Preston North End vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Clampy]

Whichever version of Bailey turns up , what he does seem to do is pull the opposition defence apart and occupy the mind of a couple of players. I'm not sure I'd start him but I think Emery will play him to start the game but doubt he will play the full game .

Very true. The thought of Madueke being in Bailey's role is exciting. Pressure really on Bailey to perform now.

Doesn't he play on the opposite flank to Bailey?

The amazon docuseries coming up will give insight to Bailey off field life. His partner is going to feature and if it’s remotely disruptive will only add to likelihood of being sold.

Sorry Footy, I normally enjoy your posts and don't like to see top posters like Drummond and Olney pick on you but can you please stop banging-on about this Real Housewives Of Kingston/Solihull nonsense?!

No, Madueke plays mainly on the right.

Apparently these are quite dirty bastards.  Try and kick us off the park.  According a Wednesday fan I know.

Well Chris Kavanagh is the ref tomorrow, the idiot who dished out something like 16 yellow cards in home game against Bournemouth.

A card-happy referee against a team from a lower division should, theoretically, be to our advantage. We will see.

Their dirtiest player, Ledson, is currently suspended!


They have a lot of first choice players out one way or another (about 7!) and there is also a strong rumour that their goalie has been injured in training.

Go as strong as possible with the starting line up, if we can have the game as good as won after 60 minutes then we start to rotate with an eye to the next game against a knackered Brighton.

Think it's the opposite but with caution. Get through 65 mins then deploy the cavalry.

Thanks.  I know Mads’ dad he works at our company.  Mads seems like a good midfielder.

Who’s Milly?

Who’s Milly?

Lives next door but one to my mom. Lovely lady - 90+. I went to school with her son who now lives in Brighton. He ended up married to the young lady who was initially bride when he was best man for his best mate. Always brings a smile when I think about it. Especially as she was quite promiscuous back in the day and it seems like he was the one when the music stopped. She was a nurse. So it's obviously true what they say.

All the best  hope we win!!
Signing off now and let’s all keep our mothers in our prayers.

Milly is Osmajic - the one who bit a Blackburn player and is accused of racially abusing a Burnley player. 'A character' I think they say!
