Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans, have you got your phone using Comic Sans or something disturbingly similar?

Impressed. 9.5 due to the fact he cannot spell Grealish or Bacuna properly, either.

I'm going to this one. My only previous VP appearance this season was Hull, where we actually scored twice. More of the same please. 2-0 Villa.

Oddly, he spelled Clark correctly.

Wrong thread I know but I love repeating this whenever we play them. In the 1970's they had a striker called Gerry Queen scottish he was.
Anyway following a run of non scoring he had a consecutive spell of about eleven games as sub. This made him very unhappy indeed so he contacted the gentlemen of the gutter sporting press.

The next day The Sun (or The Mirror) had this headline on the back page.

Queen says I'm scivvy at Palace!

I'm looking forward to a villa win today. I'm feeling optimistic. I hope i'm not setting myself up for 'Totes devo'.

Desperate for a win but I think it will be a boring 0-0.

The (I'll get round to making it official one day) wife's coming again today. She's now 5 unbeaten. However, her aggregate scoreline is a measly 3-2. If she doesn't start turning things around soon, she'll find herself back behind my Emergency Football Mate in the spare-ticket pecking order; me and the EFM have never seen us score fewer than two. That said, 3-0, and me to get a cracking view of Pardew's wincing, punchable face.

Fifa tells me it'll be 3-0. A Benteke hattrick. But this is under the proviso that we start with Bacuna and Grealish. Leandro sets up the first two, and Grealish the 3rd.
Sanchez to absolutely boss the midfield.

Just arrived in Nechells. Blustery and grey, not pleasant. Let's hope the football brings some cheer.

@villanews2day: #AVFC XI vs #CPFC: Guzan, Hutton, Vlaar, Okore, Cissokho, Sanchez, Bacuna, Cleverley, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

Good lord - cleverly and Weimann and gabby
