Manchester City vs The Magnificent Aston Villa Pre-Victory Thread

[peter w]

Hope those that do don't mind me starting this.

Time to get on with the day job and focus.

[Toronto Villa]

You need a poll there Mr Amateur on who's going to win, or whether the punters think it might end as a draw.

Anyway, I fancy us getting a hard earned point. Benteke for us 1-1

[olaftab]

Yes focus required. So we are away not home but well done anyway!

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

This whole thread is a mockery of a farce.

[Legion]

Monty? Where are you?

[Gerrin]

I was thinking it was about time for the pre-match thread.

Man city were lucky against West Ham by all accounts at the weekend, so you never know. I'd be happy with a point just to keep us ticking over.

[Clampy]

It's time to forget about the FA Cup (if we can) and concentrate on this. Man City still look a good side going forward so it'll be tough but there's no reason why we can't get a point.

[Ron Manager]

I should imagine everybody is still up on cloud nine. Supporters,players, backroom staff. We all need to come down to earth pretty quick. Believe it or not we have a serious relegation fight to contend with. Luckily for us Man City have gone off the boil, There is discontent in the club
so we have a chance of gaining a decent result. It down to Gilet Man. Can this superhero come up with the goods?

Would you like to bet against him?

Im off now to watch Aston Villa V Liverpool FA Cup semi final just started on BT Sports ! !!!!!!!!

Getting thro' the game without any injuries will do for me.

Actually getting any points will be a real bonus

Pretty much this.

I'm pretty confident we'll put in a good performance.
Last season we set up to keep the score down - and failed!

I'd like to think we will get a point.
UTV!

I would send out a shadow squad as reward for their efforts on Sunday - this game was always a hiding to nothing so keep them fresh for Wet Spam - we beat them and a bit of fortune with other results and we can coast to the final

...and I don't think my head, heart and nerves could cope with a third win on the bounce against a "top" side!


Ahhh, f**k it, I'm going for a Villa win!

[Jon Crofts]

Do we have 11 fit players?  If so, draw would do very nicely thanks.
