Aston Villa vs Birmingham City Pre-Match Thread

[Lambert and Payne]

It's a game we can't really win, like having a fight with a child. If we lose, though, it's fucking embarrassing and bad for our self esteem.

I love beating these, the 5 1 game, the gabby last minute goals, the cahill overhead kick, the milner penalty. They're all great memories for me and I'd say 90% of the Villa fans enjoyed those moments greatly. Never understood how people say its a no win situation

[Lambert and Payne]

Let's not get our knickers wet.They never play up at VP most of them will come by coach and they will lucky to get 2,000 tickets.
As for on the pitch the team should be too good for them.

Unless the police step in we have to give them a minimum of 10%, so 4,200. 

I should imagine they'll get the whole of the North Stand

I disagree, virtually every nose I know makes it their game of the season and they try to give it the big un but a defeat in their world cup final hurts them hard. Imagine having your sole reason for existing swatting you aside, it hurts. We should be well up and running by then, i'm looking forwards to giving them one.

Bring em on. They're getting a bit uppity again. Time for them to have a bloody nose. Grealish to tear them apart.

Just done some quick maths and there were  more empty seats tonight at Villa Park tonight than at the club who carries the city's name proving them in some tiny way to be the kings of the Midlands in someone's tiny mind no doubt.

Well that must have been a photo finish if they had 9k in their hovel tonight!

We are the knuckdraggers' every flickering dim-witted half-thought, their every vomit-tinged breath, their every embittered emotion. They will be coming to Villa Park to see the team that validates their existence. Win or lose on the pitch, this is their oxygen. They need us.

We don't need them in any conceivable way. We just have to eliminate them, but there's no glory in stamping on a cockroach.

How many tickets did we get at the shit tip last time was it 1600?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

How the fuck can they "get a bit uppity". They're Birmingham Fucking City, FFS or have you forgotten?

Was about 4K in the LC iirc.

I'm remembering a half empty away section not far past the hour the last time they played us at Villa Park, their tiny Villa obsessed minds completely be-daddled by seeing their one aim for the season go up in smoke and I love us doing that to them. We've won 6 of the last 9. They will be absolutely desperate to get something.

Wasn't it 0-0 last time at VP? Only memorable for Bannan going for a header against Vidic and the crowd laughter being the loudest thing of the day?

Who are the 10% of Villa fans that you think didn't enjoy them?

I've erased most of that season from my memory it seems, actually most of the last 5 years.
