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

I'm extremely jittery, but that might be the crack cocaine.

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

Magnificent, only surpassed by its pure magnificence and splendour, THIS IS ASTON VILLA FC, we will CONQUER

I'm helped by Magners, sweet, but that might be a sign

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.

I heard it. They were very respectful about us saying, among other things, how we are a "massive club deserving of being in the top division".

They just didn't seem to think WBA brought anything to the Premier League when they were in it.

Every piece I read and everything I hear predicts that we'll be promoted. I hate this.

Bloody Mods! When it needs doing, it needs doing properly! Soul Power!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

So bloody nervous. Not sure if I'll sleep tonight. Head says 1-0, heart says 4-0. Scared to sleep as nightmare says 0-2.

FTA.

I’ve just told Mrs Ozvilla about the game tonight.  I told her whatever happens it’s only a game - that way if it turns out badly she’ll not realise the disappointment - who am I trying to kid?  Getting nervous now.
