Aston Villa vs Cardiff City Pre Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

My “Give a Shit” meter as it relates to this game is close to “zero fucks given” considering how we’ve royally screwed up the last few weeks. Following the Wolves game this should have been a key fixture. Not so much anymore. I’ll go for a Villa win because I’m a mug.

2-1 Kodjia and Adomah

[Richard E]

I know what you mean. These two home games this week just feel like a massive inconvenience, to be honest.

It is a key fixture. Go in to the play offs on a sequence of defeats and there will be almost no chance of getting promoted. We need to turn it around quickly and get back on a roll. 

[Axl Rose]

3-1 to Cardiff, sadly.

[Risso]

Knowing Villa, now that it makes absolutely fuck all difference to us, we'l probably go and batter tham 4-0 now.

Its the Villa way.

I just want us to win the next two, secure 4th as soon as possible, then get our heads down for the Play Offs.

Boro, Derby and hopefully Cardiff in with us.

I agree, Villa will win this one comfortably. They do it on purpose to mess with us.

[Bad English]

We are going to get battered 1-1.

We must now get some momentum going into the play offs.
After Saturday, forget resting he could drop the lot of them.
Shame Hutton is injured, I'd have brought him back, while there must be a doubt about Terry after his knock and the amount of games he's played, and I don't think Kodija will start, so maybe Hogan and Grabban up top?
If we'd have won Saturday and then beaten Warnock's lot we'd be a point off automatic, so we've well and truly screwed it up.
Typical Villa, I think we will win when it don't matter so much, I'm going for 2-1 to us.

Wouldn't that be nice? 0-2 to them.

I too am in the ‘zero fucks’ camp, however, looking at a bigger picture I think it’s important we beat Cardiff to give Fulham the chance to overhaul them and finish second.
I think I would rather meet Cardiff in the play offs than Fulham.

Then again we’ll most likely fuck up regardless of who we play.

We should have kept the momentum going after the Wolves game but since then we appear to have given up.  ( I'm not counting Reading as an H&V eleven of 50 year olds would have beaten them).

Worth resting Grealish as otherwise they'll kick the living daylights out of him?

Yes the week that could have been so good has turned out be the proverbial spare ***** at the wedding.
