Aston Villa v Fulham Pre-Match Thread

[Lobsterboy]

2-1 Villa!

Weimann and Vlaar for us, couldn't care less for them!

[Witton Warrior]

I'm bringing a young fella for his first ever VP match so you better bloody deliver Villa!
Tight, nervy, attack-minded match with one of my favourite players (Berbatov) having a great game yet ending on the losing side as we win 3-2

He was outstanding at spurs. I would have loved it if we could have got him when he left united.

Really looking forward to watching this tonight. I predicted a draw initially, but I keep fluctuating between thinking it will be a draw or a Villa win. I think I'll stick with a draw so I don't feel let down if it happens.

I'll have to go easy on the ace so I manage to stay awake for it!

Woke up feeling very nervous, it will be a tense affair but recent wins will have given the players the confidence to get the job done today, 3-1 Villa, c'mon you Lions.

[Ross]

Funny feeling this will be the day we keep a clean sheet!  1-0 Benteke.

[PaulWinch again]

Please Villa a comfortable win today.

[Matt Collins]

Have we had a single comfortable win in the league all season? Maybe Liverpool, but even then we were under the cosh at the start. Sunderland was comfortable-ish, but only a one goal margin.

Despite recent good form, we're still making it edge of the seat stuff. Would be great to get a standard 2-0 win wouldn't it?

hope the performance/result is better than the shit weather

Let's hope for 3 points then we can sit down tomorrow afternoon and watch Stoke and Sunderland battle it out in their respective games.

As for the other games, i hope i'm wrong but i can see QPR getting something at Everton.

I'm thinking of going by a different route today.  Would this be a bad omen (even if I'm wearing my lucky pants)?

Lawro will be threatening legal action for use of his words Matt.


It is going to be a horrible afternoon. So close to scrambling out, but I fear Fulham will be like the girl out the ring, reaching up to pull us back into the abyss.

Yes it would. I fully intend at 70 minutes if ahead to not watch any further as per the West Ham, QPR and Stoke games.

Swansea at home?

I'd also say West Ham was pretty comfortable, bar their lucky goal that made the last 10 minutes a bit nervy.

I think by definition that meant it wasn't comfortable. I would like a nice easy 3-0 win today please.

Nothing wrong with the weather. 3-1 Villa.
