Aston Villa v Swansea - Pre Match Thread..."Oh, the humanity"

[cdward]

It will be interesting to see who is sitting next to Tom Fox during the game.

Mr and Mrs Ayew checking on their sons, Tom Fox gets talking to Mr Ayew, and immediately adds him to a shortlist,.

Double post

[AVH87]

1-1 draw. I hope it's not seen as a good result by the board, and that Sherwood gets sacked afterwards.

0-0 Turgid

2 teams low on confidence.

Gestede needs be on the bench until the last 20-25 minutes, if it isnt working.

And give Guzan a few pointers about looking up at the pitch before deciding who to give the ball to, and cover your lines quick, incase the best option is going to fall over/ not control the ball etc

I've always liked Guzan, apart from when he first replaced Brad1 - but my advice is
If in doubt - tonk it - left footed as far as it will go

I like Guzan, he's great on his day ( <insert here which day that was>) but a keeper has no where to hide, so yes, if in doubt hit it a fat one up the pitch - but make sure it doesnt get re-tonked into your net that you might have left unguarded....

I have no idea what team we'll put out and sadly my guess would be the same would go for Sherwood at this point in time

We'll probably play okay first half, gift them a goal at the start of the second and subsequently lose all confidence before Swansea run out comfortable winners

0-3

[Chris Jameson]

1-0 win. Westwood direct from a corner.

Immediately after the game Sherwood is awarded a new five year contract and Westwood continues to take every single corner during the five years.

Not totally sure how Ayew is pronounced but up to now when I saw his name I immediately thought about the advert "That'll be the Daewoo", however today for some unknown reason that didn't happen and instead I sung in my head "Hey You, the rocksteady crew, show them what you do, make a break, make a move"

Taking my 4 year old boy to the game for his very first match. Poor sod I just hope it don't put him off for life.
1-1

[Rudy Can't Fail]

My first game at VP since Spurs last season and more importantly mine and the better halfs first day out together without the kids in flipping months. Win, lose or draw I will be having a great day. I actually think we will win, by the odd goal. 2-1 with a late winner from Richards.

Have a great day.

I too think it will be a 2-1 Villa win. Good shout on Richards too, it's about time he started knocking one or two in.

I have this image of him banging in a last minute winner and going ape-shit mental in front of the Holte now in my optomist part of my brain.

It's a better image of the 1-0 defeat that the logical part of my brain has

[Oscar Arce]

Draw all over it. 1-1 and positive spin from Sherwood. Aaa argh.

I normally drink on the Lichfield road side of the ground after the game but it seems the pubs are either closed or its tickets only to get in. Any advice peeps would be great. UTV.

Take her to The Bartons. You get a nice meal out of it as well.

2-1 them with both their goals coming in the last 20 minutes.
