Aston Villa v Liverpool Pre-Match Thread

[Pete3206]

Huff, puff, hoof, defeat.

0-2

[Irish villain]

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

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

I just laughed out loud in the office!

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

Downing will probably wet himself when he realises how much vitriol the Holte End now has for him.

p.s   

Heskey not to start

Bannon , Weimann  whoever  but not the tumbler

[KRS]

Liverpool are certainly beatable...so a draw would be a respectable result.

[TaxDodger]

0-0.

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.

3. You're assuming that Downing actually has balls.

The Downing return will add some spice for sure.  I think we'll get a draw at least.

I fancied a draw from this but without Gabby we'll revert to hoof at Heskey to flick on to Reina. The repulsive Suarez will be too much for the chuckle brothers so I think they'll win 2-1.

I'm buying some throat lozenges on the way so that I can give Downing 90 minutes of unrelenting dog's abuse without losing my voice. Hopefully Stan will break the weasel's foot again.

Wouldn't be surprised if he developed a mystery illness,coward that he is.

[Villanation]

In spite of the Bolton win i still can't see a Villa win anywhere, this is best of the bunch of what's to come, however Liverpool 2-0.

Can't even see a goal coming anywhere from us, if Gabby is out then we lose any real pace up front which edges out Bent even slightly further if that was possible, can't see anything from this, best we can hope for is that we make a decent fist of it and not cave in.

  Is Suarez banned?

[He wears a magic hat]

After many abject displays Sunday will be the day that Alan Hutton endears himself to the Holte End as he launches Stewart Downing into the Upper Witton lane

1-0
Late Bent Winner

It certainly won't be a spinal injury, as he hasn't got one.

[Rigadon]

I wonder if Downing actually knows the level of animosity he's going to face?  The players are so hidden away from the real world these days it's plausible he'll think he might get a mixed reception at worst.
