Open your eyes...

Ah it's there now. Ignore me Mr Muscles.

I'm still knackered, mate. Anyway 2-0 Home win. To us.

I think we'll win this one and there will be 3-4 changes to the team for it, I expect Guilbert, Targett and Jota to all start and maybe Douglas as well.

A confidence boosting 3-0 home win and our first 3pts at Villa Park this season.

It's mad but it already feels like there is a bit of pressure on this one. Would be nice to get a convincing win to shut up the Doingafulham bores. I'll settle for any old scrappy win, I don't think Bournemouth will be pushovers, Howe is a good manager. COYVB.

No pushovers but they're in a very small group of teams we beat during the relegation season.

I'm gonna come over as being melodramatic here but these are the games we need to be winning if we are to avoid a nervous first season back in the top flight
Hopefully a good win and 3 points on the board come 5pm Saturday .....still have that niggly feeling that we ought to have signed another striker
2-0 McGinn and Hourihan

In August, too.

Hmmm... on second thoughts, please don't win Villa. It's a bad omen!

4-3 thriller won by...the Villa.
