Aston Villa vs Man City pre match thread

Be interesting to see if he persists with Watkins or tries Ings (if fit) out.

Despite the Pep years, I've never seen them dominate us more than the first half under Lambert at home, we had Kozak up front with Weiman. We barely touched the ball but inexplicably won the game with that Joe Hart howler.

So it can happen.

That game was daylight robbery. Superb.

Think we drew 0-0 the year we were relegated too. Seem to remember De Bruyne falling over his own feet, instead of tapping the ball into an empty net.

Apologies but couldn’t see correct thread for this. With the ongoing issues with trains after the game can anyone suggest where to park before the game. Coming in from South Brum.

Depends on what way you come in (ie straight through town, M5 or M6), how far you're prepared to walk and how early you're able to get there

Peps said kvb is back but probably missing as needs ti build fitness after covid

Foden andbgrealish back in training. Foden ruined us last season so be glad to see him out  but expect him and grealish to be in squad

[Dr Butler]

I don't think he will be fit by the sounds of it, but expect he might start if he is anywhere near ready. 

Water under the bridge now, but I still think there would have been a bit of him that was sad to leave the club, yet felt it was something he had to do and he made his decision. 

If he does play, I would rather he is largely ignored than have abuse aimed at him.  With the arrival of Steven Gerrard and after the start we have made under him, it feels like we have finally moved on from him.

Bollocks to that, if he turns up he'll be getting dogs abuse from me.

And me.

Ings is out then. From Gerrard's comments about managing Young, he might not start this one I reckon.

After reading that Torygraph puff piece in which Joe bangs on about how close he came to leaving three years in a row I hope he gets absolute dog's abuse from every corner of Villa Park. And I hope Purslow never, ever invites him to any of our games again. He's a Judas.

I hope he does. I'll chuck a half time cup of coffee over his £1,000 My Little Pony trainers.

Out or injured and on the bench like he was on Saturday?

So, the music played over the tannoys tomorrow should include tracks like Dirty Cash; Money, Money, Money; Pricetag; Money, That's What I Want;
