Aston Villa v Southampton Pre-Match Thread

[Dave]

Southampton are shocking defensively but half-decent going forward.

Any particular part of their forward line you've got your eye on?

I think the relatively unknown Archer might need keeping an eye on.

[SamTheMouse]

I'd definitely stick with Mings. Quite apart from anything else, his passing the other night was every bit as good as Torres'.

Archer, you say? I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

This is a good point. As well as his all round defensive excellence, his distribution was also very good on Wednesday, no discernible drop off from Torres. Hope he has a run of games now.

At home in December to an Archer led side who are bottom of the league. What could possibly go wrong?

[PaulWinch again]

Hate playing these, please batter them.

I remember trekking up from Winchester to watch us play them when we lost 1-0 to a Jay Rodriguez dive and a pen from that conspiracy theorist loon.

The referee / authorities 100% fucked us over in that Sheffield Utd game . They did not want us top at Christmas.

[Sexual Ealing]

Fucking hell.

[cdbearsfan]

Fucking hell.

Come on, now. Let's hear him out.

[VillaTim]

At least one clear pen , the Bailey disallowed goal . Etc etc .

[cdbearsfan]

See, I knew he'd have evidence.

[VillaTim]

Exhibit A . Go read the match thread .

[cdbearsfan]

I don't need to, I've already got all the evidence I need. Sexual Ealing has gone directly from burying his head in cocaine to burying it in the sand.

Ha , genuinely there were some baffling decisions on the night .
