Champions of Europe Leeds United v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[cheltenhamlion]

Win this and I might just start to really believe.

That's the way I feel. Can't see it happening, but I would dearly love us to fuck these fucking fuckers for a whole raft of reasons.

Believe Jimbo. I think we will slaughter them on the break and win by 2 or 3.

Believe in what though, Santy?

                         Gollini

      Hutton Baker Chester Amavi

                        Jedinak

              Gardner.        Westy

  Adomah    Kodjia         Grealish

Providing Baker is fit I have this  team.

Robert green is goalie for Leeds hes not exactly solid . 1-3 Villa

[wittonwarrior]

Couldnt get tickets in the away end so ill be sat with the home crowd unfortunately. Dont think I could be sat with a worse group of fans

All the best, I went special ops in there end once never again. Give nods and grunts, don't speak to anyone and sit by an exit.

et sec

not really looking forward to the date but hey ho - just don't lose Villa

[QuintonVilla]

"Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that"
"Have you won the European Cup?"
Etc etc

Changed my mind on the score, I thought we'd draw 1-1 but I fancy us for some reason. 1-3, Kodjia to run riot.

I, for one, am gutted that a team whose entire success was founded on borderline-criminality, intimidation and sheer dirty bastardness, came unstuck in the biggest game in their history.

[Lastfootstamper]

Baker's unavailability will cost us. We'll definitely concede without him.

4-1 us.

Ftf.

[villabear]

The team is getting better each game. The funny thing is I don't think we've played that well yet under the new management.

How refreshing it is now to look forward to each game with optimism thinking "we've got a chance today"

Kodija, Adomah, Jedinak means we've got a few tidy players for the opposition to worry about although today I think Baker not playing could be a big miss for us and I didn't think I'd be saying that a year ago.

I'd settle for a draw but I think we might nick it 1-2.

Had a dream last night we lost 5-2.

Mind you we were still top of the league afterwards, so draw your own conclusions.

Went to a LCup? match one night with a lad from work whose mate couldn't go so I had his ticket. Sat behind the goal and Ian Taylor scored right in front of us.  Of course they all jumped up making gestures towards him and calling him all the black b*******ds under the sun whilst none of them (except my mate) realised I was jumping up with my arms in the air in celebration. It was definitely a "sit on your hands and keep your mouth shut" job in there.

FTF!
Having said that, I don't have particularly high hopes for this one. 3-1.

[Gregorys Boy]

If we can get a draw at their place and win the home game at the end of month then that will be good going.  1-1.  Rudy to get ours.

Much as I have trouble saying it, GA could be key, this being an away game. keeping them busy at the back or even a breakaway goal?
It's a long time overdue, a little bit of pay-back.

That might be the case if we were taking about the Gabby of 2008 and not 2016.
