Villa v Fulham - Pre-match thread

[Risso]

Hopefully we see a big reaction after last Sundays debacle .

It wasn't a debacle. What nonsense.

It is nonsense. No-one seems to mention that Forest were excellent.

Saying Forest were excellent is as much of a nonsense as calling it a debacle. They were poor, we were worse.

[algy]

I think they finally finished La Sagrada Familia this year, didn't they ?

Think they did.

Probably marks me out as the uncultured moron that I am, but I went there about 20 years ago and thought it was shit. I mean, obviously they've put a load of effort in to it and that, but it really wasn't my cup of tea at all.

Edit: still under construction according to Wikipedia.

Bound to be a disappointment after St. Giles.

[AV84]

We could win this tomorrow and still be in 5th place! It's so annoying, but I guess as long as we're in touch with those above us I shouldn't complain.

[usav]

Much like the Luton game, we don’t need to be at our best, but we need to be clinical and efficient.

They did exactly what they set out to do. They shit out the top scorers in the division whilst scoring twice themselves.

It may not have been attractive, but it was most certainly effective, and for that I'd say they did excellently.

I know what you mean, but I can't agree. They were functional and we had an off day.  Play that game another 9 times and we wouldn't lose many more of them I don' think. 

Anyway, I expect Fulham to try the same tactics, so fingers crossed we're a bit less encouraging at the back and more incisive in front of goal.

[Meanwood Villa]

It's going to be similar to the last three matches in terms of how the opponents play, fingers crossed we have enough to do the business.

A mate of mine who's a Liverpool fan moans about how nearly every team comes to Anfield to kill the game and frustrate. I used to think this was typical scab 6 whinging with no good reason but are we starting to be in the same boat now?

Isn't everywhere?

It's got a big mural of the devil getting medieval on some sinner's arses - that's my favourite bit.

You had me at getting medieval, I'll have to check it out when I visit.

Yeah, we're becoming top six whingers too. Which is nice.

They weren’t.
We were poor.

Wow, your bar for excellent is ridiculously low. You'd be a great boss to work for

Forest played well, stop being a div.

Stop being a div , they really didn't , they were functional we gifted them 2 goals and fannyed about with the ball a lot .
