Aston Villa v SHA: Pre-match Thread

[Richard E]

I wish I shared everyone's confidence about this one! On paper we should murder them, but the match is played on grass...

[VinnieChase84]

Oh Vincent

You've let us all down

More importantly, you've left yourself down

I’ve passed on things on here before and do so in good faith. I’m absolutely delighted I’ve been fed incorrect info on this occasion.

I hope for once you're wrong, Vinnie.

Me too mate. Trust me, I’m absolutely chuffed if we’re all good. McGinn would be a huge miss as we don’t have anyone who can offer as much energy as he does

[The Man With A Stick]

Had the misfortune of going there for a work event over the summer.  Only football ground I've ever been to where there is an airport style metal detector in the main reception.

"You can leave knives, knuckledusters and coshes here and pick them up after the match.  Enjoy the game".   

There's also a box with 6,000 Blooze pendants in.

A nose at work reckons if they stick with their regular keeper we will be guaranteed at least 2 goals.

The charm of working for the Noses. Lovely carpet.

Is he launching a heartfelt plea to find the missing 12,000 home supporters they need to find to prove they are bigger than the Villa?

For me, still not as good as the one he had to have next to a Biffa waste lorry as part of a sponsorship promo. That was comedy gold!

[Ian.]

Crikey, back in the day Dawlish Town could have pulled off a more professional press conference than that.

We murdered them under that bell end Bruce who had a one size fits all book of tactics. While I’m not saying we are guarabteenee to win under Dean Smith at least you know he will have thought things through based on what the Noses will bring and the players will be told how to beat them rather than falling on a bit of luck.

[Legion]

So was it the usual Twatter bollocks about Chester and Tuanzebe?

[eamonn]

Vinnie's a good sort and passes on what he hears, no need for the argy-bargy.

Looking at that picture of Monk it would seem the cutbacks at Small Heath are getting worse

Thanks dude 👍🏻
I’ve obviously this afternoon gone back to my man to see what’s the take. He still insists axel was very very unlikely to play as he’s not even been in full training this week due to the knock.
I’m delighted it doesn’t seem to be the case but just sharing in good faith.

Let’s do these lot like we did derby UTV

[john2710]

Perhaps with the worry about Chester, they've kept Axel out of training to avoid the risk of him picking up an injury, rather than him actually being injured.

He’s Argentinian..?

What is the white powder on the floor ?  Have they been doing the `shake n vac`without the vacumning ? Hardly going to put the freshness back.
