West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

Nervous about this - usually because I've become resigned to expecting defeat whenever we play you lot.

Depends which Albion turns up - losing Fletcher and Morrison will be massive blows for us as they instigate a lot of our forward play.

You need to win so I would hope you open up the game, allowing us to catch you on the break.

I'm not expecting a pretty football game - 1-0 either way.

Hopefully us.

Hey Liam. Feel the same about us How you feeling about Pulis these days? From a distance he seems to be making slow but steady progress.

Baggies fielded almost a 1st team against Bristol City~~ only Sad-O missing really.

Got injuries ~~ we ain't !

Them - 0
Us - 2 ~~~ one a penalty in the last 5 minutes which they owe us and a pitch invasion by the disabled spectators in their 3-Wheelers.

Cruel ~~ I know.

I don't understand the disabled reference?

Alf often throws in a non sequitur to keep us on our toes, WW.  He's a great man for the fonts as well.

Understanding is beyond those who are not prepared to embark on a post structuralist asymptomatic reading of the text.

Least said, soonest mended.

Berahino has barely played this season. He's very much not in their first team at the moment.

2 goals in last 2 games v us so he's got the knack of scoring even if it's just as sub.

Would imagine it will be Rondon, Sessegnon behind and then 8 defenders behind them sitting deep/.

And someone with a very long throw.

This could really kickstart our season, looking at the last two performances although improved the best we can hope for is a draw. I don;t think we'll get that. Comfortable 2-0 win for The Baggies.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Think we will win this one.

We've played worse teams and lost convincingly so...

No need for the disabled spectators reference at all

We've played a better team and won.
