Manchester City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[levico]

We are disorganised, non-disciplined and have a defence like a sieve

We will be lucky to keep it down to 4

Totally agree. I'm sure we all hope we are wrong but it doesn't look likely unless Man City get complacent like they did against Everton.

Everton went there organised with a game plan and a very solid midfield
Don't think we can replicate that

Under normal circumstances we'd always get beat up there, no matter how good or (more likely) bad they are.

Two wins in twenty years or something like that.

However, this time will be different. Its the first time in a couple of decades that they're actually a better side than us and thus the jinx is broken.

2-0 Villa win.

[Lizz]

Real life for me has a lot of opportunities for improvement at the moment, so I'll go for wild optimism, and predict a Villa win.

Whenever I think of Man City, the image I get in my mind is Paul Walsh scoring in the FA Cup, pissing it down with rain and us stood in the Kippax. Its always grim up there, but as I said, the spell is broken.

I was stopped by a bearded man in a woolly hat on Witton Lane who told me we will be in the bottom three next Sunday.

Up yours, grim hairy Teiresias.

Despair that tires the world brings the old man laughter.
The laughter of the world only grieves him,
deceives him,
The old man's guide is chance.

Yes, there's a lot of it about.

Going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

I was at that one.  Soaked to the fucking skin.  SEem to remember Fashanu missing a sitter.

[Monty]

God if we lose this I'll be utterly in despair. Not because I think we're going to get relegated or anything, just losing to Spurs, Blues and this lot all in the same season? I wouldn't cope.

[picicata]

We're gonna get dicked 4-0.. and then Houllier will come out and say he felt we deserved a draw. Inspiring stuff.

City 4 Villa 0

John for us or Justin for them?
