ender4 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not a cup final, but let’s just beat them and keep up our good form at Villa Park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I’m going to this one, I’m looking forward to it after not managing to get there at all last season. Hoping for a repeat of the last time we hosted Brighton and an extension of our brilliant home form. The cup final titles haven’t been working this season, time to stop them until we’ve got something meaningful to play for at the seasons end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 What a game this should be, it’s got goals written all over it. Fair play to Brighton they are the real deal. Wouldn’t surprise me if we lost this , and I’m sure their fans are saying same about losing to us. Home advantage could be crucial , but I think both sides would walk away from this happy with a draw . 2.2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 I’d take a draw right now. They are on fire this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 We can beat them at home, would be a huge statement from us. They are a good team with a brilliant manager but so are we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 We beat them twice last season which should give us some belief it’s possible. They’re a top side though and it’ll be a battle for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Quite a few tickets have now come available online. I’m assuming it’s because of the train strikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Also reckon there will be a few people keeping their seat on the off chance they can get there, but may be empty come kick off if its too much of a hassle. That's my plan anyway, hopefully I can make it, however I feel that we have beaten them so many times recently that they are due a result against us, esepcially at VP. For that reason i think they will win 3-1 but I hope we can get a 2-0 as we have done against them last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing it with cup final in the title because it was a little joke that worked in the championship during the 10 game run. Like I said, anyone can start the thread but some people would rather sit and moan at the people that do because they don’t like the title 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was nice. It's also led to the bonus scenario of a Very Minor VT Controversy. So cheers there, too. I know it might sound like I'm being ironic, and I probably am a bit, but "thread startery" is a difficult art, and quirky little variations in the tradition ought to be welcomed. So ... thank you. There, I thought you deserved some acknowledge for the offhandedly good intentions behind the "Cup Match X" idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 We want 10 in a row in the PL. Beating this Brighton side might see a few sit up and take proper notice of us. Would be some statement, especially in the waterlogged shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 We will lose this badly. We've been really poor against the better sides and thry are a top top team. We're knackered. Seriously worried about this game. Too mant of our players consistently gash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) High scoring draw for me. We're the kryptonite to them that West Ham are to us season in season out. Brighton could rip us apart on the counter...however for whatever reason they can never impose their game on us home or away like they do with many other teams. That said we're losing if Kamara doesn't get back on form as Luiz will struggle to dominate them once they press us so that's a worry.
