1-3

1-5.
-
0-3
-
Just what we need, an Everton team buoyed by the injection of a £200m takeover.
-
Put Lyden and green on and get rid of Westwood and bacuna. Ayew to start and sinclair too least he looks OK for ten minutes. Im sick of seeing agbonlahor too. 0 3
-
We'll come second
-
Loss.

Everton could play absolutely shite and still win as Stoke did yesterday.
This will be an absolute hammering though 0-4
-
We will win this one.
-
We will win this one.
Haha
-
Villa 0 Everton 200 million.
-
0-3
They wont even have to try
-
0-4 Out the door on 54!
-
0-3
-
I'm going for a 0-4 too, two each half.
-
9-1 to them
-
0-3
(we go again - in French)
-
Another humping is guaranteed.
1-5.
-
Everton are a funny side, but this has more to do with how bad we are right now. 0-2 to them.
-
Routine humiliation.
-
Another nail in the coffin. We're so bad, even Cleverley will score. Us 2, them 7
-
a message For the 3 people that have voted for a Villa win
Drugs don't work
-
Another nail in the coffin. We're so bad, even Cleverley will score. Us 2, them 7
What a load of tosh. As if we will score twice!
-
Us 1 Them as many as they can be bothered to score.
-
Powerful, spirited, disciplined and hard working team.
Shit.
-
5-2 Gabby, Gestede, Gil, Grealish, Gana. Barry and Cleverly for them.
All the usual suspects will start. Can we play fly-keeper? Stick Gestede in there....
-
Garde will probably go with the the same selection at Stoke. I just wish he would try something different as we are likely to lose anyway.If he does it will probably be Grealish. Still he will be able to watch a proper midfielder from close quarters. I hope Gareth Barry performs well for them.
-

Well surely it tosh because we've been down long before this game. I'll be honest if I actually thought that there was a chance of a 2-7 scoreline I'd watch it! haha.
-
Was thinking of going but the atmosphere between players and supporters now has put me off. Saved me a fair few bob as well. Don't think we will get hammered. Apart from the very top of the league there is little to choose between the also rans. That's the fuckin frustrating part. We are totally completely shit but only a few teams can really take us apart.

Oh I think there are quite a few actually and Everton are one of them, its just that they will go there to do a job and if they can do it without breaking much of a sweat and reserve some for coming games all the better for them. I see a strong away win, but not a thrashing.
-
Only a few more matches to go before we can all have a nice rest from this...
They will beat us, don't care in what fashion or by how many
I have to stay until the end so that I can Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
-
Garde said after the performance the players put it at Stoke there's unlikely to be changes.... Ok.
-
Isn't Ayew due back now?
-
0-3 defeat. No further comment is needed or can be made on the ongoing debacle that is Aston Villa.
-
0-4
-
I think the 20% who have voted that we won't lose are obviously on the wrong club thread. Maybe, if they actually come to one of the AVFC matches, they will be much the wiser!!!
On a more serious note, the Sunday Mercury today have picked up on the story about the fans having a mass walk out on 74 minutes. If I last that longg, I will certainly join them!
-
Another thrashing. I hate football.
-
Another thrashing. I hate football.
I hate our owners. About time Lerner addressed his 'customers' and apologised for wrecking the club. Bet he won't though. 0-2
-
Comfortable away win I would have thought.
Everton win 2-0 without breaking sweat.
-
I'll have whatever Martinez is drinking. I agree about the effect goals have though.
“The way they [Aston Villa] start games, they are really strong and fully focused but the goals [they concede] probably have a bigger effect than it does on other teams.
“They have been unfortunate in many situations.”

Hes being kind. A bit like when a child does an awful drawing of mum or dad and you say "thats lovely"
-
I'm going to stick my neck out and say, we will lose 0-2.
-
I only looked on this thread for the cleavage.
-
I want us to try something different. Garde has made it clear we don't have the quality to compete so rather than waiting for the inevitable lets try something different. We need to score goals so id go with four attacking players and go for broke.
Bunn
Hutton, Lescott, Okore, Cissohko
Gana Veretout
Sinclair Ayew Gabby
Gestede
Lets get some crosses in via Sinclair and ayew. Try going long flick ons off gestede. Try something different.
-
Let's keep it to a 2 goal loss. And I won't be walking out.
-
Forget the match, where's that bird with the slammers?

Completely agree.
-
Play some kids. Drop some of the tosh. Utd have just had some 18 year old sprog score 4 goals in 2 games. He might be the next Macheda, but he's still been given the chance and has surprised people. We need something, anything, that might actually catch defenses off guard rather than Flabby or Gestede, two of the easiest, most predictable strikers any defender will face this season.
We're gone. There's nothing left to lose. The kids sides are actually doing alright. Give a few of them a chance. Why the hell not? It gives a few lads a great chance to stake claims for next season in the Championship.
-
Agree supertom. What's the point in playing defensive football now? Lets just go all out attack
-
On the face of it another dubbing. Football and Villa are funny things and this could well end in a draw.
The players need to start believing in themselves.

Totally agree. field 3 or 4, tell them to go out and enjoy themselves. No-one is going to get on their backs under these circumstances. They might surprise a few people
-
Remember when Everton @ home meant 3 points and a goal difference boost. Tuesday I'd settle for still being in the game coming out for the second half.This is rapidly turning into the same couldnt care less attitude of the class of 87.
-
Another 0-4 here.
-
The fans would rather see the kids and would get behind them, rather than watching shite like Westwood and Bacuna churning out the same drivel.
-
I dont mind westwood churning out drivel so much, his confidence is low but at least he gives a shit. Bacunas attitude since his bestie Benteke left has been apalling and he should be following CNZ to the bodymoor heath wilderness.
-
I'm predicting a 5-0 home win, with the first goal going in on 75 minutes.
-
Forget the match, where's that bird with the slammers?
I concur, with the success it brought in the Stoke pre-match thread, can we have the Salma Hayek gif again please.
-
Agreed. Give youngsters a chance as well as Lyden involve like Suliman or Nial Mason , Keenan Davies, calder and Sellers . I think they would be more willing than current crop
I take a 0-0 draw
-
Aston Villa Nil nil Everton some
-
Rollocks !!!!
Faint Hearts.
The toffees are rocked back and forth, got new investors, but still not rid of Kenwright.
Things uncertain there, investement..sell 3 players and cover the investement ~ Luka/ Stone/Barks
Got to be dressing room chatter.
We ain't going to score from open play I figure...so just get some looney to dive in the box....well actually get into the box, then dive.
I propose Bacuna. So if he gets booked for simulation it's probably his seond yellow and we'll be rid. Then we just defend...sort off...
Then Gaby dives ...Penalty !
10 v 11 what Ref can turn that down???
Villa 1 - Toffees 0
-
0-3. Barry to take the penalty (at last)

It feels like we`ve been playing like Kids all season.
-
0-3
Worse than the scoreline will be the fact they won't even have to play that well to achieve it.
-
Double your money on Everton City to beat us double this week ...might as well make some money from the misery
As for game them at least 2 goals us 1 shot on target
-
Villa 6 Everton 2 to kick start our charge to the top of the table

0-2
-
Not sure what the plan is with regards to injured players returning but would like us to go with something like this:
Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Gana, Sanchez, Grealish, Sinclair, Ayew, Agbonlahor
Subs: Bunn, Lescott, Richards, Veretout, Sellers, Gestede, Westwood
The fact that I actually want to see us line up like this and even on paper it looks absolutely gash tells its own tale...
Oh and we'll get beat 1-3

They will stop trying when they score their third around the 60th minute

3-1 to the Villa, the dawning of a new era.
I have only come on this thread to be stupidly optimistic and hope for a gif of some top heavy lass doing star jumps or something.

Not picking any individual out and not having a go at anyone on here but some of us seem to fall out with each other over some piss taking. Well the club have been taking the piss out of all of us for a few years now so we would do better to aim or anger at them rather than each other. Remember we all belong to that great dysfunctional family of villa fans.
-
How about everyone calms down and stops the insults and we won't have to ban anyone.

spoke to him in the White Horse. He was pragmatic about Villa saying we need to get ourselves sorted off the pitch before anything else. And he hates Ellis with a passion.

I wasn't 100% sure it was him at first as he was coming out the door as I was about to go in. By the time I knew it was him I thought i'll look too much of a plum calling after him. He still looks like he'd do a better job than Gabby despite being 55, a bit bigger than his playing days and having a limp.

Yes, wouldn't mind those around my lobes!

Gary Shaw used to come into a bank I worked at in the city centre regularly. Every time he would ask out the lady on the front desk. She was fit, like. He'd always use the 'Do you know who I am' line though, but I'll let him off.

I once saw Gary Shaw board the cross city line at Gravelly Hill and I did the most absurd and obvious double take you will ever see that I'm certain he picked up and he smiled accordingly.
Aston Villa - MAKE IT STOP
Everton - PLEASE MAKE IT STOP
-
Everton at home last season was a brilliant game. What a difference now in terms of what will likely transpire.
-
We're nailed on to win now. In addition to the Gary Shaw omen, i've just been given a freebie so will be there after all. It's written in the stars!

They don't like us, which is odd for me as I quite like them (only while they remain harmless) and like going to their stadium as it reminds me of when we were good in the early 80's pre Taylor report. Crap views, crap pies and that crap beer by their sponsors. Good riddance! Er sorry, good bye... Won't miss Goodison one bit!

Everton fans are the whiniest scrotes I've ever had the displeasure to encounter. Fuck the fuckers.

You can get 50-1 on an Everton (-2)/Man City (-4) bet. Stuck a tenner on.

They keep calling us scruffy which is kinda weird. I've never looked at a group of Everton fans and thought "Well there goes the next cover shot for GQ". In theory I have no problem with Everton but their fans are almost as unloveable as their self-glorifying, self-entitled neighbours.
-
I think we will win 2-0 and this is why. We buried my cousin Les Robinson today 67. He was born and bred on the Beeches estate played in Villa's under 13 squad and was as all our family a Villa tragic. He was buried in Mornington cemetery in Melbourne Victoria, as his coffin was lowered it was covered with the Aston Villa flag and his Aston Villa scarf. I believe he would have already had a word so I am hopeful things will change for the better. Up the Villa.
-
They had a free weekend so will be rested up nicely. This might go horribly wrong. 0-3.
-
Nice story about your cousin ROBBO. We are a world wide family.
-
We turn the corner tonight. Us 2 (Ayew 2) Them 1 (Barry, pen).

For some unknown reason the relationship with Everton went sour under MoN (we kept beating them?) - formerly we seemed to have mutual respect and regard for history with a recognition that we were similar clubs - now a section of their following seem to regard us as the Devil's Spawn. Personally I couldn't care less about them these days.
-
Perhaps it began with David Unsworth and our undisguised contempt for him contracted to us but refusing to play for us and returning back to Binlandia after one warm up game at Wycombe.

I read all 8 pages of their comments. Theres some hateful stuff in there. Apparently under O'Neill we dared to think we were in "their stratosphere" and the OP said we dared to think of Everton as our peers! To think this is the same Everton that was battling the drop EVERY season in the early to late 90s when we were winning 2 league cups and finishing in the top six most seasons. Funny.

I had us down for a win anyway but your post about your cousin has rubber stamped the 3 points
Up the Villa Robbo

It was all a bit Tim Lovejoy #megabantz, trying too hard to be 'edgy'.
I'll bet the author is from North Wales.
-
0-4 by the way.
-
What happened to Tim Lovejoy after he left that Saturday morning Sky show?
He's completely disappeared off my radar, just like Colin Murray after he left Fighting Talk
-
He wrote 'that' book.
-
I'm sure it's been mentioned a few times on this thread, but: play the youngsters. At least start Lyden. Ayew will surely start and I fancy him to score. Nevertheless, draw at best.

Much the same as they are now, probably. Everton fans seem to have this strange obsession with being smart and clued up, to the extent that standing on my corner, when their coaches turnede up I used to expect to be dazzled by the permatans, Ray Bans and Versace. In truth they're exactly like every other set of supporters, except they have more irritating little rats.
-
I sense we are going to get beat up badly tonight - 3 or 4 goal loss and more recriminations, finger pointing, etc.
May can't come soon enough - at least this season will be over and we can see what transpires with those players that clearly don't give a shit about the club or supporters - hopefully sold or given away to allow a new culture to develop
-
0-3 defeat. But you never know, odd results happen in football.
-
He wrote 'that' book.
Do you mean this book? http://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/42-Media/145-no-love-no-joy
I caught a bit of the Sunday Brunch programme he presents as I saw Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats were on. I managed a couple of minutes before turning off, his interview with Mr Rateliff was toe curling and he looked like he wanted to kill Lovejoy especially when asked how long it would take to get to the top of a mountain in Denver.
-
Ayew back tonight?
-
Shortly setting off to try to hit the M25 before the traffic builds up. I'm not looking forward to the drive or the match. I always used to travel hopefully, but no longer: going to Villa games feels like a duty, a chore. Today, I really don't think I'd have made the effort if it weren't for the fact that I'm meeting friends at the Barton's, including one who's come over from Germany.
Another defeat. 0-3 feels about right
-
I have been invited into a box tonight so felt that I couldn't turn it down despite the prospect of what will take place on the other side of the glass. It's only my second game, the previous one was Watford at home, the day that convinced me that we were utterly doomed.
0-3
And if I'm in the house, Lovejoy is not allowed on our telly.
-
I remember season before last they gave us a good hiding at VP and I had the misfortune to get the train back to New St with their fans. Talking to a group of them I dared to suggest that if they played like that then they possibly do a Newcastle(previous seasons 5th) and grab a Europa League spot - this one old boys veins nearly popped out his neck "do a Newcastle? who the f are Newcastle?" (said in a Lily Savage voice) as if I had suggested something so derogatory amongst the fans of one of Europes elite clubs. If we're now being judged on our appearance, he was wearing a beige flasher mack and Jack Duckworth glasses held together with a plaster, real classy fella.
Now I can accept that the past few years they have generally stayed at a similar level to where we were in 2010, extended cup runs, promising much but never challenging the top 4 and struggling to hold on to their best players every season. This is why I really don't get this superiority complex and not being able to accept that for ups and downs we are two peas of the same pod.
As for tonight can't really expect anything other than a shit result and a toxic atmosphere, they attack in numbers and we disintegrate like a rich tea biscuit in a hot cuppa.
-
The gentle flicker of the flame of hope is all but extinguished...the Lion will sleep tonight.
0-3 loss, Bacuna and Westwood to be the scapegoats.

Shortly leaving the Wirral, driving down with 2 Everton fans...to be honest I looked forward to my vasectomy more than I'm looking forward to tonight..they are strangely pessimistic about tonight but I don't know why..2-0 to them.

calm down, calm down... sadly 0-3 to da toffees, they will be too good up front for our "defence"
leaving in about and hour or so for the shitty journey that is Cambridge to B6

An element of Everton fans get on my tits. They call us scruffy while Witton Lane will be full of their lot wearing tracksuit bottoms tucked into socks and wearing replica shirts last washed when they were bought, or stolen, 20+ years ago. And they conveniently forget how shit they were between 1992 and 2006. 3 top finishes, surviving relegation by the skin of their teeth a few times and crowds in the low 20K region. Twats.

I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes to the Villa. I invariably look at our team at the start of a season and think, 'you know, with a good wind, we could be contenders'. Rational thought goes out of the window. Even during the season, I'm loath to predict us to lose. Just can't do it.
Anyway, I've just felt that spark, just this moment, few hours until kick-off, Ayew back, maybe this is the day it all changes, maybe we could do it after all. It lasted about one second.
0-3 to them.

The only good wind tonight will come if you have a few pints and a couple of balti pies.

I'm a helpless romantic about us too - won't accept relegation until it happens - anyone else still believe we can still get out of this ?
2-0 Villa

Cheers, CCR, you've just made me hungry!

I read all 8 pages of their comments. Theres some hateful stuff in there. Apparently under O'Neill we dared to think we were in "their stratosphere" and the OP said we dared to think of Everton as our peers! To think this is the same Everton that was battling the drop EVERY season in the early to late 90s when we were winning 2 league cups and finishing in the top six most seasons. Funny.
Brilliant, considering the 10 seasons prior to O'Neill's arrival in 2006 they'd finished in the bottom half every season except two. They did well to get into our top 8 'stratosphere', the one we'd occupied 7 out of the prior 10 seasons.

Apparantly the club are selling off cheap tickets on seatwave for this game. There's a lot on there for £15 each.

I'm just plain hopeless. They can score, we can't. Barry is nailed on to score, Barkley is in good form and Lennon is exactly the type of player to knock one against us. Kone needs a goal too, so we will oblige. 0-4 Everton, all before the 74th minute. Factory of Sadness, indeed.

Me, 2-1 Villa

Double your money on Everton City to beat us double this week ...might as well make some money from the misery
You can get 50-1 on an Everton (-2)/Man City (-4) bet. Stuck a tenner on.
Where did you get those odds? After spending 20 minutes trying to work out the odds for that bet with a bird in Ladbrokes (far from 50-1)she eventually convinced me to put money on Villa to win 2-0

2-0 Villa
I would normally be with you believing even at this late hour that we can escape this relegation thing
But the players don't give a shit, there's not enough commitment from the squad the manager told us that
So sadly I have no belief because left, if your going to make the great escape you do it as a team together all pulling for the manager,
that we are not
0-3 loss

I reckon, though, post-snip you still fire less blanks than the current Villa forward line.

I wonder which shite 11 from the shite squad of 25 will play tonight.
I've never had a bigger discord with the Villa in 30 odd years.
-

So that means we are going to win please play the kids remi and bunn dominate your frigging area
