Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted March 29 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 29 It'd be nice to score a few in this one - Zaniolo's goal against West Ham means we've now scored one more than in 1981-82. We've got 87 goals this season and the hundred is definitely on - I think (fairly sure) this is now our 4th highest scoring season since (the rather arbitrary year of) 1971-72. In that time, we've broken 100 three times: 100 goals in 1971-72 105 goals in 1976-77 120 goals in 1974-75 It'd be nice to think that with at least eleven (and hopefully fourteen) games to go, we might get beyond that hundred mark again for the first time since any of our squad were born. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The win was Dec 2020 (1-0) At 0-0 in that game Emi made an amazing save from ironically Dendoncker IIRC. Probably one of the best in his time here and there are plenty to choose from.

They have a shite signal where they live, so will be bloody difficult to keep up with the game. Hopefully we are 4 up by then Mrs T needs training, in being married to a Villa Fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The crowd will be well up for this local grudge match and probably a bit emotional about the Sid Cowans situation. Woofs players might go into a shell, especially if we score early. I think we can batter them, honestly. 5-0 to the Villa, but I'll take 1-0 on an own goal in stoppage time. Spurs are highly unlikely to drop points at home vs Luton, and we'll know the result before we kick off. Every single league game from here on in will be fraught with tension, especially if we concede first. We have to be aggressive from minute one and I hope Emery doesn't try to be too cute and clever. Stick to what has made us such a formidable team this season. We need to try to channel the spirit and application we showed vs Man City the rest of the season. Tall order, I know, especially with tired legs. But the players must suffer if they are to achieve rewards for their work beyond a salary. They have to strengthen their collective mentality and see this campaign out with a CL spot the glorious prize that is within their grasp. Up the Villa! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) **** hate this lot. Ridiculous how we can beat teams like Brighton, Spurs, Chelsea and Newcastle with semi-regularity but these pricks we've beaten like twice in Premier League in the last 15+ years. Hell in that time period we've got more wins against Man United and just as many against Man City in the PL, and they are two notorious bogey teams.

DakotaVilla Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Very nervous and excited about this game. Hopefully Ollie gets a goal to put the international break behind him. A goal from Diaby or Ramsey would also be perfect. As long as we don’t concede from a set piece we should have enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Not confident about this one just because we haven't done too well v them in recent years. Be nice to put that right today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Dawson being out for Wolves might turn out to be crucial as he appears to be a fairly influential player for them. Expecting goals in this game in what is a massive game for both teams given league positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted March 30 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30 We’re gonna smash them out of the park and send them back to custard bowl land minus their fangs and claw. They might be hungry like the wolf, but they will be ravished by the rampant lion. No need for cock pics to the mother-in-law this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a child of the 80s so I don’t know for sure, but wouldn’t those goals in the 70s be part of a longer season too? And maybe the 82 season?
