Villa v Fulham - Pre-match thread

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

I'm actually more nervous about today than our next game, away at Spuds. Hopefully, it's just the pessimistic Villa fan of old in me, and today turns out to be a formality, but with the way results went yesterday, potentially allowing us to overtake Spurs when we face em, I'm worried we'll shoot ourselves in the foot like we did last week.

*and it's my birthday tomorrow, 48 years young, so don't fuck it up Villa!  UTV

Hopefully we'll actually score today, whereas last week we could have played till Christmas without doing so!

I'll be optimistic for you: 2-1 to us and Ollie for both and Emi to redeem himself in the league.

Many happy returns for tomorrow!

Anyone know any pubs that are showing in in town or south Brum? Do pubs still stream them like they used to or has that been stamped out?

A routine, uneventful, pretty forgettable 2-0 win, continuing our run of home wins but ending our 100% record this season of having scored 3+ goals in every home game. Fulham seem a bit of a non-entity this season; I've barely noticed them.

Suspect they will come for a 0-0 or hope to nick somehing via a set piece.
Up to us to be on the front foot which is always a bit of a concern

Well it hasn't been very much of a concern so far at home, has it?

These useless never-finished-new-stand London fannies are going to get totally fucking funeralled.

8-0

Zaniolo, Zaniolo, Zaniolo, Bailey, Watkins, Watkins, Watkins, Konsa.

We'll be laying goals all over them.

I like Fulham well enough, they'd be a contender for the coveted 'If I Really Had to Support a Team Down Here' trophy. So I'll let them off with a 4-0 light tonking.

Managed to get a last minute ticket. First game since playoff final Vs Derby... Don't disappoint me lads!

Fulham are woven into our history in some bad moments but maybe long term for the good.
We got beat 2-0 at home in an infamous fa cup tie - think was one of Little’s last matches ?
Losing the play off final - gutting though it was at the time, saved us from the slippery owner at the time.
Losing 3-0 last season in probably one of the worst performances in memory, a penalty, an own goal, a sending off. Goodbye SG, hello Emery.
