Manchester City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[JJ-AV]

1-2 Villa

Gabby x2

[phantom limb]

Can't see anything other than a Man City win to further compound my misery. 3-0 to them.

[nicardinho]

The referee for the game is Mark Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear)

After failing to send off Rooney yesterday, we should hope for a much better showing this time around. The last Villa game he refereed was our convincing defeat to Arsenal at Villa Park, while Man City have won, lost and drawn in his 3 games in charge of them.

He will be assisted by Ceri Richards (yellow flag) and Simon Long (chequered). Jon Moss is 4th official.

2-0 to them

Have a feeling though we might just get a pleasant surprise...you never know!

[The Left Side]

2 - 1 to them, Dzeko with a brace and Young with the consolation.

[Shrek]

I feel really confident for some reason, I'd start Delph in place of Pires and give Bannan a go instead of Albrighton.

1-1, Gabby for us.

[Lobsterboy]

Would love us to stick it up them but with no Bent or Makoun our chances are reduced somewhat and I forecast a 2-0/3-0 defeat

Tevez and Dzeko to score while Barry and Milner sit on their fat arses and watch from the bench

[Phil from the upper holte]

1-1

Do them at VP

[Toronto Villa]

I think we can win, but I suspect it will be a hard fought draw. I'll take 0-0, as I'm convinced we'll do them at home.

[Pete3206]

Us by the odd goal.

[Ian.]

I am not confident about this one. Never confident at any of the grounds in Manchester, our results up there are normally terrible.
2-0 to them.

[damon loves JT]

I think the game will be close, but the score won't be. 3-1 to them.
