A win would guarantee we will be at least second over Christmas, with a good chance to be top of the league. It's similar odds to the Luton home game.

I don't think this is a game where we over exert ourselves. And that's not disrespectful to Sheff U, that's just the way they'll come and set up. It'll be a more patient, probing game, like Luton at home was. Brentford and Man U away are more high energy games. We have been quite fortunate that Sheff U and Burnley at home have fallen across this busy late Christmas period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Cash and Moreno should be the full backs. Blades will park the bus and we’ll need to stretch the width a bit. Diaby, Bailey, Watkins up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 19, 2023 Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2023 Top 2 playing each other and us playing these. Not even we could **** this up. Could we? I think we will get the job done handsomely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) According to the Telegraph, the last time Villa topped the Premier League was 20 games into the 1997-98 season under John Gregory. Edit looks like it was 28/12/98 when we beat Sheffield Wednesday at home 2-1, think we dropped like a stone soon after Edited December 19, 2023 by turnbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason no other club in the UK has done it. Almost certainly a Heck idea, smacks of something he's thought of, reminds me of Charlie Methven in the Sunderland Netflix documentary - 'Can someone challenge me on this?' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly a Heck idea, smacks of something he's thought of, reminds me of Charlie Methven in the Sunderland Netflix documentary - 'Can someone challenge me on this?' I see it more as a continuation of what they already do with the floodlights (which I'm sure they stole from wolves) and the pyro Id say at a guess no other club has done it because it actually costs a pretty penny to do with then no actual return on it Would also guess that the tech is relatively new, the concept isn't, London 2012 was awesome but they were lights on the seats weren't they? The surprise for me is that they've announced it today and same as all things villa I'm not sure they'll get the message across or the fans will buy in to it, hopefully they've got the sense to plaster posters everywhere and even have some volunteers in the car parks outside the ground telling people about it and helping them get the app, sounds daft but it helps If we get it right I guarantee we won't be the last team to do it Edited December 19, 2023 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Can remember when we had a minute's silence for the monarch passing last season and they dimmed the lights, that was pretty cool. The lights show has crept in over here last five years, all part of entertainment so Gen Z can put it up on their instagram feeds I guess. Probably works best when Hi Ho is blaring out just before the teams walk out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
