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

So a week of zero sleep and not much work lies ahead. I’ve absolutely zero idea what will happen. Our last 5 minutes in Real Madrid shows this team is capable of absolutely anything and that’s why we love it
Come on Cuty don’t f@ck it up!!!!

Real Madrid away in a CL semi-final is one thing. A mid-table PL side at home is another.

That doesn't mean we will win of course but we probably couldn't ask for a better game to finish the season.

The players that play both of their games won't be at optimum fitness either, having just a couple of days between games and at the end of a long, hard season.

Apart from that, there is a reason that we are top and that they are 12th.

There are never any guarantees in football but if you had to win the final game of the season, you would choose to play a mid-table side (with little to play for) at home.

Yes, if they were to nick a result it would probably require some heroic backs to the wall defending late on. That’s when the effects of playing on Thursday would be felt

More chance of winning the lottery

Give me a piece of that....... Very good chance that's a draw ......in my humble opinion

I'm sure the tea lady for Watford would have then been an ex Liverpool employee and they were out to stop us from winning it...

Need Saints to get something tomorrow or it could be a whole week of no work getting done...

Well the lollipop man Hodgson was an ex employee so maybe not

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Slippy Steve would want nothing more than to thwart our title challenge and hand the Dippers our trophy, but just how many of the Villa team are gonna be mad, bad and fully paid up members of the cult, even for a day. They're probably all best mates with Jack, and would want Jack to get his hands on the medal!

Short memory 2-0 at HT looked really good.

I don't want to think about that second half with the Pogba/Atkinson combo.
