Aston Villa vs Tottingham Pre-Match Thread - Sunday 16th 2pm

[Chris Smith]

There are currently issues on the Cross City line into New St from the south looks like no trains running at present. Hopefully be sorted by the morning but worth checking first thing.

It could well be postponed.

It could well be postponed. 

I agree the weather is very poor and not forecast to get any better, I think the Citeh game was called off about 10.30am/11.00am last Sunday

Fuck, I hope not.

The shitty weather may well be a good leveller.

The missus will be at the game. She has yet to see us lose.

She’s never been before, has she?

Her illustrious attendances include Daz Bent's debut, the 2-each at Swansea, and the stripeyfilth in the cup.

My wife has never seen us do anything but win. 8 games 8 wins, including our only win away in Europe proper since Celta Vigo in Prague.

Ads: "Fancy a romantic weekend away in November?"

Mrs Ads: "Sounds lovely. How thoughtful"

Naturally I only told her when we got there that the last day would involve standing around drinking all day and then watching the Villa. The next year I managed to combine an Edinburgh break with Sunderland in the cup.

No idea why she wants a divorce.

Will you be bringing her tomorrow?

Come on Villa boys! We need to take advantage of playing at home today. With the results of relegation rivals going our way over the winter break, we need to be the ones who can start to open up meaningful gaps, starting today. With the Villa fans firmly behind the team let's get those 3 points! UTV!

Feeling optimistic, 2-1 to Villa. We need to be at it from the off though, no sluggish start please Villa.

[ChicagoLion]

Any chance it will be called off?

Any chance it will be called off?

It'd take a brave meteorological call right now to. It's damp out, a little breezy, that's all.

[Clampy]

We need to try and get the first goal if we can. I know coming from behind shows really good character but we can't keep doing it. I'll go for a 2-2 draw. Grealish and Samatta with ours.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Road flooded by Witton Bridge.Buses diverted. Not looking good down there.

[Lastfootstamper]

It looks like it'll stop raining around 1 o'clock, southerly winds topping out at around 20mph.
