Shitting myself about Tuesday's game. That bottling, pathetic performance by that bunch of pussies on Saturday has left me with no belief they have the stomach and fight for the game.

I'm beginning to think we already have.

me too

what i find most worrying is the fact he couldnt motivate for the cup final and yesterday was one of the most cant really be arsed performances ive seen in a local derby that i can remember

[Richard]

And yet look how well he motivated us for the two west Brom games in March as well as the semi final......hard to fathom the massive difference compared to yesterday

From 20th September 2011:

A message to Aston Villa:

"We know that some of you look at these threads so pass the message on to those that don't. We the supporters don't care if you have a beef with the manager or you don't like the training methods or you wish to be somewhere else. You are living our dream, to be paid huge incomes to play football for the team we love. Villa is our passion and when we see you lot just going through the motions seemingly without any desire to represent the shirt it really pisses us off. This is the same squad, less two, that took it to the top teams in the premiership last year so there is no excuse for the dismal displays we've been watching over the last few weeks. Next time you run onto the Villa Park pitch have a look around the ground. Every single Villa supporter wishes he or she was you, you are our players. The very least we expect is a total committment to the club and its supporters." (c) ROBBO on H&V December 2010 with a couple of minor tweaks.

Plus teams have off days. Better sides than us have failed to turn up for a game.

*clutches at straws*

So im guessing that this will become the pre-match thread.

Half of me can't wait, the other half is dreading it.

2-1 us after a long night of extra time, a vile atmosphere, at least 1 pitch invasion and a 'nite of shame' headlines all over the Wednesday morning papers.

i think we allready know mate.

[PaulTheVillan]

Get ready for going 2-0 down in 15 minutes.

[Des Little]

First goal will be the key on Tuesday. If we get it we can dictate the play and our ability should see us win. Concede first and I think we could well struggle.
