Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Pre match thread

[simboy]

Don't recall any jitters at Arsenal in the penultimate game. The concourse could be heard a mile away pre-game and was absolutely rocking at the prospect of the Noses dropping.  "Going up/going down" went on for a good half an hour.

2-1 a Bent double. I picked up a very tidy little sum that day from Bill Hill!

I don't remember the mood to be bad at all in the away end, in fact a lot of optimism for the next season and the rejoicing at the demise of the rags. Thoughts that we had "turned a corner". [We had of course, to be faced with the descent to watching one of the worst Villa teams i can remember]

I remember the comment that Houlier acted more like a business consultant than our manager.
The job seemed just a little bit beneath him because we were not Liverpool.

Yep, I agree. He was a bellend.

Houllier lost me and many others at that Liverpool game. We barely managed a shot on goal but he stood gazing at The Kop and said "If I have to lose 3-0 I'm glad it was against Liverpool".

When we play on Saturday it will be 545 days since we won a game on TV.

Apart from the cup games we've won on TV?

Read it on Twitter and worked it out to be the Liverpool semi. Forgot the Small Heath game

Just had an e-mail from Villa about getting tickets for Saturday and welcoming our new manager 'we're expecting big crowds at this weekend's game against local rivals Wolves.'

Not sure why they are expecting big crowds, at £35+ for tickets in most of the vacant areas and live on TV I can see it being like the Forest game and scraping just over 30k.

AVFC Support on Twitter who are giving out figures for away sales etc have said the crowd is looking like it will be between 34k-35k.

3-0 win for us. Second goal will be a freak goal from a throw in. Robbie Savage will get headbutted at one point.

Good news if so, maybe that's based on a lot of last minute sales expected now we've got a manager? As there's a lot of green availability on the website and the stadium only holds roughly 37k this season.

Got a good feeling about things now we've got the right sort of man in charge - looking forward to a tremendous atmosphere - 2-1 Villa.

5-2

Gonna fuck the fuckers!
