Manchester City vs Aston Villa Pre-Match

As they said on the excellent The Villa Podcast: “Imagine hearing the deathly silence at the Etihad at 5 to 6 and for once there’s an actual reason for it”.

I did enjoy that comment and I do enjoy that podcast.

Win, lose or draw the result in terms of who lifts the Premier League trophy is pretty unpalatable.

Guess there will be a helicopter with the silverware hovering in the Wigan area.

I really don’t like the Liverpool narrative so just for once I’m non plussed. This probably makes me a bad fan but at least I’m honest.

We'll be a goal up as we go into second half added time... and then Grealish will summon his inner Aguero.

Let’s hope his inner Aguero is in Argentina and has to catch a plane to get here.

I think they can safely tie the sky blue ribbons on it now.

Last trip North. Setting off shortly. It would be s miracle if we stop City winning the league.

15 mins gone , are playing well then then they score. We dig in and keep going but then on 60 mins they make it 2 and the sky wankfest starts. Ratboy comes on and on 70 mins nets. At that stage I kick the TV over have a row with the missus and head for the pub.  On the way to the pub I remember there might be some plastics in their so head to the offy instead. Get bladdered go home have another row about the cost of a new TV. Happy bloody Sunday.

[PaulTheVillan]

They’ll score inside 10 minutes and that’ll be that.

[manic-road]

I would love us to get three points to move up the table a bit but expect to lose by three.

[olaftab]

OK I was hoping for a miracle but just been told that we are playing in dark blue  third kit today. So far we have 100% loss record in that kit. We are doomed.

It’s a cracking podcast. The Gary Neville slating metaphor of Matty Cash as a future pundit talking about his old super sub mate Buendia as Villa manager is absolute genius.

The oil bandits will be 5-0 up at half time, and will end up winning 6-0 after they take their foot off the gas in the second half and we huff and puff for 45 mins.

[PhilVill]

No chance and Sky wankfest all over after 15 mins when they 2-0 up. 4-0 overall and the end of a particularly pants season. Then a nice visit to the Freeman's in Newcastle next week to see if I manage to see next season in full. Hey ho, it's all fun 🙄

[PeterWithe]

I hope the social media gang who ‘want Jack to win it’ haven’t got tickets. The thought of Villa fans staying to applaud him with his shiny bauble turns the stomach.
