Freddie Guilbert will impress SG now he’s watching him up close and play his way into the 1st team squad for next season
England will struggle in the World Cup and Gerrard will be installed as favourite to take the managers job in the new year
Carney will sign a new contract with Villa at the end of next season
-
Villa will win the FA Cup.
Sorry, I suppose replies were supposed to be at least remotely plausible.
-
Villa don’t draw Man Utd in round 3 of the FA cup
-
Jacob Ramsey will play for England
Carney will sign a new contract when we return from Australia.
-
Richard E has beaten me to it. I also believe Villa will win the FA Cup. But then I also believe that if I watch Day of the Jackal enough times De Gaulle will get shot.

FFS, I haven't seen that yet!

Sorry CD. I don't know how to do those spoiler alert thingies.

Sorry CD. I don't know how to do those spoiler alert thingies.
He was taking the piss
-
I think he knew, really. 🙂
-
Anyway, I'll go with: we don't lose at Brentford.
Fulham survive comfortably, Newcastle challenge for Europe, nobody competing with Small Heath to avoid the drop gets a points deduction. And, fuck it, Villa win a trophy.
-
Villa will win the FA Cup.
Sorry, I suppose replies were supposed to be at least remotely plausible.
Beat me to it
-
Danny Ings will reach a double figures goal tally.
-
Jacob Ramsey will play for England
Carney will sign a new contract when we return from Australia.
I agree with both.
-
Wolves will get relegated .
-
Villa to win a trophy
Small Health finally go down
All of the newly promoted sides stay up
-
Steve Bruce gets WBA near the play off picture by rolling his sleeves up and pulling his socks up.
Coutinhio takes over free kick duties from Dougie Luiz.
And scores one to win us the FA Cup.
-
Wolves will get relegated .
I'm going with one, plus we'll qualify for the Champions League then lose to Rapid Vienna in the qualifier.
-
Tyrone Mings will finally be appreciated by ALL for the top, top player he is.
-
We win the FA Cup.
Kamara gets injured in his first game.
Harry Winks replaces him.
Chukwemeka signs a new deal then gets loaned out to Barrow.
Billy Graham's son plays Villa Park.
It get's hotter.
-
Dougie scores from a free kick, Coutinho belts one in from outside the area, and Flint5tone posts something positive about the squad / transfer window / Purslow.
-
Yanited won't get at least one soft pen in either of our league games against them.
Brendan Rodgers to be managing the Villa by Jan.
Micah Richards to host a revised version of QI.
-
Flint5tone posts something positive about the squad / transfer window / Purslow.
Come on now, we've all had a drink.
-
Archer will score more prem goals than Ings and Watkins this season.
-
The 2023 FA Cup Final will be between Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
-
Legion wins the lottery.
-
But loses his ticket.
-
Luiz will score from 3 direct free kicks.
-
Flint5tone posts something positive about the squad / transfer window / Purslow.
Come on now, we've all had a drink.
There is always one person who ruins everything and takes things a little too far.
-
Luiz will score from 3 direct free kicks.
He will need to get it over the wall three times in order to do that. Small steps
-
Think we will give it our all for that prestigious 14th spot in the league. We will also make it all the way to the 2nd round of the league cup before narrowly losing to Accrington Stanley and will put up a really decent performance in the 3rd round of the FA cup before going out on penalties to Sutton United.
-
Aston Villa Women get a pinned thread.
-
Villa will beat Manchester United in the league at Villa Park.
-
We beat Man City
Emi M leaves at the end of the season for 40m plus
Someone other then ings or Watkins makes double figures for goals
Kourts gets a Uk number 1 single
Mings is captain
SG leaves at the end of the season with some PR spin intended to make both him and Villa look good
-
Villa will beat Manchester United in the league at Villa Park.
Let's have a look at Legion's lottery ticket again.
-
Explosive start to the season. Lull around Christmas time and we then settle for seventh with a feeling we could've did better. Another League Cup final. Still can't beat City who swoop for Leon Bailey at the end of the season whilst Grealish makes it known he feels he's being wasted at City and agitates for a Villa return.
-
It might just be my pessimism getting the better of me but I just think that we may have over hyped Ramsey so my unlikely prediction (going by everyone's preffered XI's) is that after around 10 games he won't be a regular starter anymore, especially if we do get the rumoured top CM on our list.
-
We're going to win the treble. Fuck it, why enter a tournament you have zero hope of winning? That's not sport.
It is highly unlikely, but bollocks to it, let's do it.
-
At least one Villa player gets a World Cup winner’s medal.
-
At least one Villa player gets a World Cup winner’s medal.
Let me guess. Matty Cash?
-
Now that really would be a turn up.
-
Who are you backing Hillbilly? I forget there's even a world cup coming up, to be honest. Hadn't even started thinking about it.
-
At least one Villa player gets a World Cup winner’s medal.
Jonathan David? Future Villa player, hopefully.
-
Can’t see much beyond Argentina or Brazil. But then again I’m hopeless at prediction.
-
Kamara will be like prime Kante for three games then Ashley Westwood after that.
We will be at home to a league one team in the fa cup 3rd round.
Sunderland will make the playoffs at least.
-
Bamford pfffft
-
Leeds fans to realise that they’re not the innocent victims, it’s their team who are thugs, and that when you get that reputation and you wind the opposition up you are going to get some back too.
-
Tyrone Mings will finally be appreciated by ALL for the top, top player he is.
ALL players matter.
-
I will be served quickly and efficiently in the Lower Holte concourse.
-
Sky will go longer than 7 days, without showing a live Man Utd match.

Well, sometimes they're on BT...

Tyrone Mings will finally be appreciated by ALL for the top, top player he is.
And Watkins will take on his crown as chief scapegoat for the season….just think of the career Andy Cole wouldn’t have had if social media wierdos had been around in the 90’s

Andy Cole who was a great finisher who scored loads of goals? How is he compaarable to Watkins?

It's easily comparable. Compared to Andy Cole, Watkins isn't a very good finisher, and has the first touch of Joe Bugner.
-
I think the suggestion is based on the fact that Cole, after being absolutely lethal at Newcastle did miss a lot of chances at Man Utd comparatively, that was what most were saying at the time. He was a considerably better finisher than Watkins though, who's best strength is his hard work and team play.
Anyway, unlikely, Villa to have 3 players in the England W/C squad; off the wall, Villa get going again straight after the WC.

93 league goals in 191 appearances for Man U though, I'd take that all day long!
-
Absolutely. It's what we need now, although i know i'm being greedy by saying we need someone with that goal average and the ability to hold up play and bring others into the game as well!

To right
and if we can find someone like Dwight Yorke to go alongside him even better
-
55 in 70 for Newcastle. Shit me! How much would he be worth now?
I think i read a story that we tried to get him from Bristol before Newcastle did, but something went tits up, possibly being Dougs fault or maybe even Big Ron's fault but can't remember exactly.

Some of those 55 would have been at what is now Championship level but impressive nevertheless.
-
Didn't we claim we tried to sign him from Newcastle, same as we claimed we wanted Van Nistelrooy before Man U did? Almost like Doug was full of absolute shit.

I did wonder that, yes 12 in 12 in the championship, but in addition an overall record afterwards of 56 in 72 in all competitions.

And Frank Lampard...
-

I think we were 'in the running' for Lineker and he went to Spurs, Shearer and he went to Blackburn, Cole and he went to Newcastle, Gazza and he went to Rangers, Ferdinand and he went to Newcastle, possibly Bergkamp as well before Arsenal?, Frank Lampard and he went to Chelsea, Juninho, Roberto Carlos, Christian Vieri, Benny McCarthy, Steve Bull, Carlton Palmer etc etc, etc....
-
There's a mention of it in SGT's programme notes around the time, he wanted Lineker after we got promoted but it would have meant using the entire transfer budget for the next 18 months.
Just imagine, no Nigel Callaghan...

Or Cascarino and Penrice !

Andy Cole and Pippo Inzaghi were born offside as the saying goes. Goal-hanging bastids.

I went to a evening with he who walks on water a couple of weeks back, he said he wanted to sign Cole but there was no chance of getting him.

Venglos signed Penrice.

Venglos signed Penrice.
Might not have had the funds though had we got Lineker!
SGT did a brilliant job with us, and he signed Platt, McGrath and Yorke for a combined sum of £700,000 or so which wasn't even a great deal then. Other managers since have made some great signings, Big Ron a team full of them. I think a lot of the ones i mentioned were pie in the sky and most likely bigged up by Doug that we were 'in the running' to sell season tickets.
The infuriating ones were Juninho and Robbie Keane who he just needed to go a little further with the finances to secure but didn't.
-
Gerrard gone by Christmas
-
England canter to their first legitimate World Cup triumph, despite H&V collectively moaning like fuck after every victory along the way.
-
Gerrard gone by Christmas
That's not unlikely as such - big window from world cup up to Boxing day.
-

I think Villa Park is mentioned as one of the few grounds that Gary Lineker never scored at
A stat that probably wouldn’t have changed even if he’d signed for us

A similar thing with Les Ferdinand under Brian, worked out for the best in the end.
-
12th.
Quarter final of league cup.
Knocked out FA cup early rounds by top 4 club.
All round another season feeling deflated after the club overprice and overpromise
-
Dougie scores from a free kick, Coutinho belts one in from outside the area, and Flint5tone posts something positive about the squad / transfer window / Purslow.
I really hope I'm in the position to do so
-
-
I agree with flin. I too think it's unlikely we'll finish as low as 12th, while only making it as far as the quarter finals of league cup, and getting knocked out of the FA Cup early rounds. Preposterous notions!
-
I went to a evening with he who walks on water a couple of weeks back, he said he wanted to sign Cole but there was no chance of getting him.
With all due respect to the great one, that's a bit of a non anecdote. "I wanted to buy one of the best strikers on the league but turns out he didn't want to play for Villa". Shocked emoji.

This thread is for unlikely and off the wall predictions. This is EXACTLY what I thought you’d say.
-
We will beat Utd at home with a 98th Minute winner. VAR will then check the goal can stand for a world record 15 minutes.

I agree with eamonn.
I'm humbled, but wasn't upset by mean meanie Meanwood's post, it's fair comment.
What I will say in context was that I'd always suspected that Brian would've preferred Cole, and he offered that up unprompted when discussing signing Stan.
Also, although Cole's record is fantastic, at that time there were question marks over him at Man Utd, he'd struggled a bit initially and this was in an era of loads of super centre forwards, Shearer, Fowler, Wright, Sutton, Ferdinand, Cantona would probably all been higher rated than Cole, plus he had Solksjear breathing down his neck.
At that point, with our stock at it's highest for ages, it wasn't inconceivable that the move could happen if Ferguson thought he could get better elsewhere.
It was really when they bought Yorke that Cole took off as well, the bastards.
-
There was talk at the time they were sniffing round Yorke that Cole would come in a part ex.
-
A coherent plan and consistent execution
Winning 12 at home and 6 away
Achieving the potential in the squad
Cup semi final at least
The design of the new north stand to be the most beautiful building in Birmingham
-
Brendan Rogers in charge of villa by Easter.
-
We surprise all and sundry and finish 6th playing some attractive attacking football - taking Wet Spams position in the mix.
Leon Bailey comes alive and we start getting requests for Kamara once the scum 6 realise they missed a superstar.
League cup - lots of changes to team meaning we go out pretty soon
FA cup - we take more serious - we do not get Mancunts United at any point, especially 3rd round but go out unluckily at semi stage
Spurs (little bit of sick in my mouth) run city closest to title but city pip them
Liverpool finish outside top 4
Mancunts United change Manager when they realise yet another Emperors new clothes appointment fails to live up to the manufactured hype by the media.
Arsenal finish 3rd
Everton continue to struggle and part with Lampard mid season
Bournemouth, Brentford and Leeds to go down
The morons down the road have a small glimmer of hope before it all comes crashing into reality and the turds finally get flushed to League 1
-
Finish 6th,above Man Utd.
Kesler- Hayden ends the season on the right side of midfield.
Controversial exit in later stages of Cup.
Southampton,Bournemouth and Leeds relegated.
Chukwuemeka dissatisfied with playing time at his new club.
Norwich promoted.

There are a fair few predictions on here that are neither unlikely or off the wall. I think in part it's due to the fact that no one wants to go really off the wall in case it comes back to haunt them. On that basis I think there should be an agreement that anything in this thread stays in this thread.
For predictions:
Leicester will struggle and be firmly in the bottom half, maybe even in the relegation battle.
Liverpool will fall back a bit but still make the top 4.
Nunez will struggle to settle in and look out of place until at least after the world cup.
Chuk will sign a new contract with us in a few weeks and will be a regular off the bench over the season.
Kamara will be considered our best player by the end of the season and we'll have a summer of him being linked with moves for big money next year.
We'll be in the mix for Europe, mostly because of a good run of results iearly on gets disrupted by the world cup and we never quite get back to the same level.
-
Ollie Watkins first touch matches that of JPA.
Ashley Young comes on and spends the second half smiling and giving verbal encouragement to the refs and linesmen.
Craig Gardener goes on Mastermind, his specialist subject is Craig Gaardener and he manages to get 3 right, passed on 7 with 1 wrong answer to the question who is the biggest club in the Midlands when he responded Blackburn Rovers.
Concern surrounding Steve Gerrard as he responds to all interview questions with Listen to my heart.

But... it already has! Bow down before the Oracle of Risso.
-
There are a fair few predictions on here that are neither unlikely or off the wall.
I agree with this and most of your predictions apart from the Chuk contract one.
I think Liverpool will struggle to finish 2nd and Kamara may well be one of the "buys" of the season. I also think we'll do better than many outsiders or people on here think.
-
Bailey to play several games in a row without breaking a fingernail and needing a couple of months off.
-

I think the chuk one is definitely the most unlikely but it is the point of the thread.
-
We learn to keep the ball and look like a team that trains together.
-
Every player given great reviews after each game by everyone.

I'm generally optimistic anyway, but I too think we're in for a better than expected season. I reckon we might be in the running for Champions League spots.
Every season since Mr shitty shoes left has meant a big overhaul, but not this one. We're going to rip it up with the feel of the 95-96 season, I can't wait.
Cam to be the new Dwight Yorke breakthrough star.

Benni McCarthy will finally sign.

After their current pre season, where yesterday Lampard has lambasted the squads attitude he might struggle to get to Sept / October
-
We keep Keinan Davis and he is fit for the entire season
-
Newcastle spunk £200 m on players and get relegated.
-
With half season gone this is a great read from our fellow posters!
Some classic.
-
Villa will beat Manchester United in the league at Villa Park.
Let's have a look at Legion's lottery ticket again.
Legion you in the draw for the big Euromilions tomorrow then?
-
We learn to keep the ball and look like a team that trains together.
Emery has us doing that so yes great prediction!
-
Gerrard gone by Christmas
That's not unlikely as such - big window from world cup up to Boxing day.
Great Call.
-
Pointless given the Manager change.
-
Villa don’t draw Man Utd in round 3 of the FA cup
wrong cup... not that the 3rd round of the FA cup went much better than normal
-
At least one Villa player gets a World Cup winner’s medal.
this aged excellently...
-
Anyway, I'll go with: we don't lose at Brentford.
Fulham survive comfortably, Newcastle challenge for Europe, nobody competing with Small Heath to avoid the drop gets a points deduction. And, fuck it, Villa win a trophy.
Brilliant shouts.
-
Wolves will get relegated .
Could well be!
-
We will be at home to a league one team in the fa cup 3rd round.
Even better, it was a League 2 club. Oh!
-
In February 23 I'm making these forecasts.
1. Beat Man City away 12th February
2. Beat Brighton final day of the season.
3. We will finish 7
4. Leon Bailey will be top scorer
5. Douglas Luiz will be top assist maker

Been waiting for the end of the season on this but I'm pretty happy with them. Got us back to front on the world cup and wrong on chuk but pretty good otherwise.
-
Strange, I actually thought Chuk went to Chelsea as soon as last season finished so was thinking it was off the wall prediction that we'd get him back!
Surprised it took until August for him to go.

Oh sure. Sorry I went early but wanted to acknowledge that Leicester one!
Very good all round!

Dougie scores from a free kick, Coutinho belts one in from outside the area, and Flint5tone posts something positive about the squad / transfer window / Purslow.
I really hope I'm in the position to do so
It happend Free kick goal achieved!!
And We're in 7th position so literally can do so Flinty!
-
Next season, Spuds (without Kane) will be the new Leicester. Relegation fodder.
They are crap.
-
Some really good ones. One Villa player did indeed get a World Cup medal. We did indeed start playing attractive football. Steeeeeeevieeeeee G was indeed gone by Christmas.

I wrote this on February 3rd, and I really hope it still applies today. However, the greater picture doesn't depend on me getting things correct and excuse the self indulgence.
I simply wanted to mention something since I sometimes misinterpret the diverse interpretations of posters on this topic as I try to understand that some of the posts here are more humorous offerings. As they are in other threads.
Realising that it's not always the case, people are looking for accuracy, like I do, when predicting events that are thought to be unlikely.
Sorry about that. I do think every conception was wonderful on this topic!
Now I'll leave you beauties of H and V for the season. I enjoyed posting and reading on a lot of topics on the main board. It's trying to understand how people think when discussing and debating.
I'm all getting excited about Villa and the end of term feel today and the holiday.
And I'll be on break and no posts later since there will be too many things happening for me, and some people give the impression I'm ruining their enjoyment of H and V, so that will be good for them too (even though it's disappointing as it's just a case of different thinking).
Thanks to all for a great forum season!
May God be with you.
And yes, whoever you view as God is open to interpretation.
I know it's understood as McGrath in football circles!
Up the Villa!

Up the Villa, footy.
Hope your Brighton prediction comes true

Hope Bailey scores 10 and finishes the season as top scorer as well! ;)

Worryingly Footy none of you predictions have come to be. Even Dougie is joint top with Ollie and JJ for assists but there is still hope....
