AvonVillain Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Really up for this game, and so will the fans be at VP! Think the fans will make a real difference tomorrow... Would love to sign the season off by beating Spurs and Chelsea, and as I said, helping Leicester. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Chelsea are really really good. As good as City since Tuchel arrived for me. They also need to win so it'll be tough. But this is a rotter of a fixture for them. Fans back in, a club with a lot of positive feeling and a team that will run hard for 90 mins. Be great to score early and really get it rocking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I take it we're probably going to go with the same XI that played the other night and maybe give Elmo and Taylor some minutes at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Just hope there is no booing if we play bad like the spuds fans did. First game in so long for fans I hope it has a party atmosphere. Enjoy the day if any of you are going. 1-0 win for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AJ Posted May 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2021 To all those who are going to the game, I am very jelly but I sincerely hope you all have a wonderful time. Please help this team feel the love. Regardless of the result, they have been fantastic this season, and deserve to be appreciated. Even if they implode and make silly mistakes, think of the season and don't cast overall judgement on the one game. It has been a tough season for everyone. Let's not be like Spurs. Instead, let the players know we are on their side. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with booing is it only takes a few and it sounds like everyone in the ground. Even if a few people do it it sounds very loud. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen as I never like it as it doesn’t help our team, it helps the opposition. I really hope that even if we lose people don’t boo as this is the first time Ollie, Emi, Bertrand and Matty Cash (if he’s in the stadium) will be in a VP with fans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I really hope that this game doesn't flip the positivity around the club at the moment. I'm sure it won't. Very jealous of those who are going and hope they enjoy it for the 90 mins. I'm going to miss watching this team over the summer. It's been a wonderful season. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 We have been poor when coming up against an energetic, pressing team in recent months. Chelsea will not give us a second of rest so it will be interesting to see how we cope with that now Jack is back. I suspect Dean will bring Luiz back in for Marvelous, although hopefully he will stick with our team from Spurs. The result is kind of irrelevant although a win would be lovely. A good performance and no injuries will do me though. Is it too greedy to hope for a Grealish goal? UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robtaylor200 Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 I so miss match days, Getting my colours on (deciding which retro shirt will do the job) Driving to Cannock to pick up my lad, then WM on the radio as we drive to the game and park in Electric Avenue. Walk past the scrap yard and under the bridge. Sausage, bacon and cheese burgers from the van by the Social club, eaten by the time we reach the church. Then the feeling of hope and excitement as we walk up the steps back of the Holte (I used to race my old chap up here in my younger days) Then as an oldie I have to go to the loo while the lad gets the beer in, just as I did when I was with my dad. We join in the chanting for a while and then when the pint is drunk we walk up the steps to the upper Holte out into the sunlight and get the first glimpse of Villa Park and the pitch normally take another photo. We get to our seats and wait for the kick off and that moment all our fans are as one. No arguing about the team selection etc. So to those lucky guys that are going today, remember us at home and cheer and shout like there is no tomorrow. Win lose or draw enjoy being back 25 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono62 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 As good as Chelsea have been with Tuchel in charge, they got spanked by West Brom so it is possible to beat them. I would like Jaden Ashley Fabian Tyrone Thaddeus Philogene-Bidace to have more game time today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
