Swansea City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

A shaky 2 -1 win for us I reckon.

Shocking to think that if the Albion won this lunchtime they will be 18 points ahead of us and double our points tally having spent only a fraction of the money we've spent on this squad.

[Simba]

Fifty years a Villa fan and I never thought the Baggies would be a benchmark. If any consolation - it won't last.

But you are right. Well done to them, I wish WE were/can be, the club to prove that you don't need sheik money to compete.

Who is the Ref ? Please not Dowd

Mark Halsey I believe.

2 fatter bastards you will not see.

Taking the missus to her first away for this. She's never seen us concede a goal

A new experience for her then? ;-)

If her luck holds, my brother's getting the sack from now on

[Ozzjim]

Seriously, the only ref other than Down I truly dread the name of is Halsey. Never, ever, ever given us a decision. The pair of them are not fit to referee.

Off to the boozer to watch it. See you all in the post match thread. UTV

First double of the season please

I had a weird dream last night. I can remember some of it.
I hardly ever play football in dreams any more (and if I do I'm barely competent) but last night I played for Villa against Swansea in some mickey mouse playing field somewhere.
It was quite frustrating as it was dark, the lighting was very dim and the ball was black. However, after being fouled all through the game I managed to dance through their defence and slot home the winner.
I woke up looking forward to reading a report of my performance before reality hit me.

I'm pretty sure this is an omen of absolutely nothing at all but just in case its 1-0 to Villa, there you go.
Anyway, happy new year.
We'll come through these shitty times at some point and we'll be alright. Probably.

At least the Baggies stil love us. singing away about us before conceding the second to Fulham. I thought wolves were their near rivals but suppose its the Premiership where they find their nearest rivals.

I rock!
