Anyone entertaining, even for a second, the thought that we won't gift Man City the three points they desperately need just hasn't been paying attention to Aston Villa for the last forty years or so.

Man City losing to those glory hunting twats then beating us is exactly the sort of thing that always happens, to piss me off. Away win.

they let Alvarez go and bring back Gundogan and Silva looks a busted flush.   

Matheus Nunes why ?

stop with the snail pace at the back and get into them like we did against Brentford.

any news on JJ?

I'm struggling to think of a more spectacular downturn by any team in any sport.
Possibly Leeds when Clough took charge.
There's a film in it. "The Damned 115" starring Patrick Stewart as Pep Guardiola.

Anyway based on what these two are like, I'll go for 3-3 draw with all goals in the last 10 minutes.

I've never been more certain that we will lose a game. I'd genuinely be more confident if they were 10 points clear at the top.

It’s almost like he’s an absolute troll.
