Our Heroes v Derby County Pre-Match Thread

[The Edge]

0-0 in a game of mind numbing shittyness and with 3 minutes to go. The Holte End singing "we'll win again don't know where don't know when but I know we'll win again some sunny day" Up will pop Hourihane with a worldy free kick and we will win 1 fucking nil. I just know it.

[russon]

didn't Cantscorino make his debut against Derby? was that the day we were taking the mick out of Shilton for his dalliance with a woman called Tina?

[cheltenhamlion]

I am still trying to make up my mind as to whether I can be arsed to attend.

[AV82EC]

I'm going 1-1

[Deano's Mullet]

I'm going

2-1 Derby

[N'ZMAV]

All that money we've spent trying to sign a goalscorer and our £18million forward is bound to score against us.

I had a look at a Derby forum and the comments made me smile. There's more that unites football fans than divides us, a shared terminal pessimism;

Villa have splashed the cash on footballs version of the Harlem globetrotters. Sooner or later they will gel and give somebody a tonking.

When a team is on a terrible run it is often Derby that sorts it out for them. Villa 3 - Derby 0.

Villa going through a tough time so throw in the sacrificial Lamb.

Villa win 2 or 3 nil sorry to say

Villa 2 Derby 0.

Genuinely can't see where our next win will come from.

Most seem to think we will win 2-0.

[frank black]

About time we battered someone. 4-1

[amfy]

Better?

Certainly not in the home game. Platt scored iirc. Not sure Shilton was still playing then or that we signed cascarino until the latter part of the season

0-1 We're reducing our deficit. We haven't gelled yet.

It was Cascarinos debut.  The save Shilton made from his header is high up that seasons What If list.

Ormondroyd scored in that game.

I work with a few Derby fans and they're even more doom and gloom than we are. They all thinking pretty much the same, easy Villa win.

I thought the one where we were giving Shilton major grief about Tina was the 2-1 away defeat the previous season.
