Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

[JJ-AV]

3-2 Villa

End to end stuff for the first half, but somehow it's only 1-1. Second half calms down and we start to boss it and are 3-1 up by the 65th minute, they make a couple of changes to their system and we start to drop off and it's 3-2 by the 74th minute. We're all thinking 'here we go' and they dominate us, creating numerous chances but we somehow (via luck, deflections and an inform Friedel) manage to hold on for the three points.

[CJ]

Absolute must win game.  Think we'll take confidence from the Chelsea game (even though we conceded 2 late goals). Villa to win 3-1, with Gyan scoring for them then breaking his ankle doing that stupid fucking chicken dance.

[Percy McCarthy]

7 or 8-0. Our defence, where we have had next to no injuries, is a shambles.

[Risso]

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...

Villa two, (Young, Dunne)
Sunderland one, (Henderson)
Up the league we go.

Four shipped by defence
Must score five to recompense
Warnock must not start

[Rip Van We Go Again]

We can't keep giving teams two goal advantages.

Haven't seen anything lately to suggest the defence is getting better, so it'll be a nervy night tonight.

[Mazrim]

Mackems sad. Why so?
Oh defeat! Hearts weigh heavy.
A1 looms, so long.

[Percy McCarthy]

Four shipped by defence
Must score five to recompense
Warnock must not start

Warnock starting makes no sense,
Drift gently into mental illness.

[Risso]

I think we've almost got enough for a Villa Haiku anthology there lads.

[Mazrim]

Clark has shirt. surely?
He should also be Fresh still.
Much rest recently.
