Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Pre-Match Shenanigans

[Monty]

Has to be Zaniolo over Bailey for me.

[RamboandBruno]

Me to, just not sure that’ll be the case

[Clampy]

I think Rambo's team be it unless Unai has spotted a weakness in their team and has a cunning plan.

Roy Hodgson taken ill so not at the match. Wish me well but that’s not going to help us.

Mate, what's got into you? You're doing a bit of a Wilma impression at the mo!

[Clampy]

Poor Roy. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Errrm…I see what you mean and it’s scary. In my defence I am very nervous about the match later😩

Just bear in mind it's a slippery, loose-pebbled slope down to, well, Bedrock.

Poor Roy. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Echoed, hopefully he's just a bit under the weather.

[Risso]

In what way is their manager not being at the game going to be anything other than a hindrance for them?

[Dave]

Poor Roy. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Probably just regurgitating a pellet.

[German James]

Poor Roy. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Probably just regurgitating a pellet.

Very good

HWWOW about to say a few words outside in the Trinity fan park.

[wince]

The media are already onto us following the batterings at Newcastle & Liverpool. They very much see us as mid table and last season was a blip. Games like today we have to win. Huge game.

Fuck the media and I hope they absolutely hate us. General national view of Birmingham is that we ain’t worth much. Let’s do it in the pitch and have the media crawl to us. I like we are not seen as a threat because we are Aston fucking Villa and we don’t need them. Now let’s batter these cockney chancers

[Bad English]

Cash-Konsa-Torres-Digne would be a sensible back four in the circumstances.

Yep agree.
I think the only potential uncertainty with the starting 11 is Bailey or Zaniolo. I would like to see Zaniolo unleashed at Villa Park, but think he might start with Bailey. So,

Martinez
Cash
Konsa
Torres
Digne
Kamara
Luiz
McGinn
Watkins
Diaby
Bailey

Good effort. No cigar. ;-)
