No such problem for the smaller leagues in the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scousers will probably be at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if Purslow realises that Gerrard is not good enough. Every sane football person have gotten by now, so you wonder how bad we need to be against Southampton before he get sacked. I already have started to worry about the team selection, I’m sure it will be a new level of stupidity. And the match will be on the tv too, that means all of England get a chance to laugh at us.

Dillon66 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Rumour now is that some games (including ours) may get canned due to a shortage of outside broadcast equipment and operators, as they're required for the funeral. If Sky can't arrange a crew to cover a match on a Friday night and then another event 3 days later, I'd suggest they're in the wrong business. If I was Villa, I'd be telling Sky that come what may the game will be going ahead - if they're not there to cover it, tough titty......and we still want paying, by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if your post was a sarcastic one, but elements of our fanbase are so weird at times, how hard is it to just get behind our team for 90 minutes rather than fantasise about it going wrong so the manager gets the sack? I'm not convinced by Gerrard either yet - he's learning on the job and I'm not sure that's right at a club as big as ours - but we'll still be Villa fans whether we win 5-0 or lose 5-0 on Friday and let's face it, in Feb 2019 we were 13th in the Championship so we've all known worse (that's as bad as it's got for me but I'm not 30 years old yet, my old man remembers - and actually really fondly recalls - the third division days!) The amount of adult Villa fans I see wetting the bed is honestly embarrassing when we're in a great place in terms of solvency (we were closer than people think to going bust in 2018 before NSWE saved us). I dream of a home fanbase that for the 90 minute just gets behind them no matter what like you see on the continent. I've been to a couple of games in Central Europe this calendar year, Slavia Prague being notable in the sense that the support was immense despite the fact the team were behind for most of the game, it was almost irrelevant what was happening on the pitch. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bielesibub Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I know too many Southampton supporters, it has to be a Villa win. I support Aston Villa, warts and all - which amongst other things also includes acknowledging that there is a stand called the Doug Ellis stand.

VillaChris Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Can see Coutinho and Ings starting this. Coutinho been on the bench last few and was better v Man. City. Home game v Southampton last season was comfortably his best 70 minutes for us, they couldn't pick him up in midfield all game. And we surely will create chances so would rather have Ings v his old club on the end of them rather than Ollie. Can still have Bailey one side and Ramsey the other, please no shoehorning McGinn into this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Do you remember when we used to have matches that used to kick off at 3pm on Saturdays. What a barmy notion. Old man shouting at sky I know. We usually struggle when we are expected to win. It will be a totally different set up to the City game as we will have to take the initiative and could be in a danger to the counter attacks. However being unusually optimistic and going for a 2-1 win. Watkins and Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2022 A win and a good performance would be a boost for those championing Gerrard. I think it would mean he’d earn himself more time, how much I don’t know. A defeat and I think he’s in real trouble. Poor start, international break looming, other clubs already making changes… With that in mind, a middling draw with us remaining in purgatory is nailed on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
