Aston Villa vs Leeds United Pre match thread - Oct 23rd - 8pm

Just noticed this game is on BT Sports Box Office WWE... surely that gives Dirty Leeds an unfair advantage?

Surely the advantage goes to the better divers?

Their goalkeeper:

"Okay, Aston Villa have had four games and four wins. But now we are Leeds, we arrive to win"

The entitlement is strong with this one.

Were they not Leeds before?

[Risso]

"We leave to try again next week."

I can't decide if I want us to hammer them by at least 6 or win in the last second with the spawniest and most controversial goal possible. Both options make my tummy tickle.

“...and we going again.”

Shirley no contretemps

Villa 5 Leeds 0

That reminds me of an old 'Colemanballs' quote from Bobby Robson. "What can you say about Micky Mills? Micky Mills is Micky Mills and always will be Micky Mills and has been Micky Mills since the year dot".

A deserved hammering would be far more satisfying, there's just no argument about the justification...

Good news, Lawro's tipped Leeds to win 2-1.

Can't be lost that we can go top of the Premier League tomorrow night with a win.  Considering where we have been in recent times, it just feels great to be looking forward to games and possibilities like that again.

A draw sends us top as well. If we do go top it wil be for the first time since Aug 2011.

What I am particularly happy about this current group is that there seems to no egos. Everyone; the owners, the manager and coaches, the captain and players all seems to great characters, very level headed and humble. It's great to have that especially now as there are many more eyes on the club, for very good reasons more so than ever in the past 10 years.

*McLeish first pump*

That must've been very early on as we only won one game up to October!

I'm very grateful to Derby for beating them in the playoff semi-final. I think they had our number that year.

Old man and I talked about taht today. Was helpful derby came to wembley with 0 plan and belief. If only mason mo....

After spy gate Derby final was v Leeds pretty much, just look at their celebrations at the end, like they'd been promoted at Elland Road. They turned up at Wembley for the derby out really and hoping we'd be below par while for once we turned up expecting to win.

I agree Leeds would've been a very tricky match up for us but worth noting we didn't have Grealish in the 2-3 defeat at VP and think McGinn may have been suspended aswell, also had James Bree playing CB that day.

Leeds could start 5 who played at VP 18 months back.
