Aston Villa v West Brom (Round 1) Pre-Match Thread

[Axl Rose]

Bit cold in Tokyo than Nik fingers not working properly?

Haha. Yes mate. I've been hoping for Villa to warm them up...

How are you Aftab?

[WarszaVillan]

If I was a Baggies fan Liam id be extremely disappointed if Pulis played for a 0 0.  We're brittle and there for the taking.

I am disappointed. I detest the approach.

Granted we've got points but its so appalling to watch

Sitting back against us is a good tactic, as we certainly can't break teams down

This sounds like something out of Viz's Top Tips, but...If you are losing or drawing in the last ten minutes try really hard to score a late goal against us and you will almost certainly succeed.

I would swap places with your lot in a second, Liam. We're terrible to watch AND we get no points.

0-1. Dreamt it. Hope to be very wrong.

How are you Aftab?

How am I? Family and  work fantastic Villa miserable as hell like the rest of us. I have not lived through a relegation season ever as in 1987 I was in Japan and communications not being as they are missed the misery however this is new for me as we look doomed! I guess due to age it will be your first one as well.
Flying to Seoul tomorrow  so will be missing this and the cup games. Hoping to catch it in a bar or hotel.

Never ever heard that from a Villa fan

****** hell, you lot must be bad!

Record breaking bad and I have had 50 years of watching Villa to compare it with.

I think we could do with a few more defensive players.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I think we will win. Mainly because I am so damn BORED of picking through the bones of a defeat each week.

Hopefully the Baggies will come at us a bit so the game will be exciting regardless of result, although as Liam says, unlikely under Pulis.

I will never eat shit no matter how hungry and desperate I am. I'd rather die!

[ez]

I'll be happy not to lose.

0-0

We don't do any sort of attacking away from home. We just shove men behind the ball and play for a point. The onus and all the pressure is on you to get a result.

We have a few problems ourselves at the moment with Brown Ideye and Saido Berahino both picking up injuries - that leaves us with the permanent injured Victor Anichebe.

Really looking forward to the game however - we have a great chance to beat you three times in one season which would be nice but the Albion way is a whole heap of disappointment so I wouldn't be surprised to see you win both fixtures.

If I was a Baggies fan Liam id be extremely disappointed if Pulis played for a 0 0.  We're brittle and there for the taking.

Its Pulis, this is how he sets up. Thy will do everything to upset us and know that at some point we will go looking for a result.
