Don't have to feed, bath or put a highway to bed and no-one complains if you drive over one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win and I will walk around the rest of the day on cloud 9 reading every bit of Villa related stuff I can find If we lose then I refuse to engage with the online world**This will not happen as we are destined for top 4. Regardless of the outcome, I take solace in that the universe is chaotic and it's nobody's fault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No children (yet), so it will just be myself, the Mrs, and the dog watching in bed. Not a shabby way to spend the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Feels an absolutely massive game this. Really hope it’s one of those special atmospheres at Villa Park to get us over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what he said, it sounds like their gonna put big emphasis on their defence dominating and go from there. I'd take emery's tactical fluidity overs howe's every time.

bobzy Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Kamara missing is just such a huge blow. I worry about that area of the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo's Socks Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I've actually got the jitters this morning. First time in ages I'm this nervous/excited about a game, it feels like it's a massive game in terms of how far we've come. Shame we're looking a little light depth-wise, we need whoever is starting to be on their game from the off. I'd fancy Emery to out-think Howe, it's just whether we have the personnel to carry out his plan. In most places I rate our lads man-for-man, but the centre of the park concerns me. Kamara is a huge loss, weve been lucky with the teams we've faced without him being shite recently, but this lot I feel will press that area from the start. Whoever is playing that role has to be on it. That's the key area for me today. Win that midfield battle and we win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 On the WM phone in last night Daz the Spaz reckons in an interview, Callum Wilson allegedly replied to the comment that Villa are currently on fire with "tell em the fire brigades coming". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 This is the real litmus test. I really wish we weren’t missing so many players. I think this is going to be another game where we are going to have to defend well and take chances when they arrive. Newcastle are a really well organised team that posses players of quality. My heart says we win again, my head thinks Newcastle are that year further down the road that us and will pick up the 3 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I'm predicting a boring nil nil. Think it would suit both sides, can see Emery and Howe both trying to stop each other and it killing the game. Wouldn't be upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cridontour Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 3-2 to us with a last minute winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Newcastle are the favourites according to the odds. Would love to see us win this but with the injuries we have I thnik we might just be playing them at the wrong time. We have a chance though but will certainly need a bit of luck. UTV!

VILLAMARV Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Despite all the fun and games of the faux rivalry, they're a well organised team on a great run this season. Midfield is key as mostly everyone has said. That Guimaraes guy is some player. playing through injury or not he's got the ability to boss this game. Shame we're missing Cash and Kamara but such an opportunity now until the end of the season. 2-2 today I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
