Surely the poll options should be :-

Narrow Home Win
Easy Home Win
Embarrassing Double Figures Home Win

I'm the eternal optimist where Villa are concerned - but if concede early again, I am fearful for what could happen.

Can we not forfeit? Waste of everyones time and money.

[Des Little]

What's the point?

[Clampy]

Can we not forfeit? Waste of everyones time and money.

Not to Man City it's not.

[Nunkin1965]

Is there any chance of us retiring hurt at, say 0-5?

[mikeb1982]

We must be like a bonus week off it's so easy to beat us. Two early goals, the rest will be like a training match for them.

[PaulTheVillan]

They're going to thump us without even trying. Great.

I hadn't realised one of the players posted on here. Can I have your autograph please.

[VillaAlways]

Not to Man City it's not.

Correct Goal difference could be crucial to them come the end of the season.

Be afraid, be very afraid

[levico]

Another chance for us away fans to vent our spleen.

Apart from that this match has no relevance whatsoever.

Don't think we'll be doing Leicester or Spurs any favours.

[TaxDodger]

First Premier League game to reach double figures? Perhaps this can be our goodbye gift to the Premier League.

My second least favoured away fixture after Chelsea. Its such a bleh experience.

Dull soulless ground, no decent pubs nearby and a place where we never, ever, do any good. Even when they were shit.

[Toronto Villa]

I look at Everton at home last season and Man City away and still can't figure out how amazingly shit we've become. We played so well vs Everton and against Man City, despite Guzan's best efforts, that was arguable one of our best displays of the season albeit in a defeat. Fuck me. I can't even think what the score will be in this one. I'm guessing we will have a nil next to our name.
