Aston Villa v Bradford City Pre-Match Thread

[damon loves JT]

When I think of Yorkshire, I think of Geoff Boycott pushing his car key into the ground while wearing a pair of terrible 1970's coffee-coloured loafers. It's impossible to take the place seriously.

It's also reassuring to know the world's proudest Yorkshireman, Boycott, is a Man Utd fan.

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.

That will do for me.

I know people who work at Edgbaston and apparently Boycott is banned from all the hospitality suites due to his tendency to be filthy around the female members of staff.

Plus he comes from Yorkshire and supports Man Ure.

He is a twat.

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?

Jeremy Beatle?

And hasn't lived in Yorkshire for years. To be honest I don't know anybody who actually likes him.

[Dave Clark Five]

He says what he likes and he likes what he says.

I think we may be in the corridor of uncertainty.

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?

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

Text speak is against site rules. Please stop it.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

All guns blazing. I ask no more. I ask no less.

Can't we rip their heads off too?

4-1 Villa

Mods - are the sub-forums for exiled Villans not in use anymore? I can't seem to start a new topic in the London section.

Anyway, Londonheads, any of you lot congregating for this one? I watched the game on Saturday in The Famous Cock in Islington but to my horror, of the few of us watching the game, almost half were Baggies. Which London pub would you find good Villa attendance for this game? Last thing I want are some Yorkshire straggler plus all the "neutrals" laughing their arses off when we fuck-up the tie by conceding from another corner.

With Westwood out, I think Id give Stephen Ireland one last chance. We should own the ball so he may be of use. Matt Lowton badly needs a break so Id definitely leave him out. We dont have an option of 3 centre backs which I dont think is a particularly bad thing. Dont know if its blind optimism but I think we will slaughter them 5-0.

Delayed kick off due to 80 Bradford coaches being stuck in traffic. They leave at 1600 so that's an 1830 arrival in fair weather. Won't start without them.

They will be making an incredible amount of noise, apparently. Villa Park will never have seen anything like it.

That old witch in the Bannan photo will be ok. She flies in direct on her broomstick.
