Aston Villa v Hull City Pre-Match Thread

[supertom]

1-0 Villa. A slog and a pig of a game, but hard thought.
Delph to celebrate his England call up with a belter.

Villa 2 (Senderos 65, Grealish 88)
Hull 1 (Davies 16)

Can the OP or a Mod change the "City" in the thread title to "Tigers" please?

[UK Redsox]

I almost put 'Tigers' but then I remembered that I moaned last season about people using incorrect/unflattering names for other clubs in match threads. Therefore, I stuck with the correct name.

Maybe we should have a poll , how many shots on target

I'm going for 4.

the total for both sides I presume

[Legion]

All season.

A winnable game. Therefore it'll be a draw.

Hull fact. One of my favourite songs was written in Hull, 'Whole Wide World' by Wreckless Eric.

One of mine too, his search for a woman is like Villa's for a more productive midfielder. I'll volunteer as our Tahiti scout if it helps.

His autobiography is a good read Chris. Eric's, not sure our Tahiti scout has written his yet.

[Chris Jameson]

Either a 0-0 or 1-0 either way
 
Can't overstate how much we need to win this one.

Absolutely, the point Man United picked up today puts them only 2 points behind, crucial we pick up 3 points to avoid being dragged into the relegation battle.

Our home record is atrocious over the last 8 years, do you think if we filled the stadium Sunday and lifted the roof off the Holte it'd make the slightest bit of difference to how we perform with Lambert as manager??..

I don't think it would.

No. Why do people keep suggesting it's the fans fault.
We have a clueless , tactically inept manager and a team that cannot create or score goals.

That can go third with a win tomorrow. I'd certainly love to hear your views on the other 17 clubs because if we have the problems you claim, they really must be in trouble :)

[olaftab]

We should win tomorrow. The only worry is that Hull have never beaten us at VP so blind squirrel  syndrome come to mind.

[silhillvilla]

Hopefully we will see different tactics tomorrow. Setting us up to win a game rather than a must not lose approach.

1-0 Bent and back in the champions league places.

He always comes across to me as a miserable bastard.

Any news on the fitness of Vlaar and Cissokho?
