Swindon Town v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[john e]

big game for me, i'm more up for cup matches than league games at the moment,

i'm sure he will play Given, and i'm no big fan of Gabby but he did have his occasional great game in the last leg of this comp so i reckon we will see him up front tonight also.

lets face it lambert loves Delph, he loves him with a deep love and so i can see him in the middle again maybe with Bannan,
 but whatever we should have enough to get through, the inexperience shouldnt matter as much as Swindon will be the same with little top class experience in the team.

so i am going for a belting pullverising 1 nill to the Villa (og from someone on there side to score)

The whole media has got this down as the favourite for a giant killing,so hopefully this will fire up the team like it did against Southam.....Oh!

Yeah think you could be right, that's annoying.

Manager Paolo Di Canio has warned his players to expect a tough match against their Premier League opponents tonight.

"Aston Villa have a lot of quality and we know we cannot concede chances to them,” he said.  “They have players who can damage us and Paul Lambert will have his side well prepared to win the game. “Paul is an effective manager and with the players he has I think he is playing the right football to get results. Tonight is a big match for them but I am sure the main target for them is the Premier League.”

Big match for us?  What the hell is Di Canio talking about?

On second thought, he might be right.

Them 2 - 3 Us

Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.  XTC for them.

I hope Mila risks a yellow card by taking her shirt off when she scores.

Will they be serving beer at the ground or is this one of those weird "can't drink alcohol because it's a cup tie" situations?

Apparently Di Cannio has said beating Villa is better than having sex with Madonna, I can't argue with that, Also losing would be better as well

I read that as Maradona for a moment.

Your answer fits both.

I think he means in terms of we have a much better chance of winning the trophy. For them, days like today are a cup final

Alcohol is available within the ground to away fans in the Arkells Stand (but not in the open Stratton Bank End)

This is Villa so of course it will be a nerve shredding affair, the media are having a field day with us so lets show the fuckers that were not quite dead yet, 2-1 Villa.

If we lose I am not going to shave for the entire next month.
