Going to be my lad's first Holte End experience. Would take a draw.

3-1  Regis Yorke and a Daley volley. Les Sealey popping in and out of the snowy fog.

Hopefully they've spent the last couple of days concentrating on penalties. If we get one on Sunday it will be very interesting. I'm going for a 1-0 to us. We need to show we have bouncebackability.

If they are due a win at our place.(see above)...when do we get a win at their place?
Thats a different set of universal equations. We will never win at their place, even when they are eventually bumped down to Div 2 and we draw them in the cup, the footballs God dictate we lose to man city away.

My young fellas first game in Villa Park, and my first trip over in a good few years. Arrived here yesterday. We're having a great time.

Please attack them and take shots Villa. Brentford and Sunderland showed today how teams who on paper are not favourites and take the game to supposedly better sides. If are slow, deliberate and in a way subservient, Man City have too much firepower to now take advantage of having the ball. We simply have to take the game to them.

We're going to unleash Evann, Ollie, and Cashy on them, they won't stand a chance.

I have a hunch that Sancho starts tomorrow, based on nothing more than my dog just yawned and said it.

when they see them 3 on the team sheet, they will jump straight back on the bus and F off back up the M6.
