A walk in the park. 3-1 Aston Villa.

"Oatcake Brigade" ? What's that all about ?

Why can't we stick to the proper team names in the Pre/Match/Post threads ?

[Des Little]

Agree.  Let's call them by their proper name...Inbred Six Fingered Freaks.

Villa 1 ISFF 0. Another Benteke pen

[Goldie.7]

Us 4

Them 2

[Clampy]

No Stephen Ireland for them apparently due to some clause as part of the deal when we sold him.

1-1. Walters for them. Benteke for us.

Got to be looking for a win. Just the main thing though will be to avoid losing. It'd be great for us to go 3 home games unbeaten. Even better to win 3 on the spin.

I think we'll win.
2-1, Benteke Gabby.

Stoke missing a few players for this one and have won once away all season.

2:0 Villa Benteke, Albrighton

With great power comes great responsibility.

Walters suspended mate.

They're a bit similar to us, regularly turn over the top teams but lack the consistancy against the struggles to really push on in the table. Probably our biggest challengers for 10th now.

Wouldn't shock me if it's 1-1 tbh. Typical comedown result after a great win and they are much better defensively than Norwich.

[Deano's Mullet]

The question to be asked of this team and manager - and I doubted it before the Chelsea match - is whether they can put a consistent run of performances and results together. We shall see so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and go for a 2-1 Villa win but nothing would surprise me at all if we went back to the garbage of before.

[Chipsticks]

Okay Dan, looks like we've finally sorted out how to get Villa winning, we need to keep alternating between us who makes the thread every week

It'd be amazing to win 3 home games on the bounce. 2-1 Villa, Benteke and Albrighton.

[Herman]

Villa 3 Clayheads 1

[PaulTheVillan]

I think we'll just about scrape it 2-1

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

6-0. Delph to score all six.

6-0. Delph to score all six.

And still get ignored by Woy...
