MikeAVFC Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 As said previously I really think we'll do it. Our big game players will make the difference when the pressure's on, even if we are on the back foot for long spells. **** nervous, excited, everything. Can't believe it's only Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need everyone on their game full of confidence in their own ability. We're Aston Villa, so please my friend, keep the faith. Well, leaving gaps at the back and at 2 goals down at half time, it's a bit late to say "keep it tight lads". I'd love to have faith in our ability to turn up and be on our a-game. Trouble is, I've actually watched us a lot this season (albeit from afar) and the QPR game after the wolves high, and then the inability to recover from it was only one case of us totally disappearing football wise. On the plus side, we have got a lot of positive results by not playing anything like actual football, but playing incredibly well without the ball and nicking something up the other end. It's not pretty, I really don't like it, but the price of trying to outplay Fulham might be very high indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We outplayed Wolves and ripped them a new a***hole and they are a better team than Fulham (SHA beat them ffs!). Our manager and players just need to believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I see fulham seem to be boasting about the size of the Wembley pitch and how it wikl suit them and not us. Is it true the dimensions of the post between Wembley and villa park are really different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I saw @BOF mention VP is 1m narrower than Wembley and at Fulham but the same length as Wembley which is 5m longer than at Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Looking forward to seeing if all the bluster on Twitter is true - that Villa fans have bought half of Fulham's allocation. Would be very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlersrs Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Rumours are that Fulham are lining up song sheets and clappers just in case there fans have forgotten the words to there most popular songs. Amusing 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if we can guarantee that the Villa that played Wolves off the park turn up, just that out of all the games I've seen this season, that Wolves game was the standout best 90 minutes by far. It isn't the norm unfortunately, and our limping into 4th spot since then hasn't included us tearing ayone a new one. I know we CAN POSSIBLY hit those heights, I'd rather we play tight, make no mistakes and be organised then if we see everyone really is on the boil again we can grow into the game and tear them a new one. I'm just saying we should be looking to firstly not concede and be organised, then take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fear if we go out there with a defensive mind set, it could be to their advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick detour to the bookies on the way paid for my trip (22/1 first scorer and correct score double). Hope your dream comes true and eases the pain of not being there a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
