Aston Villa vs Birmingham City Pre-Match Thread

I think in any other circumstances going out of the League Cup early would not be regarded as a disaster, but this is against "that lot" and I reckon the result of this game will have a big impact on our immediate future.   There's already quite a bit of discontentment towards Tim and losing tomorrow will devastate the players ahead of what's now an important game at Anfield - for me it's a game we MUST win.

Just glad up here in Stafford I won't have many (if any) of the clowns jumping and down if the worst happens.  I was working in the City Centre through most of the 1970s and as somebody mentioned earlier that period 76-78 when they beat us 5 times in a row was a nightmare time to work with any noses.

Riding the Cross City line from Bournville to New Street there was some graffitti on a wall as you approached Selly Oak Station ...
 It read " Five in a row ha ha ha " Made my blood boil each time I saw it

I went to all 5 games and remember them as though they were played last week, I also regularly had to endure the chant of "three - two,  two - one,  two - one,  one - nil" (and after February 1978 they added another "one - nil.  The annoying thing was in the two seasons they did the double over us 76-77 and 77-78 we finished 4th and 8th (I think) respectively, while they just about avoided relegation and yet they considered they'd had better seasons than us - strange or what ??

ffs,

how can you get upset at the selectivity of bolox like that, our record against them c***s will not be over turned in our life time,

them retards and I'm talking about the actual club now not the fans, don't recognise any results against us before I think 1935, btw we are still streets ahead, even to their deluded reckoning,

small heath small time

How many times in a row did we beat them under O'Neill.  Was it six?

If we do, I'd put deep heat in his jock strap and get him at it.  He looked decidedly half arsed on Saturday and he'll need the devil in him if he plays tomorrow.

If my memory serves me correctly we beat them 6 times in a row under O'Leary and O'Neill
(2005-2010) they'll probably say it doesn't count as they were relegated twice in that time and because we had two O'Somethings in charge.

Just worked out that this will be my 14th blues derby, my previous record is 5-4-4..
My OCD side says they're gonna win to make it 5-4-5 :-/

[Damo70]

Losing tomorrow simply is not an option.

That sums it up perfectly for me. I also suspect Sherwood is very well aware of it.

[conman]

She's alright tbh, then again Karen Brady was my guilty pleasure growing up and I didn't even feel that guilty about it.

Just for you.

Don't know about Gabby, but Geoff Horsfield knew the size of it!!

[Jockey Randall]

Looking at the stats on whoscored so far they're the worst team in the Championship at keeping the ball and there's also a potential weakness in the air. Seems like they take the chances that come their way though. Hopefully we can probe and gradually pull their defence apart by moving the ball a lot quicker than Saturday, get it wide, gets decent crosses into Gestede, jobs a goodun.

Is that one of those picture quizzes where you have to guess the two celebrities merged into one picture? I'm going for Karen Brady and Meat Loaf.

[Des Little]

I'll go White Dee and Barry Austen.
