Dunne (og) 33

Cuckoo!

[Chipsticks]

0-0 in what is the worst game of football since time began.

Either this or a 5-0 drubbing, but I'm feeling confident.

I`m going to watch the game in the pub with my eyes tightly shut and fingers in my ears

I fear the worst for this game - don

Make sure you ask for a couple of straws then!

I'm optimistic - I think we'll turn up this time.
Still lose though.

I think we'll play better in this but come away with a 3-1 defeat with there 2nd and 3rd coming in the last 15.

[VillaAlways]

Strong chance there will be no Aguero or Balletolli for them
3-1 to them Bent for us Dzekox2 and Silva for them

[CJ]

I fear a drubbing. Our midfield will be overrun and Hutton's shortcomings will be exposed. We'll resort to hoofball, which will result in the ball coming straight back at us at the feet of players who can actually pass to each other and score. Bent totally isolated. Gabby will get one. AMC has tightened the defence so only 4-1,

[taylorsworkrate]

3-0 loss,

They are vastly superior in every area of the pitch, except for Given, who will prevent a cricket score.

[Gazza1982]

AM will know whats required, this kind of game is exactly  the sort that is his bread and butter....i.e. how to grind out a bore draw 0-0

[PeterWithesShin]

Them 1 - 2 Us

[VillaAlways]

Them 1 - 2 Us

Stop attention seeking

[berneboy]

At the time of writing I am the only one to predict a Villa win.
I am incapable of ever predicting any other result even though I am a mature, reasonably intelligent man.

Why?

[Clampy]

Strong chance there will be no Aguero or Balletolli for them
3-1 to them Bent for us Dzekox2 and Silva for them

I hope Ballotelli is out, we've struggled against him whenever he's played against us.

[Pete3206]

Torn a new one. 0-4

[Lobsterboy]

We lost 4-0 there twice last season and both performances were truly awful. They have also considerably strengthened since then, qualified for the Champions League and won their first trophy in thirty five years... we'll dick them!

Err perhaps not I can see this being 2-0 or 3-0 to Citeh...
