Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest pre match thingies

[Monty]

I’m sure there will be a couple slip ups

Couple OF. OF.

I have this nagging fear, but I did v Leicester and I think the crowd will be bouncing.

I think as Villa fans it's going to take a long, long time to get those nagging doubts out of our system, we've been 'typical Villa' for way too long. Emery's changing all that though.

[dicedlam]

An early goal for us is key. They won't be able to sit back if we do get it.

3-0.

[Baldy]

Our negative goal difference will be getting right up Unai's hooter. He will demand a victory.

3-1 to the villa.

[Risso]

The GD that’s down to Emery is +8 though.

I think he'll be more annoyed by us conceding a goal against these.

You've got to admire the efficiency of averaging a win and a draw every fortnight with a goal difference of +1.

[Baldy]

The GD that’s down to Emery is +8 though.

But that is not reflected in the League table. It just shows Aston Villa -1 to the normal Joe Soap in the street.

I don’t like it when people start to notice us.  History tells us we then lose to Wimbledon at home 3-0.

Gerrard musta been shit but I only recall one pummelling, at Fulham. I think the table-creators have been adding up our goals conceded wrong.

Blasts from the past...I remember seeing Johnny MacLeod score for us direct from a corner, back in the good old bad old days...think Terry Hennessey went to Derby and Peter Storey-Moore to Arsenal...

Welcome back Moby old chap. How you keeping?

Not too bad thanks, Mr W. Still a bit (a-hem) 'mobility-challenged' but glass half full mentally. Hope you're well. Always read and enjoy your Birmingham Post articles. Certainly helps that the Boys are fulfilling the promise they were bought for at last, thanks in no small part to the Basque Magician. Reminds me of those Euro trips we made in the late 90s, specially the Bilbao visit. The Basques were such a blast, passionate, friendly. Unai is cut from the same cloth of course. Makes you wonder why Arsenal pushed him out. And a World Cup winning keeper-to-be. Haha! I don't post much here unfortunately but do like the match threads. Just shows the different ways folks here follow games; personally, the 'scorchio-gate' sub-thread was a bit of a laugh to read. Suppose it was because I could see a bit of both sides but nevertheless a 'scoorrchiiiiioooo' is nearly always Good News so a vote of thanks from me, PWS. Anyway, nice to hear from you Dave, hope you're all doing well, regards Mobes

I appreciate that comment. Thank you.

Our last blip clobbered us for half a dozen.

We were at -9 when Gerrard went after Fulham.  Won 4-0 against Brentford to go to -5 and then promptly lost 4-0 at Newcastle to go back to -9.
