Aston Villa v Sheffield Wednesday - Pre match thread

[robbo1874]

How quick defence, or midfield possession is turned into a Villa attack. Phenomenal. Even just watching the highlights above, that Wednesday side from back then would batter our current side into oblivion, waddle and warhurst would tear us a new one.

1-3 defeat.

Villa are back hello hello.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Villa 2 Wednesday 0

Ideally with their band turned away at the gate

I was at Hillsborough earlier this season and they have no band because the fans thought they were annoying, so they got rid of them. They do, however, have an annoying drummer.

[Richard E]

1-1

Gone for a draw too mate- 1-1, same as you.

And a draw from me, wasn't expecting much from Tuesday and don't expect much from tomorrow.

They also had David Hirst back then, who had it not been for a number of pretty serious injuries, would have been one of the top strikers around at that time.

Big test for us tomorrow.

A few of these wouldn't go amiss

What's that sport they're playing, then?

Fergie tried to sign him a few times for Man United I seem to remember?

We were another level then. If that team played any of our teams over the last 6 years it would look like a cub's dad v lads game.

Well, certainly, considering that the majority of that early 90s team must be in their late 40s / early 50s now ... ;-)

I just want to walk towards Villa park with a sense of optimism and its been a long time since I've done that.

Sadly no walk of optimism tomorrow either, a draw at best.

You can always go online to www.mearnsfm.org.uk for coverage of the game brought to you from the H&V match thread content. The music is ace, the presenter's an amateur and the dead air lasts forever. Community radio at it's best/worst.

I'll be missing this game as I too am going to Coleshill Towns FA Vase Semi-Final, which is a shame because I have just found out that a good friend of mine is linesman at Villa Park (Derek Eaton)

We need you there on his side of the pitch!

I know! My wife and daughter know who to look out for though

[The Edge]

I'm going for 1-1 to the villa
