Manchester City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[ACVilla]

Mate, your user name makes me feel a bit sick. Any chance of changing it?

I think bannan has a knee knock and is a slight doubt, at least according to fantasy premier league. Would be a shame. He's playing well and city look vulnerable at set pieces. Not sure who'd take them if he is out

Bannan quietly withdrew from the Scotland squad midweek with a "knee injury". Im reliably informed that he will be fine for this game.

Apparantly he was penalty duties last week so assuming there is no Bent again he will be this week.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Think we'll hold our own for some of this game, so just a 3-0 loss I reckon.

Be too strong for us with the likes of Aguero, Silva & Toure likely to start this time...2-0 defeat

[danlanza]

Optimistic, i know, but i am gong for a Villa win. I don't care what the score is as long as we win.

With us being 15/1 on Betfair

Fucking hell, it's like betting on SPL matches vs Celtic.

I predicted us to lose but I'll have a bit of that!

According to Sky News Citeh play Wigan at home tomorrow!!
So who TF are we playing ?

[ADVILLAFAN]

I've come to the conclusion that 21.4% of you are mad - hope you're right though.

[MoetVillan]

Im not mad.  But this jacket that has me trussed up like a chicken makes it difficult to type on this padded keyboard.

Come on blind faith.  Benteke and Gabby to score each, a late Dzeko goal means we gnaw our fingernails down to the wrists, but hold on to a win, and enjoy a post match rant from Mankini

[Simon Ward]

2-0 Milner and Barry. Own goals of course!

[Barca 2011]

Far to much fire power for our defence. 3-0 loss sorry to say.

[danlanza]

Didn't we say " To much firepower for our defence " in the cup game ?
We can do this lot and i think we will.

[pedro25]

The cup "loss" was a draw over 90 mins, which is all we'll have tomorrow and they played their reserves plus two blokes in midfield that I had never heard of.  I'd be amazed and delighted if we could get a draw.
