Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Pre-Match

[Drummond]

Us going 1 up in the first 15 minutes would be perfect

Going 7 up with 15 to  go would be nicer still.

[Richard E]

I’ve had to skip the beers at our Christmas do this afternoon so that I could drive to this tonight, so I feel I am owed a convincing victory.

[Mister E]

It was on this day, 22 December, in 1970, that we beat Manchester United 2-1 at Villa Park, to reach the League Cup Final. That was some night, and some Christmas!

Oh yes; amazing night.

Left very early expecting travel chaos. Amazingly sailed through. Even the M6 was easy. Nervous about tonight though.  Just win Villa...

I think we will shall triumph. 
But there will be layers of jeopardy, concern and euphoria.   

We want none of that nonsense. Just massively boring 1-0 will suffice.

It’s disappointing that you are not agile enough to do both……..tut tut.

I obviously would be if it wasn’t for these pesky nitpicking nanny state laws about not being allowed to drive cars when you are three sheets to the wind.

Ina time not long ago you could have slept it off at the match.

Really sorry to be pedantic but it was on 23 December 1970!

Same here. Was expecting chaos on the M5 but it was quieter than normal

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

I'm flipping nervous. I keep getting flashbacks to our previous title challenge balls-ups: Wimbledon 1990 etc (yes, I'm that old)!

[LeeB]

Christmas is a time for joy and giving, but also a time to think of those less fortunate than ourselves.

Like Sheffield Utd for instance, who through no fault of their own face a major FUNERALLING only days before.

4-0

10.00 kick off here
Enforced semi sobriety to stay awake

[Deano's Mullet]

On this day in 1996 we thrashed Wimbledon 5-0
