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

[sali,salifou]

It's only just dawned  on me that we've got a derby game at home on 3/3. As I wasn't feeling sick enough before.

[DeKuip]

I see we have 30,000 due for tonight, and 40,000 due for the weekend. I think we need it to be the other way around to be honest!!!

Cheaper prices Saturday, plus the incentive of qualifying for a Wembley ticket if we get there, so I'm not surprised. Had we been away in the cup, or out, I'm sure tonight's gate would have been bigger.

[darren woolley]

I'm going to be positive and say we will get a 2-1 win.

I noticed that this morning, it was if I'd caught a glimpse of the grim reaper.

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

A proper, old-school gent and a true football supporter.

Nothing personal then, obviously, but I hope he's really miserable by the end of the week

And they can bring another 4,000 on Saturday.

Looking forward to tonight. Drink in town before the game with good company, then off to the finest ground in the land, smash our wannabe rivals and see our revival begin before getting to Wembley on Saturday.

As the oul fella used to say 'Eff em, They never came to see me when I was bad'

What is this with Sherwood saying 'This is an important game for us'  What is with this US business? The cleaners don't know who he is yet!

[silhillvilla]

Is it too soon for his Bolton moment

[Des Little]

It's business time.  Don't fail us you bastards

[Jon Crofts]

Fuck 'em up.  Get into 'em.  3-1 Villa.

[Chris Jameson]

1-0 to Villa. Agbonlahor shins one in and celebrate with his finger over his mouth as he feels he's answered his critics.

If he does that and we win he can do the full messiah pose in the center circle and I will gladly applaud him.

I feel a bit ill.
