• Born in Aston, schooled in Aston, family back to great grandfather etc…all Aston.
  
  Who else could I have supported .
  
  Suppose when I’m dissected in aid of medical science they will discover Aston in my bones just like Blackpool rock

• I hope we annihilate them for further ruining my weekend back in 1995 when stuck in the A&E with my Great Uncle for 7 hours only to head home listening to them on WM beat us. And my Mom did that tinned bacon stuff instead of the real stuff for tea that night. I was a very unhappy 12 year old that evening so you owe me Villa. You owe me for enduring that!

  It’s alarmingly nice in pasta bakes however but yep. Alas was not source of my nickname. I just hope I don’t have to relive it again this weekend.

  The poor sod passed away the year before I was born, only in his mid fifties, and only a few weeks before we lifted the League Cup and won promotion.
  

  
  That's a bloody shame. I really hope there's some kind of afterlife where they give you the classified results.
  

  Are you saying we have to carry on going through all this in the afterlife, ffs 🤦‍♂️

• Pre match chat from Emery (or quotes attributed to Emery more accurately) suggest Young and McGinn will be on the right flank similar to the Spurs game.

• Tinned bacon? Never heard of that. I know my mom fed me stuff like tip top, but not tinned bacon.

  Tip Top on your favourite puddings, with a natural creamy taste.
