Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

[Fernando Partridge]

Villa lets have Gardner to start. 
I think he may not play N'zog.
Milner and Barry as their potential middle two is interesting.

Villa could win if Hart is sent off.
Hopefully a penalty and red card. There will probably be a few controversial decisons today plus a comedy own goal by Barry. Can see at least one sending off and a penalty. Villa to get the draw.

I personally don't think there is any real chance of us getting relegated. In all likelihood another seven or right points would be enough. I think we'll get at least that from the next give games and probably finish on the same points tally a last season with maybe a few more on top.

As for today, if we were visiting a side who hadn't win at home since November, then I could guarantee it would be a home win.

I think we'll get a point.

Is that a guess... or is it being reported elsewhere?

Apparently there will be a 1 minute silence before KO in memory of Whitney Houston. Thank fuck for that, I was worried they'd play one of her records.

It's not a bad line up of Fernando's but i can't see him dropping Ireland against his old club or Clark. I do like the idea of throwing in the likes of Bannan and Gardner though, a little more energy and spirit in the middle might do us good.

Why would I not be surprised? They have a minutes silence for every fecker and his dog these days. I find myself continually wondering who has died as teams always seem to be wearing black arm bands.

[Small Rodent]

Villa definite win, as I'm on a coach from Szczecin to Berlin with hyper-expensive 3G phone connection even for updates.

[Jimmy Smash]

Heskey's a given to come on at some point I suppose.

[Irish villain]

Is it on SKY?

Is it on SKY?

Yes, but I have had a coupon code sent to me from the club to watch it free on AVTV

Don't think gabby's fit. Also would play Ireland. I was tempted to say petrov and Gardner should partner each other, but then I remembered that's how we started v wolves and got completely overran!

[PaulWinch again]

I'd really like Gardner to start today, I think we need to go for it but I don't think he will.

Well bad news guys

Heskey is starting today on the right wing.!!!!

His misses has just revealed it on twitter.
