Aston Villa vs Newcastle pre-match thread

[Brazilian Villain]

Assuming Bizot will be in goal, a baptism of fire but I guess not much choice with Emi being suspended for, I assume, three games?

I'm not certain, you'll need to double-check with Tim.

[rougegorge]

Yes it's 3 games

[VancouverLion]

4-0 FTF!!

[VillaTim]

Too early to call this but no Martinez is already a huge blow .

[PeterWithesShin]

0-8

[Somniloquism]

Yes it's 3 games

Nope. One for DOGSO which is what he got the red for. The FA would have to decide on any further ban length and they have not said a dicky since.

[VillaTim]

Yes it's 3 games

is it ?

[cdbearsfan]

0-8

I can tell you've had some shocking news, but what's your score prediction?

[Olneythelonely]

Yes it's 3 games

is it ?

It isn’t.

[darren woolley]

2-1 Villa win.

[Flamingo Lane]

It's not entirely a must win game, with it being the first of the season. Mustn't lose though.

[Holte Antipode]

Crikey, a CL six-pointer, this early in the season!
But hang on - haven't we got three other games to play before this happens?

[Nev]

Impossible to call until pre season is complete. Injuries and sales/purchases could have a huge impact.

[john e]

Always a blow when Martinez is out but I’m far far more confident in Bizot than I ever was in any of the other back ups
no one’s as good as Emi but the new lad is a proper keeper

[olaftab]

It might take time for us to bed all the new signings in so I'm going 1-1.

Well they are young we will send them off to bed before KO.
