West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Matt C]

Watched the highlights of their amsuing collapse against the mighty Reading last night. Morrison looks a very useful player, as does Lukaku. We'll still beat 'em mind.

[Fin Feds Dad]

0-0 - snoozefest. 

[Concrete John]

0-0 - snoozefest.

Would anyone not take that?

Albion and their lumpen ilk have been transformed, from the elementary sub-amoeba found in the sediments of the primordial stew, to puddle-dwelling lungfish-type creatures as yet unknown to science. They are but sticky, peanut-studded turds squished between the feculent bum cheeks of Birmingham and the Black Country, dangling precariously from frazzled arse hair, awaiting their eventual dispatch into their natural habitat, Satan's eternal lavatory. They are the gnarled calluses on the arthritic wanking hand of the Devil's idiot half-brother. They give the sputum-chomping subterranean rat people of the Dark Ages a bad name and, whatever the score, they will always occupy the slippery rung at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder. Yes, they've certainly gone up in the world.

That is Genius and should get a round of applause.

That should be Lambo's team talk, but not a word of it would be understood, what with him mumbling and the illiterate players being distracted by their diamond-encrusted Iphones.

From peanut-studded turds to diamond-encrusted Iphones. Can we stamp-out all the studding and encrusting FFS?

Is Dunne fit?

[JUAN PABLO]

Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne is poised to return to training later this week after undergoing three operations this season, Press Association Sport understands.
Republic of Ireland international Dunne, who is out of contract at Villa this summer, has been sidelined all season by groin and hip problems.
Villa have sorely missed his experience at the heart of their defence, particularly during the absence of captain Ron Vlaar with a calf problem.
It has been a nightmare 12 months for 33-year-old Dunne who was also out injured for nearly three months with a shoulder problem before returning at the very end of last season.
Villa boss Paul Lambert said: "If you look when Richard did his shoulder, he only came back for a couple of games and then had the groin problem at the Euros.
"He's not played much football for a year really. But the (latest) operation in America was successful and the main thing for everyone is to get him back fit."

p,s   seems to be

[JUAN PABLO]

p.s  probably sign for QPR on saturday morning

[Oscar Arce]

Dunne won't be available but Vlaar surely to come back in place of Baker I suppose.
We need to turn it around sooner rather than later so I'm going for a draw, 1-1.

[Chipsticks]

0-0 - snoozefest. 

I'd still be on the edge of my seat with nails bitten clean off.

What is this 8th minute applause thing?
