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

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Take them out for some extra shooting practice Pep!

Ideally Gerrard...
rests players against Burnley and loses.
goes full strength against City and loses.
is sacked by Villa following a fan protest.

Was gonna post something similar, he can’t afford to lose these last two games, he does & the Villa fans will turn, he’s lucky it’s the last two games, but the stench could carry over into next season, a slow start & he’s gone, who’s gonna want to employ him then? He’ll be getting job offers from Gibraltar with no realistic chance of taking over at the dips (who WILL turn on him if they lose badly to us) let’s hope D Luiz does a Joey Barton Sunday

Just failed to avoid the avenues ‘resident dipper’, he seemed keen to chat. He’s never actually been to Anfield but he did once go down the Rainford Bypass so considers himself a true fan! I honestly did try and be pleasant and not be rude and/or sarcastic but the minute he opened with “Gonna be interesting Sunday, you playing against Stevie” it started to go downhill rapidly. I had to point out we weren’t going to be up against Gerrard but all of Jack’s former team mates and, as for the quadruple, Madrid might just have some say in that. Quelle surprise, he thinks they’ll win it on penalties!!

Did you point out that the best they'll be able to do post Sunday is a cup treble??

last home game - surely his best players deserve to play

See Southampton for that answer.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I have a weird feeling that we might see all our defenders back and a grand finale to end the season on a highest note than the **** dolphin can sing .

I did mention that it would be an unwanted first to play 6 hours of football without scoring and walk away with 3 trophies. He seemed to think I was being complimentary!

 

[citizen_maine]

Any news on the UK TV coverage of the match?

Our game and dippers are both on Sky

 

[CC1]

See Southampton for that answer.

The missing players were coming back from injury I think.

 

[Goatmeal]

Surely Villa fans are going to want to see their best players last home game
