SHA v Aston Villa: Pre-Match Thread

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Can't see Captain Jack wanting to lose this one!!

I hate this fixture and will wince every time one of them lunges and hacks Jack down.  Hope the ref is strong.

About 2-3 weeks before we last played them in November, they were bang in form and we weren’t. Some of our fans were starting to feel apprehensive.

Then, they had a stutter and lost momentum just before they played us. We simultaneously hit form at the right time and gave Derby County a right twatting ensuring we approached the game against SHA with confidence sky high and managed to shut the fuckers up once again.

It’s all happening again.

A very comfortable 2-0 Villa win with Albert and Tammy from the spot providing the goals both before half time.

The only real question about Sunday is who to take out the midfield for McGinn.

[Leicester_Villian]

McGinn should start on the bench ...... you dont change a team thats just won 4-0 with the midfield giving its best performance for months 

[Toronto Villa]

Whelan had his first really good game in literally ages. And I'm delighted he did. But when you have a fully charged John McGinn available you play him. It's a massive upgrade.

[JJ-AV]

Whelan has to start IMO. McGinn comes in for Hourihane if anyone but I'd probably leave Conor in for his set peices.

Any chance Chester is fit? It'd be a shame if Hause moves inside and Taylor has to play.

[Leicester_Villian]

But isn't it great we are asking if John McGinn should play .........

[pooligan]

Anyone know who the ref is,we all know their idea of how to stop Jack is to cripple him .We need someone like Mike Dean who won't be scared to show a red if needed

[Steve67]

McGinn to start.  Whelan had his one decent game in 10 and might need a nice lie down now.  We need to match their (literally) blood and thunder. The result?  Not a fucking clue!

[LukeJames]

"Franksy, I'm tellin' ya....if dat second goal went in den we would've murdered da vile at their place !"

But it wasn't a goal, you moron. It hit the post and that was it. I dont think I've heard more about a non-goal that I have about that one. Straw clutching or what ?!

Anyway, no you can't have a beanie Pete, even if you ARE in ya sixties "yaknoworramean son !"

Usual small heath, kick lumps out of Jack early on and thug it out throughout the game. I'll be happy with 0-1, just to shut em up but it'll prob end 0-0, with them claiming we "bribed da ref again and in any case we got a team and dey aint, all dat money dey spent and dey aint goin nowhere, hahaha, KRO "

Yeah........KRO to a points deduction you tw@ts.

The Noses usual bollocks coming out. One of my favourites is that they have shut attendances because the Police cut capacity.

[Axl Rose]

A horrible team.

It's been a great run that we've been on against them. 14 years since we last lost in the league? That's mad.

It's very rare that I meet a Blues fan, even more so nowadays. But even when I was in Birmingham, I rarely did. I don't get all this 'the city is ours', nonsense. None of my mates from Birmingham support them, at gigs I went to, if the conversation did turn to football, nobody supported them...and so on. It was always a surprise to actually meet a Blues fan.

When I do meet one and they find out I'm a Villa fan, they harp on about 2002/2003, Enckleman, and that winner from Zigic in the cup. You'd think that they'd be quiet. If Villa had such shit recent history against another club, I wouldn't be banging on about things from further back.

A weird club with weird fans. I love how much we mean to them.
