Aston Villa vs Manchester City Pre-Match

[cdbearsfan]

Point of order: the Japanese spell whisky correctly. 😉

And once you lads produce anything to rival real whiskey, you can express your opinion 😉

If I have to drink whiskey then it's the Irish stuff for me. Doesn't give me heartburn like most Scottish ones.

Japanese all the way here, though almost always mixed with soda water and called a 'Highball'. In fact I'm drinking a can now on the train home after work.

The Japanese copied the Scots and their recipes so it's all good. My nan, a Dumbarton lady wouldn't touch Irish whisky. My mum's mum from Cork, said she wouldn't clean the toilet with Scottish whisky...

Incidentally, are there any English or Welsh distilleries?

Yep.

That one in Oxford is very promising. Always been a fan of Penderyn too.

[SamTheMouse]

Yep, I finished a bottle of Penderyn's Myth not long ago. Very respectable Welsh whisky.

[Axl Rose]

Cheers Cd, mate!

Now we the Donk as an enforcer, maybe he will be given the job of dealing with the Pumpkin Faced Assassin.

[Rory]

I bet Roy Keane is absolutely shitting himself every time he lays eyes on him.

I would pay good money to watch that match up.

Dendoncker already a doubt for Saturday...its the Villa way.

I am sure its nothing trivial

Yes typical Villa, mind you we could probably play with the whole squad on the pitch and still lose.

[UK Redsox]

This chap is coming to Villa Park on Saturday and I am not sure how Konsa and Mings are going to cope with him? He is a total freak, nothing like him has ever appeared on a top level football field before. I can't think of any sportsman with same ferocity as this man.

There is Marika...

Should have been a penalty.......against Mapimpi...... for, quite understandably, jumping to try to get out of the way.

To be honest I am struggling with my throat and might miss Saturdays game as well.....
