Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

[Lobsterboy]

If Citeh bring their B game, never mind their A game we'll get battered!

Will be in the pub watching with a load of Man Citeh fans all telling me how shit we are as they take us to the cleaners... I can hardly wait!

1-3 Benteke for us, Milner, Barry and Tevez for them

"But there are games which I've been really frustrated and we should have had more points than what we've got. If we had done that, we wouldn't be in this position.

you have only got yourself to blame for this

It was his fault that Swansea scored in the 94th minute? His fault that Felani lost his man? That Odenwinge did the same thing? That Andi didn't follow his man?

Players get managers the sack.

That's the job every manager signs up for though. What about far more often than not making the wrong substitution when we're either chasing a game or holding a lead? Or the persistent inability to get our defence sorted. Or not buying a decent centre half in jan?
First man in the firing line for blame this season has to be Lambert unfortunately. It's part of being a manager firstly, but more so he's been very poor, way over his head. For the most part it hasn't been for the want of trying with our players, particularly the young ones. It's only really been Ireland, and Bent at times who should have been working harder.
He's signed over half a potential new side, and most haven't been good enough for this league unfortunately.

As for tomorrow. I can only see a pasting from City. Their far superior. They're a bogey side, and given we've beaten them once already this season, I can't see us doing it again.

0-4

Tomorrow?

Would like to see Lichaj being given a go right back. Lowton has been really poor for a while now and needs to be taken out of the firing line. Also Kea for Gabby to try and get another body in midfield. 3-1 to them though. I can see them getting back into the title race and we won't be able to put up much opposition

[danlanza]

We will win. Fuck'em all. UTV

I like you Dan. We seem to share the same attitude in all the pre-match threads

We have to keep believing Chipsticks or else there is no point to anything. UTV.

Yep. Forgot it was monday. An extra two days of a bubbling gut, waiting for the painful inevitable.

[JUAN PABLO]

going for a shock 1-0 win .

Im band rehearsing , so wont see it live but will have it on about 12.30 in the morning with out knowing the score.

Suprise me Villa . Suprise me

[Des Little]

Standard 2-0 win for City. We go again

[LeeB]

This is the one we win, and then in a month we look back and laugh and wonder what the fuss was all about after our fifth straight win.

[Karlos96]

4-0 Man City

[PaulWinch again]

Assuming Wigan don't turn this round, this is a real 'free shot' at Citeh. We really need to have a go, because a win considering we have Reading and then QPR would be a huge boost.

[saunders_heroes]

A draw would be a bloody good result and would lead us nicely into the two biggest league games in years against Reading and QPR.

[PeterWithesShin]

When I was in the ticket office in town the chap in front of me was booking 2 tickets to his first match, had no idea what any of the stands were called etc. Am I just being a cynical bastard for wondering why he's waited for Man City at home to break his cherry?

[PaulWinch again]

This game could define our season, if we get something it could propel us while the sides around us wilt.

A Money City fan, I presume.
