Villa Park, Sunday 9th, 2pm KO.
Back to normality.
2-0
-
Bournemouth have had a great start but their form has been patchy recently.
I think with our first choice midfield, especially Youri being back, we should have too much for them if we convert our chances. And that's my only real concern but I fancy Ollie and Morgan to get one each.
2 1 to us.

4-0.

Time to pop some cherries.

Ermm.....

Another high security police presence.
Could be 4 or 5 Bournemouth based pensioner groups turning up to demonstrate about the possible removal of the triple lock.

I think this will a tight win or more likely a draw. Were just not fluid enough in the final 3rd, and there flying/
1-0 (hopefully), more likely 1-1

They’re doing well but they’ve only won 2 of their last 6 whereas we’ve won 4 over the same period.
-
Important game for us, could do with getting a win. We’ll need to be way better than we were yesterday.
-
1-1
-
Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Kamara, Tielemans, McGinn, Rogers, Buendia, Watkins.
These usually give us a fair old game. Rogers and Buendia will swap a bit. Time to give Maatsen his go ahead of Digne I reckon.
-
4-0.
Ermm.....
Think he meant, Tu x Tu:Tu-Tu

Gonna be annoying having to wait longer for a beer this time.
-
4-0.
Don't you mean 0-2 or a Desmond ?
-
These are good and really like their Manager, should be a good match.
-
They will target Martinez and press really high. He almost cost us again last night so really needs to mix it up against the Cherries. We really need our front 4 to click. Apart from Malen it's difficult to make a case for the other fringe players. Our wide players were so disappointing last night. I'm going 1-1
-
The relief of Thursday being in the past shouldn't be reflected in our approach, on or off the field.
It's a big game although it doesn't feel like it, and in terms of the league we need 3 points.
They will score, so will we.
1-1
-
Rogers always seems to have space v this lot.
I back him to do some damage
3.1 to us
-
Martinez
Cash Konsa Torres Digne
Tielemans Kamara
Malen Rogers McGinn
Watkins
I’d be happy with that, 3-1. FTF!!

Id go with this, other that Digne as Maatsen started on Thursday. They are a good team with a really good manager.
Their away form is patchy this season though.
Tough game, but 2-1 us, Watkins, Rogers.
-
Refreshing to go to VP without trepidation. Apart from the fact that we're playing a team in form, although Liverpool aside we haven't been too shabby so it's an intriguing game where home advantage and a start for Tielemans will give us the victory.
1-0
-
Nee to win by three to leapfrog them and Ure in the table.
About time we hoofed a team, we rarely do it, unconvincing fcvks.

As the actress said to the bishop!

Jim Walker will be signing his book at the Villa Park store pre-match. https://x.com/robbishopavfc/status/1986837821865275770
-
They are a good team that plays decent football, 2-1 to get us climbing up the table please.
-
They don’t play a low block they go for it no matter who they’re playing so could be a few goals in it
-
Just looked back at our home record against them since Unai took charge which coincides with them coming back up. 3-0, 3-1 us and 1-1 last season, when we really should of won. .
-
1-1 last season, when we really should of won. .
Yeah, we should have been 4-0 up going into the last minute when they equalised. Rogers shanked wide from eight yards with nobody around him and their reserve keeper had the sort of match that was normally reserved for Ipswich keepers last season.
-
Don't think Tielemons will start, out for too long, will get a run second half.
-
Hopefully not a repeat of last season...
3-2 us.

At least it didn’t put your nipper off, that was his first wasn't it?

Agreed, I don't think Youri's Jamaican cousin is match fit yet.

They need to be beaten soundly if for no other reason than the ‘AFC’ bullshit.

Justified in their case.

Buendia in goal, Martinez marshaling the midfield. Bold choices, but trust Emery.

Be nice if the site owners could ever fix it so that images work properly. 😕

I'm glad we're not playing 'The Poppies' today. Lest we forget!

4-0.
Blimey!

I know. Look at Guess The Crowd results, as well!

Not buying it. They could have gone with Bournemouth AFC or retained the Athletic, changed it to Town or anything. But oh no, they had to be smart alecs. I am not rational about this.
