Aston Villa vs Fulham Championship Play-Off Final Pre-Match Thread

[devilla]

I had a dream last night. We went one nil up after we caught them on the break then they equalised and went two one up. Then I woke up but I'm sure we would have won 3 - 2.

Getting really nervous now.

I already know I hate this game.

Just win. I would love a majestic performance, that is football style, total football Ajax style. However it wont be and to be honest, i do not care. Just win the blooming game, Villa, just win

[ironmaidenmania]

Tight and nervy affair with neither side wanting to make a mistake and be punished. 0-0 and then to penalties.

[Bad English]

I am imagining a red card for Snodgrass after 8 minutes. Bruce battens down the hatches and it's backs to the wall for 90 minutes plus extra time.

Then we go to kicks from the penalty mark. It's neck and neck until sudden death.

Sessegnon has to score or we are up. He hits the bar.

I hope it’s not going to be decided by penalties. I might not survive that. I think I’m right in saying that of the last ten championship play offs, eight were decided in normal time, one in extra time and one with penalties.

Creosoting the fence on Saturday.

That was one of my summer jobs as a kid. Creosote (proper stuff as well) our own fence of about 60 yards, then my Grandmother's fence of probably double that and finally the gatehouse at Lydney RFC.
I was the go-to kid for creosoting.

I suspect that being at the game on Saturday will be far less stressful than watching at home or trying to find something to do in order to avoid it.

[Tony Erdington]

I realise its on the pitch that counts.

but I think weve won the battle of the stands.

looking at their selling page

quite a number of Villa now in the Fulham end.

Already?

[Chris Jameson]

They open the gates earlier and earlier these days.

Non of this nervy nonsense please.  Just score 4 in the first 20 mins then we can all relax and enjoy the rest of the game.

[myf]

Any suggestions for venues showing game. Requirements are suitable for kids and predominantly villa fans?

1-0 either way is the way i see it, very tight

i hope it doesn't go to extra time or penalties as my lad has to get back to Manchester and the last train out of Euston is 9.00pm which will make it to tight i reckon
