Middlesbrough will feel like there is 48,000 villa fans when they hear the crowd in full voice. was worried about Bree`s match fitness levels. But considering they all played three days ago it should be fine. Got a feeling Terry will score 1-0 and I win my bet that he will score more goals than Gabby ......

According to Tiny, there'll be 48,000 attending the match (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/15/jack-grealish-found-focus-aston-villa-steve-bruce).
He's a rather dislikeable individual.

So he is going on play for pens.

What did he say to make him rather dislikeable? He actually predicted "a proper football match in a great stadium at a great club" Ok he got the stat wrong by saying 48,000 and he predictably said all the pressure was on us but i'd expect any manager to try that tactic.

I'm with Mister E. I'm not keen on him at all. His constant jibes at us when he was with the Stripy Filth were petty at best. And he's a bit of a full kit wanker on the sidelines.

a 3 in one post bad to hear news about J'Loyd Samuel. Shocker to just find that out logging in here. Poster in the relevant section of the site said one word "respect" which I think is very apt in his case. Villa's history surely better with his name involved. Anyway, Alan Hutton - fair play to the man if he will get another deal, was thinking about it earlier, based on his conduct and effort maybe he is on a par with some of the clubs stalwarts of modern times? just my opinion. Anyway over in China the game kicks off at 03:00 which is well past my bedtime so good luck to the lads and hey lets have a moment for J'Loyd Samuel as well. UTV.

I look forward to all sides of the ground singing in unison, "There's only one Tiny Penis" as we go 3 up tonight.

He's a shithouse, but nowt really wrong with his comments there.

I always took his desperation to compare and contrast our shots on target with his lousy Olbiyun mob (sometimes as little as 10 minutes after our respective games had finished) as a compliment.

Even when they were finishing above us due to our chronic ineptitude, Tiny was wise enough to know there was only one show in town.

Just a small reminder.....tonight's game is at Villa Park and not at Wembley as was reported on the Today Radio 4 sports slot at 7.25am

Repeated at 8.25 am

And we moan about RadioWM.

Indeed, nowt wrong in that article.
I just don't like him (and I'm not being fickle either).

Looks like a massive banner hanging from the Holte on a picture I've just seen on Twitter.
