Aston Villa Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread

Bounty Hunter

yup Arsenal winning tonight (3-1 at HT west brom are useless, Arsenal will win) makes the City game even more important and i really think we need to get atleast 4 points vs City & Spurs.

spiderdan

I reckon if we can beat Fulham and Boro away we'll get 4rth anything less and its Arsenals, makes Sat even more sickening looking at the remaining fixtures- what a boost for the Arsenal players! its easy to forget they're on a decent unbeaten run at the minute and Walcott, Fabergas nd co all due back very soon

Bounty Hunter

Laursen will be a massive boost for us too when he returns and not just defensivley we have missed him from set pieces badly too

Savman

With Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all winning, City has now become a pressure game so by god MON better send them out playing like their lives depended on it.

Lads, I think tonight is our biggest game of the season, win and we have a bit of breating space and a 11 day rest for the team. Lose and the pressure of having Arsenal 3 pts behind with better goal difference and the margin for error is very small.
Won't have a better chance to beat City their star name and form player both missing.

Anyone going to the Spurs game on Sunday week?

I agree wholeheartedly. Yesterdays results and the weekends hiccup means that there is a lot of pressure on the boys for tonights match. I just hope we pull it out of the bag.

I'm heading over to the Spurs match with my GF, still got to wait till tommorrow to book the match tickets though.

Also by any chance do you have a link to the fight beind discussed in your sig?

Savman

Feckin' huge game, no point pretending otherwise. A point will not make up for Sunday's shambles and I can't even contemplate the prospect of a defeat :eek:

Helix

every game we play for the rest of the season is our biggest game of the season now lads

every single one of them

Helix

If it is a draw I'm going to write to the club and accuse you of all sorts of ungentlemanly things in the hope that they ban you from attending club matchs.

back on topic, i'm heading over to the Spurs game on the 7.40 Ryanair flight and staying over til Monday, so if anyone fancies meeting up for pints pre or post fight let me know. I do have a Spurs fan with me so he won't understand football talk.

Come on the Villa tonight, put us back 3 pts off the Pool with Man U next up for them...

shoutman

Thanks for the link, i'm heading over on the 12 o clock flight which lands at one, so till plenty of time to get to the stadium. Do you have your tickets already or do you have to wait till tommorrow to get them? I'm looking to get holte end ones if possible, atmosphere was so much better there then the Ellis stand.

Only game I've been to was the Everton away and I got those through Everton connections, so I think it's next week when they go on general sale when I get them, or might just get off a tout if necessary.

I actually have a spare for the Spurs end, but don't fancy it so selling it on. I really fancy us to beat them on the day, hopefully Helix can't make it and we have a chance of seeing a goal

What channel is this on tonight?

Saddam Hussein TV methinks. All the usual suspects, no "official" sources though.

How can they not have this on TV ffs? Apart from the UTD game, this is the game next in line. :mad:

2 streams 1 in english, Fox Soccer Channel

Helix

why the bloody hell isnt carew starting

urgh

i can understand the logic behind playing that other useless fecker for his speed, but surely carew shouldve been up top with him

defence looks a real mess

Time Magazine

We're getting hammered at the back.

Helix

argh all the streams i have links for have either died or are now showing everton

Helix

oh no, there we go, thats better

just in time to see city miss another sitter

DSB

Jesus, I think its finally fair enough to say without doubt that MON was wrong to disrupt the teams momentum.

Villain

1-0, I think I need to change my prediction from us finishing 5th.

I now predict we will finish 6th

Time Magazine

My stream is 2 minutes behind live. Feck.

Helix

*sigh*

another 60 minutes of hopeless long balls ahead

Time Magazine

Where is the Fox Soccer Channel link?

Bounty Hunter

Not a peno imo but we had been riding our luck at the back with Ireland (who seems to be everywhere) and SWP fluffing good chances beforehand.

We seem void of attacking ideas atm and Carew not playing seems a mistake atm, We need something to kick start our team like a Young free-kick. We need Young atm to show us how good we know he can be cos we are really lacking that creative spark

shoutman

Oh Ye of little faith!

In MON we trust.

Bounty Hunter

anyone with Sopcast sop://broker1.sopcast.com:3912/30931, its not english but its live and smooth and the Fox Soccer linke changed to the Everton game for some reason

He got you guys this far...... have some faith !

I trusted in MON until the Uefa Cup decision, I now believe that decision has done two things, gave us no chance of progressing in the Uefa Cup and cost us 4th place.

If I am wrong than I will glady eat humble pie

shoutman

Not the best quality but a good solid stream

I have full faith in MON and atm wouldent swap him for any manager as i dont think anyone is as suited to the Villa job atm, but no fan likes watching their team play poorly and recently Carew has seemed like our main goal threat even if he is a lazy fecker at times. Now is not when we want poor results, considering we have Spurs, Man United, Liverpool and Everton in our next 4 league games.

To be shown on youtube or permaban from soccer forum?

Oh lovely now Ashley looks injured

Helix

we need something more in the locker than HOOF and KICK IT TO ASHLEY yet its all we have to offer

when it works its great, but why the hell we dont just get it on the floor and play football i dont know. we're capable of playing lovely stuff, but we insist on this horrible route one tripe time after time

so frustrating

shoutman

Zat Knight is brutal at football.

invincibleirish

Good idea to have same side and formation for Stoke home as Man City away?

Helix

booed off again and fully deserved again

Did ya just see that excuse for a pass? FFS like, he wouldn't make a LoI team!

Stoke we were two nil up with five minutes to play. The tactic and team obviously worked very well for the vast majority of the match.

Helix

it would be if we didnt play long ball rubbish

it means we just miss out on a midfielder when the other team has the ball, and they take us apart

if we were playing decent football then you could warrant the extra man up top, but when youre just launching it and one of the front men is the laziest footballer on the planet, its probably not the best formation in the world

Yeah, starting to boo the players once they hit a bad patch after how well they've gotten things done all season is fully deserved, ridiculous statement.

we were absolutely beautiful to watch in the first half against stoke. brilliant stuff for the full 45 minutes

after half time tho they were pretty much always looking like causing problems

it worked really really REALLY well for 45 mins, then we went back to see who can kick it the highest

Time Magazine

6,000th post. Woot.

Come on Villa.
