Aston Villa vs Brentford pre match thread

[CT]

I hope we beat these ******.

I used to hate it when they played at our place in the championship and danced effortlessly around us like invaders from Planet Football as we struggled with BruceBall.

I even remember the 0-0 at VP under Bruce where they battered us. They should have scored 5, but at the time, it was seen as another point towards getting there or thereabouts.

The last meeting at Villa Park, we were much the better team, but still needed a late equaliser.

Does anyone know if the South Aston United  Reformed Church car park is open this season? I could not make the last match and wanted to check before heading up. Apologies, as not sure best place to ask this.

Time to put it to bed once and for all, and shove it up their managers arse, the smug fucker.

Elis James said on the Football Weekly podcast a while back that he doesn't like Thomas Frank because he looks like a man whose only hobby apart from football is going home and making love to his wife.

He looks like a weed-smoking, sexually liberated ski instructor who spends his winters balls-deep in a selection of 20 year old gullible northern european women.

he is the bloke who turns up at a party and just happens to have his guitar with him.

1-2.... We are always shite against them. Just have a bad feeling.

Bailey, Sanson and Traore out. Watkins training today but sounds unlikely. Some rumours about McGinn floating about that he's out, which are the way the Bailey ones started last week. Smith didn't mention Bailey last week pre game, so just because he has not said he's out, he still could be.

[sickbeggar]

hah, if Mcginn is out as well, its past the barebones stage and into the bone marrow.

[Risso]

Good to see Bailey has settled into the Greasy role almost seamlessly.

Watkins made a mug of Hutton the same game?

So it could be a midfield of Nakamba, Luiz and Ramsey? Goodness.

[Demitri_C]

If mcginns out chuk starts for me

Ramsey and Carney with just Luiz for protection against one of the most aggressive sides in the league? In the year when they've relaxed the tackling rules?
