Wolves

Wolverhampton vs. Aston Villa Saturday, January 21st

Location: Molineux Stadium
Records + Form (W-D-L, Points, +/-, Form)

 Villa

Star-divide

It's a derby day! Excitement, right? We hate those pesky Wolves! Yeah, ok, I'm not very good at manufacturing hatred for a club whose badge looks like it came straight from a comic book. But still, Villa need to win this one. This not winning thing is getting ridiculous.

Here are your lineups:

Wolves Starting XI: Wayne Hennessey, Kevin Foley, Christophe Berra, Roger Johnson, Stephen Ward, Michael Kightly, Karl Henry, Emmanuel Frimpong, David Edwards, Matthew Jarvis, Steven Fletcher.

Wolves Bench: Dorus De Vries, George Elokobi, Richard Stearman, Stephen Hunt. Nenad Milijas, Kevin Doyle, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.

Aston Villa Starting XI: Shay Given; Alan Hutton, James Collins, Richard Dunne, Ciaran Clark; Marc Albrighton, Stiliyan Petrov, Gary Gardner, Gabriel Agbonlahor; Robbie Keane, Darren Bent

Villa Bench: Stephen Warnock, Brad Guzan, Nathan Delfouneso, Barry Bannan, Carlos Cuellar, Andreas Weimann, Nathan Baker

I heard "Barry Bannan"

I like to think the announcer was saying “We wouldn’t waste Barry Bannan here in Italy”

Good God

we are horrendous defensively

This is what really blows me away

Even with the style McLeish plays, our defense still sucks. Eschewing possession and attacking, and not even a halfway decent defense to show for it

I'm seeing a lot of "suck it, Keane haters"

Instead, I should be seeing, “We won, that’s awesome! Everyone who supports Villa is HAPPY.” Instead it’s all about the doubters and how wrong they were.

I’m trying to recall if any fan base is quite like this.
