Southampton v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Monty]

I wouldn't be devestated if we came unstuck here.

Good runs invariably come to an end, and I'm not sure I'd want to go into the FA Cup Final on the back of four straight victories.

I'd feel much happier to start a new two match winning run after the Southampton match.

Weirdly, I sort of feel that too. However, maybe we could draw the next two matches - 'five unbeaten' sounds more realistic than 'five wins in a row'.

[Toronto Villa]

Solid 1-1 - Benteke back on the scoresheet, Pelle for them. Then end the season with a home win before our march to Wembley glory!

It's going to be an early start for this one!

If we score he first goal, we will win.

[pauliewalnuts]

A nice, slowly-played, thoroughly pleasant, see-the-season-out 1-1 draw, I think.

[fbriai]

Us, all the way.

They are already on the beach.

[Matt Collins]

Don't see us losing and wouldn't be upset with a good score draw.

Possibly bring gabby in for zoggy to exploit lack of pace at CB

[PeterWithesShin]

I hope we smash Saints and Burnley and roll into Wembley knowing what a good side we are.

Ronald's lot may lie down...see below:

[Des Little]

1-1.  Nick Holmes & Andy Comyn

[PaulWinch again]

I'd like a Villa win and then a Hull win with a Newcastle defeat.

[Hookeysmith]

A point will see us home then against Burnley I would imagine rest key players

Okore - lets see what the kid Donacian can do

Delph
Grealish
Westwood
Cleverly
Benteke
Gabby

Fuck it rest them all, let then have a week off anything - the cup means everything

[darren woolley]

1-1 Draw for me.

[edgysatsuma89]

2-2.

Grealish won't score until the final.

[fbriai]

Ronald's lot may lie down...see below:

Very good.

I particularly like 'due to their recklessly excellent disciplinary record'.

[Goldie.7]

Them 1 Us 1

If it ain't broke.....

In the meantime though:
