I am totally fed up with our own fans praying for tomorrow off.
I do not understand this attitude at all, it is small time and it is wrong. West Brom are not playing well, our injuries are clearing and this may be the better time to play it. Mat Kendrick is confident the game is ON

@Matt_Law_SM Those pesky boinging Baggies are doing everything to get it on, so I’m hopeful. What time you setting off
With the Yawnthorns surrounded by major roads and not residential streets like Villa Park then it is easier to clear it away. Of course being on TV makes the push even easier. With a possible Wembley final on the horizon then why would we want a fixture backlog anyway ? We have to play these teams at some point so lets just get the game on and played and win of course.
No more defeatist talk of lets have this game off, we may lose boo hoo. Actually for a reason I can not understand I think we can win tomorrow. It is partly because the Baggie fans have got too big for their boots and time for us to assert our authority.
EDIT
For a couple of moaning minnies below
Richard Holmes @Richhhhhhh
@richardpfranks staff being asked to go in and help clear the area from 9am. Paid for lots of gritters. Doing all they can to keep it on
Mat Kendrick @MatKendrick
Albion have issued a statement saying they are making ‘concerted efforts’ to get the #avfc game on and will provide updates in the morning
Will this game be ON.
Snow chance.
lol
If ever there was proof mcleish was better than lamberk this is it http://m.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/jan/18/aston-villa-decline-finances-randy-lerner
Great link to a sorry tale of our clubs current demise. Breaks my familys hearts, it really does, to see this happening and powerless to stop it.

Christ Almighty! Just seen Lambert on SSN. He was asked about bringing in new players. The man looks destroyed. He said “we’re trying to do something within the (our) structure”. That says it all to me.
This time last year we were very, very vocal towards what was realistically ‘hatred’ towards McLeish. I personally feel ashamed today because more than ever I KNOW that for all of Alex’s shortcomings, it is our idiotically inept owner who should bear the brunt of our protests and be the focus of our attentions from today onwards.
I don’t know what will happen to our/my club, Aston Villa FC this season or the next, but the future is far from Lerner’s vision of a ‘Bright Future’.
If you’re as furious, upset and confused as I am, then direct your protests at Mr Randy Lerner. The only man alive who can make Doug Ellis seem competent.
I am far from convinced by Paul Lambert, but in the meantime I will not judge the man due to the appalling constraints he is expected to work under.
Lerner, instruct your legal team to begin the search for the next custodian of Aston Villa as you Sir, are miles out of your depth. If you think you can compare the depth of feeling of the Browns fans and European football fans, then you know even less about our game than the little we currently give you credit for.
Sell up NOW!
Hear hear…..!!!
Your last paragraph is spot on, but as ever, we the fans do nothing but keep handing over our hard earned……
Well said, AM was dsaster appointment but in lerners eyes he was taken on to keep the fans and the media from looking at him, all of this money he has pumped into Villa has been pumped back out to the lerner trust with interest. I understand that football is business and people speculate to accumulate but he has taken the royal piss and is just taking without giving us any form of success in fact he is about to deliver a season of complete failure, if we do not invest into the squad this month
I dont know tax laws especially US ones but i suspect investing in Villa has cut out a lot of taxes due on monies invested especially as it is being washed through Villa and then onto a trust fund with 10% interest
Cheers guys. It was rather well written considering the red wine snd time of the morning! LOL!
Lerner has used his past three mangers as human shields to deflect his lack of understanding about football. I’m beginning to feel that id Lerner wouldn’t have had the family money he’d be working in Carphone Warehouse. Nice chap and all that, but…
It’s actually appalling that he’s put GH, AM and now PL under this amount of stress. Yeah, you can point at their salaries and pay offs but is it worth it? I doubt u or I could cope for a week in his shoes.
Here’s hoping for a win today!
3-1 TO THE VILLA!
(And I didn’t swear once!!! )
That interview did sum it up. Lambert has been getting loads of stick but I do think he’s actually trying but being so badly restricted its causing significant problems.
