2-1

[Brazilian Villain]

I'd have more hope if it wasn't an early kick-off. 1-1.

[Mellin]

Do these fuckers.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

We will win again. Ollie will score again.

[Toronto Villa]

We go again.

1-0 to the Villa. Ollie to get it.

[Smirker]

Think it'll be another good one.

Similar to two years ago. Win on the Wednesday night, then play Arsenal on the following Sat. Less recovery this time as it's a 1245 rather than 1730 and we were home for both 2023 games. But Arsenal had an extra night recovery then, not so this time.

Winning this would be some statement. Even moreso than the consecutive 1-0s over Citeh and Arsenal.
At half-time tonight, I would have taken a draw. I feel the same about Sat but this lot are believers. We could well win.

I wanted 4 points this week
I want 6 now

We have nothing to fear.
We will win.

Need to score at least two to cancel out the inevitable 40 yard screamer from Eze. Why wouldn't those Palace twats have sold him to Saudi Arabia?

[Rigadon]

Be good if their centre halves are still injured.  Just for the corners. 

We can beat anybody at the moment.

I really hope Martinez recovers in time from his back spasm. This will be tough - the fixture schedule is crazy. UE has rotated his players superbly. Arsenal fans are worried given their mounting injury list. I'll go for a narrow 2-1 win.

Nah.

0-2

[ChicagoLion]

This is set up to be a hum dinger.
I like the fact we have put this run together without playing that well except in spells.
I think there is still more to come.

[Witton Warrior]

I've gone all giddy and predicted a win

[darren woolley]

I'm going for a Villa win.
