Aston Villa v Liverpool Pre Match Thread

Not to worry though, the comimg of Ragnarök appears to be next on the list of terrible events, so it's not like we'd get to see us or The Man City Conquering Tottenham play in the Champions League anyway.

Some are mentally shot and it appears to be the fans.

I posted something about this a while back. Being largely a very good side and needing to stay top four is in a way as draining as battling relegation, the margins are similarly fine and the pressure to be consistently good is absolutely intense.

Obviously it’s much much better than fighting for survival but it does make you respect the mentality of consistently top sides.

I know right. I'm exactly as mentally shot as Ads implies, and then I look at our W column - it's mental! It's as many wins we got in the regular league season of our promotion year - when we finished 5th - having played 10 whole fewer games. No wonder the players are mentally a bit out of it, I fuckin' am and I do so, so little in my life.

Bingo can someone explain Bingo ?

Bingo from the banana splits.  Look at his teeth and tell me they aren’t Klopps.

People go on about The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and The Wire; but has The Banana Splits ever been surpassed as classic TV ?

No, it hasn't.

Yeah it starts to explain why C115y reverted to cheating.  .

Resorted, even.

I agree, but I think we'll get used to it. By the time we were relegated, I was pretty numb to it all. It's probably why Spurs fans aren't massively bothered too, as they've done it plenty recently

Agree . Almost felt like relief when we went down. We'd been shite for a few years and we almost needed to go down to rebuild .

Unai has asked me to bring my boots on Monday. I said, on one condition that we don’t play walking football. He said, thanks but, I’ll look for someone else then!!

Walking football?

[martin o`who??]

Its been a long and undeniably enjoyable season but it really has caught up with us now - you only had to look at Thursdays bench for arguably our most importamt game in years to see that. I can only see a Liverpool win here, perish the thought that we might piss on the Klopp wank-fest - but it wouldnt half be nice....

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

We pulled a superb performance and win out at Arsenal when few of us expected it. Hopefully we have one more such game in our locker.

The ground needs to be rocking, letting these players know how appreciative we are of such a superb enjoyable season.

Villa 2 - 1 Liverpool

Walking football?

I think Skerra's referring to what Fulham are doing just now.

[Allan C]

I think we’ll get something here. 1-1

[Bad English]

Walking football?

We've been playing Walking Dead football for a while

[Rigadon]

Win and it’s done.  We can do it.
