their little rat hole of a stadium knowing that the Villa will be back next year and that this game is a taster for our dominance which will last anothrr thousand years.

Insignificant wankers.
