Aston Villa v Norwich City Pre-Match Thread

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I cannot imagine us losing, i am already bordering on self harming. Villa 2-0 Benteke Baker. Any update on Bakers injury ?

I think it is safe to say he won't be scoring any goals this Saturday judging by the look of the injury when it happened. Clark should be fit again by Saturday anyway shouldn't he?

Was a bad twist but physio`s can work wonders and these young athletes are very resillient. plus i think Baker is better than Clark with Vlaar ......

Got to win this,simple as that. 1-0 win and Holman scoring

[levico]

Can't see us scoring a goal. Probably the best we can hope for is 0-0.

[AvFc4eVeR]

Think this will be high scoring.

4-2 win.

Agree with this, and I think we will be 0-2 down at half time with most ready to pull the trigger, queue an almighty comeback not seen at VP since relegating Chaventry, and so the season will finally begin with a bang!

I agree and I would much rather Clark in midfield. But it seems PL prefers Clark over Baker for some reason, so if they are both fit then you would think Clark will get the nod.

Please please please win.

Important game. Beg, borrow, steal, anything for a villa win.

Villa 1- 0 them

Benteke, 90+3 off his arse from a cleared corner.

[VancouverLion]

3-0 and we're back on track!
Benteke 21, 75
Bent 38

Midfield of KEA, Bannan, Ireland, N'Zogbia/Albrighton
Bent & Benteke up top.
Job's right!

A home performance akin to the games against Swansea and West Brom should see us win this one.  Reckon it will be tight, but I'm going for a 2-1 win for us.

I mean we have to win THIS one right? Right......?

[damon loves JT]

Villa 1 Norwich 3. I am always right.

When Sky moved this game to the Sunday I made arrangements to go and visit a friend in London on the Saturday.  I bought my rail tickets and then the game was moved back to the Saturday.  So I'm missing it.  Which  means it will be the most entertaining game of the season and we will win 5-1.

Huge game for us. But just as big for them.
A very disappointing 1-1

[Le Lapin]

We have boxed ourselves into a corner for this one. We need a win, the team needs a win, the manager needs a win...... So 0-2 to Norwich then.....
Only joking....a nervy 2-1 win for us, they will score late..we'll get a few frights but ultimately hold out for a narrow win and plenty of underpants will be boil-washed the next day. We have to start this turn around sometime and I think this is it. Hopefully the lessons of the last few games will have been learned.

0-2. I just can't see us scoring. They will be on a high aft beating Arsenal, we will find it hard to compete.
