Rugeley Villa Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If we are not full strength i’ll be fuming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNVillan Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I will never, ever understand how Leicester is pronounced “Lester.” It will always bug me, and for that completely rational reason I hate the Foxes. Throw the full might of Villa at them and let’s go back to Wembley for the 3rd straight season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently not, would be much better if it did though. You should be rewarded in the case of a draw if you've scored more goals away from home IMO. No though, they don't come into play tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Ken McNaughts Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I wonder if any Wigan fans thought "What's the point? We'll only get thrashed by Man City at Wembley..."? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any defeat to oil Man City has an asterisk next to it anyway. They have had bad days this season, hopefully another in March or even on Wednesday.

If we win great, what a night at Villa Park but then all I can think about is City wiping the floor with us at Wembley and we get embarrassed yet again in a cup final which is just something I don't want to see. We should probably not enter any cups because of inevitable defeat to superior team at the business end 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing at home is a huge advantage by itself. And both teams get's to play at home. You shouldn't be rewarded for scoring an away goal. Always thought that rule was dumb as hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it has to be a neutral ground. We're there every year, it wouldn't be fair on yanited. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordVillan Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think today’s noises of Vardy being available are a bit of a bluff. I couldn’t care if he plays or doesn’t, but I think the statements today saying he’ll play are a bluff. There’s an argument to be had that Iheanacho is in better goal scoring form anyway. I still think for the most part that our best chance of winning is to play like the away team, keep it busy in midfield and tight at the back, don’t chase the game bombing forward.

Gloucestershire, Bicester, The river Thames, Worcestershire sauce... Though she quickly understood why Paul Tait is pronounced "Massive word removed". 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spineynorman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Going back to previous semi finals, am I the only Villa fan who went to the away leg at Tranmere but missed the home leg ? As I'm in Manchester and will miss the 2nd leg of this one, perhaps that's an omen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinkwater is cup tied and it sounds like Nyland will start. I’d expect Douglas Luiz will come in, but the rest should stay the same. Hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Last semi final second leg I went to we had the flags (6-4 against Blackburn). One of the best games I've been to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hopefully Vardy is on the bench. We kept him quiet in the first leg with this formation, but we wont defend that deep at home which gives him that space he exploited so easily in the league game.
