They've still got 300 left for the home leg. I know crowds aren't everything but what a tinpot outfit.

I don't know if they were discussing the game tomorrow and comparing Albion to us or if they were just talking about more recent times as I only caught the very end of the conversation between Adrian Durham and Darren Gough just on Talksport, but I distinctly heard Adrian Durham call Albion "A nothing club with few achievements".

Which is bollocks, and by implication disrespectful to us.

It is typical Adrian Durham trying to be a sports 'Shock Jock'. George Gavin tried to reinvent himself as one and was a parody.

Cheers, mate.
All installed, so many thanks.

I can see Freddie Starr missing out, Risso. I’m not sure he’s 100% fit.

It was a toss up between him and Bjarnason.

Fair enough then. But I’m still not sure we’re allowed 8 subs.

This is it...this is what we came for, 2-1 Villa, massive game, I actually think being a derby game this is the hardest game we could get, overcome this and it's full steam ahead.

Resplendent. You'd think from the pitch it was preseason not the eve of a playoff semi-final
