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

[Oscar Arce]

He simply has to put as much experience on the pitch he has at his disposal for this run-in, but I fear he will stick with these kids because it gives him an excuse.
He's playing games with our club and it's a total disgrace.

I'd play (if fit):
Given

Hutton
Cuellar
Collins
Warnock

Albrighton
Ireland
Herd
N'Zogbia

Agbonlahor
Heskey

[Des Little]

I'd go with that, although take Hutton out and put no-one in.

[PaulTheVillan]

1-1

[PaulTheVillan]

Not sure exactly who is fit at the moment...

Given
Hutton Collins Clark Warnock
Albrighton Ireland Herd NZogbia
Heskey Wiemann

Ha ha ha.

It's best that we just don't field anyone if the other option is to pick Hutton.

O誰eill can motivate good players to play well and he can get shite ones to have some self belief, but they値l still be shite.

Just recall how chronic we were after beating Everton at Goodison up until we brought Tom Daley and BJC in the January.

Sunderland are pish. We are pish. Sunderland are on the beach and failed to score or even look like scoring against the worst side in the league.

There is nothing to fear here beyond set pieces.

Bring back Carlos, play N短ogbia from the start. Give Gabby one last chance and play him as a front three with Charlie and the Andy.

We値l win this. It won稚 even be nervy and it will be all over by half time.

Spurs will beat QPR and we値l be safe.

[Newquay_AVFC]

were going to thump em 4-0. Gabby x3 and Ireland.

The last few games, Sunderland have shown distinct signs of being dead on their feet, down to MON's "same XI please" approach.

A bag of ferteziler can take Huttons place.

Alternatively, replace him with any pisshead who staggers out of a Wetherspoons at 2.30, you'd never know the difference.

which particular recreational drugs are cheapest in Newquay, then ? is there a 3 for 1 price offer ?

[NQsDiscoPants]

1-1. As most of our players are on holiday already.

[Chipsticks]

We have something to play for, they do not. We'll win this well.

Same could be said for Stoke, and we did the normal thing of going in front then trying to protect a one goal lead.
