Pre Match Aston Villa v Leicester

A pedant might point out that that was the reverse fixture that season. Not me though.

oh yes you are right - sorry.
A home defeat would have been an even worse momentum-killer!

the away game had one of Mahrez’ classic penalties of course, at the time when he decided we didn’t need 3 points as we’d win it by ten points anyway.

Though game. They will score.
1-1.
83rd min equaliser for Jamie Maddison.

 

[Brown Nose]

Anyway.

Keller, Whitlow, Walsh, Prior, Watts, Grayson, Lennon, Parker, Izzet, Heskey, Claridge.

A game I remember fondly from Boxing Day 1985, City 3 Villa 1.

Andrews, Feeley, O'Neill, Osman, Morgan, Banks, McAllister, Mauchlen, Wilson, Smith, Cunningham

Kevin Poole was in goal for Villa that day.

This game was such a critical part of our title winning season. From 2-0 down (and if I recall Villa would have gone above is if they beat us), to a barnstorming 3-2 win that kept our momentum into the first international break (IIRC)

Can someone please start the match thread when the team is announced at 1PM. I'm probably not going to be online at the time.

Villa have 2 decent outfield players we have 10. Leicester will control the game & win 0-2

It's not Leicester of old anymore we are in a new era & will win at places we regularly got beat at.

Don’t fancy this one bit.

Villa fans are wankers. It’s ture.
