Everton vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Risso]

Bit of a wait until this one, but still, here you go.

[darren woolley]

1-1 Bent.

[Matt Collins]

Tight game. I reckon the same side will play, barring any new signings.

Would like to see Bannan coming on earlier, probably for Heskey, as the game opens up.

[Jimbo]

I think we can actually draw this one. 1-1, Gabby.

[Risso]

Think this will be our first defeat, 1-0 to Everton.

[PaulWinch again]

Provided we sign Iniesta within the next couple of days, we'll be fine and win.

Good time to play Everton but it's very hard to get enthused about anything AVFC related this season. Prob a 0-0.

Would like to see Ireland play instead of Heskey but doubt that's going to happen

For what it's worth my side

Given
Herd, Collins, Dunne, Warnock
Ireland, Petrov, Delph
NZogbia, Bent, Gabby

[Chris Smith]

Too far away to judge I reckon. With transfers in and out a possibility at both clubs and the potential for injuries during international duty it's impossible to know how either will line up although they've had their customary shit start.

Everton 0 Villa 3 (Bent 23, Hutton 63, Messi 86)

[Witton Warrior]

Firstly many thanks for the International break while I go on holiday ;-)

Secondly this will be our first away win of the season 2-0 (Bent, Bannan)

[TaxDodger]

I'd take a point..

[Stu]

Away win, 1-2 or 0-1, with us nicking it late on.

I'm feeling optimistic.

[Chris Jameson]

0-0

2,737 people left in the stadium at the final whistle of which 165 are still awake.

[TheSandman]

I'm thinking a 0-0 draw.

I reserve the right to change my guess if we make a couple of exciting signings.

[CJ]

1-1. Cahill for them from a corner, Bent levels for us late on.

Heskey replaced by Bannan after Fellaini blatantly elbows Emule but the ref chooses to ignore it as he spends so much time falling over anyway. Bannan avoids Fellaini's continually flailing limbs as he's below the arc of the constant attempted decapitations, and sets up Bent for the equaliser
