Aston Villa v Leicester City (FA Cup) - Sun 15 Feb 2015 Pre-Match Thread

Let's hope the Marshall Brothers (r)amp it up for us and that performance wise they go up to eleven.

[manic-road]

I don't think we can suddenly turn into a team that looks like scoring or play a lot better that quickly, so lose 0-2.

[Legion]

Villa win. Mainly because me, Legion and Freddy are sat together as we did the previous rounds, not that i'm superstitious!

Will be very interesting to see how we play on Sunday.

1-0

Benteke

[Clark W Griswold]

I think we'll sneak a win.

[Musicmaan]

I reckon we'll do 'em, 64% to 36%.

[Lizz]

2-0 to us.

I am more up for this game, than any game in recent memory, and i dont think im alone.

The Holte will be that 12th man

Complained about my seat in the Trinity being £25 so am in the Holte for this one and will be singing my nuts off.

What time does the nice lady come round with tea, biscuits and bedpan?

My genuine concern is that they will be so instilled with Lambertness that we will play exactly the same way as we did at Leicester, Arse and Hull...and several other games, obviously.

I hope to McGrath I'm massively wrong!

Come on you Villa boys!

Does us all good to mingle with the "salt of the earth" types on occasion. I must admit, I did struggle to attract the attention of the biscuit lady on my last visit. Found it hard to nap, too, if truth be told.

Was working over in Leicester this morning, and I was sat at a desk in the main office. A middle age lady sat in front of me asked her colleague "what time is kick off again Sunday?", I gave her a reply.
She turned around and looked at me slightly bemused.
"I'm a Villa fan" I said, and she smiled, tilted her head slightly, and gave me the kind of look your mom does when you tell her you're upset because your girlfriend has dumped you when your thirteen.

Really want us to win the cup this season.

This is a really intriguing situation now. All the lambert haters will have no excuse to stay away so I'd be expecting a crowd approaching 40k for this match now. And the atmosphere should be pretty lively!

The players have to be up for it, whether they were still behind lambert or not, they now know they have a bit of freedom to be a bit more adventurous.

It's been said further up the thread, but I also was thinking back to what happened in a big cup competition the last time we Had temporary management in place!

[Legion]

40K? No chance.

[UK Redsox]

40K? No chance.

is the TR Upper open for this round?

[Legion]

No mate.

[silhillvilla]

40K? No chance.

30k I reckon
