Either you've fallen off the kitchen table or walked into the main road while typing into your phone.

I've gone for a draw.

It's only blues and we should beat them, but we generally get dragged down to their level. I don't expect anything different this time, but would love to be surprised.

Genuinely surprised they haven't sold out, if true. There's likely to be more than a few villa fans in home areas if that's the case.

1-1.

You just know that if they have 100 unsold tickets and for the return we have 200 at a ground that holds 12,000 more, they'll have a better crowd. 

[robbo1874]

sorry - double post.

Just do the job Villa.

[PeterWithe]

My pal is in the home end, I wouldn't do it, you are just bound to see someone you know.

[PeterWithesShin]

I think it's cute how excited they are about having a 'crowd' of approx 25K for a home game.

[PeterWithe]

Isn't it maxed at 23k ?

[PeterWithesShin]

There'll be a few dozen Villa in the home ends, same as there'll be a few dozen of them in the home ends at VP. Always is for derby games. And pretty much to a man, or woman, they won't say a peep regardless of what the score is. Which is a bit different to the thousands they always claim to have at VP singing away in the home ends, but no one ever sees.

[PeterWithesShin]

Isn't it maxed at 23k ?

For them, plus our 2K.

[robbo1874]

If they can't sell out against us, that's pretty piss poor. We'd fill a whole end if they would be allowed to sell us the tickets.

[PeterWithe]

I see.
