Already asked by someone else but any idea on how many Villa fans are there? Griffin park only holds 12,000 or so.

1,050 standing
550 seats

So, what are Vila getting in Hourihane?

"Possibly the best player in the championship!"

Fucking love it

I was looking forward to this match but I've just spotted Hutton in the tunnel.

Hope the midfield gel as I can't remember us playing with a midfield for years. Other clubs have used midfield to good effect but we decided some years ago that it wasn't necessary. ....and look where that got us.

Other players have now got to lift their game.

True. And it coincided with the decision to do away with using the wings. Football is a simple game. But not simple enough for Lerner, Lambert, Sherwood, Garde nor Black.
