Aston Villa v MartinO'Neill'sSunderland Pre-Match Thread

[Tom wintle]

Sunderland have been on a really bad run of late However we are awful. 0-3 to them with MON jumping round and doing forward rolls along the touchline
McLeish stating in his post match comments,how Sunderland have completely different agenda to us

That's exactly what I wAs thinking 

[drisaac]

1-1

Weimann (23)
Bendtner (84)

Gardner sent off for over the top challenge on Gardner.

Sadly, I think the script is already written for this.
We have that stench of a relegation threatened team all around us.
The bastard returns, and his fired up, motivated  and hungry team will be far too much for us.


0-3 Sunderland.

O'Neill tactically out thought McLeish in every game while he was here, anybody that gets tactically out thought without learning their lesson by 1980's counter-attack the wings MON should'nt be managing a top flight club, 1-3 Sunderland with a vile atmosphere.

[richard moore]

0-0 for me

[CJ]

Their form hasn't been great recently and I think we'll get a result from this.  MON will rely on counter-attacking down the wings as usual but, as AMC thinks the touch-line is only for throw-ins, we may exploit some space down the middle. Gardner (C) will of course open the scoring for them, the atmosphere will then get a bit poisonous followed by a huge rally behind the team to push us on to a 2-1 win with goals from Weimann and Heskey

[JUAN PABLO]

I wonder if a Sunderland 5-1 win would get AMc out. 

As long as I dont hear any commentator say at the end of the game ' be careful what you wish for Villa fans'

0-0/0-1       that close

[Risso]

I can just picture O'Neill's shit-eating grin if they beat us.  Please don't let it happen.

[mrfuse]

McLeish is making me sick to the point where I cant watch us anymore.

I gave up at halftime yesterday and even though I'm a season ticket holder I don't think I can bare to watch this or any other game.

He can dish out every excuse under the sun but he cant even set us up correctly before we approach a match.hes lucky he hasn't got a full team because it would only be more embarrassing.

A perfect game for Sunderland to get back on track easy win for them without trying that hard
