Aston Villa vs Manchester City pre-match thread

[Demitri_C]

Stuck a fiver on 4-4. Big goal fest incoming

[Monty]

We're so losing this. Of course we are. Baffles me that anyone could doubt it.

Not because we're bad or they're good or whatever, because it is absolutely written that, given a chance to do something really great and funny, Aston Villa will flop to disappointment.

While this is the attitude we'll always struggle to be successful.

Fortunately, I'm not in the team tomorrow.

[PaulWinch again]

Dias out for them is a bonus.

I do think Kamara and Onana in the midfield is key for us.

[Legion]

First home game for me and Aston-Lee since Dean Smith was sacked. He is so excited (Aston-Lee, not Dean Smith).

[cdbearsfan]

Hope he enjoys it.

[PaulWinch again]

Yes hope he has a brilliant time.

Two Legions at Villa Park. No, can't possibly think of a single thing that could go wrong.

[BoVillan esq]

Anything could happen. Two inconsistent teams, potentially excellent on their day, prone to silly mistakes the next.

Fingers crossed.

This for me, 2 teams that can make crazy mistakes you can't get your head around, total artisan, and yet, on there day are the 2 most exciting teams in the Premiership, complete juggernauts, I'm going with a draw.

-1² = +1, we'll win.

Two negatives make a positive?

We have been at best pretty mediocre in the league this year. It’d be really nice to really go for it today and for it to click.

[andyh]

Whatever happens today, it will all be about Man City

Villa win - media frenzy about Man City decline and Pep.
Man City Win - media frenzy about Man City back on track
Draw - media frenzy about Man City’s continued problems

[Ian.]

It’s about time we have a decent run over Christmas. 2-0 us, Duran and Onana.

The Collapse and players turning into jellyfish is in the clubs and the team is DNA so this obviously seeps into the fan base
I was at Forest last week to see the absolute pathetic last 10 minutes It was a shit show Unfortunately I’ve seen it many many times over many many years, that’s just a fact

People talk about Tottenham being Spursy we’re worse
I thought Unai Emery might have been the one to have stopped it, but he hasn’t it still remains
If it’s to change has to start with the players, then the fans will feed off that and become more positive but at the moment it’s not looking likely

Let’s see how we get on today
