Aston Villa v Everton Pre-Match Thread

[Bad English]

Can't predict. I am too busy plotting how to 1) find a bar in Paphos with the game on (is it on?). 2) convince she-who-has-not-had-leave-since-Spring to nip in for a quick sharpener before we look at the mosaics.

The mosaics really aren't all that.  Can you not get her 90 mins in a spa?

I shall quote you on that (The mosaics can be viewed on the internet, can't they?

A  hammam it shall be...

1-1 can't see us keeping a clean sheet

[Malandro]

6-2

I have the season review video for that year somewhere

A little nostalgia to make us weep. We weren't able to keep a clean sheet in that game either. God OG as a bonus.

[Damo70]

We will win 2-1.

[Richard E]

Probably a 1-1 or a 2-2 draw but I really have no idea what will happen with us in any given match at the moment.

A win would not surprise me, a draw would not surprise me, a defeat would not surprise me. So the only thing I can predict with any accuracy is that I am not going to be surprised on Saturday.

[Bad English]

Fuck it! I am going for an eximious 3-1 stomping.

[Richard E]

Fuck it! I am going for an eximious 3-1 stomping.

I have absolutely no idea what "eximious" means but it sounds fantastic! Yeah! Bring it on! 

[Axl Rose]

1-3 Everton. For me, Everton will make the top 4 this year as a surprise package. We need to score first if we stand a chance of winning.

Everton will be tougher than Spurs.
2-0 defeat I'm afraid.

[l_mckay]

Everton haven't been playing really good lately so I'm hoping for a draw. 1-1

[eastie]

This is a game we reallly need to win - although we haven't started badly it is tight and we are only 3 points off the bottom 3 - a win would see us placed in the top 10 with more favourable fixtures ahead.

Could go either way but Martinez is a smart cookie - lambert needs to change things or we will get beat .

I can remember standing in my kitchen in Torquay where I lived at the time listening to this game on what must have been R2 I think back then as if it was yesterday

Stood on the bottom left hand corner of The Holte for this game (Rastas' corner).  Nothing makes you feel older than looking back on past Villa games as if they were yesteday, only to find that they were actually 24 years ago almost to the day.

I can't predict this result but I do predict that we won't still be talking about it in 24 years time

2-1 Villa
