Aston Villa vs Man City pre match thread

[Drummond]

Got a bad feeling about this one BUT it's a bit of a free hit! Expected defeat, draw would be absolutely fantastic.
let's hope those final seats are snapped up by the 20,000 in the next couple of days, be a bit demoralising for the new Head Coach who is used to a packed ibrox every match to see empty spaces in the stands.

Looks like it's going to be another cold night with temperatures close to freezing later on in the Evening

Cold night you say? Freezing temperatures? It's a disgrace. Come on everybody fuck being warm and watching on TV. Get yourselves out.

Dean Ref and Friend on VAR. We're fucked.

Oh fucking hell.

Dean's a media whore. He'll get more attention if he wrongs one of theirs. Friend is a C-word though.

may as forfeit now and take a 3-0 defeat - saves the players fitness

Got a feeling we’ll get a 1-0 win. At the very least we should be coming into this game with masses of confidence and belief. And if Grealish plays any part let’s absolutely boo the roof of Villa Park so he knows what a Judas he is

I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of booing him! He'll love it.
I would suggest a complete blanking of him.

In an ideal world this would be the course of action. However, given the number of superior, sycophantic berks who'll no doubt cheer and clap the blister a counter-response will need to be parachuted in.

JG is all about brand Grealish, Social media likes, attention. Booing him will/would play directly into him.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but does anyone know why it's an 8:15 kick off?

With Grealish coming back, plus the officials it's like a shoal of ****** descending on Villa Park. I hope we fucking smash them and their tedious brand of football.

[Sexual Ealing]

As if the Man City player will come back from an injury this quickly. He'll be gone till the spring.

[Demitri_C]

Laportes banned and stones may not make it so could be dias and ake at cb. Also as well as grealish KDB doubtful.

We will probably lose but be delighted with a point.

[RichardBatchelor]

A shite fixture - you just don’t see the ball for minutes on end.

[Nev]

It's a bad enough fixture without it being such a late KO. I hate League games where just "holding your own" is more or less the aim, it gives you little to look forward to. If Joe is absent I think that will be a good thing for us, his presence will introduce even more negativity where we could do without it.

Of course football has the element of surprise so I'll stick my neck out for a draw but that is in desperate hope rather than sort of confidence.

1-1
