Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

[TheSandman]

3-3

Bent and Dzeko each will get a hat trick.

[Michel Sibble]

Hard to say how it will go:

Citeh score for fun but lack mental strength and discipline.
Villa have plenty of fighting spirit but not a lot of luck.

I'm going for a 2-2 draw (Downing, Collins)

[The Left Side]

Villa 8 - 1 Citeh Bent 7, Brad with a pen, and a Dunne OG for them.

Don't forget that Milner and Barry will be sent off and Ireland will be nicked for speeding before the game so he will be absent!

[WikiVilla]

Lets hope its not a damp squib like SVC's debut

[WikiVilla]

Villa have just released 1000 tickets at £15 each to mark DB's debut

[Rigadon]

In their FA Cup replay with the might Leicester, Man City are resting their first midfield tonight (Barry, De Jong etc) and are playing their reserve utility sub Milner in there.  He must be so thrilled.

I can see the feel good factor retuning but cant see us keeping a clean sheet.

I'll go for a draw.

[monkeyboy]

46-1 win

Bent 46 - Bent 1og for them (because Jimmy M is in tears)

[The Man With A Stick]

3-1 Villa.  Bent (2), Albrighton.  Yaya Toure for them.

Yet more splinters in the arse for Milner.

[taylorsworkrate]

2 - 1

Benty with a last minute piledriver whilst fat Barry stands motionless with pie crumbs all over his mouth.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

2-1 Villa wanted to say this for years Bent brace Yipppppee .........

[*shellac*]

Us 1 - €380,000,000 Them

Our European Cup trophy will be the goalscorer with assist from Bent.  And all 11 players have a part in the built-up.

"You will still win fuck all with your expensive squad!", the scorer taunts after the game.

[JD]

3-2 to us Gabby, Adam (hopefully) & Bent to score

[TonyD]

4.2 to the famous Aston Villa!

Bent at the double, with Gabby and the Tamath Terror on the scoresheet.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I'm not really sure why the Makoun work permit should take long. He's been resident in France for years and has a lot of recent caps for Cameroon.

If his caps look anything like his jumpers then we're in for a treat.

Citeh are leaking goals.

Villa to be losing 1-3 with five minutes to go. Final score 4-3.

Slap me! I'm hysterical!

[Simba]

It's fascinating to watch the hysteria that's come over this site, based on the supposed advantage that one dubious signing is going to make.

Entitled to your opinion.

But what has the picture of Robbie Savage with a hangover got to do with it?
