Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Pre-Match Thread

[Dave Cooper please]

3-0 Bowery hat trick.

[Legion]

Left foot, right foot and head. All within three minutes.

[TonyD]

6.0 thumper. Has to be.

Watching Bowery tomorrow would make this Christmas perfect in every sense. Got to enjoy it though while he's here.

In the summer he'll be embroiled in a Gareth Bale style transfer saga for sure.

Well we can't ask for a kinder fixture to start the recovery. 2-0

Problem is there is a 50% sell on fee share clause with his South American agent. I understand there is a party from Madrid flown in tonight to watch him.

Measured response and convincing evidence to support your argument there.

The deal is already done in principle. It will all boil down to Bowery's personal demands and whether Real can match them.

I've been telling fans of other clubs to watch out for Bowery for ages. The guy oozes class on and off the pitch. Stick him in behind Kozak tomorrow in a Rooney type role and watch him weave his magic I say. We've put it off for far too long.

Couldn't agree more. Who do you think is more valuable  at this moment in time Bowery or Suarez?

Suarez doesn't even have as much footballing talent as Bowery does in his cock.

The two Dave's will be agitated that you only think we will play in claret and blue. You should be more sure than that!

[pooligan]

Well Olaftab, correct me if i am wrong,but i am pretty sure we played in all white against West Ham at home a few seasons ago because  the  referee felt West Ham's away kit was to much of a colour clash and they wore our home kit. Going back a lot further i remember us playing in our new yellow and blue kit against the Italy U21 at Villa Park and being booed by the Holte End who thought we were the Italians .Am Sure Mr Woodhall soon correct me if i am wrong

From what I have seen Bowery isn't good enough for this level but I would never slag him off because he is wholehearted and gives everything.

Madness!!! He just isn't being used to anything like correctly. Watching a 25 goal a year striker sat on the bench is becoming incredibly frustrating.
