Oh dear me, some folk never learn......https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53049710

Think he has learnt his lesson but he's just gone and sat on the fence.

Don't they have to travel by car? I'd have thought Wednesday for what it's worth.



The problem is that some people see those two descriptions as being mutually exclusive from having technical quality. Liverpool and Man City are all three but no-one ever describes them in the same terms as they do us.

The great Man U side under Ferguson was one of the hardest working sides I've seen .

I don't disagree with what he's said annoyingly.

Get yer money on Villa.

I will say again, rethink getting married :

MInes been cancelled this year, have the gods given me a chance to run away? haha

 

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Just realised
We have 4 home games left
Attendance for each will be zero, which means our average over the season will dip below 30k
Pigs will see this as a mechanism to tek piss when there is none.

There will be 28500 season tickets there for each game.

"...and then came the game where every Villa shot produced a goal..." and then it cuts out...damn. i'll never know.

Good afternoon Blades (Villa fan in peace)

As we are the two teams that are opening up the Premier League after lockdown I thought I would pop in to say hello. It is great to have football back but I am very sceptical about these behind closed doors games, I just don't think football is football without the fans but I guess any football is better than none. Tomorrow is a massive game for us, we really need to get the 3 points as our return to the PL has not been anywhere nearly as successful as yours. I think the game will be a tough game for both sides due to the circumstances but I think the 12 weeks off has probably benefitted Villa more than you. We were on the back of 4 losses so the last think we needed was for a well organised, hard working Sheffield Utd to come to Villa Park and make it 5 losses.

I write on a Villa blog (avfcvillablog.com) and was wondering if you guys would like me to encourage some Villa fans to come on here for some pre match banter? If you do I will post a link asking people to drop in for some abuse Good luck tomorrow, I am obviously hoping for a Villa win and if any of you want to come to a Villa blog to wind us up and rub it in our faces that we spent 140m and are sitting in 19th place you are more than welcome.

"...and then came the game where every Villa shot produced a goal..." and then it cuts out...damn. i'll never know.

Villa won their next game 5-2 away at Spurs.

 

[Revolution]

Gage scored against us and for Villa in the same fixture in 1987-8. That also finished 1-1.

Gage scored against us and for Villa in the same fixture in 1987-8. That also finished 1-1.

Doc Pace scored a hat trick for Villa against us in April 1956. He scored a hat trick for us against Villa in February 1960. Both matches at Villa Park.

Watch out for News bulletins on the BBC tonight or on the BBC News channel they are showing the Villa stands with the seat coverings and also the Mosiac Wall which is mentioned in another thread. I could swear there is a blades fan shown in the Mosaic wall when I watched the 6pm news.

What's up with JOC?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

What's up with JOC?

Rumoured ACL.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Looks like we're playing in the white away shirt tomorrow.

 

[bromtom]

Where's this JOC rumour come from?

 

[Razor1967]

Rumoured ACL.

Hearing Fleck out as well tomorrow.

 

[davey1889]

 

[What the Hecky]

Why do people spread rumours, why not just wait for Wilder to say. Nobody is saying anything but rumours

 

[Varkanoid]

Well Berge is definitely playing !

Well, he's definitely in the matchday squad.

 

[8lade]

Well he definitely has a shirt with his number on it.

 

[What the Hecky]

Is it today dad?

Yes it bloody well is

 

[anty75]

If there was any truth in JOC and Fleck rumours then Villa price would ve dropped on betting markets. But nothing of the sort, Blades are still clear favourites. Thats why I am 99% sure its bullshit

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

We've already lost.
