Reading v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[gpbarr]

If we lose tonight I expect him fired tomorrow.

Then perhaps the best result for all would be to get turned over tonight. Sadly, we will probably get beat (one half of the equation) but he still wont be fired with the club talking about stability .........

Reading have lost 1 home game in 2017. We've won something like 4 in 45 away games.

Realistically the only scalp would be Readings. A big surprise if we were to beat these. I'm amazed Villa are favourites for this at the bookies.

Sorry state of affairs. Reading win. Bruce sacked in the morning?

[Lescottstweets]

Back to back away losses. 2-0 reading

[Chris Jameson]

I'd like a Villa win with Terry picking up an injury that rules him out of the Norwich match on Saturday meaning I don't have to see him in a Villa shirt.

1-3

Terry, Gabby and Lansbury

Come on you villa boys!

1-3

Terry, Gabby and Lansbury

Come on you villa boys!

Villa

[Matt Collins]

I never want us to lose

A draw and a good performance followed by a win v Norwich and things will look brighter

Don't know why but I feel quite optimistic

[Skerra]

Have a great 31st Ads but, oh my goodness, that also means you have so many years in front of you watching the Villa!!!

[Clark W Griswold]

Seeing as we're absolutely wank, I'm thinking 2-0 them. Might be a bit tighter than Saturday but they'll finish us off with a late second by Bacuna.

[Nev]

It will all click tonight, a comfortable 2 none win to herald the start of an unbeaten run. Just the sort of thing I have been waiting for throughout the last 6 years.

They'd not lost at all at home until we beat them last season. Their record means fuck all.

They are without key players, they've signed shite like Bacuna, couldn't beat 10 men over 90 minutes and looked dire defensively against QPR.

We need a response and only one result will do. I fancy us tonight.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I too fancy a shock Villa win. When Bruce was at Hull he seemed to have fluffed their promotion challenge but right at the very last game managed to get a performance out of the team that came from nowhere. Well he's once again under massive pressure tonight, let's see if he has finally that bit of luck he's been missing since he got so lucky getting the Villa job.

Villa 0-2 win.

[Skerra]

Come on lads, be realistic, 1-0 maybe but, where are we going to get 2 goals from?? Unless Bacuna thinks he's still playing for us and scores a couple of OG's!

Really you'd like to see the captain of the Villa team injured? I wouldn't wish injury on any player that wears the shirt.
