Aston Villa v Reading Pre-Match Thread

[Comrade Blitz]

3-1

[JUAN PABLO]

4-0

I'll go for a free flowing game and a 2-2 draw with Hogan bagging them both.

After the game Bruce will declare we are too open at the back and we will draw all our remaining fixtures 0-0 - apart from the Blose who we will of course beat 5-1 with Nathan Baker scoring an overhead kick...

Us-3 Hoopy Berkshire Bastards - 0

I like the optimism - Villa scoring more than two, especially if JK doesn't play.

I think there is a certain amount of irony / crack cocaine / fantasy / blind optimism in these high-scoring predictions.

We will score early then retreat into our own half for much of the rest of the match. They will equalise and SB will say after the game: we didn't do enough to win and improvement is needed + we are learning from our mistakes. My answer to that would be, you say the same thing after each match and, as you're the manager, how about trying a different tactic like pressing the opponents higher up the pitch. There's nothing in the laws of football restricting a side to just 1 goal

Villa home win 2-1. Personally I do not think any games should be played on a Good Friday or Easter Monday.

Well, tell Fulham that.

We've ended up at a massive disadvantage just because some bloke was rubbish at hiding when the Romans came round.

1-1 Draw for me.

2-1 Villa

[Tayls_7]

1-1 Draw for me.

I'd prefer a win. I'm funny like that.

I am not going so we will doubtless knock in a cricket score.

[Skerra]

Cheltenham, I doubt that!!!

Cheltenham, I doubt that!!!

If you know anyone daft enough to want my ticket let me know!

[Legion]

Can I have it?
