Aston Villa v Norwich City Pre-Match Thread

I'm not sure that's how it works.

I'd hate Mila Kunis to scissor Kaley Cuoco in my living room, right not. It would be the worst.

Sadly as anticipated, I have no magical powers, so we're safe to do Norwich whether I predict it or not.

I can't see how anyone who was there the other night can be expecting a win. It was up there at the very top of the steaming pile that has been the last 5 years. If we do manage to get one I'd imagine it would be something similar to that Derby home win last season which we also came into with our confidence shattered.

I'm expecting a fairly horrible game with us ceding a decent amount of possession, but where it could go either way. As ever with villa the first goal is absolutely crucial. We've started well every game this season so hopefully we can bag one in the first ten minutes this time

But I'll be blissfully celebrating my son's first birthday and pretty happy I've got an excuse not to follow it closely

We are bottom of the league.....

I'll tell you what really pisses me off about that presser.
The badge on Bruces' shirt is fractionally bigger than those on the back boards, and, even worse, its on a slight angle. Get it sorted Villa.

Bizarre isn't it, I've been critical since Tuesday that he's got to go but listening to that I want to give him another chance .......... urgh unclean!

Two things out of that:

"didn't think it would get this difficult" - if anything he's made it more difficult for himself with his signings

"didn't think the pressure would come on this quick". - he's been since October.  Plenty of managers have had far less time than that.

well he's under some pressure today. We are bottom of the Chumps and this really is win or fuck off.

Win, lose or draw,  it's  curtains for you Brucey my dear.

Big day today Mr Bruce, good luck and you will have my support as always from the stands.

They have to come good, can't get worse can it?

[pooligan]

A hard fought 1-0 Villa win

Win, lose or draw,  it's  curtains for you Brucey my dear.

But it's not curtains if he wins today.

Bizarre comment.

He still get's my support as well but his after match comments of 'it's not god enough' will wear thin eventually if it continues.

A couple of things, should we get Gallacher and with Bruce's comments that we aren't ready to play with two up front  then will it mean pushing Kodjia to the left? We need a win today. I'd be ecstatic with a performance too but just get a win on the board and go from there please.

3 games in and I have already been drained of any enthusiasm for the game.
It really is a case of 'dragging my sorry ass'  down there out of habit rather than pleasure.

A couple of pints and a catch up with some mates, before the game  will no doubt be the highlight of the day.

[AV5nobs]

Seriously mate don't go of that's how you feel, social aspect aside.

One life.
