Man City v Villa
Barclays Premier League
Saturday March 5
Etihad Stadium
Kick-off: 3pm
-
Surely the poll options should be :-
Narrow Home Win
Easy Home Win
Embarrassing Double Figures Home Win
-
I'm the eternal optimist where Villa are concerned - but if concede early again, I am fearful for what could happen.
-
Can we not forfeit? Waste of everyones time and money.
-
What's the point?
-
Can we not forfeit? Waste of everyones time and money.
Not to Man City it's not.
-
Is there any chance of us retiring hurt at, say 0-5?
-
We must be like a bonus week off it's so easy to beat us. Two early goals, the rest will be like a training match for them.
-
They're going to thump us without even trying. Great.
-
Can we not forfeit? Waste of everyones time and money.
I hadn't realised one of the players posted on here. Can I have your autograph please.
-

Not to Man City it's not.
Correct Goal difference could be crucial to them come the end of the season.
Be afraid, be very afraid
-
Another chance for us away fans to vent our spleen.
Apart from that this match has no relevance whatsoever.
Don't think we'll be doing Leicester or Spurs any favours.
-
First Premier League game to reach double figures? Perhaps this can be our goodbye gift to the Premier League.
-
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
-
We may score 1, they'll probably score at least 4 or 5.
-
Anybody who doesn't pick Aguero as captain of their fantasy this weekend is very brave indeed.
-
Routine humiliation.
-
4-0 City. Richards to describe the match as one of the greatest of his career, just to be able to watch Aguero so closely was an honour.
-
I think Sterling will cause the more trouble if anybody. We're hopeless against pace at the back.
-

Fixed.
-
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.
-
One of our best performances last season.
-
Oh. Fuck. When are the easy games coming up?
-
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.
-
Oh. Fuck. When are the easy games coming up?
Next season.
-
Of our remaining games against Title/Champions League contenders, I am convinced we'll throw a spanner in the works of one of them. Not necessarily a win but perhaps a spirit crushing draw. But it won't be this game.
-
Oh. Fuck. When are the easy games coming up?
Next season.
Pre season :(
-

Either way, it'll be Walsall
-

Fixed.
Further fixed.
-
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.
-
We'll be two down after 10 mins, then City will canter to a 5-0 victory...and someone who has never scored for City will break his duck.
-
I can only see a City win 4-0.

Just thinking...there aren't many records left that we haven't broken. Does anyone think that the heaviest Premier League defeat by any team could be on the cards? Double figures perhaps?
And I'm not joking
-
6-0 defeat. "And they were lucky to get nil." will be the reaction of a smirking Sky Sports analyst on next week.
-
I see the number 8.
If Liverpool can score 6 and Everton 3, I fear the worst.
-
4-0 City. Richards to describe the match as one of the greatest of his career, just to be able to watch Aguero so closely was an honour.
;D
Can see this being an absolute thrashing. 8-0.
-
half time escape to victory, come on we can beat these (looking for slit trench or deep cover)
-
Can we not forfeit? Waste of everyones time and money.
Is that not what we have been doing?
Anyway, make some money out of the misery:
HT/FT ManC/ManC pays 6/5, and
ManC -2 is 6/4.
If you can bear to bet against your own side, it's Quantitative Easing for the Soul. Which, incidentally, was the name of Routine Humiliation's difficult second album.

-
Anybody who doesn't pick Aguero as captain of their fantasy this weekend is very brave indeed.
And play their Triple Points Captain card..
Or a positive view might be that City rest all their top players with a Champions League 2nd leg game only a few days later.
-
It ain't funny anymore..it fuckin hurts.
-

Well they're 8 behind Spurs in goal difference so this would be the ideal game to make that up.
-
each time another pre-match thread pops up a little part of me dies
-
Dreading this one, I think they will score lots and we won't get a corner again in this one.
-
I'd take Okore over Demichelis. Is that a positive?

I seem to remember them resting a great many players for our FA Cup game a few weeks ago.
-
I just want the season to end.
5-0 at least.
-
They could rest a few players and win comfortably. This could be bad. I'd be suprised if we kept it down to 3-0.
-
5-1 defeat
-
5-0 to City.

The CL game isn't the midweek after our game, it's the midweek after. Expect a full team. I honestly wouldn't be amazed if they scored ten.
-
I can feel a record coming. And not a good one.
-
This could be double-figures.
-
this will be a rugby score 12-0
-
Once it gets to three-nil hopefully they'll sit back and take a few players off to rest them for their competitive matches
-
I have total respect for those travelling to the game.
-
Pick a number between 2 and 5
Double it...

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
-
Infinity - Nil
-
10-0.

It does
-
More than 5
-
4-0
-
Man City in 2nd Gear with thoughts elsewhere: 3-0
Man City in ruthless mode: 9-0
-
I've booked Monday off work. Can't decide what's worse to face after a defeat, the jokes or the by now embarrassing sympathy.
-
Probably 7-0.
-
Record defeat: 0–8 (v. Chelsea, Premier League, 23 December 2012).
It will be broken :( on Saturday.
-
4-0 will be surprised with anything less. Specially after them getting battered tonight. Hopefully they will ease up as they have their champions league game to play next week.
-
Cue the backlash on Saturday. We were going to get battered anyway, it will be even worse now after their defeat tonight.
Them 5 or 6, Us 0.
-
Give them the points and let's not play the game. Suits all of us.
-
So far 16 people think we are going to win this.
Drugs or indomitable optimism?
-
The closest Premier League ground to where I live and an offer from a friend to go with him and use his brother's season ticket.
I've declined and am going with the missus to a matinee at the theatre. I doubt I'll regret that decision.
-
10 nil City. Cant believe 16 people think we'll beat them
-
What's that you say? Club in crisis? Lost their last 3 and now out of the title race? Don't worry Villa are here to help. Advance to next week, if you pass the Villa team bus collect 3 points and be on your way.
5-0
-
I've gone for an unlikely draw because I'm bored with predicting defeats.
-
Aguero and Sterling vs the worst defence in the prem. Could get ugly.
-
Oh. Fuck. When are the easy games coming up?
Next season.
Don't you mean the season after next???
What are the 18 people who think we'll win on????
-
4-0 will be surprised with anything less. Specially after them getting battered tonight. Hopefully they will ease up as they have their champions league game to play next week.
Unfortunately they are not due to play again in the Champions League until the following midweek so we'll get torn a new one
-
It's going to be an absolute hiding. 5-0. Usual drivel from Garde and Richards afterwards.

Only afterwards?

Ha ha, fair point.

I think City will probably declare when they reach 150 then put us in to bat.
-
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.
Edit : Oops, missed out the all important I before just.
-
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'd take a 4-0 defeat now. 4-1 would surprise me.

Scoring 1 and restricting them to only 4 is as good as a victory for me. In fact, if they score less than 6 against us, I'll be texting all my Man City mates to tek the piss.
-
Citeh 5 Villa 1
-
Triple Captain Aguero in Fantasy Football is my sage advice

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.
-
A pointless excersise, an absolute thumping by Man City's fringe XI, I just hope they stop at around 7-8, but I fear we have seen nothing yet.
-
I'd play the kids in this one. Fuck it; what have we got to lose.
-
2-1 Villa. Sinclair, Richards. Lescott MOM. Bacuna with 2 assists. Westwood sent off for a 2 footed reducer late on.
-

Getting Westwood to use one foot is the big challenge.
-
2-1 Villa. Sinclair, Richards. Lescott MOM. Bacuna with 2 assists. Westwood sent off for a 2 footed reducer late on.
We've got more chance of Clive Sinclair and Keith Richards scoring.

Nice one Herbert - you never fail to make me laugh when I come on here :)
-
Richards couldn't mark a child's homework let alone a premiership striker so leave that fucker at home.
-
In view of their recent exertions, hoping tiredness and they will declare around 60 mins. Admittedly they will probably be about 6 up by then, but I would settle for that.
-
2-1 Villa. Sinclair, Richards. Lescott MOM. Bacuna with 2 assists. Westwood sent off for a 2 footed reducer late on.
A second yellow for persistent pointing more like.
-
At least City are not coming off the back of a hammering, will not be parading some silverware in front of their fans........Doh.
8-0 Citeh.
-
Loss.
-
Us 0 Liverpool 6
Liverpool 3 citeh 0.
all is not lost.
I'm on a bender all day Saturday. No checking my phone. No trying to catch the scores on ssn. Watch some twat go an spoil the day with "av you eard the Villa score"
to which I'll reply "unless were winning, fuck off"
-
If we score a goal and they score less than twelvety it will be a moral victory and I will dance a jig naked around a bonfire in Manor Farm Park chanting "Villa are back, Hello, Goodbye".
-
And no doubt Micah Richards will the next in the long line of Villa employees to wave, smile and generally gush at opposing fans whilst his side bends over to be royally shafted by his former club. A post match tweet about how great it was to be back at 'his' club wouldn't go amiss either.
File alongside D. O'Leary, G. Houllier and R. Wilkins.

Selfies with Lescott no doubt
-
This is an o-F*%k game for us. Citeh coming off a loss as well. I'm hibernating.
-
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.
-
If you're going up there tomorrow give the Etihad a swerve and go to Media City instead to watch the marathon 5 aside for Sport Relief I'm certain it'll be a lot more enjoyable than watching another abject surrender.
-
I am having nothing to do with the fixture tomorrow. I will be trying to win tickets in the amusement arcade, swimming, bowling and watching the Rory the Tiger show. Infinitely more enjoyable.
7-0.

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...
-
Tomorrow is going to be about as enjoyable as root canal surgery without anaesthetic.
-
I've put Sagna and Kompany back in my Fantasy League defence, and made Aguero captain. That's probably our best hope of getting anything out of it.
-
Tomorrow is going to be about as enjoyable as root canal surgery without anaesthetic.
I'm going tomorrow and looking forward to it ( even though i know we will loose 5 , 6 or 7 nil )
I will have a good drink before the match , a sing song in the ground and at half time ,
then after the match ,something from a chip shop and at least another 6 pints before train back to brum at 9pm

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.
-
So far 16 people think we are going to win this.
Drugs or indomitable optimism?
Man City fans logged onto the wrong site.
-
Plenty of snow by all accounts in Manchester - maybe they'll call it off (and not bother re-arranging it)

It has been snowing all day here but has now stopped - shame as I had been hoping that it would have been called off!
-

I'd pick a team out of the fans that are circling the ground before the game starts. Seriously, the dedication shown by them alone makes them worthier of the shirt than most of the players who will actually be taking to the field.
-
If it's called off the Pools Panel will probably announce it as an away win (if they still exist.)
-
Given Stuart's track record when commenting on our strikers I fully expect Rudy to start smashing them in on a regular basis.

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.
-
You must have slept your way through Benteke scoring 1 in 2 for us.

I definitely slept through his 2 in 24 last season
-
But if any of you think a Footballer who can't use his feet and very rarely is any good with his head (which is allegedly his strong point) then you're going to be very much disappointed.
-
Haha, is this same chap who slaughtered Benteke when he first came then disappeared when he realised he'd made an arse of himself?

gestede is dog shit
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
-
Can't see us losing this one. A comfortable awya win.
-
Haha, is this same chap who slaughtered Benteke when he first came then disappeared when he realised he'd made an arse of himself?
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.

I'm not questioning your views on Gestede, just that you were so horribly wrong about Benteke.

i think gestedes season more or less finished when amavi got injured as he was the only one giving him good service , anyway as its man city tomorrow , i remember when they was shit and they had shaun goater playing for them, they used to sing , feed the goat and he will score , the same could apply to gestede
-
What time do we kick off this Saturday? Every ten minutes?

AVFC are saying that if they find out who the person was who threw a coin at jack butland last week he will be banned from Villa Park
28 thousand people have come forward to say it was me
-

Yep. We all talk shit at times. This guy doesn't know when to quit.
-
Do we really have to? Seriously if we don't turn up it's a 3-0 defeat and fine isn't it.
Guess I'll have to get the abacus out for this, I did laugh on the O/S preview they have Aguero and Gestede in the same picture!

Well they can't have Aguero and Gabby without a wide angle lens.
-
Boy City must be so releaf they are facing us right now. 4-0 >:(
-
we held them to a draw back in november but cant see us doing the same today. At least 3 goals to man city
-
Away win
I gotta be right one day
Haven't I ??
-
Away win

Not today
-
A day when the extra digit of a Boggie hand might come in, ahem, handy - as a means of keeping score. That said, I'm feeling uber-positive this morning, so Citeh might just fail to reach double figures.
8-1
-
Lee Mason is the ref who from memory is piss poor and will give Man City everything.
-
6-0
Lescott, Richards, Bacuna, Westwood, Richardson, Hutton, Okore, Agbonlahor, Guzan all to play some part. Certainly all will be at fault somewhere, leading to at least three of City's goals. I hate them all. I'd love us to win, be happy with a point, expect to get thumped.
I'm hoping Garde surprises us with a dynamic lineup,but I'm not holding my breath.
Good luck Villa and to those that travel to the game/follow itvby radio,internet or teletext/message in a bottle.

Can't see anything but a pants-down spanking. Just hope they ease up once the game's won by half time. Just want this season to be over

Lee Mason is the ref who from memory is piss poor and will give Man City everything.
Yes Clampy, he is an absolute blot on civilisation. I hope the refs are better in the lower leagues if we are to go down.

Nailed on cert!

This'll be fun.

Odds on a 0-2 villa win? 80-1.
Says it all.

Money-grabbing bastards. That should be at least 200s.

Gestede looks like he will start. Grealish, Sanchez and Traore all out.

They won't ease up. They need to improve their goal difference.
And along comes the easy touch that is Aston Villa.

I think he's better coming off the bench personally.

So do I, but if the other option is Agbonlahor then there is no choice.

I for one will be doing my marking duties this afternoon.

Oh. Fuck. When are the easy games coming up?
Next season.
You reckon next season's going to be easy?
-
The only good thing about this fixture is that it's only down the road. I wish we weren't bothering with it.

If we get to 10 mins without conceding the champagne's coming out.

Unlike any of our back four!
I will be planning for a lesson observation I have this week.

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!"

This morning, I decided that they will score on 11 minutes. I think I shall follow your example for I would rather go down drinking bubbly than ranting at my stream.

I have stocked up on rioja for this game. Won't wait until things go pear shaped to start on them..won't wait till kick off to start on them. Probably before the game will open one..helps numb the pain.
