Aston Villa v Manchester City pre-match thread

[QuintonVilla]

I hope Wycombe go through. They deserve the pay day. We could do without another tortuous game to sit through.

We can't beat anyone at VP.

Fixed for you.

No Way! We can beat anyone at VP. FA cup games are the only matches that I've had a real interest in over the past 5 years.

Good point well made.

It's the FA Cup.... Anything can happen

Surely with that kind of attitude from fans we can hardly complain about the players not giving a fuck? I want us to smash Wycombe out of sight and then see what happens in the next round.

Couldn't agree more.  WTF is happening to us when we want to see our team beaten even if we are shit?

Bloody right! We need to go out fighting. If we're sure as hell goingdown lets at least play our strongest team and wipe Wycombe out before tearing a hole in Man City.

Well at least try and do that anyway.

[Morleys left boot]

We can do this  they may have better players ,they may have more money ,they may have a better game plan
They may have better strikers but ....it's only Wycombe  fight like marines villa we can worry about city after

Oh well, at least we can concentrate on.... Oh

I'd quite like us to have an 8 month pre-season. Close for refurb. Re-open in August. Although that's because I need a break.

I don't want us to get beaten all the time, but this season has been horrific. If we could press a button and end it tomorrow I would.

The most likely scenario is that we'll probably scrape through against Wycombe and then give Man City the easiest game they'll have all season, particularly as we've used up our quota of luck against them for this season in the 0-0.

And yes I'm quite aware I'm being a miserable git.

I hate this defeatism.  We will beat Wycombe and Man City is a perfect draw for us. No shame if we lose, massive boost if we snatch something.  The very last thing we need is another banana skin after the two Wycombe banana skins. Bring it on. Hart, the Holte has unfinished business with you, Baldylocks.

[Des Little]

That's that then. At least we won't embarrass ourselves at Wembley this year.

[PeterWithesShin]

There's a difference between being fed up with this season, we all are, and hoping we lose at home to a fucking 4th division side.

[Bully2345]

I'm not a fan of the defeatist attitude here.

The romantic in me would love it if we packed Villa Park and threw ourselves behind the team in these games coming up. It would send quite a statement that the fans aren't giving up on the whole thing and maybe galvanise the players into a bit more effort when they look up and see the Holte bouncing.

More chance of me dating Mila Kunis though

[supertom]

If we win the next two, ask me again.

[brian green]

Who is Mila Kunis?
