Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

[ez]

We'll match them for the first 30 minutes or so then it will be backs to the wall. 0-3

[l_mckay]

3-0 to them and Hutton sent off

[Des Little]

Not looking forward to this.  I fear a spanking even Max Mosely would be ashamed of.

For some reason I think we'll get a draw.  No Balotelli for them so thats a couple of certain goals gone.

1-1,  Bent 40,  Aguero 88.

I'm suprised Stuart Taylor is still there!

1-3.

Mind you I thought we'd lose last season's game aswell!

[Lobsterboy]

I fully expect us to lose this one but hope we give them a decent game... or even better sneak a result!

I'll go for 1-3; Bent for us and Aguero, Dzeko and Adam Johnson for them

Ever the optimist - 1-0 to us. Gabby.

Nil nil

Well we will concede at least 2, so probably 3 against them, but we will score at least 1, so 3-1 to them

[CJ]

A sound beating with them not even having to get into third gear. Don't really care about it tbh - get this one out the way, move on, and concentrate on getting sufficient points off Wigan, Blackburn, Fulham and Bolton to make us safe before the run of difficult games.  Knowing us though we'll beat Citeh and lose to Wigan.

[Greg N'Ash]

Part of me thinks we could give them a game if we play like we have at all too brief times this season.. Unfortunately, thats the part that suffers from periods of insanity. Reckon we'll get tanked 1-3. Aim low and you won't be disappointed but maybe get a pleasant surprise.
