Aston Villa v Bradford City Pre-Match Thread

[Dave Clark Five]

He was a twat, that announcer.

It's weird as I'm currently not nervous or worried about tomorrow at all. Having witnessed that first 45 at WBA I know we will smash this lot.

Is the orange dot going to put in an appearance on the match thread?

No, I think it shouild be rested for the next League Game.

[walsall villain]

I'm getting nervous, but then again I get nervous every game. One minute I think we can do this, the next we can't. I simply cannot bear the thought of us going out tomorrow.

Well it really is in the balance. Expecting after 85 minutes we still won't know whose going to come out on top, that's the Villa way.

[silhillvilla]

I wonder if those Indian/Muslim girls who were giving Bannan pelters are coming up for the return leg. They were bloody hilarious.

I think we're going to wipe the floor with them.

[Des Little]

If we go through we should give their stadium announcer the man of the tie ward. I understand Paul Lambert wasn't best happy with him.

None of us were. I know we are bigger than this, but in the event of us winning I'd love our announcer to ask their bloke if he could have his hotel room now. And ideally follow it with 'now fuck off'.

I always knew it shouldn't have a second i .

Interestingly, Ladbrokes have Bradford as clear favourites to make the final, 4/6 vs 11/10. Worth a tenner? I think so, I think we're overpriced...

I agree it was provocative, and for that reason he should not have done it. But, was it any more disrespectful than Villa pushing half-season tickets on the back of an implied Wembley Final. Villa's actions were calculated, whereas you could put the Bradford Announcer's actions down to exhuberance.

We didn't do it in a volatile situation.

I feel exactly the same.  Jon has just put a bet on for me at 4-1 to us.

I would love to win just to ram it up George Galloway's pipe. Wherever he may be (not Bradford)
