Stripey Filth v Aston Villa - Pre-Match Thread

[The Moose]

I'd play Gabby up with Bent, with Bannan on the bench to replace Petrov after an hour. With us 3-0 up and coasting....

The Royal Oak is open for away fans.

Bright sunny morning in West Mids, slight breeze, bit parky mind, its reading just 11c in the back yard

Lawro strikes again!

" As for Villa, they were never going to be in serious trouble. It's not that the team were too good to go down, but they had enough individual match-winners such as Ashley Young and Stewart Downing to keep them up."

Er... So what you're saying is we are too good to go down.  Pleb.

Of course it's a draw. 1-1

[Olneythelonely]

Anyone know of anywhere in South Manchester likely to show the game? It's not for me, it's for a mate who likes to get into animal shaped bins.

2-1 Agbonlahor & Bent

I met Peter Odemwingie the other day. He seemed to be a thoroughly nice chap. He said that he would be playing today. I think he was wondering why a Villa fan would want to talk to him.

He did his business and i did mine.

He then came back to shake hands and say bye. I wished him luck but he didnt realise i had my fingers crossed behind my back. 

He climbed into his four tail pipe AMG Mercedes and burbled off down the road. Nice guy, but no win bonus for him this weekend !

If you didn't tap him up cdvillafan will be very disappointed.

He is not a big guy. I was suprised how small he seemed to be. Probably needs a good meal in him. Ive seen more meat on a sparrows ankle.

[JJ-AV]

Decent player, certainly. But he offers nothing we don't already have.

I think we'll win today, and win well - and it'll see us up to 9th.

Greetings from NYC! It's 7.55 and I'm off out on my last day here. So 5 points please and my flight back to Brum will be that much more bearable

[Bad English]

Oops, I mean three points (Everything here is so much bigger and all... except my todger which has the Yanks in awe when I go for a slash and stuff).

[Villa'Zawg]

Is slash and stuff similar to surf and turf?
