You expect us to get 10!?

The Villa 2 - them 5....sadly

An away banker, it might only be 0-1 but City will win.

These days Man U, Man C, Liverpool, Arsenal and now Chelsea and even Spurs never have an off day at Villa Park, but sometimes do at places like Southampton and Norwich

Those seem to be acceptable these days.  Really hope that we can get some fire in our belly but am dreading that we will have to keep looking at their rabble encroaching onto the pitch with no arrest ever being made.

Play like we did against Newcastle and we'll get a sound thrashing. We need to get back to the performances we delivered against Arsenal and Chelsea, but without Okore and Benteke I fear the worst. How depressing is it that I'll be strolling across Aston Park hoping we don't lose by too many. Gabby's perfect hat-trick against these seems light years away. Five years is proving to be an awful long time in football.

Draw.

Sorry, that's as negative as I get!

[ADVILLAFAN]

8-0 Villa, easy.

[Chipsticks]

They've been poor away from home with 1 point out of Cardiff and Stoke and we've proved that we play better against the bigger teams; I can see us doing well. Not to mention they've got to play Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

2-1 Villa.

[supertom]

Can't see us scoring to be honest. I think this one will be a stroll in the (villa) park for City. They've got four top quality strikers to pick from, no matter who they want to rest, who would have field day against our backline.

Expects Milner to put one past us too.

I think we might sneak it, but I will go for a draw. We used to have those quite a lot once upon a time.

8-0 Villa, easy.

I misread that as 8-0 to Villa, sorry, and then realised you meant it the other way round....cough

[rob_bridge]

Villa 0.3 Cit-eh

Sorry see nothing other than this. Kompany back and their new signings bedding in.
