The Famous Aston Villa vs Everton Pre-Match Thread

Hope we can win but i think it will  be a draw 1-1

Has anyone found the obligatory post about how sad we all are from an Everton fan yet?

My Everton supporting mates continually bang on about how poor numerically our away support is in comparison to theirs and how many fans they will have in the home sections tomorrow.
I have always found both home and away they are very quiet and have never understood the media obsession with the Goodison atmosphere in particular.

The support at Goodison, apart from the local derby of course,  only seems to come alive when they think they have been wronged. Then it can be quite intimidating. 

Which is about every 5 minutes with them.

It suddenly sunk in this morning that we could be in the bottom 3 tonight, and now I'm bricking it.

Lawro reckons we'll win, Bill Wyman reckons we'll lose.

So am I. We could also, however, be five points away from the relegation zone with three games left to play. That would be nice.

Yes, that sounds much nicer. Let's go with that.

I'm confident with the team giving 110% and our backing we will achieve the right result.

We'll be good, they won't cope, we shall win.
4-1, Benteke (2), Delph, Hutton, van den Hauwe for them.

Leicester being the early game if they win that can heap further pressure on too as we will drop beneath them . Equally if we then win we go above Newcastle

First time post. Age 53 (going on 35) with claret & blue blood coursing through my veins. Will be making the pilgrimage to Villa Park tomorrow to exercise my vocal chords for the first time since pummelling Sunderland 6-1 due to a stint overseas & “domestic restrictions”  (she's gone now so hope to be there more often !)  Will be sitting in the Holte roughly where I stood as a lad for many years - can't wait !  Expecting a 2-0 win after a nervy start. Unfortunately I'll be going on my own so just wondered if any of you fine upstanding gents (or ladies?) can recommend a good place with a bit of friendly banter for a pre-match aperitiff ? Just to settle the nerves !

Thanks all for the replies & recommendations. Looking forward to the game & sure we'll all be breathing a bit easier at 5pm ! UTV

Have a good day Mr Steadfast!

Sacred Heart for me....I'll need a few just to calm the nerves!!

They do have a fantastic range of songs though, you have to hand that to them...

Ev-er-ton, Ev-er-ton, Ev-er-ton...Ev-er-ton, Ev-er-ton, Ev-er-ton, EV-ER-TON

I was going to say the same, I'm forever hearing about how wonderful the Everton support are but that's all I ever hear and the sound of them booing their own players when they are having a poor spell of form.

will he stay with Guzan or change to Given, anyone got any clues yet ?

Always interesting to hear the opposition's point of view:

Come on Villa, stuff 'em.

I was unaware that Bluescousers were the centre of the university with regards to fashion. 3,000 middle aged men in grey cotton trackie bottoms might be in fashion one day though, you never know.
