I feel there will be plenty of goals in this match. Reading aren't too aggressive which will help the midfield battle. I do feel we will win the match despite absence of Fab Delph. Reading will audaciously attack us whilst we can enjoy and open encounter where our counter attacks will lead to many goal scoring chances. I'm thinking a kinda Norwich, Man City League Cup scoreline. Le fondre will start the match rather than come off bench but Weimann and Benteke will be outscoring him today !
4-2 The Villa

Just planning where I shall be between 3 and 5PM - looks like a trip out to two nurseries to check on brassica plants and then the allotment to move a compost heap - that should do it!

I jus canna tek no more!!!!

Ive seen reading a few times this season . They dont look that good . They have got a few late goals thou while looking absolute shite for 85 minutes which does worry me but come on Villa , you are better than these .

[ez]

I look at Reading and think yes, easy win for us, then i remember we are not very good either.

[JUAN PABLO]

Merson says 3-0 Villa. I will have some of that drink Merse

[PaulWinch again]

Looking at us on Soccer Saturday, I wish our defence had a brain sometimes. Baker's lunging in is fucking horrendous.

Feck me, quite a few depressives on here...Get behind the team, think positive. Reading are a lot poorer team than us, villa win.

Fair enough comment but some people's eternal optimism and energetic trampling of negative views draws comparison with the type of Jews boarding the trains for Poland, still unwavering in their view that bugger all is going on! I am not saying Villa are down but fans are entitled to their view that it looks likely without snide comments. A few small clubs on meagre budgets struggle year after year to get promoted then cling onto their upper tier status. The management of our fine club seem to have constructed this shambles against the odds. Perhaps they deserve this fate while we suffer the most for it?
Villa win 2-1 

I had a wry smile to myself when reading this comment-I just thought wtf are you doing mate? The moral high ground on H&V is so overly populated I give it three comments before you get both barrels. Excluding your next comment you got it in two!
(Before I get it as well I totally agree, it was a ridiculous comment) just makes me laugh. If there wasn't evident passion in the rest of the comment and subsequent one I would think you were a troll of the highest order.
Bernard manning wouldn't last 5mins on here....

Bernard Manning couldn't use a keyboard with his chubby, racist fingers.

The fact that he's dead wouldn't help either.

[PaulWinch again]

I hope Merse is right, he thinks we'll win 3-0.
