Manchester City v Aston Villa Match Thread

[JJ-AV]

Suppose the enthusiasm of the youth may get us through till the hour still in it and then we've real quality options to change it.

Herd a RB is one of the big suprises for me.     I just thought Walker would be RB , it was the LB position I wasnt sure about..   anyway , good luck to them.      do us proud.

Neither team will want a replay says Southgate. I'd bite your arm off for a replay.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

What the fuck is that team selection all about. Not happy at all.

And now our season is over. Cool.

No it isn't. In two hours, it might be. In two hours, it might have been with a  completely different side anyway.

[Percy McCarthy]

This is our biggest game of the season and we seem to be running out behind a white flag. Hope I'm wrong but this seems deranged.

Joke. I agreed with Moscow. We were third or fourth in the league, and it was the last 32 of the UEFA Cup. Now we are mid-table, with this game and a favourable draw between us and Wembley. White flag is right.

If we can hang on in there for an hour,and maybe bring on some older heads for the last half an hour. Be interesting to see Bradley up against Barry. Come on Villa.

It's the best bench we have in years.Why is anybody worrying? Nurse!

[Martyn Smith]

Ewww God cushion-face is presenting...and I was looking forward to enjoying my tea 'n all...

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I really cannot understand that team selection. There's no way we're going down with the teams that we have left to play so why not go out to win this, it's what our season is all about now.

It seems insane.

If it was a friendly International I wouldnt be . 

[JUAN PABLO]

and I thought ££city were pretty poor against Fulham and Notts county . We had a chance .

[jonzy85]

That is a f***in disgrace of a line-up.

I'm sorry, dont mean to be beating down on our youngsters but wtf is he doing playing them in our last chance to salvage something from the season.

The thought he is saving the likes of Young and Downing for Saturday is a joke! I'm not saying we are 100% safe but we should be well able to put out a full strength team and still get a result on Saturday.

I really hope we get a result, but it will take a Herculean effort.

[Martyn Smith]

Fuck he looks old these days...older than his 44 anyway...
