Aston Villa (H) - Sun 22nd May, 16:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

That's what I'd go for too.

Half of our fan base moan and moan about sterling's finishing, but when he's in the side we create more because he pulls players all over the place.

Thats true. Just hope he has his finishing boots on in front of goal.

Weather forecast for Sunday is showery so wear your Citeh cagoule and party on down: )

Would be a huge boost for our lads and indeed us if we can start the game with an established back four although I'll not be relaxing until we're 10 - 0 up with 4 seconds left...

Surely going to be a record pre match thread if we need to win on Sunday?

What was the QPR one?....

The most is the CL final which was 445 pages which will be hard to beat.

Last two times we needed to win on the last day: Brighton (201) West Ham (151)

Not sure on QPR as I can't find the thread.

He said he'd be surprised if it's the same team which plays both matches. I reckon he'll play his strongest side tonight.

I think weakest strongest sunday

I think the QPR one was in classics last time i saw it , i didnt take part in it but read it , i dont think it was too long

Think that's just the match thread. Surprised it's only got 65 pages.

Must've been a fairly incident free game.

We didn't have as many glory hunters back then ;-)

I'd really hope so. The board will explode on here if he puts out a 'B' team tnoight and yes I know all players in his squad are all legal.

I know it’s a bit ‘if my aunty had balls she’d be me uncle’ but if Villa needed 3pts to survive or qualify for something we wouldn’t even be speculating never mind go into meltdown, they’d pick their best team for the job & try and get the 3pts as soon as possible, they’d also weigh up the chance of said 3pts & probability, suppose it’s all fun & games and adds to the banter when we’re 4-0 up sunday

Still remember being at Stamford Bridge when I heard the news about the Aguero goal.
