[wookster]

Was in Bradford getting new hoover and the guy serving me told me the staff were laughing at him as they were Manure fans and he was a Lplop, theyd have pissed themselves if Id come clean

My son was discussing the amount of Liverpool supporters there are in his football team at the weekend, he knows about gloryhunters but was puzzled as to why so many 'support' Liverpool. I explained to him that it's more than likely their parents started supporting them because they were the Man Utd of the 70's and 80's, he looked at me like I was from another planet.

He did say to me though that he's glad I liked the Villa kit when I was 10 because he can't imagine supporting another team.

Spot the mistake.

Well Westwood's cup-tied. Also, this game should not have a U certificate - it will not be suitable for younger viewers.

[Lambert and Payne]

Ashley Westwood is cup-tied

Absolutely, it boils my piss when plastic reds who live by me try and give me stick. I'm all for a bit of banter but I struggle to engage in any with them.

there was a great post last week, i forget who,
but it was comparing Man utd and Villa to the Spice Girls and the Clash, one being popular with the masses and very succesfull the other being the only ones that matter,

i've been using it ever since down the pub to wind the glory hunting twats up,
 so whoever it was thanks

That's a fantastic analogy.

I can't be doing with glory hunters, the worst is a friend of mine who supported Villa, then Blackburn when they won the title and then moved to Chelsea. Now it's bad enough ditching Villa, but to change again after that. I just don't talk to him about football, got no time for his opinion.

It wasn't over confidence (last thing we have this season). It was missing a shitload of chances and defending like a pub team that cost us (so far).
If we can't be confident of beating you 2-0 at Villa Park then something really is wrong.

2:0 just takes it to extra time. We didn't play Saturday & last Tuesday we played a weakened side against Crewe so I can't see why you would want to take us to extra time. As for penalty shoot outs we have the best record in England having currently won 9 in a row so what you actually NEED is 3:0 in 90 mins. One goal to City really puts the ball in our court.

Personally I think it will be a highscoring game, you have to chase the game giving us the chance to counter. It could easily be 3:1 either way or 4:4

Looking at your defence this season I'll say we'll definitely score at least one

You created nowt (yorkshirism for the word nothing) to speak of from fluid open play so will have to improve markedly I feel to achieve your aim of making the final.  You can't honestly say that on the balance of play, possession, and clear cut chances created in the last game that Bradford were the better team in that match over 90 mins football.  You know and all Villa fans know that if you had been playing another League 2 side that night with a more experienced defensive set up that you would not have scored three goals.  All three of your goals came out of errors by Villa when defending 3 corners for heavens sake.  Law of averages says you can't be as fortunate this time around.  Just make sure that on the way home from the match tomorrow both you and all your Bradford supporting chums leave the windows open in the cars and coaches as your tears of hurt will help to melt the snow away thanks.

The weather might restrict the Bradford following as to follow the snow they are now predicting fog up this way! Should make the M62/ M1 interesting!
