Need some fight in the belly for this one!

There sure aint none in the wetters on here.

Hoping for a draw but probably lose because that's what we do against the big spenders at Villa Park but can't see it being the hammering many on here are predicting. They lost at Cardiff and was goalless at Stoke so I expect us to give them a hard game.

Also (like a lot of other teams) they tend to perform well against the top teams and less well against those lower down the league.

I still think they'll win, but I wouldn't be totally shocked to see us snatch a draw or narrow victory.

My Villa heart says draw. My head says that given what I watched Sandro so we should really worry about what Yaya Toure might do in influencing the game.

A tonking and more excuses involving ''kids, project, injuries, keep the faith''

[LeeB]

Stop being such a fanny.

[aj2k77]

[Legion]

They can g themselves up to beat yanited, but won't be able to against tiny villa. 2-1 us. Puts bong down.

[Deano's Mullet]

Cant see anything other than big defeat. Even if we score once or twice because Kojak and Helenius show us their potential I don't trust this defence at all.

[Richard E]

Apart from their Champions League game they have not been fantastic away from home, they have not turned us over by vast scorelines in the last 3 seasons at VP and they have a big game on Tuesday. Not saying we'll win but a draw would not be a total suprise and I don't think it will be an absolute spanking.

Can we borrow Craig Bellamy for this one? Just the sort of niggly fucker with a grudge that we need for this game.

[silhillvilla]

Cannot think of a worse time to be playing them. 0-5 minimum.
