Tonight is a two-stage process.

1.  Get in to them
2.  Fock them off

I think we should fock them off first, and then get in to them.

Good point well made.  Let's go with that then.

The ref is Mark Clattenburg apparently.
Good thing or bad thing ? What do you reckon ?

Good, he's one of the best refs out there.

I am trying to get excited about tonight but failing - all I can think about is the rubbish I have watched at VP and am now expecting every home game.

The daft thing is I think we will take it to Everton in the next match and it will be a cracker!

Ok well I've booked my ticket and will be heading down from liverpool shortly.....so they'd better play well!!
My cunning plan, as I'm travelling on to Gloucester afterwards, is to drive down to Tame Bridge Parkway and get the train in from there.  Only flaw in that plan is that the train will be full of in-bred Yam-yams I guess.

I don't see Albion having much firepower these days, especially with Long having left for Hull City/Tigers.

Scrappy 1-0 derby Win for AVFC - Ooooh Christian Benteke with the goal.

Don't think it will be pretty tonight, could be plenty of hoof with Benteke and Holt up front for at least part of the game.

Any news on Gabby's fitness? It would be a real loss if he didn't play. It's not just him as a player we'd be losing but also the system.

I don't wanna replace him with Alshiteon in a 433 or Holt in a 442.

Missing Men:-

Villa 2 - 1 West Brom 14/12/2002

Gave up after five minutes with the right-back (not really a right-back) and right-sided midfielder still to get. I'd entirely forgotten about the latter player.

There were 3 that I didn't get, the right-back, a centre-back and unbelievably had forgotten about one of the strikers. The worse I've ever done on a Villa missing men.
