I am with you Leeg.   Calmest I have been all season.   The cats are all hiding, people are crossing the road as they pass the house, my hens are all having an early night.   All the things they all do on a Villa match day to avoid an outburst of rage aimed at the world in general and them in particular.   No need.   I am as calm as Bowery will be when he slides the winner through Hart's legs.

[Villafirst]

No pace at all? Weimann is very quick and Bowery is no slouch. Bertrand has pace too. If we had Benteke and Gabby, City would be bricking it.

[Legion]

Totally chilled.

It's written in the stars...

We could do without the diving, City.

[Stu]

Our defence still looks terrified as soon as any opposition gets within a 5ft radius of them.

Fuck it. I am Zen. And Masterchef is on shortly.

Have you seen who plays in our defence, and who plays up front for them?

I don't blame them being scared.

[Legion]

Ordinarily, I'd be sh*tt*ng myself. I'm not.

[CJ]

Thought Fatty Dowd was supposed to be ref?

[PaulWinch again]

Lowton really can't defend.

[Legion]

He was deemed too fat to referee.

KEA & Lowts being skinned.
