[Albion] Aston Villa - a call to arms

[Megazone]

Really hate the tired 'this is a must win' clichė.

This game is a must win.

and If we lose, it won't be a disaster.

I reckon we'll still stay up.

We're 4 points above relegation. It's definitely not a must win. We can afford to lose and still be in a safe position.

 

[Algernon]

We just need to get Alzate to stick close to Grealish wherever he goes and disrupt anything he tries to do for the whole 96 minutes.

 

[pastafarian]

Biggest game of the season.

Need it to be the best atmosphere of the season

HUGE game

Yep, no messing about.
Im going all in and staying till the 87th min instead of a swift exit on 85.

 

[Grombleton]

Stop Grealish and you stop Villa, it's simple.

We need someone like Greer back to give him an early reducer. Or just cut that ****ing hair of his.

 

[sydney]

please , please , please send villa packing with a flea in their ear .....3-0 4-0 loverly.

To be fair if they watched any of our game yesterday they're probably saying the same about us - stop Mooy and you stop Brighton. Nothing about cutting his hair though

It would help if he gets a red card v Man City today.

Not simply about points though, is it?

They obviously help, but morale must be pretty poor right now after a relatively strong side got turned over by MASSIVE and a similarly lacklustre (and that's being polite) performance yesterday.

Us and 'Muff are on a bit of a downward spiral right now, time to get off.

Burnley are hardly pulling up trees

Never know, the final game of the season might have something riding on it.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

We have 2 points less than the same stage last season. We need 3 points. After early promise bar Arsenal away we have been poor for quite a while now including a few abject performances and capitulation in both cup competitions

Really ?

Drew with Chelsea and beat Bournemouth is hardly that poor

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Really ?

Drew with Chelsea and beat Bournemouth is hardly that poor

And I’d hardly describe the cup exits as capitulation. Different context for each game, but a better collective description might be a lack of interest in both cup competitions this year.

 

[BLOCK F]

Yes! The Match of the Day (when it only showed one match in the programme), 30 odd thousand at The Goldstone, Willie Irvine and Kit Napier for a 2-1 triumph at the top of Division 3 in 1972.

I was there.
John Templeman deserves huge credit for that one!

We peaked with Spurs at home and have been very inconsistant since then and 5 points from the last 10 away games, which to me is not really much of an improvement on last season with over half the season gone. Potter is doing ok, no more

which is his remit, it will take a season or two for him to recruit the actual players he wants

what's the difference ?

"Reducer". Not heard that one for a while. Love it.

"Just get out there and clatter the little ponce early doors"

 

[redoubtable seagull]

what's the difference ?

Yeah, fair enough.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

yeah

it would be nice sending Burnley down
