Aston Villa v Fulham Pre-Match Thread

He's a secret something.
The guy is an arrogant tit, "I'm on the Beeb and I played for L-pool and won some trophies". His lack of reaserch is is terrible. I remember him doing a Spuds match just when Bale was getting better & noticed, he asked to commentator "which club did they buy him from?". He hardly says anything insightful. Why does the BBC employ him and other like Crooks / Savage....awful.

Agree.
I'm not keen on John Motson, but you can't knock the guys research. He has a snippet on every player on the pitch from previous clubs to shoe size.

I can't stand "Motty". Fucking clueless about football (he tipped Wolves to finish top half the season they went down), awful commentary and a really annoying voice.

Because he can research some useless facts, doesn't make him worthwhile.

Pat Nevin is the best summariser the Beeb have.

I like Garth Crooks. There, I said it.

Agree, but you have to laugh at some of his snippets, totally irrelevant to the game.
Along the lines of "That's a great tackle by Westwood. His wife bought a lovely red dress yesterday"

this is a very....

Alex McLeish and Peter Grant convince Brett Holman that Villa will be a lot better in 2012/2013

3-1

No way will we keep a clean sheet.

Benteke, Gabby & Weimann.

Fulham currently stand 6th in the form guide with recent wins over Spurs, Stoke and QPR. Those of you saying we should beat them just because they have nothing to play for just bear that in mind.

I voted draw earlier but I've changed my mind and I'm going for a narrow 2-1 win.  DO that and we can really start to look above us rather than behind for the first time in what seems like ages.

[McGraths Dry Cleaning]

The last time I saw us win in the league was against Fulham last season!! Big crowd? Bought our tickets on Monday and Holte looked pretty full.

[KevinGage]

Think we'll come a cropper here.   Defence is still iffy and Fulham hve caused better sides than ours problems.  The way this season has gone, I can't see us doing anything the easy way.   

A routine home win to ease the pressure just isn't us. I still think we'll scramble enough points to be safe, mind.   Would take a draw, but think we could see a 1-2 or 1-3 for Effin' Fullham.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

I'll say this for about the 8th game running... Surely we're due a clean sheet.

1-0 Villa

Just snapped up some tickets on the family promotion for me, my mate and his kids. We've won every time they've come to the match, so I'll plump for 3-1 to us. Would like to see a goal from a midfielder alongside Gabby and Benteke hitting the net... step up, Westwood!
