Aston Villa v AFC Bournemouth Pre Match

[Stu]

Just been reminded that we signed Tommy Elphick from this lot in 2016.

Seeing online so posters saying that there are still quite a few tickets available.  Looks like wont be a sellout

Not suprising when you think we had CL game vs bologna and palace in cup next week

Ticket Update: Roughly 350 GA tickets left. All stands available though mostly singles.

350 GA that seems alot. The pricing is all wrong

They're the cheapest league tickets of the season, and nearly every home ticket had been sold before Bournemouth returned half of their allocation ten days ago.

I have no beef with Bournemouth, but 11K home attendances and less than half away allocation take up is  piss poor in this age of the best league in the world.

Makes it look even worse when you see some of the crowds the championship pull in - even the dog shitters are getting 26+k each week in the 3rd div

He's back there now, presumably as coach, noticed him on the bench last week. We also got Mings from them. Twice.

He was the lad who should have walked down at their place wasn't he?

I thought it was Semenyo

Another three-point in the bag.We might even go third in the league. Onwards and upwards!!

We will be 3rd the second the game kicks off. Arsenal don't play til Sunday.

That was Semenyo (sp?) I think.

I couldn’t get three together, and searched long and hard for two together. This puts me in the position of having to take one child tomorrow and the other one on Wednesday to avoid accusations of favouritism.

Meaning that, much as I’d love to spend time with Wifey, I now have to go to the Villa twice instead 😉

Elphick used to have some odd pre match rituals

I know mate. The train rides, the pre-match burgers, the football, the chippie on the way home. Have they decided the new years’ honours yet?

I reckon this be a hard fought 2-1 Villa win. Bournemouth are no mugs as proven by their relatively comfortable 2-0 victory over Arsenal, even though the gunners were reduced to 10 men with Saliba's red card last week.

[Percy McCarthy]

^^ Yeah, probably the best side we will have played in the league so far, bar Arsenal.

I think Semenyo would get in our team at the moment, with Bailey out of sorts. And I hope at some time in the future, he does.
