Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

[pedro25]

We struggle against 10 men usually so it wouldn't necessarilly be to our advantage.

[Mazrim]

Elmohammody is a doubt as well

You see? I've never heard of him but is he the red one who falls over laughing or the weird comedian with the bowl head?

[Holtenderinthesky]

Disppointing that Cattermole is out, there goes our chance of playing a decent spell of the match against ten men.

Like against Spurs?

Yes, just like that

[Risso]

I didn't realise how many decent players they are probably missing the neet. I am further encouraged.

Who is out for them?  I thought it's just Cattermole and Onuoha.  Bent, Gyan and Wellbeck are all fit apparently.

Turner, Campbell, Cattermole, Onuoha...erm... some others. I thought Gyan was out?
Bear in mind I dont pay much attention to Sunderland or who plays for them usually.

I hope Marco Gabbiadini is out.  Be nice to see Dariusz Kubicki again though.

I reckon this will be a tight game but am going for the Villa to sneak it 2-1.

[PaulWinch again]

We really need to build on the Chelsea performance, but it's crucial we win tonight regardless of how we play.

[brackley]

This game is bigger than the Cup Final IMO
A loss would be catastrophic
I believe we will build on the Cheski game and win though
A clean sheet would be a big plus

That's a bloody awful poem!

This game is bigger than the Cup Final,

A loss would be catastrophic,

I believe we'll build on the Chelsea game.

Or i'll be an alcoholic.

[Mazrim]

If you think a league game in the middle of a league campaign is more important than a cup final I would suggest you are an alcoholic. A particularly committed one at that.

[Risso]

He was being poetic Maz.

[Mazrim]

Yes, I know. I was refering to anybody thinking in such a way and not directed towards brackley.

Now let me try and get that into a Haiku...

[Michel Sibble]

Bad feeling about this one.

0-1 (Gyan)

[Dave Cooper please]

Written in blank verse I reckon.

3-1 Villa, gabby will score

[Chris Jameson]

1-0 Villa win against 9 man Sunderland.

Penalty scored by somebody or other at some stage in the second half. Probably.
