Aston Villa vs Newcastle pre-match thread

[olaftab]

This is awful Smiker, starting a thread for a match when we still have 3 (THREE) to play before this match.

[Somniloquism]

That and starting a player thread before STS, he seems to be wanting to take Torontos "jinx" title off him.

[rougegorge]

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.

Apologies - I had to look up DOGSO! -  I shouldn't have trusted AI and Google searches saying it would be 3, but not violent conduct so it will be just one.

[Somniloquism]

It is hard to find anything from most official souces. However the Fantasy Football pages have him for a 1 matcher.

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

I thought he would be out for the whole season playing for another team. Wasnt expecting him to still be here.

[RamboandBruno]

2-0 us. Watkins, Malen.

[Demitri_C]

If they dont get a striker in i wonder if they will desperately  try get isak to play.

1-1 this one .

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

1-1 this one .

It’s reported that he’s not travelled with them to their last friendly fixtures in Spain and I don’t think he’s played a pre season game. It’d be a big ask to throw him in for the first game of the season.

Isaak ?

[cdbearsfan]

I'm guessing he meant to quote Demetri.

[VILLA MOLE]

It has to be said they are still bloody good team even without Isaak , I would not rest on him not playing

[VillaTim]

If he does play it'd be like when Gregory played Yorke at Everton just before his move to ManUre

He hasn't even been training with them, he is holed up at Sociedad waiting for his move.

They've sold Wilson too . Not sure who they got as a CF now
