Sunderland v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Mossie Hennebry]

I think it will either be a 0-0 draw, or 1-0 to the winners. Only Gestede is capable of scoring for us and I would take a punt on van Aanholt for them. I can't see any of Grealish, Gil or Traore being started as the opposition are capable of being quite physical.

Guzan; Hutton, Bacuna, Richards, Okore; Gana, Veretout, Sanchez, Richardson, Sinclair: Gestede.
Subs: Bunn, Lyden, Clark, Gil, Grealish, Traore, Hepburn-Murphy.

Anyone see football focus? What is Mark Lawrensons problem with Villa?  Never heard him say anything positive about us. Always putting us down. "Why would Loic Remy go to Villa" "villa going down " etc etc. Can't wait to put the boot in on us. Can't stand the twat. 

What do you expect, what's to be positive about?

He has always put the boot in not just now.  And he definitely enjoys it.

Even if you're right, he's one of many that are having a field day ripping into our shambolic mob. We've become a laughing stock now - and who can honestly say that this hasn't been coming? What gets me is the complete lack of sympathy for the poor sods who've had to watch this rubbish for so long. Still, we'll just have to suck-it-up until such times when we finally have a side that shows we aren't a club synonymous with abject failure. What doesn't kill ya makes you stronger. UTV.

He's right though. Why would Remy come here? And we are going down.

That's the spirit mate. Did you see the guy on here who is travelling from Sussex on numerous trains and spending fortunes following the Villa? Now that's the way to support the boys.

So you think Remy will come to us and we'll stay up? I'm not sure even Frank believes that

Dunno but I live in hope.
