Ok it's safe for me to post a match thread with literally nothing riding on the result (except Derby's record). Villa are in good form so there's little chance of me doing another one, cue an unbeaten run to the end of the season!
Saturday 12th April 2025 Southampton V Aston Villa 15:00. Referee: Tom Bramall. Assistants: Nick Hopton, Mark Scholes. Fourth official: James Linnington. VAR: Tim Robinson. Assistant VAR: Stuart Burt.
This is where we at least level Derbys record I think. Can see it being similar to the Palace game where Villa aren’t very interested due to other distractions
It'll be like The Great Escape, with Villa fans dropping rubbish out of the legs of their shell suits

Am going to the match as slightly more optimistic for a decent performance under Rusk. I didn't see a single game under Juric and certainly not going to miss the prick. Not expecting us to turn into 1970's Brazil but hoping we can make a decent game of it.
Rewind 9 years and I see a 6-1 win, with a three minute Mane hatrick and good old Shane doing a great impression of a quality striker. How times have changed
