Southampton v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Monty]

Before the Everton match I was repeating 'it's only a game, it's only a game' over and over to myself in a calm-the-fuck-down tone of voice. I'm a lot less nervous now, though it could obviously all go tits up still.

When did Spurs last lose 3 on the bounce

Went to have my hair trimmed a few hours ago.
Steve the Barber is a Spuds fan, one customer was an Everton fan, the other a Liverpool fan.

For the first time in a long time I felt slightly superior.

They all thought we'd win on Saturday and be safe, no problem.

Isn't that a great feeling fmwmu? I remember watching Chelsea in a CL game a few days after we beat them and saying yeh we beat this lot the other day☺️

Did you ask for a short Jack and sides

I've just noticed that we aren't 'Magnificent' any more...

I think it's implied by the words 'Aston Villa'.

[Legion]

I'm a superstitious so-and-so.

[Legion]

More nervous now.

[Monty]

Personally, I always felt that the 'Magnificent' was tempting fate a little. We'll need to show humility before the gods if they're going to grant us much more of their favour in the next few weeks.

[Legion]

It's worked quite well so far.

[olaftab]

Anyway it's official now that we are safe. A colleague at work Coventry fan has paid the bet we had at the start of the season and I am £10 richer.

[Legion]

It isn't.

[Legion]

Can you really expect a Coventry fan to add up correctly?

Told him I'd be having a Grealish after the final, when he'd scored the winner!

Good job that it's a hairstyle that was "in" when I was knocking about down Summer Lane 50 years ago!

Short back and sides, and if the barber didn't take enough off my Mum would march me back to the barber's and demand her full ninepence worth!

On thread...we can do this!

Fu*k the fu*kers!
