Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[QuintonVilla]

Just got my tickets. They wouldn't commit if close to a sell-out, just 'very busy'.

Still about 4k in the Trinity when I looked last night

36,400 sold.

I'm hoping obviously for a win if only to shut up the smug Dingle at work.

Funnily enough he's got lots to say this season. Todays latest gem was "I see its the same ref as the last time we played you. Lets hope he see's any stamps from Grealish and sends off Chester this time when he commits two yellow car offences"

Normally I would refrain from replying but today had to ask him how long it took him to get back from Leeds. Only to get a blank look.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I imagine they're very much like the Leeds supporters I know; you only hear from them when they've won and looking to be heading for promotion, the rest of their time they're gloryhunting with Leeds Rhinos, I kid you not.

[Rigadon]

If we beat them it will so tight at the top that it isn't unthinkable they would miss out on the autos themselves.  I'd say unlikely, but wouldn't that be fucking hilarious after all the bluster!

Hopefully the same ref will be bringing those same yellow cards for when Cavilero chucks himself to the floor every 30 seconds also

Phew, glad no-one noticed I posted 'two yellow car offences'

They're all a bit mental on their board. They must have the cleanest windows in the Black Country.

You want to try living and working among them.

Bloody hell, have I misconstrued that or have we really gone back in time this evening?

[Mister E]

A Leeds-supporting mate was eulogising about Wolves; the best team he’s ever seen in this division. He claims they are quick, clever and strong. He particularly noted their large DMF (I don’t know the Wolves team so cannot name him).
So, can we raise our game?

[Matt Collins]

From what I’ve seen they are the best side at this level since we’ve been down here by an absolute mile. Loads better than Newcastle

Doesn’t mean we can’t get a win though

Will probably need to be one of our best performances of the season. I’d normally be ok with a draw but we could be 7 points behind Cardiff by kick off so we may need to win . . .

[Rigadon]

Cliche Alert!  The table tell us that they're the best team in the league.   But they has their best game of the season v us, so says my Wolves season ticket holding mate.  One team is going to choke.  I hope it's them.   

[SoccerHQ]

They might actually be happy with the point. Won't play for one obviously but point away to a local rival would pretty much end our very slim hopes of catching them and they got their back on track win.

Sounds like he's deflecting from how utterly shite Leeds are. They were Sunderland with a bit of headless chicken running.

[OzVilla]

I've gone for a draw 2-2. They'll have a go and we'll be up for it also so I'm expecting this to be a good game.

Both sides have attacking options to burn.
