Aston Villa v Ipswich Town Pre-Match Thread

[Le Lapin]

Maybe 3-2 to us. Hard to tell how this team will react on the day. We won't keep a clean sheet, lets hope our forwards have a good day at the office.

[PaulWinch again]

We could really do with a solid and convincing win. I really hope that we have signed some players and have some injured players back when it comes to the Southampton game.

"Don't care"
"Not bothered"
"Rest players"   

What a sad state of affairs if you're prepared to write off The Cup. I assume that those who don't care, won't be contributing to the usual hysterics in the post match thread, which will no doubt be 20-30 pages long by 6pm, if it all goes tits up. Which it won't. 

Throw the towel in for the FA Cup? Against fucking Ipswich? Never sir, never.

3 to fucking nil. 

...is the right answer and right attitude.

The manager quite rightly talks about having a squad full of hungry players, so I expect him and them to be hungry for all competitions. Every game  matters.

Got a feeling NRC will come back and haunt us! To think Ipswich got him on a free......would've been a good influence on our kids in midfield with good advice and above all, leadership. Surely a no-brainer in money terms?

I remember a time at Villa Park when NRC dominated the midfield. His passing was spot on, he physically bullied the opposition and helped set up a win.

He was playing for West Ham at the time.

Villa 3-1 Ipswich.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

4-0 Villa. All goals in the first half.

Can't Fight This Feeling we will win.

Us 2 - 1 Them

A rice cooker and a drumstick from Benteke Fried Chicken for us.

Reo Speedwagon Coker for them.

[Greg N'Ash]

think they'll get a draw. 2-2

[silhillvilla]

1-1 and an inconvenient replay at Portman Rd which we will then win

[silhillvilla]

Only about 100 North lower seats remain when I checked with the TO earlier this am

[kipeye]

Two decent seats in the Holte for £15 each was a nice surprise

[Chipsticks]

1-1 and an inconvenient replay at Portman Rd which we will then win

I think a replay would be the worst case scenario.

[DeKuip]

Hopefully the players don't think that if we're one down with a minute to go.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Still reeks of 1-0 to us.
Put money on it!

I'm down there on Saturday.  Not expecting to see anything of the match to be honest!
