this is a top end of the championship game of course it's big game for both sides . i,m sure SB will rally his troops for this one . as for atmosphere pretty sure our lot will make hell of a racket . pretty sure if you score in the first few minutes your lot will crank up there voices too . i got a feeling warnock will park the bus first half and throw everything at you second half even the kitchen sink .  you'll be bored of gunarsson with his long throws after about 60 minutes in -haha

Bored allready mate.
Enjoy you big night out.

You may have noticed from the posts on this thread that the life has been sucked out of our fans by our bottle job of the last few weeks. This is still a big game for you, it isn't for us any more sadly, even if we still need points to secure the playoffs. If you get your noses in front early on expect a near silent home end other than grumbling and perhaps a bit of booing. We'll get up again for the playoffs but right now everyone's depressed and pissed off.

yeah get your drift meanwood . i think the difference from both sides is that we are not expected to be in this position whilst you are . to me even it is play offs for AV surely you should be looking to finish strong come what may .  oh well that's my work done for the evening nerves kicking in now . hope the roads aren't too bad for late afternoon tomorrow that M5 can be a nightmare on times .

[Tony Erdington]

You gave us 5 thousand because your ground was empty. A bot like vp tomorrow night.  The main voices you hear will be singing land of my father, I would imagine.

My advice is got off the M5 at junction 4 up the Stourbridge Road, right at Hagley and up the Mile, Manner Way and go up the A456 into town.

Only last Friday it looked like the game tomorrow could be a massive one.  Unfortunately, things didn't pan out that way and as others have said, it feels like an anti-climax already.  Cardiff will come with a physical edge and I'm not really sure we'll be able to stand up to it to be honest.

I think my first ever game at Villa Park was against Cardiff City so I'm going for a 2-1 Villa win with Rioch and Graydon from the spot.

I’m still stuck in the town of fucked-off-ville since Saturday. 2nd time in 25 years the canaries shat on my head just when I thought glory was in sight.

Think Bruce could be borderline losing the dressing room. It’s his shit tactics and out of depth panic resulting in no discernible plan and blaming the players. What a time to have a shit run.

Based on current form we’re shit and we have no chance in the playoffs which makes it all the more galling.

Can only see a 3-0 win for the bluebirds with the boos getting louder. Sorry Bruce but I don’t think your going to make it for next season.

Bruce won't be here whatever happens next season. My fear is "the boos getting louder". As I said when we he was appointed, we still have to get behind the team. Rise up, Villa. Tomorrow will be fun.

Another defeat. They will kick the crap out of us too.

Yeah. That is the fear. I very much doubt there will be 22 players left on the pitch after 90 minutes.

we sold out our allocation after only 48 hours of going on sale 2 weeks ago .  would have been nice to give us at least another 1,000 tickets as we gave you close to 5,000 earlier in the season HQ . Think it's going to be hell of an atmosphere tomorrow night can't wait .

D_C we don't give anyone 5000 and even if we had offered 5000 your owners would have baulked at that as away club have to pay for the tickets asked  they are not sale or return. On the other hand we have sold as many as given.
Anyway good luck but we will beat you.

Brian Tiler will score with a great header from outside the area.
The Doc will be pleased. I will think we are moving to glory at breakneck speed.

When we beat Cardiff at home last season Grealish was deliberately targeted and fouled time and time again. And then Warnock had the nerve to complain about Grealish "shouting at the referee to get players booked"
