Good read but who's Concrete Tom?

 ;D

Bloody hell. Apologies John!

That's not a problem, Liam!

However, you do seem to have attributed some answers to me that I didn't give?

The chap who posted a couple above yours? Concrete Tom and Concrete John are two different people.

Unless I've missed something.

I was just looking at their pre match thread.

Reading some of their comments, you'd think they were pushing for Europe and we were in a relegation fight rather than us one place below them on goal difference - a goal difference of 1.

I don't have anything against Albion by and large, I never encountered them in my youth as i was the other side of the city, so i find it hard to get annoyed too much by them either way - they've been utterly insignificant to me for 45 years - but reading some of that forum, they don't half have some deluded fans.

Apart from one member who was talking with his tongue firmly in his cheek I don't see how you have come to the conclusion that some of our supporters on the forum are deluded - unless you're looking in a topic which I've missed.

Most of us have admitted this will be a difficult game and that a draw is most likely.

Nice forum, by the way.

Thank you.

Looking at the score predictions on the thread I think delusions is a pretty fair assessment, there's a 4-0 and a 4-1 for starters, that's just silly, both teams average about a goal a game for and against, this is going to be tight and pretty low scoring, with 1-1 the safe bet.  I'm all for a bit of bravado but reign it in a bit, there's nothing between the teams in terms of results and very little in terms of squad depth or quality in the starting 11.

We haven't conceded a goal away from home since August. We're probably due to ship one.

My apologies Liam Baggies. I completely missed Concerete Tom's post. I just assumed you meant our very own Concrete John.

Oh and apologies to Concrete Tom.

Have we all seen some of the lovely responses to what Liam put up on their forum?

To be honest, mine were a bit tongue in cheek and Liam seems a decent guy. But dear me, that Zippy and Bungle guy seems like a right racist dick.

Agbonlahors 'big bottom lip' indeed. We know what he is

Just got back from watching the Hammers getting hammered.
Very welcome to see such a civilised thread Liam Baggies. It is a shame there are not more fans from local clubs like yourself.
Right, that's enough kissing arse. Hoping for a great game between our teams, but we will push you to the limit Liam.
I am going with a 3-1 win for Villa. No disrespect, but i think we are due a good away win.
Take care and enjoy the game. UTV.
