Damn you eamonn. Not only did you cause me to get a 'Whilst you were posting...' but you steal my 4-0 prediction!

[Risso]

We always play badly there.  They've got a much better team than us.  3-0 to them, with either Barry and or Milner rubbing it in with a goal.

[Tony]

We always play badly there, they've got a much better team, 2-0 to us, Barry and Milner own goals and some outrageous decsions from the officials in our favour.

[eamonn]

Sorry Sandman.


I'd love for us to play there like Everton did the other day. Unfortunately I can't see us being as clinical as they were, nor our defence being good enough to hold out an onslaught. With too many kids playing we could get embarassed and them having more of their confidence drained. NRC and Petrov to be re-instated please.

Why?

[Martyn Smith]

Can see us defending deep and well, and occasionally looking impressive on the break. However, I'm afraid I can't see anything other than a comfortable win for the home side either...

[Karlos96]

We never do well there can see us getting stuffed.

4-0

[levico]

There is just no possibility whatsoever that we will walk a way with anything less than a sound drubbing from this match. 

The same goes for the Chelsea match - there, I've saved myself a post.

[Legion]

Nah. We'll win 0-2 there aswell.

[D.boy]

Nah. We'll win 0-2 there aswell.

Leeg, when was the last time you got the score right at 2-0 to villa? (winky)
I have avoided doing predictions as I usually get them wrong and we lose but what have I got to lose now.
6-0 to Citeh, yep we really are that bad at the moment.

About two years ago. I'm sticking to this until we eventually do. Might be a long time, though.

[WikiVilla]

We are disorganised, non-disciplined and have a defence like a sieve

We will be lucky to keep it down to 4

[Greg N'Ash]

think they'll tear us a new hoop. 3-0
