Manchester City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[WikiVilla]

Can't recall the last time I've not looked forward to a Villa game, the next 2 games could be painful, making Sunderland a massive game

[PaulWinch again]

I think we are probably going to get thumped here, not much of a birthday present!

[ROBBO]

The worry isn't that we'll get beaten thats a given it's by how many. We need to stay competative just to keep some morale in the team. Will AY be availeable?

[Shrek]

I think we have a chance here, if our defence doesnt make any mistakes.

Spurs are the most attacking team in the league, so don't be too down beat after that result.

With Petrov and NRC back we should be more solid in midfield.

I'm going 1-1 Gabby Tevez.

[Simba]

PaulWinch - Happy Birthday. I am sure we all got the hint.

I see a flaw in your cunning plan Baldrick

[PaulTheVillan]

I would also go with.

Friedel
Lichaj, Cuellar, Clark, Warnock
Albrighton, Delph, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Downing
Agbonlahor

Thanks Simba, I am just hoping Villa buck the recent trend and surprise me!

[JUAN PABLO]

I would also go with.

Friedel
Lichaj, Cuellar, Clark, Warnock
Albrighton, Delph, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Downing
Agbonlahor

thats the team for me... 

[WikiVilla]

Would drop warnock 

[Karl Bridges]

I would take a boring 0-0 if offered it now.

[Clark W Griswold]

I would also go with.

Friedel
Lichaj, Cuellar, Clark, Warnock
Albrighton, Delph, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Downing
Agbonlahor

Yep, that looks about the best in the absence of Heskey and the Youngs (not sure if they are available). Still be 3-0 defeat though.

[garyshawsknee]

I can't anything but a drubbing today,we don't do well at City even when we are playing well. We really need to get back to the basics like closing down and defending well,dont think it'll start to day though. Them 3 Us 1.

Boxing Day ?

You know that your going to get a thumping when the only optimism you have about a Villa game is that the opposition striker is captain of your fantasy team.
Therefore 0-3, Gabby x2, Warnock
