Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

VP looking no more than half full. Must be lot of people still outside.

[PaulWinch again]

Would anyone take a 0-1 loss now? I think I'd be tempted

not this close to kick off. I tend to predict us losing games like this about 4-0 a few days in advance and then suddenly think we can win it just before the start. That feeling usually lasts about 5 minutes...particularly this season

Yep me too.

Right here we go, off out in the garden with my headphones on....was a good omen in that late run last season

[Slaphead]

What radio station is this on?

[Ger Regan]

I'm not particularly confident of getting a result today, but fuck me, some on here take pessimism to new heights (lows?).

[PaulWinch again]

Looks more like wing backs than 5-3-2.

What radio station is this on?

Not on R5, they have my favourite (!) Bitters fan, Pat Murphy, reporting from the ground which is always a good omen...cough

Hope so, we need to pack midfield against this lot I think

Yeah I'd rather not listen to that rabble! Thanks.

[VillaAlways]

Milner desperate to score against us I see

[Tuscans]

Milner nearly puts one away

Some of us are naturally like that.

If there was an Olympics for pessimism.............I wouldn't fancy my chances.

I'd get gold.

[richard moore]

Murphy, the twat, with his usual positivity about us already on R5. He just loves seeing us on a downer and can barely conceal his glee

[supertom]

Jesus that's a piss poor line up. It's a bit frightening the gulf in class. But hopefully we'll stick it up those twonks today. Cannot stand City.

I would take a 1-0 loss right now though.
