Aston Villa (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[solley attwell]

Just spoke to my mate who’s part of the ground staff, said the pitch is fine and the game will definitely be on

Just spoke to a friend who knows Micheal Fish. He said there's no hurricane on the way

 

[BringBackSwales]

you may well be right but the point stands that game should have been called off after 10-15mins max but it would have finished if we'd not scored 2 quick goals.

I agree, it’s why I waited outside the main stand for over an hour after the game to have a word with him, and it’s how I remember who the ref was

 

[Akpowell]

Hes just fucking jinxed it

Without getting ahead of myself, i think we will hammer them tonight. They've not played since NYD. Their squad has been stricken with Covid. I was bad with Covid at the beginning of December and it took me more than two weeks to fully recover. They'll be absolutely shattered. It could be 7 or 8.

We didn’t do too bad against Chelsea after being hit with a covid outbreak and having our training ground shut down?

i heard that 50.000 blues will be there tonight in sprite ? god is sending them down on a stagecoach

Seven up!

 

[willipp]

Seven up!

Its nothing to coke about.

 

[Goater=Legend]

1-0 win would do fine tonight

 

[Manchester33]

Fucking hell, just when I thought Covid was enough !!

Lol, in 20 years time, COVID will be a distant memory. Global warming on the other hand....

It messes up my meal times a bit

I have given the missus early notice for a late tea. mind you, i've just had a phone call and been paid a few quid so tea may not arrive until tomorrow.

Ha ha that brought back memories I was working at sea that night in Kent. We should have got off the ship at 11pm.but didn't get off until 4:30 am. Walking through Dover that morning it looked like world war three had broken out, damage everywhere. I got back to my digs, made a cup of coffee and a sandwich and was just about to read my book when the power went so I gave up and went to bed.

 

[Manchester33]

Glad

Gladbach fans where already in the stadium when the game was called off. I was on level 3 and had watched them wade through waist deep water to reach the entrance, the water was coming through the south stand roof like a waterfall.

That day was very strange. I was already in the ground as well and the weather was ok (if not a bit rainy) when I entered (around 2 hours before KO). Those next 2 hours were biblical. The game was called off and we all agreed rightly so. I went to Mary D's for a pint and to watch the other games, at half time I started making my way home, the rain had cleared and you'd have never known there'd been a storm!

This rain is insane I know are pitch is one of the best but can it really cope with this much rain.

 

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

Nervous about this one tonight. Villa are a good team

so are we

 

[kaz7]

weather is shocking in east manchester ? heavy rain wind

the main thing will be the pitch tonight. but we know the pitch is well looked after
but heavy rain can lead to a waterlog pitch very quickly and tonight weather reports are not looking good

Tis only rain

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Should be fine unless we have one of those lethargic ones which sometimes follow a good performance like Sunday. Hopefully 3 points, top of the table, trump gone and vaccine here soon.

Have lived in manchester all my life and the rain that night was the hardest I have ever seen.
