Please not the Bowery gallows humour again.

[black pearl of inchicore]

I watched a team last saturday who looked liked they had just met each other the week before for the first time and then had a 48 hour train ride to get to Villa Park and arrived 5 mins before kick off....
Every team has Villa sussed out by now....we can only counter attack, the problem is getting the ball to counter attack.

Luna will think he's in the North Pole when he lands on Wearside on Wednesday....Sunderland win 

[atomicjam]

Villa win, 2-1.

[silhillvilla]

Guzan - gloves
Lowton - no gloves
Baker - no gloves
Vlaar - no gloves
Luna - gloves + snood
Tonev - gloves
Delph - no gloves
Westwood - no idea
Weimann - gloves
Gabby - no gloves
Benteke - gloves

Benteke fit. He will score and we will win.

[PeterWithesShin]

Gabby often wears gloves doesn't he? Bowery is so hard he'd play in only his shreddies.

[adrenachrome]

I'd forgotten about the snood phenomenon: did they get banned or just go out of fashion?

I think PL should enforce a short sleeve/wooly mitten/tights combo for this one and we may score a couple of early goals while they are ROFL.

[Chipsticks]

We'll win by one goal, and concede a load as well; Benteke to score from the bench.

Feels nice to be playing away from home.

[darren woolley]

A narrow 1-0 win for us Gabby scoring.

[Mortimer's Bear]

1-3

Agbonlahor, Kozak (2)

[KRS]

By the law of averages and the power vested in the football Gods and Lord McGrath...and failing that...by the Power of Grayskull...we are due a win...and so it shall be!

[eamonn]

Luna freezing his test icicles off with our friends in the north could mean an afternoon of easy pickings for Dozy Altidore. I'm not expecting a jovial afternoon at all tbh. 2-0.

Yes, snoods got banned.

Nik Kershaw must have been gutted.
