Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest pre match thingies

[dave.woodhall]

Sun's out, on the back of 2 away wins, Saturday 3pm kick off, bank holiday weekend, playing a team with dismal away form.

Can only mean one thing...

I know you're not being serious but this attitude that something's bound to go wrong is what's held us back for decades.

[Deano's Mullet]

I remember the last time we lost at home to Forest, it was not long after beating Inter in 1994, Bryan Roy conned the ref into a penalty (both home and away that season) so we were a goal down after about 2 minutes. We played well but like so many tail end BFR games we just couldn't score and Forest got a second from a mis hit shot from Steve Stone. We'll beat them today I reckon. 2-0

… a convincing home win and potentially 6th place and a positive goal difference.

[Toronto Villa]

Enjoy the game everyone. On a flight headed back to Toronto so won’t be watching but following on here. Hoping for a solid win and fun day out for all of the claret and blue persuasion today at Villa Park.

Villa are vying to register three consecutive Premier League home victories in a season for the first time since a streak of four from August to October 2007

Sorry but that is...fucking awful.

Emmanuel Dennis can equal the record for most defeats in a player's first 50 Premier League appearances: 37 by George McCartney of Sunderland and West Ham.

Dennis has scored in all three of his top-flight appearances against Aston Villa.

As for this, not quite sure what to make of it. We'll let him score a consolation in a 7-1 win, if it keeps the stats happy.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

I always look forward to our games but haven’t felt this optimistic in years! Great feeling on a beautiful Saturday morning.

Jealous of all those attending today, roar the boys on to stonking home victory.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

My head says a stuttering, edgy 1-1 draw against a team whose away record is the worst in the league . Never, ever forget this is Aston Villa FC!

Nice day though!

[rob_bridge]

I think if we score first and keep concentration we can give them a good thrashing

[Villa Lew]

I was thinking of bringing Ollie into my fantasy squad, but thought as soon as I do that, he's gonna stop scoring, so you'll be pleased to hear I've left him out. Going 3 nil Villa, Ollie, JJ and a first for big Jhon.

The excellent Villa 'You Tuber' Holy Trinity is over from Canada for the next 2 games. I hope he has a great time and 6 points to celebrate.

[curiousorange]

HRH and lad in the house today. Three points by Royal appointment.

[Martyn Smith]

I just have a feeling we're due an indifferent performance today, 1-1

[devilla]

Bailey starts again. Incredible.

[SamTheMouse]

Bailey starts again. Incredible.

To be fair he's started most of the games we've won. Maybe he's a lucky charm.
