Manchester City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[WarszaVillan]

How could you not enjoy Villa beating Man City and denying them the title.

[PaulWinch again]

Well exactly.

[Jarpie]

Because we hate Liverpool so much more than Man City?

[PaulWinch again]

I don't care for either of them, but I always want Villa to win.

[johnboy]

Back to our usual 4-1 defeat of recent weeks, however, I hope that I'm wrong.
Think we will beat spuds though.

[Des Little]

I would dearly love to go up there and piss on their party. Let's ruffle a few feathers...

[curiousorange]

I have a feeling this thread is going to turn into another discussion about who we'd all prefer to win the title.

[peter w]

Villa.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

The game will be over after 30 minutes. It's then just a case of how many Man City decide they want to score. I'm guessing they'll take it relatively easy on us before a late flourish that will be embarrassing as they rip our defence to shreds.

6-0

Any word on if Gabby will be fit?

It would be nice to go up there & get a result.

But even before the money we've usually been rubbish up there.

Usually been rubbish is a slight understatement, as I quoted on another thread our league record at the Etihad reads:

P 10 W 1D 0 L 9 F 6 A 28

And that's been getting worse for the past 4 seasons. Any defeat by less than 4 goals will be a result.

So 1-1 and a goal for Bowery.

[Havencheese]

Citeh have drawn once and lost once and won the rest at home this season.

I'd love to see us make a statement and I'd love to see Bowery make a statement.

Speak for yourself, I'm bored of the prize going unfailingly to the richest guy in the room.

[Steve R]

Lambert's swansong part 1. We can relax and play. We'll beat them so badly the price of petrol will go up 2p a gallon.
