Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Pre-Match Thread

Who's getting sent off in this one?

One or two of theirs, hopefully.

Surely we have had our quota of red cards for the season and now we must start benefitting from dubious decisions in our favour.

It's about time we had a penalty I reckon.

we would need to get into the opponents penalty area to get one of those, so that might not be happening any time soon either. Right now I'd settle for a free kick 20yds out.

Hmmm lets see.

Christmas/New Year period - check
Villa to slide into the annual relegation scrap if we lose - check
Dire opposition in free fall and desperate for a lifeline - check

Yeah I think I know how this story goes.

Gonna play my fair-weather fan card and record this one. My hangover will appreciate the extra time in bed I think.

No need to play with three centre backs in this one. Lambert really needs a positive team selection here. Rico, Bacuna and Grealish all in please

Lambert will roll with CNZ cleverly & Weimann no doubt.

[Des Little]

We're going to batter this bunch of bastards today. Three clear goals at least.

I wonder will Gianluca Pagliuca be interested in B6 hot seat job ? with Sid as no 2 and Platt as no 3 (Both speak Italians).

My fear is lambert will select -
----------Guzman-------------
Hutton vlaar Clark cissoko
N'Zogbia Richardson Sanchez cleverly
Gabby --------benteke ------

Pedant alert: Guzan.

It's that just the case

[OzVilla]

Another draw. 0-0 or 1-1.

I will see your pedant alert and raise you Cleverley with 3 E's and a capital C and Vlaar with a capital V,  Cissokho with a capital C and a h and Benteke with a capital B. I will leave it to Mr Legion the expert to come up with a mark out of ten but for me it is a definite 'Can do better, see my after class' job.
