I like the addition of 'hrs' to the time 😂

Anyway, they'll cheat and win.

Us 0 Them 1.
 
Diaby og as he lobs Marshall from the half way line.

Martinez was dropped by Emery shortly before ko for going into away dressing room and hiding all their shirts.

Watkins sent off for jumping into away section to Kung Fu kick Sean Bean who has been shouting insults about his tropical fish.

A much tougher game with Wilder back in the hotseat. They'll be well organised and may take some time to break down, but on the back of our recent performances and insane home record, I'm fully expecting to be singing

"We are toppa the league say we are toppa the league" as I'm leaving the ground.

A 3.0 win

Had Heckingbottom still been about I would be proposing 6.0

I think the last time we knew that a win would take us top of the league was also a Friday night.. And we lost 3-0 and Patrick Bamford scored a hatrick..

Yeah I remember listening to that one on TalkShite. F***ing depressing. Which is why we must not go in with a We'll Walk This attitude. I think a convincing win for us but no steamrollering and not without scares. 3-1

If we win we're top for at least 21 1/2hrs and if the game the next day finishes in a draw then... this is all surreal, frankly. Am so glad to have got two tickets together to this one. I may have had to fork out £85 for them but right now this feels like great VFM...

It would be insanely Villa to just lose this 2-1 after two men sent off and a dramatic own goal. Like Liverpool-Spurs earlier this year.

Doug back will be a boost, especially with Bouba out. Hopefully Tielemans too, although do we maybe play the Donk as a more direct replacement for Kamara?
