Popular Post chrisp65 Posted August 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2016 there wasn't a single 'lucky' tradition that worked for me and my Villa last year watching the game, ignoring the game, lucky socks, pre match masturbation, celibacy, going shopping so I'm free of dumb rituals this season, bring it on 1:2 Villa 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although would prefer Okore over Baker and I'd still like to see Veretout come into the fold. Probably for Westwood. I'd prefer Amavi too, but I'm not sure RDM thinks he's ready, so I think we're more likely to see Aly (or even Bennett). I prefer Okore too, but in most of the preseason Elphick and Baker were teamed up. Maybe that means nothing though. I wouldn't have a problem with Veretout coming back in to midfield, if I'm honest though, I'm still not sure exactly where he plays the best or what he actually does well.

Richie k Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 could loose this, but it will be with a team we dont have starting in a few weeks so il get over it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decamoto Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 3-1 to Wednesday for me. I reckon we're completely underestimating this league and will take a few weeks to get to grips with it. Wont stop me from being ridiculously excited though. Have started to really enjoy Villa again this pre season for the first time in about 5 years. Literally cannot wait for the season to start. Long may it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm so excited for tomorrow. Grew up in Sheffield and been waiting for this fixture to happen again for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I don't think a narrow loss would be a disaster add long as we give a decent account of ourselves. A big loss with more than a few goals conceded would severely dent the confidence though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Win, lose or draw but as long as we show fight and character I'll be hopeful for the season. I'd kinda like us to concede first just to see what kind of reaction the players give. Hopeful for some positive signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) I have a conundrum. Its live here at half past one in the morning. Do I stay up and watch it and sleep at work, or do I record it, avoid any news, and tell anyone who wants to talk to me about football just to shut the hell up?

Withnail Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 So the match day thread here will be my only sort of live game day. I work and don't get other coverage. Going else where I will see the result. If folk commenting on the game could put the time on the game clock as you post, it would make reading this a little bit more live for us playing catch up. It doesn't even take everyone. Just a time stamp every now and again makes it all feel a little bit more live. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa 3 - 1 this is the part where it sucks being in the championship.... I'm a baker so I'll be at work at 1.30am. Normally i would listen to the Premier League on my phone but no such privilege with the championship. But hell im shift manager.... im seriously considering putting my laptop on the counter and watching while i work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
