Southampton v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

So he's like whatever, and I'm like whatever so I sez that I'd cut and paste this from another saints website.

So I'm like whatever

I know a lot of Villas cos I'm living up Birmingham now. They're proper buzzing going on like against Newcastle and Swansea it was like watching the 1970 Brazil team or whatever. This ST holder I work with is genuinely saying this is the best Villa team since 1980something. Was they good then? Bit before my time.

Their tactics, apparently, is hunting the ball down in packs high up the field to win it back early. Don't like the sound of that. I don't reckon we like it when they do that. I prefer them to sit back in their half and let us have a go.

I said you ain't got a good right winger have you? He's like not particularly, why? I'm like no reason....

[Mazrim]

My God, reading that gives me a migraine.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

PL must of upset The Fonz. He scored a brace tonight for Blackpool. On the bench for Southampton :-))

Theyre worried tho! gd #nochanceinamillionyears

Oops, just remembered it's English only on H&V.

Exciting 2-2 draw. There's goals in this Southampton team, but their defence is weak and we could pressurise them into mistakes like we did against Swansea.

[Caiphus]

Looking critically at the game against Swansea at the weekend I would have to say that we miscued a lot of balls in midfield that we wouldn't usually in the first half.  I don't see us being that sloppy against Southampton with the confidence rising.

[PeterWithe]

Is there a Saints supporters club in the San Fernando Valley? Whatever.

1-1 Bent

[supertom]

The sort of game we need to be winning if we want to be top half of the table, as opposed to struggling again. I think we'll win. I think Benteke could score again. Don't think teams will quite know how to deal with him just yet.
0-2
Benteke
Bent

[Baldy]

PL wont admit it but he knows that these are the type of games the villa should win. I have full confidence in his decisions and his positive approach will mean a Southampton 1 Villa 3 result.

First time I have been optimistic for a few years.

It would be typical Villa to lose this. Build up our hopes and expectations, then knock us down.

[danlanza]

3-1 Villa.

Benteke
Bent
Holman
And as for them, i just don't give a damn.

Maybe, just maybe, this time it will be different...

[silhillvilla]

Can anyone recommend a good car park close to the ground ?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Quick look on their forum, they seem to think their left-back Fox if shite.

Should be Ramirez's home debut though.

If that's the case then we should put Warnock in a cardboard box and leave it outside the ground after the match. With any luck they won't post him back.
