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

Let's be honest, if they lose 8 in a row then they deserve to have their pay suspended. It's completely unacceptable.

[VicMackey]

Time for some positivity.  Let's smash the Albion tonight and damn their impudence!

[LeeB]

If we can't beat this bunch of Mickey Mouse chancers we may as well pack it in.

3-1 Villa.

[Des Little]

We really need to score first.  And we will.  2-0 Villa

Sherwood v Pulis is more of a cock fight than a dog fight

Good morning everyone. I would like to claim this as first ever post on H&V from on board a flight on A380 from Dubai to Seoul. So we better win tomorrow as we are Aston Villa the greatest football club on earth and at 41000 feet!

HEITS!

Indeed. UTV.

Somebody posted a little earlier, said they were on the top deck too. Sorry.

Haha.. Long face but as long as it's in the Villa family.

First goal is so important tonight. If they get it,they'll sit back and look for a 1-0. If we get it they have to attack us and this will open up the game and hopefully give us more chances.

If only agent Ridgewell was still playing for them.

I feel sick with nerves about this one. I suppose I will have to get used to that feeling between now and the end of the season. I didn't realise they had injuries up front. That is one bonus.

Very fair and reasonable article that Dave.
You sure he's a Baggie?
