Wolves v Aston Villa Pre-Match thread

[Richard]

Will we join together to sing shit on the City/Albion I wonder 😎

Some clown on Villa Talk thinks Lambert is still their boss

1-1 I reckon although Wolves fan at work thinks 3-0 to them the joker

New ground. Birthday weekend.
What could possibly go wrong?

[Matt Collins]

A fifth win on the slap, and an away win at that? Against the second team in the league? In a derby? On telly? Hmmm. Doesn't sound very Villa, does it?

If we win I'll consider that corner well and truly turned. I just can't see it, though. 2:0 to the dogheads. 

Might be wrong but I don't think we've lost to Wolves in a televised game. 

Not for a whole year

[Lambert and Payne]

If we go there to attack they'll counter us and rip us to pieces on the break

Any reason why we can't hit them on the counter and rip them to pieces ? It's Wolves we're playing not Madrid 

That's the way to play them. Soak up the pressure and counter them. If we go attacking they'll pick us to pieces

1-1. Tough game but we'll be better than last season there which shouldn't be too hard.

Get the feeling though it will be a 1-1 with us nicking a goal and then hanging on for dear life in the last 20 minutes. Rather than dominating and controlling the game which looks a stretch given how we usually play and the quality Wolves have in midfield.

Would love to be proved wrong though. Performance to me is as important as a result in this one. Go toe to toe with a genuine promotion rival and I'd be pretty happy. Meekly losing like we did there last year would set off the alarm bells again.

I'm pretty sure Wolves v Villa was the second televised live league game when it all started back in 1983. 1-1.

Reading Molineux Mix you would think we are playing Madrid. They're already a bigger club than us and will be a European powerhouse within a couple of years according to some. Reading that forum has helped pass the hours at work this week. It will be an even more interesting read if we win.

There's at least 16 Villa in the upper tier above the away end that I know of, so we're doing our bit to sell out for them.

Holy moly they're out in force on their website.

Bigger club than the Vile bay we
More fans bay we
Birmingham is mainly Blues bay it

They're on another planet.

And they're all dead hard real lads and we're all a bunch of jessies. How very quaint.

Couple of defeats and it will be a different story.  "He's gorra goo".

It's like LSD is being added to their water supply.

Wolverhampton has a water supply?

[dave.woodhall]

And they're having HS2 extended to Wolverhampton.

I know of a fair few in there aswell.

Hopefully the atmosphere is better this season in our end. It was horrendous last season, one of the worst aways I've done, although not having a shot didn't help and that away end is crap.
