Aston Villa vs Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

[Des Little]

A clean sheet is way, way overdue. We will definitely score. Let's rip 'em a new one.

[Davey B]

I think it will be a 1 v 1 draw, or we will nick a win.

I hope it's a better game than the dross served up by both teams at the SOL earlier in the season. One of the poorest games i've ever witnessed.

HA'WAY THE LADS! 

You old rascal davey, a repeat of earlier in the season and a villa win will be fine- stuff the performance it's points that matter now

Aye Eastie, points make prizes marra, lol! The earlier game was a poor advert for footy though, real junior schoolyard stuff. It was awful to watch mate, awful. Early last week I got told i'd be alternating on to day shift for the coming week which meant i'd catch the game, but seeing the shift schedule i'm on nights again, ...... gutted!

Are you worried about 'old boy syndrome' striking if Bent comes on as a sub Davey?

I've just realised 'old boy syndrome' sounds like a euphemism for having trouble with your plonker.

PMSL Damo, I hope OBS never strikes me!     

Aye, i think Benty would be up for this game if he gets on, i don't think he'll need any motivation! Even if he plays though, i still fancy us strongly for at least a point.

Dross served up by both teams? Turn it in. You were lucky to get nil and we dominated for 80 minutes of the game.

It was utter garbage as a spectacle, one of the poorest games i've ever witnessed.

There is simply no way they will cope with Benteke.......2-0 Villa.

I am preparing for it with a weekend in a log cabin in the Peak District!

[jeowje]

I thought we quite good at sunderland?

I love the peak district. Its just a bloody shame about all the sheep, spoils good dog walking country.

I think both teams will go into this game with more confidence than the last time they played each other, so I am expecting a better game.

If the score stays as it is at the DW, the pressure will be really on. Can't see us rising to the occasion. We didn't do it against an indifferent Fulham, can't see anything against a resurgent Sunderland.

[PaulWinch again]

Thank fuck for that Spurs equaliser. This game really is must win, we need to open a gap on Wigan.

Sorry to disappoint you.

[Tucson Villain]

I really fancy us to win this. 3-1.

"If." Don't worry about the "ifs".
