Villa v Brighton pre-match thread

Another great Fanzine name is Worse than East Fife.

Always enjoyed those little match previews from DW in the fanzine.

Nothing against Brighton personally, always like to see clubs rise through the leagues to give others hope. Dick Knight played a huge part in their recent history, wonder if he's forgiven us yet for signing Gareth Barry?

Anyway will go for a 2-1 win. Similar to Burnley game but we'll hang onto the lead this time.

Yeah, life's too short to be hating Brighton.

It's already pretty much a full-time job finding the time to hate Blose, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, Millwall, Luton, Leeds, Liverpool, Man United, "Rangers", Queen's Park, Real Madrid, Lazio, Zenit St Petersburg and Beitar Jerusalem.

And that's only the teams I really hate, not the ones I dislike quite a lot.

I am always worried after a great win and an extended break the optimism increases so much that an impending loss is all I think about

This time I think the Villa will use Norwich as a spring board and play with a confidence we always knew this team had

I have a soft spot for Brighton because of this wonderful man.

Sorry to have to ask, but who is it please?

[Toronto Villa]

3-1 Villa

Big Wes, Conor, Jack

Connolly for them who looks really good and will be a constant threat.

Don't forget, you're starting the Match thread, TV.

[Jon Crofts]

Looking forward to this one, first game at VP for me this season, just a shame I have to sit next to that mardy arse DB of this parish.

A proper thumping would do wonders, I'm going 4-1 Villa obviously.

I don't know about Jimmy Melia's white shoes. I know that they're the only league team with four words in their name. Possibly. I haven't bothered to check this fact.

Jota definitely out. He's had surgery on a hernia he's had for a year.
