Aston Villa (R) v Newcastle Utd (possibly R) - Pre Match Thread

[Richard E]

Looking forward to the atmosphere tomorrow, should be a laugh. Let's go out with a bang.

"And now you're gonna believe us, we're going on the pitch..."

Why?

Perhaps he's one of our players.

In that case, why?

Leaving home for the game.  See you in the Barton's.  I am the one standing next to Damon.

You're doing yourself down there Brian. He might be a TV superstar but he's still your boy. Therefore, its Damon who will be standing next to you.

[PaulWinch again]

How about try and win the game to Eric.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

I actually think Sunderland would be more of a threat to us in the championship than Newcastle. Big Sam got West Ham promoted at the first attempt. Let's bring the deluded Geordies with us.

My first appearance since the Watford game, I would dearly love us to avoid a 12th successive defeat but I've no doubt this team will give us yet another unwanted club record, my son and I are going to do our best to enjoy the game and maybe a more lighter atmosphere once the march has been completed.  UTV

Ooops, my first appearance since the Watford home game

I agree. Rafa would be gone quicker than you could tweet a Black series AMG Mercedes if they went down.
They'd have to offload a chunk of their better players to get the wages off the books if, as widely reported, they really haven't got relegation clauses in their contracts. They'd have to get get rid of Shelvey to get his wages off the books too.

I know they managed to come straight back up last time, but I don't think that they'll be able to keep that squad together like they did last time, unless Ashley, who's seen over a £1 billion written off his net wealth in the last 12 months, is prepared to underwrite a gamble that could end up costing him a couple of hundred million if he has to sub their wages and then sell them 12 months later for considerably less than he'd get in June or July.

I shall be arriving at The Bartons in T minus 30 seconds.

Rumours that Small Heath are flying a plane and banner over VP at 3.15.

How very 2012.

[Lizz]

On my way. Home win. No harm in dreaming.

[Chris Smith]

Just getting ready to leave. I have tried pencils up the nose and saying 'a word that rhymes with scribble and begins in w but which the self righteous word filter deletes' but to no avail.
