Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Pre-Match Thread

[not3bad]

Under Pressure?

Ashes to Ashes would be more suitable!

How about 'A new career in a new town' for most of the current squad!

I heard a rumour (probably false) that Randy would be over for this match.

If so "This is not America".

Given how things have been, Randy arriving at Villa Park just as Fox touches down at JFK would come as no surprise whatsoever.

Instead of yelling "Man On" tonight, "Watch that Man" should be used instead

...and when/if Villa do use, instead of hurling abuse, the crowd should politely exclaim "What in the World"



I still think that "Unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed" should be tonight's entrance music.

2 nil to Palace - Dave Swindlehurst and Vince Hilaire

[exiled on the wirral!]

Clinging onto the notion that Villa will always surprise you when you least expect it..2-1 Villa

And it's just started pissing down. Splendid.

On paper Palace really aren't that good, if we bust a gut the fact we are at home means this should be a close game.

Would love to see Ricardo Calder given a chance tonight , he´s a big lad , very fast, inventive  and direct. Impressed in pre season ( from the games I watched ) and also upon loan in
Dundee .
Jordan Lyden must also surely be in line for a game.......Godzvilla!
p.s...´Garde la Victoire´ won the 3pm at Ludlow this afternoon.....hopefully an omen.

In Staffs the rain is coming down in torrents. Micah is going to need an umbrella if he is going to converse at length with The Trinity front rows.

reckon the weather might affect the gum-spitting tournament?

Picked up 2 tickets for 30 on Seatwave (including their commission) for this in Trinity Upper.

Bargains to be had galore - unsurprisingly.

Palace fans are honking about Clattenberg being in charge for tonight as they have never won a game with him refing in the prem.

so maybe we can smash another myth

[DesBremner]

Crystal Palace are in town and 73% are predicting a loss
Never in my lifetime has the thought of Crystal bloody Palace being better than us ever entered my head

How much worse can it get   (rhetorical question)

[PeterWithesShin]

Heavy rain predicted for the rest of the day. I can see there being some errors tonight, probably more by us.

Is there a thread to watch this game on the computer ?
