Manchester City v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Chico Hamilton III]

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

Scoring 1 and restricting them to only 4 is as good as a victory for me. In fact, if they score less than 6 against us, I'll be texting all my Man City mates to tek the piss.

Triple Captain Aguero in Fantasy Football is my sage advice

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!"

I wouldn't play Richards. At least Hutton gives 100%, play him RB and Okore and Lescott CBs. Throw an 80% fit Sanchez in for one of the Festival League standard CMs who are currently playing - Bacuna or Westwood.

A pointless excersise, an absolute thumping by Man City's fringe XI, I just hope they stop at around 7-8, but I fear we have seen nothing yet.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I'd play the kids in this one. Fuck it; what have we got to lose.

Getting Westwood to use one foot is the big challenge.

2-1 Villa. Sinclair, Richards. Lescott MOM. Bacuna with 2 assists. Westwood sent off for a 2 footed reducer late on.

We've got more chance of Clive Sinclair and Keith Richards scoring.

Nice one Herbert - you never fail to make me laugh when I come on here

Richards couldn't mark a child's homework let alone a premiership striker so leave that fucker at home.

[Villa Lew]

In view of their recent exertions, hoping tiredness and they will declare around 60 mins. Admittedly they will probably be about 6 up by then, but I would settle for that.

A second yellow for persistent pointing more like.
