Aston Villa v Liverpool Pre-Match Thread

[Brend'Watkins]

1-0 Villa. Hutton to take out Downing in spectacular fashion.

I'd settle for a 1-0 Villa win with Hutton kicking both ball and Downing into the back of the net from 35 yards.

I wanted to post something similar but would have left out the bit about us scoring.

I'm not one to be vociferous towards former players but that weasel will get it in Spades on Sunday.

I think the inclusion of Weimann is a good option. He's an unknown quantity for us and they wont have a clue about him.  Villa to win as we will be well up for it.

Fuck it, I'm predicting a 2-0 Villa win. Bent and Gabby to score. Downing to be sent home with his tail between his legs.

Gabby is suspended. He was booked against Bolton, seemingly for having the ball kicked at him by Jaaskelainen and apparently you can't appeal against bookings.

Can't see us getting anything from this, the main enjoyment may come from making Downing cry.

1-2 them. They have won four and lost three away no draws. If we take our chances we might sneak it!

0-0 with Hutton getting a straight red for putting Downing in row J.
Hutton goes on to the fans player of the year award.

I think clinical finishing will be the difference between the two teams.

If that's the case can I change my mind about playing Heskey?

I have visions of the game against the pool two seasons ago at VP, just after Christmas. The game was complete sludge in midfield. Then Torres got one half chance in injury time, and scored.

I may have a Scanners episode. What with Downing and the bloke with the most slappable face in English football playing and the thought of us serving up some desperate tripe disguised as football (i.e. in our Man U/Spurs mode), I shall react messily to our loss.

3-0 Villa, N'Zogbia with a brace and Super Mark at the back post with Downing ball watching.

Isn't Gabby banned?

Ok, I will settle for a 1-0 win so.

The only balls I want to see him watching are his own as Hutton splatters them all over B6.

Seconded. Though in my living room, not the office.

I see 2 problems with the execution of this move.....
1. Firstly Hutton will have to locate said balls.
2. Hutton will need very small feet to connect with the balls once they have ben located.
