Aston Villa vs Liverpool pre match thread

[Quiet Lion]

I'll be looking for a bar in Key West that's screening this; it'll be the first home game I've missed since 2007.

Found a place Miami beach to watch it. Not that that helps you mind

Key West you say!

Sorry I thought you said screaming

Come on you Villa boys. Win this and the belief will be there in abundance.

So that will be a resounding "THUD" we'll hear if the result is the other way?

[McGraths Dry Cleaning]

Only my fourth trip to VP this season but appropriate to visit my oldest love on Valentine's Day. I've got to say since we first met in the late 70's she's let herself go a bit.

Taking my almost 5 year old to his third game and this will fill me with joy no matter what but you do feel if we get something then this could be the start of some momentum.

[auntiesledd]

I honestly don't know why I think this - but I've gone for a Villa win! We'll come from behind after Sturridge opens the scoring early-doors, but has to go off after one of his arms flies off during his crap celebration thing.

A Bacunu miss-hit cross & a tap in by Flabby for the good guys. Oh, & crazy celebratory scenes at VP. obviously.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Anything less than 3 points tomorrow and it's safe to say we are down. I just can't see how we could make up the difference. The only real point of discussion will be who will join us and Norwich.

As much as I want us to win I can't see it happening.

0-0.

[wince]

sunderland done what we cant, beat united on home soil. Must get something tomorrow to keep the pace

[aj2k77]

A win and we are back in the mix. 5 pts isn't that insurmountable. We have to go for it.

You can get 8/1 against that prediction, Rudy.

I believe both teams will score, and it is probable that they will score more than us. The fans will be well up for it though, so it should be a lively encounter.

It is going to be freezing cold with a North North Easterly gusting at 27 mph. Holte Enders will be getting the full benefit directly up the fundament.

[Toronto Villa]

We simply have to want this more tomorrow. There's nothing daunting about Liverpool. We have to want to win more than them.

[pooligan]

I am hoping the Bin Dippers may have one eye on the Europa Cup and League Cup final so i will go for a 1-1 draw

[PeterWithesShin]

To have any chance we need 4 points from this and Stoke away. This currently seems the easier to win. Although i've done Stoke away twice since they came back and both games are our only wins there, i'm going again this season!

[Toronto Villa]

Stoke are an odd team. Battered last week against Everton at home, they go and win comfortably at Bournemouth with 10 men. Hard to know what Stoke we'll play against.

[Mellin]

So the gap is going to remain 8 points at the end of play today. We simply have to win tomorrow.
