Sunderland v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Jimbo]

Routine defeat.

[VillaAlways]

0-3 away win with a perfect hat-trick from Agbonlahor.

He's injured

[Legion]

He'd still do better than Gestede.

Sunderland 53 Aston Villa (R) 0.

After the Newcastle game I saw reason for a small miracle that we would survive with a win at the SoL. Results since then have made me realise we won't win so I'm going for a 2-0 defeat. I will be there & think a few pre game drinks are in order to soften the defeat. 

[ADVILLAFAN]

I'm going for our second (and possibly last) win of the season. We always win at Sunderland.

[Meanwood Villa]

We're on for the record here lads, fail to win and that's 15 in all competitions without one which I'm pretty sure is a record. We of course have already smashed the longest run without a league win (18 and counting).

While I guess theoretically the worst Villa team ever is the one that went down in 69/70 (or indeed the one that failed to get promoted in 70/71), this shower are the worst ever in terms of competing at the level they are at. For once that's not hyperbole, the facts bear it out. One to tell the grandkids.

2-0 defeat.

[CJ]

Much needed win for them so they can compete with Newcastle for who comes down with us. Another rusty nail in the disintegrating coffin for us. Losing has become so routine it doesn't even hurt anymore. I just want the season to be over

Crikey, 30% odd still think we will not lose. Please let me have email address of where you are getting the stuff you are on from!!

As for records, does anyone really give a shit anymore?? Plus, even if we did win, with this shower of players, it would not make any material difference!!

[LukeJames]

Sunderland are shit, they're definately going down, we are shitter and already down, 2-1 them.

[aj2k77]

Death by a thousand defeats. 2-0 Sunderland, easy.

[Damo70]

I am one of the eleven so far who has gone for a Villa win. Maybe we all need to voluntarily check ourselves into hospital for 'a little rest'.

[brontebilly]

Proposing a team selection has become a painful chore, still think we need to get Grealish back into the side.

------------------Guzan
Bacuna, Okore, Lescott, Clark

Nope, I'm immune to breaking shit eating records now, Villa have drained me of the pride I had in them, I expect us to be defeated and laughed at and will just try and ignore it all until Lerner and his cronies do one and we get some professionals in.
