How so? They are 2 points off top after their stumble today. Ok that will.be 3 points in a couple of hours but at "that rate" they will go into our game with a chance to go top before the final day

Star City is even more of a shithole than the area we currently play in. We aren't moving anywhere but if we ever did, the only way it would ever make sense would be tp move to the city centre. (Which will never be a viable option) Otherwise, there is no point.

Why? He shown absolutely nothing to suggest he will ever be a Premier League player, much less a player to start at one of the best teams in the country.

What a weak "midfield" we have had to put out. If Arsenal have an off day, we can still get a point here but we will need to defend for our lives. If they are on form. God help us. We miss Kamara so much ad it is but with Dougie out as well, I really don't have much hope.

Yep. And Jeremy Corbyn buttered my toast. Come on, I was just commenting on a previous post. I would much rather a greasy spoon for a fiver any day.

Didn't mean it that way. Apologies if it came across as such.

Awful day for us.

Missus has gone for Panda Boy.

Thats why I picked Vanillier. Came 2nd last year I think.

Thats actually a standard price at most 5 stars in London. Even the Hyatt Birmingham is £40 for 2 breakfasts and thats only a 4 star. We paid £32.50 each for breakfast at one hotel recently so £50 isn't that outrageous. Was an amazing buffet, although wasted on me as I can't eat that much in one go.

Absolutely no way! We can get something here. Go full strength and pick up a 2-2 draw. We may need to finish 4th as 5th is too dicey.

Yep. The DVB triple crown is on! Villa get CL Villa win the Europa Conference Blues go down Please let this happen!

I pick names I like, the missus goes for the colours. It's not scientific butvwe get the odd winner or place occasionally.

Going forward we lack so much without a proper right back. Overlaps etc... Plus as you say, we need him at CB badly. Carlos is nowhere near good enough.

My missus has gone for that. We know f*** all about it either. It's just tradition I suppose.

As its stands, a defeat at Huddersfield would leave them 4 points from safety with 3 games to go. I know they don't play them next but bloody hell that's a huge game for them.

Right then. Don't ever gamble apart from this and despite being 6,000 miles away I've continued the tradition. I've gone 20 quid each way on: Vanillier 10/1 Corach Rambler 7/1 Chemical Energy 40/1 What's everyone else gone for?

Thought Lucy Ward was good on co comms last night for our game. She has been good each tome I've heard her. Knowledgeable and insightful and not just filling a quota.

They are also claiming there were loads of empty seats at Villa Park last night for a European Quarter Final. I assume they mean the upper tier of the AWAY end? Idiots.

Yep. One poster says that they can full their new ground with football tourists and even said they could sell 100,000 tickets when they play Liverpool, to tourists alone. So their plan is to build a stadium far too big for them and fill it with tourists who support the away team.

They apparently believe it "irks us" that they carry the City's name. Er, no, Aston Villa is a majestic and unique name, unlike the boring and unoriginal City, United, Rovers or Wanderers. They also say it bothers us that their fans have a better reputation! Now where to start with that nonsense? They are known for having terrible support for a 2nd city club and those that do go are known for topping the arrest league and being violent, moronic w*****s. They are also saying we were laughing at them about their stadium but since last week not one of us has said a word about it on any forum. Lol, we haven't STOPPED taking thr p*** and never will. They still think they are the new Man City, forgetting that Man City have always had a good fanbase and that the financial landscape is unrecognisable now to when they were taken over. They really are a special bunch and I can't wait til they find out they've been missold a dream and rot in League one. We are not rattled, we are laughing at you. Idiots.

Yes and I covered that in my earlier post.

My point stands. They still have to play the bottom 2. We need them to lose tomorrow.

Nice anecdote, and you will always get the odd one, but its way off reality. The numbers are staggering in terms of support for the 2 big red clubs. Even the other r members of the sky 6 dont come anywhere near. Man cIty are irrelevant out here still. Villa will never have a huge Chinese fanbase and neither will any other English club. Its ALL about Man United and Liverpool here. I literally work with all these countries on football matters daily and have done for many years. I know what Im talking about.

I really think we need to match Spurs' result this weekend. If they win and we lose then I think we are done in the race for 4th, given they will be 3 points ahead with a game in hand and a far better goal difference. Added to that Burnley and Sheffield United are their last 2 games whilst ours a Liverpool and Palace, I dont think we would be able to make up the ground required during their difficult run of games. Huge weekend ahead.
