Aston Villa v Man City Pre-Match Thread

I just need us to be 2 or 3 goals up or down after 80 minutes. I know, I know, but I have to drive for 15 minutes to a thing that starts at bang on 7.30. Don't Sky know that a handful of us have lives?

[Witton Warrior]

This is what I love about being a football fan - nobody gives us a chance but we are all still going...

Come on Villa!

[Lastfootstamper]

I might have the Upper Trinity to myself. I'll be able to non league it and swap ends so as i'm sat at the end we're attacking.

Then kindly keep to the cheap seats, we don't want some johnny-come-lately interrupting our premium-priced moaning.

I paid nearly £14 for it! I should get caviar at HT for that price.

[SoccerHQ]

1-2 City.

Think we'll have a good performance though and take the lead, been a while since we've been in the lead and lost a game.

Benteke should get 20 minutes aswell which will lift things.

[MONCABA]

I've woken up this morning with renewed optimism.  2-1 to our Villa boys.

[JUAN PABLO]

This is why a top club will never sign Ron - to injury prone

1-3 Lamp arse will score and agero and the tall geezer

Delph for us

You're only going down so you can play 'spot the reindeer'.

Is vlaar out again ??

Most likely, yes.

[Holte Sweet]

I have woke up optimistic.I predict they will sack Ron Saunders, he will join us and lead us to glory after years in the wilderness.

[Duncan Shaw]

I'm weirdly optimistic too, could do without Lampard though!
2-1 us.

[Chris Smith]

Cold, grey and wet - feels like a proper football day.

[PeterWithesShin]

Or one of Wayne Rooney's dates.
