Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[Brassneck]

A big worry for me is the quality of their corners. The first two goals on Wednesday were from corners and that one player (forget his name) can hit a fantastic dead ball. We've looked vulnerable from corners all season and I am more uncomfortable than ever, every time one is conceded.

I think attacking wise, we are not giving ourselves credit. Grealish is head and shoulders too good for this division and both Albert and Snoddy can create as well as chip in with goals. They keep on raving about none of our team getting into theirs. How many of their players could replace those 3?

This has the makings of a really good game for the neutral - The only thing that could spoil it is either a very early Wolves goal or Bruce being overly cautious.

Awake
Face like a demented school boy
A grin from ear to ear
It must be match day
Wolves away to Villa
Can not wait
Breakfast
Beer
Malt
More Malt
Fly Carl's Flag
Sing very loud
Mind the Gap

Ah bless. I do love reading about fans excitement on cup final day.

Do they 'Fly Carl's Flag' from their 'oss an cart on the way down?

Ar. All the way down the Black Country route. Picking up as many old bikes,used washing machines and scrap as the Tatters can lay their hands on.

I think there might be a red card or two tonight, I reckon both sides will be pumped up for this one.

In fairness, here are some of their more affluent fans gathering near the North Stand, by the looks of it :

Big game player's will make a massive difference today. Terry, Chester, Jedi, Grealish,  Snoddy & Adomah  would walk into most teams in the championships. This is why I'm confident that we'll win today.

Biggest fear today is the referee .....both teams have experienced him this season with him not being good.
This game should have had a premier league official in charge ...it is 1st v 3rd and this guy is not up to it
It would be a shame after the game talking about sending offs etc that have spoilt the outcome
However today is a game for leaders .....come on JT fire them up and lets show the performance there was a one off
Stage is set for Jack ...lets rip them apart and dont get a silly booking for a dive early on...
Lets at 7.30pm head home happy and are we allowed today to hope for a performance from Small Heath and hope they pick up points?

Too bloody right we are. They're still shit enough to get relegated even if they pick up a point or three today and it would do us a huge favour which would absolutely torture some of them.

I suppose we should be flattered that being two League places above us for the first time in nearly 40 years brings them to orgasm.

And yet we've NEVER told them to "mind the gap" have we? Says a lot about the different mindset of us and  them. They've got a better team than Barcelona now so  you'd think they would just enjoy it and not dish out snidey comments every 5 minutes. Small time fans small time club small time town. Come on Villa please shut these annoying twats up by beating them.

As someone has said on Twitter, can you remember us ever singing about Wolves except when we are playing them?

Like most villa fans I've never had a problem with wolves but their gloating arrogance this season has really pissed me off. And them singing Small Heath's anthem (you know the one) the other night at Leeds confirmed it for me. They really are a bunch of pricks.

For 37 years consecutive years we didn't give a toss about the gap, and strangely they never mentioned it either.

In the law of the jungle 11 wolves should be no match for 11 lions. Hopefully Bruce will have kept our pride of lions underfed this week and they will be relishing feasting on wolves.  Come on you lions.

I never knew you were a Villa fan Sir David?

I'm getting a bit nervous about this now I'm on the way. Would I feel better if the Noses hadn't thrown in the towel after ten minutes?

Don't be nervous.

We will win.

It will be 3-2 to us.

A classic Villa performance.

We will be on here at 7:30pm tonight smirking.

That's a guarantee.
