Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa pre match thread

Yep, horrific incident with Richard Wright. Lee Hendrie scored a lovely goal that day.

There’s a good bit of complacency on here.
I hope the players are really up for it.

Is it really complacency for fans of a Champions League team to expect to win against a newly promoted team who were in League 1 18months ago?

It's fine on here occasionally. As for the players, I'm not really sure Unai does complacency.

Famously, the players all make sure to read the H&V pre-match thread before deciding how seriously to take a fixture. It really matters to them what we losers, perverts and miscreants think about the game.

No the first half against Wolves look a bit like it, but it may have been tiredness. Unai was obviously very unhappy with that.

I may be all three

Went to the cup game in 81 when a bloke I vaguely knew from school lent me the money because he had no-one to go with. We’re still good mates to this day.

And at least one more time when a geezer called Killer from Castle Vale ‘borrowed’ a lorry from his work to take about 15 of us in the back. We kept it at the bloke from the paragraph above’s house on the Friday night, and he drove it over to Killer’s house on Saturday morning, and had two accidents in the first mile of the journey. (My mate had never driven a lorry before, and hadn’t even passed his driving test). Killer was caught on CCTV taking the lorry from his workplace and got the sack on the Monday morning.

There may have been other visits that I’ve forgotten.

This Ipswich game is all well and good but we need talk about Bayern. Will there be an 'early' thread like we did for Young Boys of Berne.
I'm ultra excited about Bayern Munich match.

[olaftab]

If we can keep Paul Mariner quiet we should be ok.

I want Geddes to properly celebrate when he scores.

[brontebilly]

I think we will win comfortably. The three promoted teams look miles off it so far.

If someone starts one. If they don't, there won't be.

And I bet we lost......

Hope so, it would be nice to keep a clean sheet one day soon in the Prem .

As I'm a Villa fan in exile ive been to Ipswich a few times over the last few years and make no mistake this is a side capable of getting results against most team so we need to be sharp and come out of the blocks quickly then rest players for BM. 

A good ground for opposition fans to visit though with a big pub directly over the road from the station designated for away fans.  Always has 5/6 real ales as well as the usual keg stuff and is no more than a 10 minute walk to the ground

I think Ipswich will score but Villa win 1-2 or 1-3
