Aston Villa vs Birmingham City Pre-Match Thread

[Savospit]

If you lose are we going to see you again savospit? Also, do you normally call the Shit 'blues' or do you have any other fun terminology for them? As you say it's a villa forum so you can share your funny names for The Shit with us.

I think its funny we call them Small Heath

[peter w]

Ha ha yes. And what swear word would you set aside for them? Say we lose what expletive name would you use? Also-  tell us what you think of Trevor Francis (as you know we only reserve a certain name for him - what name would that be?)

[amfy]

I was watching Sherwood being interviewed and he was asked if the new players know how big a game it is.  He said yeah, we've been telling them.  Have they thought about putting some of the old games on telly for them and letting them see how intense it is on and off the pitch?  Surely the sight of Dion bopping Savage and King Olof striding majestically off the pitch should get them wound up.

I dare say I'll be wide awake at 3am when this is on - we should have more than enough to smash them.  Provided we turn up of course - which unfortunately we don't seem to be doing very often...

But I'll go for 2.1 home win.  Stay off the pitch please boys and girls.

..............and no doubt there will be some strange smaller derby - like Mansfield - Chesterfield or something - that is more hate

I wonder if TS ever played for Blackburn against Burnley? Believe it or not, that is a seriously evil derby..

Can somebody ban the tedious bollock necklace wearer? Or at least call HMP Birmingham and get them to turn their wifi off.

I wish that when Small Heath Alliance sent over their infiltrators they would send one of the funny ones. This one's a bore. I think I'd even prefer one of their gif happy idiots.

Tricky Trev.

Think I'd get Clark in midfield tonight and definitely Hutton at RB. I'd also play Kozak.

[boboonthecorner]

This game has come far too soon for this team. An unwanted morale destroying 1-2. Didnt see any of the Baggies game but there was some very encouraging play v Leicester. Unfortunately our defending at the moment appears to be even more fragile than Lamberts tenure.

He didn't. They didn't meet (in a competitive game anyway) between 1983 and 2000.

Bit of a cnut ain't he?

[Clark W Griswold]

Apparently he's talking about 3 at the back with wing backs to get more out of Gestede. Some of us have been talking about that on here for several weeks and I'm starting to like the idea more and more. Especially the way results have been going playing the way he has. The question mark was over fitting Grealish and Traore into that system as wingers but I think I'd play Traore up front with Gestede and Grealish in behind. I'd then have Gana and Sanchez as the holding players behind Grealish, with Bacuna and Amavi wing backs. I think they'd be awesome.

[silhillvilla]

--------- Guzan ----------
Hutton Richards lescott Richardson

------Clark ------ Sanchez -----

Sinclair ---------------- Grealish

------Gabby --- Kozak------

[john e]

if we lose tonight we should have a poll as to what word will be used the most in the post match thread
my nominations would be -

Chancer
Sleepwalking
Low
Championship

I feel sick. Can't eat. Stomach's churning.  It's going to be a long day in work.
