Surely the poll options should be :-

Narrow Home Win
Easy Home Win
Embarrassing Double Figures Home Win

My second least favoured away fixture after Chelsea. Its such a bleh experience.

Dull soulless ground, no decent pubs nearby and a place where we never, ever, do any good. Even when they were shit.

I look at Everton at home last season and Man City away and still can't figure out how amazingly shit we've become. We played so well vs Everton and against Man City, despite Guzan's best efforts, that was arguable one of our best displays of the season albeit in a defeat. Fuck me. I can't even think what the score will be in this one. I'm guessing we will have a nil next to our name.

They need to win and improve their goal difference, we've given up ergo we will get absolutely murdered!

8-0 at 200/1 with Sky bet was too tempting to not have a couple of quid on; closely followed by 5-0, 6-0 and 7-0

Think there is only our record premier league defeat that remains in the "we can't get any worse" column - would also be a fitting finale to the season to see Aguero smash 6 to claim the most goals in a premier league game crown. I will be going out turning my phone off and avoiding all coverage until Monday, too much money and weekends wasted in 5 years to care anymore.

Ok it's a nailed on home win but I'd like to see Gestede up front instead of Flabby. At least he tried last night. He's always a nuisance in the box and Ayew could profit from his knock-downs. We would still have a shit defence and midfield but at least we might have more chance of scoring. Oh,  and over 2.5 goals is a no brainer for this one so at least we can make some money out of our misery.

It depends whether City want to secure the points with the minimum fuss and effort, so they'll take their foot off the gas at 3-0, or if they see this as a chance to ramp up the goal difference and send a message to the other title contenders,  in which case we might need new words where embarrassing and humiliation don't quite get there.

I'm taking my little lad to this one,
it might be a while before he can visit premier league grounds again so I'm trying to take him to a few before we drop for that reason

He's only 8 and we are also meeting up with his big brother who lives up there so it's a bit of a bonus,
I'm looking forward to the day out on the train and messing around in Manchester on the trams and whatever

obviously the football will be a major disappointment but you have to make the most of the day in other areas,
and as bad as it sounds on here he really is looking forward to seeing Aguero and Kompany etc in the flesh,
I'm sorry if that goes against the grain but that's just the way I'm seeing it at the moment,
We are not worth watching, the players can't be arsed so why should we but at least I can make it a good day out with the family

Hope that makes some sense

Mate of mine is a Man City fan, I just posted this on his Facebook page.

Lost 3 in a row ? Title dream fading ? Feeling depressed?  You need a dose of...Aston Villa ! Struggling to find the net - we'll give you a two goal start. Defence looking leaky - we won't get a shot on target. Choose to play your reserves and coast through 3-0, or go for the goal difference - you have a chance to be the first team to score ten in a Premier League game. Aston Villa. Helping teams out of a rut since 2010.

Richards and Lescott at some point before the game to declare how fired up they are for this one. Then come game time they'll have an absolute mare (as per normal).
Then Richards will come out after the game having trundled round the pitch pretending to care, and issue a rallying cry to fans. At which point every Villa fan around the world will collectively shout, "Fuck off Richards!! Go back to the donkey sanctuary!"

Richards and Lescott at some point before the game to declare how fired up they are for this one. Then come game time they'll have an absolute mare (as per normal).
Then Richards will come out after the game having trundled round the pitch pretending to care, and issue a rallying cry to fans. At which point every Villa fan around the world will collectively shout, "Fuck off Richards!! Go back to the donkey sanctuary!"

I wouldn't play Richards. At least Hutton gives 100%, play him RB and Okore and Lescott CBs. Throw an 80% fit Sanchez in for one of the Festival League standard CMs who are currently playing - Bacuna or Westwood.

I am going to this one as have a free ticket off one of the city players, can't say I am particularly looking forwards to it though. Can see us on the wrong side of a heavy defeat.

I remember seeing us get unexpectedly spanked by city at Villa park once, with David White playing out of his skin for them. That time I was shocked as was expecting a win. This time I would be more shocked if we played well.

Ok it's a nailed on home win but I'd like to see Gestede up front instead of Flabby. At least he tried last night. He's always a nuisance in the box and Ayew could profit from his knock-downs. We would still have a shit defence and midfield but at least we might have more chance of scoring. Oh,  and over 2.5 goals is a no brainer for this one so at least we can make some money out of our misery.

Gestede nuisance in the box errr no he isn't I could out jump and win the ball in the air against him and I'm only 5 foot 5.

Ayew profiting from Gestedes knock downs??? Unless they've abolished the out of play rules and Ayew can stand in the crowd to receive the knock downs then there is as much chance of that as Garde motivating the players.

Gestede knocked the ball down for an Ayew shot from the edge of the box in the second half Tuesday - it was of note because it happens so seldom. He also scored with his head. The other eye-opener was two great crosses from Cisshoko in the first half...

wow that's impressive he's able to knock the ball about, shame it's only when the game is over as a contest and the opposition are just holding us at arms length, if it was 0:0 or 1:0 to everton at the time he scored that goal wouldn't have happened.

I have never seen a player that is worse then Rudy Gestede regardless of who this committee signed i'd sack the lot of them just for signing Gestede.

I'm 100% confident he won't be doing such things in the Premier League and the fact he's seen as a decent championship striker just shows how crap that league is.

How's Benteke doing these days? hardly smashing in the goals at Liverpool is he and lets be honest that's probably the best team he's played (very briefly) with.

if anyone is stupid enough to want him then he should be fucked off along with the likes of westwood, bacuna, gabby et al

they may or may not do a job in the championship, but they are not pl standard so when we come back up they would need to be fucked off, so it needs to be done sooner rather than later

You do realize we are talking about Rudy Gestede not Benteke and the fact he has been brought up is to try and hide the fact I'm correct.

This is the same Gestede that at Everton away Hutton where to pass Hutton looked at him and turned away. The same Gestede that all the players refused to pass to at Sunderland. The same Gestede who despite being a top championship striker lost 99% of air battle vs league 2 Wycombe and the 1% he won were so only on a technicality as the ball just happened to hit his head. The same Gestede that missed a sitter (for a heading ace) vs West Brom.

How the confidence in us getting a result in the pre match threads has plummeted. .now we are just hoping to get away without conceding more than 4/5  goals. To say Lerner has lowered our expectations  is an understatement.
He has took our expectations and shit on them then dumped them in the garbage chute. Along with our proud history.
It's worse...
he's taken our expectations, shit on them, put them on our favourite plate and said "Eat this shit...and get used to it...you're getting it every meal!"
It's very hard to fucking swallow!
