Aston Villa v Bradford City Pre-Match Thread

[dave.woodhall]

The ground will be bouncing and we will win, easily, and we will win the cup and we will stop up.

Blind faith the downfall of so many football fans just don't go neat the bookies m8 lol

Would it be too much to ask you to write in English?

We'll win the League Cup and stay up.

I know this is really bad, but I am finding it hard to care too much about this game while our top flight death struggle goes on.

I'm gonna quote myself from the other semi-final thread.

Those of you who claim to not care about the cup, I've never seen Villa lift a trophy in my lifetime of following them with a passion. While some of you have the European Cup, countless League cups, division titles, and maybe even an FA Cup if you're old enough, I have nothing. My 'great villa memories' are being in the Holte when Blues got relegated, seeing us win the Peace Cup, and the few seasons we were almost better than Everton. Do you know how depressing that is?

Don't you dare try and take my excitement away from this, it's all I have as younger Villa fan, and being at Wembley to watch Man United lift it 3 years ago almost broke my heart. Lets turn them over and win our cup again, for the thousands of kids my age who don't know what it's like.

Totally see where you are coming from, but I think the point trying to be made is the old "greater good". In my lifetime villa seem to average a cup final every 6 years or so, and even at 17 villa have been to at least 2 in yours chipsticks. If villa win this but went down, the average of seeing villa in a final may increase.

Those are very valid points, but I don't see why we shouldn't see this as a fantastic opportunity to build the lads confidence back up? Battering a team in front of a noisy sold-out home crowd would be a wonder for confidence and morale! (Although alternatively if we get beat it could be catastrophic)

Agreed, Winning breeds winning. Lets hope they do the business.

Defeat will make it harder to, ahem, pick up and go again. It would be a bigger kick in the balls than the Chelsea game.

I'm just dreading getting run-over  :'(

Which begs the question: why did you cross the road?

Because the big, bad lion chased him away. Hopefully.

Because he was being pusued by Jimmy Savile

The lion is Scottish so should be wearing a skirt

Typical Yorkshire racism.

Sorry m8 but I don't think the ipad was designed with my big fat fingers in mind lol

Jimmy Savile was a Yorkshireman. Sort of like Compo out of 'Last of the Summer Wine,' but a necrophile.

Which one was Peter Sutcliffe?

Isn't he the forgotten Beatle?

He wasn't the one on the right.

In fairness, a necrophilia storyline would've been the best episode of "Last of the Summer Wine" ever.

Most of them looked dead in that programme anyway so who would have noticed?

Maybe not. I liked "Last of the Summer Wine" though. I love programmes that are a challenge to masturbate over. Hollyoaks is for amateurs.

Think it will be a goal crazy game and we will win 7-4 and go through with 8-7 win on Agg.

What is more pathetic, the fact you might believe what you've just said or the irony in your racist statement? Anyway enjoy the game folks, the way both teams are going the next time we meet will be a league match

Got to chuckle, supporters of a fourth division club coming on here and telling us we might not beat them, that we're shit etc etc, as if we've not noticed this all season.

I only have to hear the theme tune to 'Songs of Praise' to get a semi on.

Lads, last time we we're in the shit like this Shaun Teale got us out of grief. I've just chatted to him on facebook, he thinks we'll win 4-0.

Panic over.

Yorkshire isn't a race ya daft whippet-shagger. Although at least we can agree we all hate Leeds.
