I’ve had a change of plan so had to cancel my hotel for the home game, and not a prayer of a ticket for the away leg. Fans will be an odd one as there’s been a bit of a John McGinn-love in for a while now, but I’m not sure that will necessarily apply to everyone. 7 hours ago, Johnnyrotten said: Doidge and ALF playing against a top Prem team, who’d have thought. Hope ALF continues his form from the last time he played Villa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked; aways at Southampton (won), Coventry (drew) and Barnsley (lost) took care of the whole of August before we entertained Everton (w.. wo… fucking drew) Newcastle at home was meant to be the first game on sky but it wasn't going to be be ready so they shifted it As it was agreed to be on sky we had to play it on a convenient Monday for sky later in the season So we played a home game on the Saturday v Wimbledon followed by a home game two days later on the Monday night v Newcastle Won both 1-0 Reckon it's a rarity that a team would play Saturday then Monday in the league, certainly wouldn't happen these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually oddly looking forward to seeing what Luton have done with that side of the ground, I like seeing changes to stadiums. Saw some of a Bristol Rovers game on EFL other day and it looks like there's construction hoardings obscuring part of the view from the corner of that wank away terrace 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd one this for me I should want the English team to win but I'm not a fan of Villa (fans), but a bit jealous they get to do Hibs away in a competitive fixture Likewise I shouldn't want the Scottish team to win and whilst it would be most amusing if they did but that'd kick off the inevitable claim Scotland isn't a pub league and that Rangers and Celtic could challenge for the PL Will give it a miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake that Villa will win this, and comfortably so. This is a largely dreadful Hibs team that lost in Andorra a few weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the great pairings of European competition. Current rumour is an away allocation of 1,000 for each game. Barmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted August 19, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2023 Sheff Utd have nothing to base any hope on other than challenging for the lowest PL points tally Forest look settled now and decent, should have more than enough to stay up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 For some unknown reason I ended up in the Chesterfield end at Oldham a few years ago in the JPT semi final second leg. Jack Lester scored a stoppage time winner to send them to Wembley and it was fucking mayhem, Oldham broke into the away end and they were having a right do with eachother up and down the aisles.

Leyther_Matt Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 One for the unusual rivalries list, but I suppose their paths will have crossed fairly regularly over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
