Blackburn Rovers v Aston Villa first 11 fans into the ground Pre-Match Thread

Yes, I know Kirk Douglas is alive.  Just a gentle bit of fun to acknowledge my memory lapse about the Emeritus Professor of Physics at Gonville and Caius.

I also admit to exaggeration for effect regarding Ivor Powell., I know he was not 99 when he managed Rhyl.  Just very old.

To state the bleeding obvious, I only want to lose this if the Blues are losing their game.  If they are beating Huddersfield then I don't see the point in turning up to shout for a loss.  That said, we are not playing well, Blackburn are scrapping for their lives, cue the, we wanted to lose anyway excuses from the players.

I would never cheer for the other team. Never.

I couldn't care less about Small Heath and their predicament.

Due to their GD, Huddersfield need 2pts to secure a play off spot so I can't see them leaving it to the final game of the season...a win against Blose and they will have secured their playoff spot. I can't see Blose getting any kind of result against Huddersfield, so it comes down to what we do against Blackburn and then if Blose can get a better result than Blackburn (and may be Forest) on the last day of the season.

Needs a bit of tweaking:

So the team so far

Bannan

The McGregor statue
Richards
Elphick
Legion

Topless Lad from yesterday
other lad from yesterday
Mad turnstile operator woman in the North Stand
My 7 year-old

Cam
Wolfie

Can we fill in the blanks to make sure we pick a team fit for the game and the occasion?

I like the look of that team apart from Richards and Elphick, they would be an embarrassment to the shirt.

My son could play, he plays wide right midfield, good eye for a pass and has a few tricks up his sleeve. His mate could come along who plays in his team, he tends to either not maker any runs or blasts any chances hopelessly high and wide.

[Chico Hamilton III]

I would never cheer for the other team. Never.

Nor me. But I would be very very happy, knowing that Blues fans will be fucking gutted when Blackburn beat us. Not often we get the chance to hammer 2 nails into their coffin in 1 week. Does that make me "small time"? Who cares

Huddersfield play Wolves tomorrow so they may have play offs sewn up by the time they play Blues.

Your sons mate sounds ok but Tonev has agreed to play.

You could play too Chris, throw the kitchen sink at it. Or did the kitchen sink go too?

[Mossie Hennebry]

Also still alive.

Jesus. That is funny.

[KRS]

Bugger. Shows how little attention I pay to the top of the table to notice they've got a game in hand vs Wolves...the one shred of consolation is that Huddersfield may still want to finish as high as possible as they will be in with a good chance of finishing 3rd if they beat Wolves.

Gonville and Caius?
That's the midfield sorted.

[Skerra]

The way we've been playing, I think to make 100% sure that we lose, just field our strongest starting eleven!!!

[gnrpoison]

I think we should play De Last at RB, only way he can get match fit is if he plays. Also get a few of the Villa ladies on the subs bench, for equality and all that.
