Aston Villa v Southampton Pre-Match Thread

Right, time to head off otherwise Dave won't give us our pre-match gruel. If you pass by stop and say hello, always nice to put faces to names. Enjoy the game. UTV!

Right, we're going to win today.

COME ON!!!

God, I hope we get a win today. Sadly, I just don't think we'll get one. I just hope the team show some sort of fight, or belief, or spirit, or whatever you want to call it.

Depressing, I know. I'm starting to forget what it feels like to enjoy watching football, I'm approaching each Villa game with a growing sense of dread.

Ah well, maybe I'll be cheered up by a rousing win today.

Never know what to expect these days with villa- it's like a rollercoaster .
Lets hope today is a high .

Looks like Auntie can smell blood. Mark Chapman is at VP. Are we gonna have to listen to Alan cocking Green again telling us how abominable we are?

I'd describe us more as a Big Dipper than a rollercoaster

Just hope we do not get a right tonking because then i think the bullet will land right in Lamberts head.
If he is sacked after todays game, because of another heavy home defeat, then we can pretty much say we are nailed on for relegation ,.or a constant battle to avoid it. Cmon Villa, give us something to be positive about, please, please, please.

We need to win this to shut those fuckers up.

Ok, today i'd go with.......

Guzan

Lowton    Vlaar (if fit)  Baker    Lichaj

Bannan  Westwood  Delph  Holman

      Weimann      Benteke

Subs: Given (if fit) Clark Gabby Ireland N'Zogbia Bennett Carruthers

Nzogbia for Holman and Clark for Delph , left back Stevens rather than lichaj .

Agree with those two changes, but would go with N'Zogbia and Holman as the wide options.  The news about Vlaar and Westwood possibly being back has lifted my spirits and I am quite looking forward to going to this one.

Ideal outcome would be to disappoint all of them, and give them nothing to say.
