Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Pre-Match Thread

[Tom Stewart]

Could be a really good game but may be a tense affair with neither side wanting to lose.

Or they could just roll us over. Who knows?

Realistically a draw would be a good result for us.

A draw leaves us six points adrift of Cardiff. It's not a good result for us.

Yup we need to win.

We 100% do not NEED to win!

A draw leaves us 3 points adrift of Cardiff with a better goal difference and still to play them at home if they lose, or 4 points behind them if they draw. It isn't a given that they will definitely beat Blose.   

[Tom Stewart]

saying we NEED to win implies that there are immediate, irrevocable negative consequences if we don't. It simply isn't correct to say that.

Would you take a defeat in this one if, say, we won the following 6, including beating Cardiff?

I'd bet good money that such a scenario would have us sitting in 2nd place.

Six points is a sizeable gap with less than two months of the season remaining. We need to win this one, or it will take a superhuman effort, or a Welsh fuck up unparalleled since the hilarity of Western Samoa, to catch Cardiff.

Cardiff aren't drawing any. Nor are Fulham.

We are at home, to one of the 23 clubs in this division who are our inferiors.

Fucking win, please.

Concern for me would be if we take the lead and then park the bus.

Sky have us playing away on yellow ticker tape Rivalry weekend banner.

Not sure. Cardiff's very good run has put a lot of pressure on us and other chasers. We need to get something tomorrow.

Is it right they're handing out 10,000 flags on Saturday? Tinpot.

Cardiff's very good run has been spawny as fuck. Regardless, all good runs end.

why would they give them 4 flags each?

Hope they are also doing half and half scarves to commemorate the massive game against Wolverbarca

[Des Little]

Are these flags to be used to raise awareness of a Dingle sat in home seats?  Is 10k enough?
