Manchester City v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Richard E]

I think Sterling will cause the more trouble if anybody. We're hopeless against pace at the back.

Fixed.

Further fixed.

[DaveD]

It depends whether City want to secure the points with the minimum fuss and effort, so they'll take their foot off the gas at 3-0, or if they see this as a chance to ramp up the goal difference and send a message to the other title contenders,  in which case we might need new words where embarrassing and humiliation don't quite get there.

[CT Villan]

We'll be two down after 10 mins, then City will canter to a 5-0 victory...and someone who has never scored for City will break his duck.

[darren woolley]

I can only see a City win 4-0.

[Dr Butler]

Of our remaining games against Title/Champions League contenders, I am convinced we'll throw a spanner in the works of one of them. Not necessarily a win but perhaps a spirit crushing draw. But it won't be this game.

Just thinking...there aren't many records left that we haven't broken.  Does anyone think that the heaviest Premier League defeat by any team could be on the cards?  Double figures perhaps?

And I'm not joking

6-0 defeat. "And they were lucky to get nil." will be the reaction of a smirking Sky Sports analyst on next week.

[andyh]

I see the number 8.

If Liverpool can score 6 and Everton 3, I fear the worst. 

[Smirker]

4-0 City. Richards to describe the match as one of the greatest of his career, just to be able to watch Aguero so closely was an honour.

 

Can see this being an absolute thrashing. 8-0.

[avfcdale]

half time escape to victory, come on we can beat these (looking for slit trench or deep cover)

[Mossie Hennebry]

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

Is that not what we have been doing?

Anyway, make some money out of the misery:
HT/FT ManC/ManC pays 6/5, and
ManC -2 is 6/4.
If you can bear to bet against your own side, it's Quantitative Easing for the Soul. Which, incidentally, was the name of Routine Humiliation's difficult second album.

Anybody who doesn't pick Aguero as captain of their fantasy this weekend is very brave indeed.

And play their Triple Points Captain card..

Or a positive view might be that City rest all their top players with a Champions League 2nd leg game only a few days later.

[clash city rocker]

It ain't funny anymore..it fuckin hurts.

Well they're 8 behind Spurs in goal difference so this would be the ideal game to make that up.
