Aston Villa v Yorkshire Whites 9th February 8pm. Pre Match Thread.

[Villa Lew]

78% going for a Villa win, which is a bit worrying, even so I still think we'll do it, going 2-1.

[Brazilian Villain]

I haven't felt this confident playing them since the morning of the 1996 League Cup Final. Another 3-0 win please.

Don’t want to jinx it, but……….I think this could be the match where we spank a side off the park AND get the goals we deserve. Reckon we’ll batter them. 4-1. Why not.

I don't know why, but I just have this feeling we're going to batter them.

Us 5-1 Them.

You two report to the medical tent please immediately

Same here. I remember in the queue into Wembley car park I let a minibus full of whites from Yorkshire nudge in my lane and told them that that was the only thing they are getting today as I was totally confident we will win. Of course a load of abuse was bellowed towards me  but hey as expected we thrashed them.

A great day.  And in fairness my own experience was that their fans were pretty good on the day before and after the game, notwithstanding their reputation at the time.

One of them didn’t take too kindly to my comment when purchasing a programme outside: “oh £5 - same as last time we were here (1994 obvs) - bet you can’t say that”. Wanted to batter me. I put it down to the 5pm ko. Luckily I was able to move away in the crowd.

2-0 win. They're shit and Bielsa's bubble has burst.

We'll lose now I've give it the big un.

We were in St. Jospeh's pre-match. Great atmosphere and everyone just seemed sure we'd win, it was really striking.

As chrisw1 mentions the Leeds fans were fine that day. My uncle and I were getting tube tickets to head north after the game when the Met emptied a train full of Leeds fans into the narrow tunnel we were in. They were doing the 'Leeds, Leeds, Leeds' chant as they passed us but tbf that was all despite the result.

Yorkshire Whites? Yorkshire Whites Only more like. Marching On Together have set themselves the thankless task of trying to stamp out racism at Leeds for over 30 years without much success. See the Leeds Salute. Leeds are a strange club, a rugby league town that draws in support from former mining villages and very long in the tooth glory hunters from Scandinavia. I can't think of another club whose fans are everywhere when they're winning but disappear or go back to supporting Leeds Rhinos when they're shit, which is most of the time. Not that they're even loyal to Leeds Rhinos. You'll rarely see 'Leeds' and 'loyal' in the same sentence.

Super Leeds in the seventies where big in Scandinavia.  From late sixties onwards we got a TV match from the English 1. div every Saturday 4 o clock. We didnt have anything like it, big impact for generation(s). Super Leeds with Billy Bremner? Peter Lorimer, Allan Clarke and some else stood out in those formative years for some. My self never liked their supporters in Scandinavia much. I think Gerrard set us up solid defensively so they cant get too much opportunities with their high pressure game. 2-1-to us; Couthino 33, Watkins 63, them 65.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Honestly think we will batter them

[TonyD]

5.1

[Clark W Griswold]

2-1 win.

[john e]

as bad as some of you think Leeds are the difference Between us is just 4 points so there’s not a chasm between us
Obviously we have improved Since Gerrard arrived so we should be going for a win but it won’t be easy

2-1
