Aston Villa vs Bristol City: Pre-match Thread

[eamonn]

Our last Saturday game of the season is here.

Enjoy, we'll miss 'em next season.

I'm on the bus to Euston to get the train to Brum, first VP game since we mauled the wulves last season. Hope it's more like that and less like my last Villa game, at Brentford.

It'll be interesting to see if he sticks with Kodjia after the way he played on Wednesday. I just hope the game the other night didn't take too much out of us. A win would be superb but even if we do lose, we've done well to get ourselves back up there. I'll go for a 3-1 win though.

I thought it was the two up front  that worked rather than individuals however Kodjia got himself involved. When a team has been on a good rum by playing in a particular way other teams watch and divise methods to stop them so it's good that we can change the mix  and should do just to knock opposition off their game.

Have a great day everybody, really, really wish I'd got a ticket for this.  Think I'll be coming to Millwall on Easter Monday though.

Remember when we played the dogheads last season ? The best team in the division.
We ripped them a new one.
This team is more than capable of doing the same to Bristol fecking city.

C’MON ME BABBIES !!

we ripped Bristol a new one last season and Id say we are a better team at this moment

[The Edge]

think it's safe to say that i speak for 100 per cent of cardiff fans you beat our real rivals from across the border 5 nil at least

We'll do our best for you

[itbrvilla]

I can fucking wait. All we need is 2 wins IMO. But anything to overtake the bitters will be great. Second leg at VP!

yeah, a couple of quid, and you get a baguette at the Tavern 

Free at the Swan and Mitre normally but the drought beer choice is either lager or lager.

So theres a drought?

2-1 Villa really important game, win this and we put 4 clear points between us and Bristol City, it's in our hands now, after this, Bolton then Millwall, good result today, follow that up with good results against Bolton and Millwall ( very possible) and we're home and dry, serious rumours around that the massively rich owners of PSG are interested in Villa in a takeover, this could be the start of a born again sleeping giant coming back to life and so it should be, this would be the ideal club for owners like PSG to put us where we belong.

You'll drink any old crap in a drought.

Of decent beer, yes.

Read that the other night, not really sure I'd want us to be a Qatari plaything to be honest.  Would much rather see what Sawiris and Edens can do when we get promoted, they're not exactly skint.

Hopefully the stuff about Jack being out is a load of internet bollocks.

How much profit would they make by selling us on?

Flu being mentioned. Big blow if true

[taylorsworkrate]

Hopefully the stuff about Jack being out is a load of internet bollocks.

Illness would.seem an extremely strange reason for Jack to miss a match of this magnitude (unless the illness is so severe that he won't be able to stop himself consequently defecating on the pitch). Nothing mentioned on any media site and nothing in Smiths press conference, so although not impossible he's out, it would be a huge surprise.
