Aston Villa v QPR Pre-Match thread

I will take a routine 3-0 win. Its bloody villa though so no doubt we will balls it up and let them score. 3-1.


More seriously, I am terrified.

I feel physically sick.

Evening all, I'm going to try to follow the game later, I'm in Chang Mai in Thailand struggling with the worst case of food poisoning I've ever experienced and the GMT-6hrs time difference. If anyone could help me out with the proxy site for listening to bbc radio from abroad that would be a massive help. Cheers

The Guardian's Fiver doesn't mention tonight's game at all. Their featured game tonight is the Italian Cup. For shame.

I've been feeling nervous about this all day as well.  The stakes are really high, especially with the rest of the games this month being so tough.  If we can win I reckon we'll still be outside the relegation places come the start of May which will hopefully be a big psychological boost.

I've got a thumping head ache and having palpitations.

Massive game but I think we can nick it, QPR will have lots of confidence after stuffing those Tesco bags but I think we will do them 2-1.

The first time I saw QPR at Villa if I remember right was a league cup semifinal when Sir Brian Little scored a hatrick, would love one from Benteke tonight.

its 3 hours ahead here in Abu Dhabi. Shit first half and Austin has looked dangerous. They scored on 26 mins when we didn't pick up Austin from a lump up to Zamora. Gabby on 44 mins with a break away goal. 1-1 at half-time. Need to buck our ideas up for the second half.

If we hoof it up to Benteke we'll get nothing. Play it on the floor and we'll rip them a new one, especially down the right. I'd even be tempted to give Mr Cul-de-Sac a game and see if he can take advantage of a weak, slow defence. I just hope Sherwood finally finds some balance in midfield. Start solid and he can go gung-ho once we're two up.

4-0 Villa (Gil x 3; Benteke)

Hard spirits I'd imagine are order of the day.

1-3 them. I have a really terrible feeling about tonight, and Sherwood getting egg on his face against his mate.

Lineside fire at Butlers Lane causing a few problems on the cross city line. Set out a bit earlier or re-think transport.

Aston Villa, Aston Villa, Aston Villa that's who, Aston Villa, Aston Villa, Aston Villa that's who! 

4-0 let's fuck the fuckers.
