Go Ahead Eagles v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

I have been trying to find that scene from Scrubs where between these two drop someone's liver or heart on the floor.  It was very funny.  I can never seem to find it.

Judging by the state of Digne's ankle, Maatsen will be starting. Wouldn't mind seeing Sancho given a start alongside him.

I'm not sure Sancho at Centre Back is the best idea you've ever had.

I call it Holland as they don't like it and i'm petty over football.

I mentioned this a while ago to a Dutch family we’re friends with
They said they call it Holland as well and it’s a load of overblown bollocks
same level as forest fans getting annoyed when called Notts and west ham fans pretending everyone’s always called their old ground the Boleyn and not Upton Park

[PeterWithesShin]

And Netherlands is a stupid name. Sounds like it should be in some shit romantic novel from a hundred years ago. "As they embraced their netherlands touched"

[paul_e]

Yeah, I work with a lot of dutch people and I sometimes say Holland, especially when talking about football, and I've never had anyone seem even remotely bothered by it.

Didn't have the heart to tell you, it doesn't exist.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrooooong.

I'm a British Tourist and I'm very, very rude.
I hate the stinking foreigners
hate their stinking food
I don't like French or Germans
I don't care for Belgians much
But worst of all worst of all
I hate the Dutch
The Dutch, the Dutch
I hate them worse than dogs.
They live in windmills
and mince around in clogs.
They don't have any manners
They don't say 'thanks' or 'please'
all they eat is tulips
and stinking gouda cheese...
I'm a British tourist with a countenance severe
I love to strike the foreign type
And box their poxied ears
The slimy crawling
stench appalling
snotty grotty Dutch
The Dutch are mad
Their fingers stuck in dikes
They use the wrong side of the road
And ride around on bikes
They don't have any manners,
don't have any brains.
There's only one race worse than them
and that's... THE DANES!

Hopefully we don't slack off like we did at Bruges (league stage) or Monaco, or they'll be dancing in the streets of Go Ahead tomorrow evening.

[RamboandBruno]

Don’t know anything about these. No complacency, some need rest, but think Unai will nearly always play Rogers and Kamara if fit. Onana is just back, so three games in 10 days might be too much (including Belgium game).

Martinez
Cash
Konsa
Torres
Maatsen
Kamara
Bogarde
Malen
Watkins
Rogers
Guessand

2-0, Watkins, Malen

Tomorrow ?

Is this a- what day is this?

I meant Thursday of course.

We have played four other sides with a bird in their name.
Swansea are one, who are the other three ?

One of them you have to go back to the 19th century.
One of them we played in Europe and it is their correct full name .
The other we played in a one off game (think Swansea above).

*Willing to be corrected if there are more.

Walsall Town Swifts in their first game.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Walsall Town Swifts in their first game.

I just knew you would get that.

PS. Things such as Heanor Town/Dukla Pibram don't count.
