Aston Villa vs Leicester City Pre-Match Thread

Two nil to Villa and Benteke to score at the Holte End.

It would be nice to see any sort of Villa goal at the Holte End. Was Fulham at the beginning of April the last?

Wasn't it Delph v chavski

Didn't Holt (remember him, anyone?) score at the Holte End when we lost to Fulham?

I would bloody love a few Villa goals tomorrow, especially one or more in the Holte End where we'll be. Sounds greedy but I genuinely think the team we can put out tomorrow is good enough to give these bunch of chancers and has-beens a good turning over. I don't like the way our club is being run and I fear the manager has run out of ideas but I'll be cheering the team and want nothing more than Lambert to lead Villa to victory with some decent attacking football thrown in to boot!

I'll be north lower tomorrow R3 where the goals will be flowing.

A quick bash on the unquestionable simulator that is Fifa, says that we will win 6-1 tomorrow. Zogbia with a double, Gabby and Cleverley continuing the scoring and Benteke getting a double late in the game.

I'll take that.

We seem to be getting a bigger share of Sky games than normal (in these post-2010 drudge years).

Car crash television. The bloody vultures.

Still havent forgiven these bastards for what happened in 1970. Hope we thrash them and they get relegated.

Remember the 4-4 draw? Was that under Brian Little? Possibly the game where we lost all confidence and went on a downward spiral iirc? 4-1 up at one time. Mark Draper playing for them.

Yeah couldn't believe that result we had been on such a good run going into the game too. 

Yeah the Fulham game was after the Chelsea game last season.  Didn't know it had been so long since we had scored in front of the Holte and to think it was Grant who got it too!

Have a feeling Cleverley will open his account tomorrow. He played for Leicester for a bit didn't he?

He needs to start contributing some goals anyway otherwise he just goes down as just another in a long list of very mediocre midfielders we've had at the club in recent years.

[Matt Collins]

I thought cleverley started quite well but he's been a bit anonymous since going out wide

Westwood has also gone off the boil

I think the team pretty much picks itself for tomorrow, the only real choice being the formation. I'm assuming n'zogbia comes in.

3-1 to the Villa boys Come on you Lions

I'll take that.

My game came up with a 2-2 draw. With me scoring a beauty of a volley and Nzobgia burying laser of a shot as he sprinted into the box picking up a Benteke through pass. I have no idea who scored for Leicester, I don't pay much attention to what happens in that half of the pitch, tracking back is not my thing.
