Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

[Richard E]

They're going to tear us a new arsehole.

To be honest I shall be quite relieved if it is just the one new arsehole that they tear us.

[Goldie.7]

Going to go for 1-1 with them equalizing in the last 10 minutes.

You just never know with city, they can as some put it 'tear you a new arsehole' or they can look average, not the latter very often but on the odd occasion.

I'd go for

Guzan

Amavi
Clark
Richards
Hutton

Sanchez
Gana

Sinclair
Veretout
Gil

Ayew

If we set up to have a go, you never know. If we enter with the mindset of damage limitation, we'll get battered.

We need pace to counter their midfield and wingers which, in Aguero's absence, are their main strength.

They'll only play one forward so don't even think about playing three centre-halves. Really can't decide who should play up front so I've gone Sinclair on the "bound to score against former club" principal.

Guzan

Hutton
Lescott (just keeps his place as Clark was so bad)
Richards
Amavi

Gil
Gana
Veretout
Sanchez
Ayew

Sinclair.

[CT]

1-0. Fuck them.

Veretout will score the winner and we'll all have a jolly good chuckle at Delph.

Yes, I might go menswear shopping rather than going to the game too.

[Stu]

Villa win.

Word.

[four fornicholl]

we do ok against city
villa win

[The Edge]

Who knows? Can Remi make the team look organised in just 1 week? That would be a minor miracle after the total dog shit we have endured recently. I'm going with my heart with a 1-1. Guzan to set up their equaliser with a defence splitting pass to an unmarked millionaire in a sky blue kit.

[Des Little]

Villa win.

Like it boss
