Us 1 Them 1

It's hard to see how we will score so nil for us and unfortunately I think our defence will be under enough pressure to conceded at least once so I can only see a defeat on the evidence of the Cardiff/Reading games.
I would love to be wrong as I will be at the game.

Oooh my first game of the season

Oooh our first relegation 6 pointer of the season

0-0.

1-0 win.

Gareth Barry leaves West Brom Unsworth style because of too long a commute to Smethwick due to M5 roadworks and signs for Villa in time to start against Norwich. John Terry battering Barry out the way leaving him unconscious has a header tipped round the post with a blatant handball by a Norwich defender. While Barry is off the pitch for treatment, the penalty is taken, it's saved by the keeper but comes off the post and Barry sprints on the pitch to knock in the rebound Graydon style. 30,000 Villa fans have just one question.

I go with this. Although I assume we will have our traditional "should have scored" spell in the firts half and our "backs to the wall" spell in the second.

2-0 home win.

No change. We are adrift. No goal scoring threat, labored midfield, and the pressure/expectation and inevitable kicking the ball away/sitting too deep will eventually cost us.

Those waiting for it to click are not being realistic.

0-2 and 11 points off the pace already, just 4 games in.

Anything could happen in this game. The volotility index is off the scale. Betting persons who know a thing or two about a thing or two will give it a wide berth.

After the usual 0-0 at HT, maybe by some fluke it ends 1-0.

That's all I've got.

Hello Mr Bruce.

[KRS]

You can expect the unexpected when it comes to Villa...we can be unpredictable when it looks so predictable. We could snatch a win from the jaws of defeat, but I'll go for scraping a draw against the run of play.

1-1
