Popular Post rubberman Posted May 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2023 What joy to have a final day match that really matters (in a good way, rather than relegation). Can't wait for it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably right, but getting back into Europe is something I’ve waited for like forever and at times felt was almost impossible. It’s a massive step. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't already spend north of 200 on ticket/travel/hotel I'd genuinely consider binning the festival off for it. Our biggest match in years. Similar to @Don_Simon - Booked when Europe didn't seem that possible. Already sorted it for a friend to text me Score updates. The problem is I'll be that nervous about the match I won't be able to enjoy myself! I'll be there too! Although I live in Leeds now so I'm not as upset about it not being in the Midlands too anymore. Previous years I've had good signal and will be with another football fan so might time a toilet / food break with the last 20 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to watch some of the match in between them and Kids In Glass Houses and then hopefully catch the last 5/10 minutes of the match after KIGH's set. If signal is good enough.

villan501 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Travelling up from Essex with my 13yr old son, said to him a few weeks back there's no better time to be a villa fan everything has changed and for the better. This will be our 4th game this season and everythime we've been goals have flown in. Chelsea lost 2 nil Leicester lost 4 2 Bournmouth won 3 0 I bought the villa away top before bournmouth game as previous two games I'd worn the home top the villa blue away top will do Sunday. This season has been immense the direction and progress unbelievable all I ask on Sunday is Villa have no regrets after the game,give it there all and what will be will be, Europe is a great acheivement and we can do it but have no given right to it, let's setup correct and play our game we have some fantastic players and the atmosphere will be electric.

John Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) We have won our last six home games, so it's going to be lucky 7 on Sunday. Coral's have us as 5/4 favourites for the game and the bookies are usually right aren't they? We have won our last three games against them and it's been 5 games since they beat us (which was their only win against us at Villa Park). In the previous 25 league games between the two clubs, we have won 13 and drawn 8 of them. I see that Brighton's owner is giving everyone at the club a 20% one-off salary bonus for qualifying for Europe for the first time, so hopefully the team will have been on a binge for several days, when they turn up on Sunday. Come on you Lions! Edited May 23, 2023 by John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I can see the like of Mac Allister and Caicedo not starting this, as given they may leave in the summer, they'll likely start their final home game against City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted May 23, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2023 We've only had 2 brand new goalscorers in the team this season. That's players who hadn't scored for us before this season. They are Lucas Digne & Morgan Sanson. The last time we only had 2 new goalscorers was the 96/97 season (Carl Tiler & Saša Ćurčić, both of whom only ever scored once for us). The last time we had fewer than that was the 90/91 season when only a certain Dwight Yorke added his name to the list with his first 2 goals for the club (home to Derby & Norwich). I wonder will anyone else new add their names to the list. Kamara or Duran maybe Only twice in our history have we had a season where no new goalscorers were added. 1913/14 & 1930/31, the latter of which is also our record goalscoring season of 131 goals. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Newry_Villan Posted May 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2023 Stoked for this, my first game back in about 15 years. My sons first game, finished his chemo 6 months ago so he is looking forward to this big time. Can't wait.

lapal_fan Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Beat these 20 nil and we'll get Europa. I just put £5 at 4/7 because you.just.never.know! I'll go Ollie quad hattrick, Martinez hattrick, McGinn 1, Kamara 1 and Lewis Dunk to score a hattrick of own goals in the 91st, 92nd & 99th minute.

viivvaa66 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It’s clear that Brighton have improved a lot since we played them back in November. But so have we. The question is who have improved the most. I think the home advantage will be the deciding factor and we win 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
