Junction 14 is horrible - have seen a few bad accidents there over the years travelling to and from Brum

That whole stretch between 14 and 17 must have a higher incidence of accidents than anywhere else in the country.

You used to be able to jib to Hawthrons via Keele services. They're knocking that down now.

Ha, used to pop for the odd Burger King via I think Three Mile Lane.

Hawthorns campus is no more?! Blimey if I was told earlier I'd have been a one man protest outside Templar bar and told them to go to the Smethwick version instead!

The M6 does have more than any other motorway (not sure about that particular stretch though.

In terms of A-roads, the A38, between Birmingham and Staffs, had 8,698 accidents involving 13,153 vehicles between 2007 and 2016 - 360 more accidents than any other road in the UK.

Basically, all (dangerous) roads lead to Villa Park.

Didn't realise until I heard on the radio this morning that they will go top if they beat us tonight.

I always found it a bit grim to be honest! And she had to be attractive to bother to walk all the way down there when full of snake bite on a Wednesday.

They're building (or may have already built) a new halls immediately on your left on the main entrance.

Heart says 2 - 0 to us.

Interesting. Might have a quick nostalgic look around before the Stoke game in a few weeks.

I’m feeling positive about this one and going 2-0 to us. Both goals in the second half

Got a bad feeling about this one but hopefully I'll be wrong. Mings to get booked for his first challenge.

Blimey. If you are feeling pessimistic then we are screwed - your glass is usually half full.
