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

[silhillvilla]

Vlaar is giving jenas a good run for his money

[aj2k77]

Just had a look and out of 118 games he's played 76, so that's  pretty much 42 matches missed through injury. More than 1 in 3.

[Clampy]

1-1.

Not going to be enough.

I'd take a draw tomorrow, mainly because we just need to stop losing.

Sherwood pre-game saying WBA are a nice little club but he's glad he's at a massive club. Not helpful IMO, rather than trying to get the fans on side with these comments he needs to do it with results and performances.

It really is amateur hour with our Tim

I'd rather have a bit of bravado than the Lambert/Houlier? Mcliesh 'we cant compete' bollocks

[Des Little]

I'd much, much rather have Okore in than Vlaar every day of the week. And what is it with Senderos? 4 months out with a calf strain? He's been getting tips from Ron I think.

[cdbearsfan]

I keep forgetting Senderos plays for us.

I get injured most weeks at five a side and I'm back the next week. Modern footballers are wimps.

He doesn't, very much.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Calf strain? Shouldn't try and lift baby cows then.

I agree as like you I am sick and tired of manager's apologizing for our existence. Mind you it would sound better on the back of 7 wins and not 7 defeats. I think there is a time and a place to act the big one and this might not be it. Then again, he might be thinking "fuck it, we're Aston Villa, let's start acting that way"

[kippaxvilla2]

I hope he knows what he's doing but I have my doubts.

Thats Pulis' team talk done then.  We get more unprofessional by the week

[Legion]

This is one for Our Tim:

[PaulWinch again]

He really is a prick.
