Southampton v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[LeeB]

Re Kozak, that can often happen when players have been out for a long time - the body sometimes takes a while to re-adjust to the old fitness training regimen.

Otherwise, it would be terrific to see Gardner in the team. Is he technically available for us? He's played so well, so these last two games seem like an ideal opportunity for him to try and take his Championship form into the Premier League.

Isn't he technically on loan till June?

Can't see TS bringing Gardner in yet Monty, unless he puts him on the bench.
He'll stick with the guys who have been doing the business for the last couple of months.
Win at Soton on Saturday and we might see a few changes v Burnley.

[PeterWithesShin]

Gardner can't play.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

That's that then, that is.

[Monty]

Ah dammit. Oh well, let's hope we see him next year - been excellent in the 'Carlos Sanchez' role for Forest.

I feel physically sick.

You need to pace yourself. At this stage you should ideally be limiting yourself to a vague sense of  apprehension. Fridays is dread with occasional spells of self-loathing, sleeplessness and torpor. Saturday starts bright with irrational euphoria before darkening to gloom, despair and anxiety.

Physically sick is for when we're hanging on for hull not to score at about five to five

Captures how I dread it working out, perfectly!

You are a Villa psychological genius damon!
Or just so used to it after years of suffering, you know exactly what's coming, worst case scenario....

UTV!

[PeterWithesShin]

We'll stay up and win the cup. Stop being such a bunch of big girls! 

[Legion]

Still nervous...

[silhillvilla]

I simply cannot see Hull winning at WHL

[Legion]

Why not? They are fighting for their PL survival.

Yeah, relegation candidates don't win at Spurs..... oh wait......

[olaftab]

Why not? They are fighting for their PL survival.

As they were in their last league game. They are shit and we know they are. They will lose 2-0.
