Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

[cdbearsfan]

I stand to be corrected but think this is the dirty dozen + 1.

Manchester United
Manchester City
Chelsea
Arsenal
Spurs
Newcastle
Liverpool
Luton Town
Leicester City
West Ham
QPR
Wimbledon

Also Watford.

Yes, Watford, thank you.

The most annoying one for me is Leicester, other than those twats we’re Kings of The Midlands. Doesn’t look like we’ll get chance to redress that balance anytime soon.

Difficult game, no walkover, i'm going for 2-1 Villa.

To be fair I can think of three walkovers this season - it’s not something we tend to do. Agree we’ll need to be right at it.

v Walsall in the old third division. P4 W0 D3 L1

If Sunderland scrape a win tomorrow they are above Chelski. That's crazy.

We win, as good as qualified.

Tomorrow really is like a Champions League match.

COYVB.

And the gate money kept the ungrateful bastards in business.

I recall vividly the game against Sunderland in 1975 after we had already gained promotion at Sheffield Wednesday in midweek.
They had a huge following with 57,000 crammed into a vibrant Villa Park on a warm spring day.
They needed to win to get promoted and gave us a guard of honour as the teams came onto the pitch.
We despatched them 2-0, the imperious and very young Sir Brian on the score sheet.
Same again tomorrow please Villa.

If I remember correctly, the other scorer was Ian Ross with a penalty to put us 1 up
Apparently if we’d have been winning when the penalty was given Jimmy Cumbes was going to take it, as every outfield player that day had scored that season.

We were locked for that one after my uncle insisted we had time for another pint in the Yenton, Erdington Only game we missed that season between us.  Got season tickets following season.
