Manchester City v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

10 nil City. Cant believe 16 people think we'll beat them

[KevinEaton]

What's that you say? Club in crisis? Lost their last 3 and now out of the title race? Don't worry Villa are here to help. Advance to next week, if you pass the Villa team bus collect 3 points and be on your way.

5-0

I've gone for an unlikely draw because I'm bored with predicting defeats.

[Hillbilly]

Aguero and Sterling vs the worst defence in the prem. Could get ugly.

[eddiemunster]

Oh. Fuck. When are the easy games coming up?

Next season.

Don't you mean the season after next???

What are the 18 people who think we'll win on?

[Lobsterboy]

4-0 will be surprised with anything less.  Specially after them getting battered tonight. Hopefully they will ease up as they have their champions league game to play next week.

Unfortunately they are not due to play again in the Champions League until the following midweek so we'll get torn a new one

[Risso]

It's going to be an absolute hiding. 5-0.  Usual drivel from Garde and Richards afterwards.

Only afterwards?

[Risso]

Ha ha, fair point.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I think City will probably declare when they reach 150 then put us in to bat.

Mate of mine is a Man City fan, I just posted this on his Facebook page.

Lost 3 in a row ? Title dream fading ? Feeling depressed?  You need a dose of...Aston Villa ! Struggling to find the net - we'll give you a two goal start. Defence looking leaky - we won't get a shot on target. Choose to play your reserves and coast through 3-0, or go for the goal difference - you have a chance to be the first team to score ten in a Premier League game. Aston Villa. Helping teams out of a rut since 2010.

Edit : Oops, missed out the all important I before just.

Richards and Lescott at some point before the game to declare how fired up they are for this one. Then come game time they'll have an absolute mare (as per normal).
Then Richards will come out after the game having trundled round the pitch pretending to care, and issue a rallying cry to fans. At which point every Villa fan around the world will collectively shout, "Fuck off Richards!! Go back to the donkey sanctuary!"

Sorry, I posted it, not him, have edited to make clear.

I'd take a 4-0 defeat now.  4-1 would surprise me.
