Aston Villa vs Fulham Pre-Match Thread

[Jimbo]

Another frustrating display. We may snatch it because Fulham are so bad, but should we lose I can see it turning very nasty. Lambert will get his Bolton moment. Hopefully we'll do enough to draw at least, but a win should be the minimum requirement here.

[Legion]

We will destroy them 8-0.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Looking at a Fulham forum they are less worried about this game than us - but I think there is a sense of 'we're going down anyway' acceptance for them.

[Simon Ward]

We will destroy them 8-0.

I'll have what Legion's drinking!

[Concrete John]

Missing this one due to a wedding.  3-1 Villa with Big Ben, Gabby and Vlaar from a corner scoring. 

[Des Little]

We'll rip 'em a new one and send all 12 of their travelling fans home to cry into their shandies. 

Villa 4 Fulham 0

They're bringing 3k.

I reckon we will get a 1-0 win with Gabby scoring.

Well the last time they will  be visiting for a while

Win. We better had.

No excuses on this. These are dire and have a softer underbelly than the spineless bozos who play just over the Sandwell border.

We need to smash him good and proper.

[UK Redsox]

Is the Rocket Reducer still planning to be in attendance ?

The result may well hinge on that.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Am I right in thinking that Mitroglu is out and that Bent can't play against us? Also, Berbatov isn't there now.

So presumably that leaves the kid Woodward (something like that) and Dembele (not the Tottenham one) up front for them?

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Woodrow and Dembele, yes. One thing I like about Magath is that he doesn't seem bothered about reputations. Starting youngsters over someone like Bent proves that.

About the game, we simply have to win. No excuses.

[mallo]

Roll over on this one (and I think we potentially will) and the knives will properly be out - we simply have to turn up.

If Magath knows anything at all he'll play wingers and Sidwell will get 2. If we get the first goal I fancy us to win it otherwise a draw - pathetic. Come on Lambert sort it out.

[MarkM]

Convincing display. A deserved 3 points - after 15 minutes
How did we win that... [half] - after 45 minutes
Decent game, unlucky not to win. Draw - after 75 minutes
Typical Villa conceding in the last 10 mins. Draw - after 80 minutes
Same old Villa fucking useless. Loss - after 90+4 minutes
