Enough of this fear and whimpering. You cannot forge confidence hiding in shadows from the likes of West fucking Brom and Bradford fucking City.

It's not really about confidence or whimpering, I was thinking in terms of a postponement would give us the chance to play any signings we make this window in that fixture.

Mind you, there wasn't much confidence forged in the last match against Bradford City.

That made me chuckle.

I'm sitting front row of the lower Holte (not through my choice) and am expecting a very strange atmosphere. If Bradford get an early goal it will be horrible, likewise even if we win I still think it will be tense and edgy down there. I'm certainly not expecting the euphoria that followed the Blackburn game a couple of years ago if we go through. Will be interesting to see.

Albion are in terrible form too with a stack of players out. Play them now, the same with wanky Bradford.

Enough of this fear and whimpering. You cannot forge confidence hiding in shadows from the likes of West fucking Brom and Bradford fucking City.

Well said old boy. Well said.

Yep. It's time to come out fighting. Fortune favours the brave!
I dont doubt for a minute that its time to come out fighting, Im just struggling with the idea that the ones on the pitch share the same spirit. All I want is a centre half that looks and plays like one, then Id be happy to smash West Brom.

Bradford fans saying they have tickets in home areas. One even boasting he's going with a nose in the Holte.

Well they certainly talk a good game, as for the last two years every time I've looked at Pravda someone's been piping up with the usual motivational gubbins.  It's Concrete Ron's turn today.

Certainly agree that we shouldn't fear the likes of Smethwick or Bradford though.  If we're going to suffer sleepless nights over those pair them we might as all well just pack up and go home.

Players have to be registered before the first leg in order to take any part in the tie.

We're Aston Villa. Former Champions of Europe. We should not be worried by Albion who have had their first half a decent season in 358 years, and Bradford, WTF?! Let's get in to them and show them who's boss.

Probably not going to happen though.
I agree. However the sad state is the apparent belief and how we act like 'we were' that Aston villa. The Aston villa I see week in week out in all aspects is far far from the way a club of our statute should be going about its day to day!
I sooooo want to go to wembley and see us lift another trophy. However, the recent management of this club (board room down) are not doing Aston villa proud

Doesn't that say it all though? They would rather see us suffer than see themselves prosper.
