Aston Villa v Wolves Pre-Match Thread

God, can you imagine slipping up to this bunch of losers? Even if their new manager is the hottest man in the Premier League.

The closest thing we have to meaningful historical local rivals. But like the rest of that cohort they need a strong reminder that they are rivals only in the sense of being a bus ride away.

5-0.

They have a had a week for the new boss impact to take affect, so we need to be a little wary.

That said, we need to smash the fuckers all the way back to yam yam land.

I always look a sequences and probability so you have team in fine form against a team who haven't won yet this season so there is potential for a surprise result. That was until I found out that Wolfs had acutally won, albeit in the LC.

That's good enough for me and we really should have far too much for them, they can be a bit of a pain so I can see us conceding, more then once  perhaps. Those mind the gap days seem a world a way now and that period was one of the oddest in my time watching football. A manufactured, one sided and daft rivalry where previous there had been a distant respect alongside a feeling of irrelevance about the fortunes of either side from either side.

Anyway, lets send the 70's throwbacks home in misery to the Town that is still in lockdown judging by the amount of people in the pubs a few weeks ago.

3-2

Could be the first ten niller in the Premier League, it'll be that one sided.

We're class, they're shit.

If Malen starts it's going to be a very bad day for them.

Another 2-1 for me.

Could be the first ten niller in the Premier League, it'll be that one sided.

If we win 10-0, that will likely mean a hat-trick for Ollie. Dilemmas, dilemmas.

Not if Malen starts.

Well of course I'd take it but it's never gonna happen sadly.

Can we please win relatively comfortably? I don't expect 5 or 6, but can we just have a relatively routine 2-0 win with at least one of the goals coming in the first half so I don't have to be particularly nervous at any point?

Even last night, which involved 89 of the most comfortable, non-nerve-racking Villa related minutes ever, managed to serve up some tension at the end whereby we conceded a silly goal and they then got a set piece. I want a nice, relaxing Sunday, please. I appreciate we did win 4-0 in our most recent league game at home.

[RamboandBruno]

Martinez
Cash
Konsa
Torres
Digne
Kamara
McGinn
Tielemans
Watkins
Rogers
Malen

Strong bench just in case with Beundia, Onana, Bogarde, who can all do a job.

4-0, Watkins, Malen, Rogers, McGinn

[simon ward 50]

Please win Villa.

[SoccerHQ]

Fancy a 3-0 in this.

Wolves offered very little when they fell behind to Palace last weekend.

Think Edwards will pack their midfield in that one but we have all our CMs fit so can counter that and also think we'll go similar to the Burnley game and start Malen as support striker as he'll have plenty of space in this.

Chance to go 3rd if we win and could stay there if Chelsea lose to Arsenal.

We need to f#ckin smash these "Mind the Gap" twats!
