Match Day Aston Villa vs PNE

[TomPNE94]

Can't wait for this, never been to Villa Park, ground 56 of the 92.

Unfortunately I'm having to drive so gonna be a bit of a shit day if we don't get a result. Really do fancy us to end Villa's unbeaten home record though.

I've been once before when we lost 5-0 in the league cup under Craig Brown, they had the likes of Angel, Barry, Vassell (when he was decent) and Hitzlsperger... we had Colin Murdock, Adam Eaton and Eric Skora...

I fancy us to get a decent result here but it doesn't pay to be optimistic, they're yet to lose at home so a point would be a good.

Not sure if DJ will come back into the fold or who would make way for him.

 

[SirTomFinney]

I also went to Villa Park for the 5-0 hammering. Awful night as we also found our Fuller was out for the season en route!!

2nd away game this season for me. Quite surprised to see there unbeaten at home this season as I do fancy us to get at least a point here! Cunningham is a massive miss though.

If it wasn't for his injuries Ricardo Fuller could have played at the very top, still had a decent career at Stoke but definitely didn't meet his potential.

He was unreal to watch in a Preston shirt.

He was ridiculous. Some of his goals were just class. Quick, strong as feck and have never seen anyone breeze past players like Ricardo. Most exciting PNE player in my lifetime

 

[JaseTheVillain]

We won't be winning this, but I can't see us losing either, so that leaves one option of course... Draw. 0-0

 

[LeylandWhite]

Was there for the 5.0 pasting aswell. Really looking forward to this one, 9.17 train so plenty of drinking time before the game .

Would take a point now definetly, I would have fancied us to get all 3 but with no Baptiste, Pearson and Cunningham it will be a big ask, we're still capable though.

If Johnsons fit then I would bring him straight back in, probably for Horgan, Spurr for Cunningham.

 

[mossypne]

On the 8:20 to New Street, can't wait. With the way we've been playing i can't see us losing this.

 

[SF_]

I'm on the 7.17am

 

[LeylandWhite]

My dad's on the 7.17, there's about 25 of them. Gonna be a messy day, can't wait.

 

[mossypne]

I'm on the 7.17am

We were on the 7:17 but it seems nearly all of the 2700 are on that, so we're now going an hour later instead.

7 of us going.

Looks like the whole of Preston is heading down to this one. I'm going to put PNE draw no bet on so blaming all of you if Villa go and win

I don't like the fact that i'm confident, pretty much a cert that we won't turn up.

 

[mossypne]

Can't wait for Robinson to score a 90th minute winner tbh

I think you might be right, there's about 50 that I know of on our train and 300+ booked into a pub in Brum.

Villa doing their own tribute for Graham Taylor I hear.

Hope that goes well.

They are always mourning and groaning… minute applause/silence, protests, etc.

Ladies and gentleman, the classy Blues fan.

Our local reporter confirmed the compensation fee for Callum Robinson was £200k, fucking bargain.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

You lot have fucking robbed our youth system because we couldn't be arsed with them. Robinson and Johnson would fit in easily for us this season.

don't be an arse. Some minute silences are fucking pointless imo and it does seem like there is one every other week.

Villa win. 2.1

 

[LeylandWhite]

250k combined for Johnson and Robinson is scandalous. If I were in charge and somebody wanted them I would probably be wanting at least 5m for Johnson and 3m for Robinson.

 

[SF_]

I think Robinson is worth more than DJ personally, he's younger and his pace means he has more chance of playing in the Premier League. As good as DJ is technically, he's pretty slow and one-footed as fuck.

I've given up when it comes to valuations these days, no idea.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Yeah to be honest I've not a clue either nowadays, basically I think they're both worth shit loads now. Add in Pearson, Hugill and Maxwell and consider what fees we paid and we're going in the right direction. Thank fuck the days of Graham Westley and the load of crap he signed are well in the past.

I think DJ's quite quick when he gets going. If he's played as an attacking mid he's definetly got 10-15 goals in him in this league

 

[SF_]

Yeah, Johnson is quicker running with the ball at his feet than he is without it, weirdly.

 

[TomPNE94]

I think Johnson is really quick, just never runs flat out. He chased someone back about 40 yards a few weeks back and caught them easily, can't remember who it was though.
