West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Lastfootstamper]

I never knew the Hawthorns is the highest ground in England, always though it was Boundary Park, it was like the Arctic Circle up there.

Boundary Park in 87 was the coldest I have ever been at a football match.

and me  and very depressing too

We won.

Chrissy Price Cup game, perhaps? That game still makes me believe the yawnthornes altitude stat is a lie!

That's better...Lawro predicts we will lose 2-0. He nearly always gets our results wrong.

We'd have been relegated by now,going by Lawros predictions

They are going to have to do something remarkable for this game to go ahead, regardless of their plans.

Game will be off I reckon, gives us more time to work on the Sneijder and Coutinho deals

Also probably the first time ever I wouldn't be upset for a game to be called off. Says something that!

How is it down there?

They should call it off today, but they won't will they?

They will wait till I have driven down and sunk a few in the pub before they do that!

Not sure about that. He predicted we would beat Soton and Wigan.

The snow is bad, really bad in Dudley, but they have know about it and should have made the relevant preparations to make sure it goes ahead.

Bit of experience back in the squad which is good.
