Aston Villa vs West Bromwich Albion (Play-off Semi 1st leg): Pre-match Thread

[olaftab]

Not nervous at about this. We will win unless something really bad happens like a red  card etc.

[KRS]

Remarkably relaxed about the whole thing...I'm sure it will be different walking up to Villa Park and as soon as the game kicks off.

I’m relaxed not out of overconfidence. But because the team will have been prepared correctly by the manager and his staff. That we will have game plan that if executed will garner the desired result. That we won’t just play the one style but will modify our approach based on the opponent. That we have Jack Grealish who wants nothing more than to lead HIS team to the PL playing for man who has loved OUR club for a very long time.

We may not win. But it won’t be for a lack of dedication or preparation or desire. But I think we will and I believe we will be a PL club on May 27th. So let tomorrow roll on.

Spot on regarding the reason for confidence.

We're effective by design, that's why I'm so confident. Well that and the crack cocaine.

I'm in the same boat. Good post

I would love to be as confident as others, but Villa never do things easy. I'm going to both games and expect it to go to the last minute of the second leg.

I'd play Hourihane instead of Whelan in this game, then Whelan in for the second semi. Also, I'd prefer to see Hause at Left back - harsh on Taylor but Hause is quicker and has a greater physical presence with his height.

I think I love you

Just f^*k the f^*kers. I'm going for a 4-1 win. They won't be able to handle the white hot atmosphere at Villa Park.

Go up, so when I come home in August I catch watch Villa in the Premier League.   

[ADVILLAFAN]

Glad we have the early kick off, so I don't have to worry all day about the game. Sunderland fan I work with is not thrilled about their playoff kicking off at 7:30pm.

... Let me know if you're able to download it from that link above. If you can't, drop me a PM and I'll go online and find an easier way for you to do it when I wake up tomorrow morning!

Cheers, mate.
All installed, so many thanks.

Good stuff, mate. Enjoy!

Come on Villa boys, let's do this! Our season starts again today and a little winning run of 3 games would be nice! Let's keep our discipline on the pitch and with the full support of the fans and Dean's greater experience on the bench we can come away from today with a win, which will set us up nicely for Tuesday because I think we can come away from the bitters with a result. UTV!

I’m shitting myself, I’ll be ok once the game starts (pre match beer will help)

The first reply on there is from a bluenose. Swiftly followed by several of their olbayun bum chums copying each other with the obligitory and very childish sotv. Theres more of them two and leeds commenting on a video about us than villa. Says it all. We've got em rattled. Come on villa lets make villa park a cauldron and send them packing with their tail between their legs.
