Aston Villa (3) v Bologna 1909 (1) Pre Match

[JUAN PABLO]

1-1   (4-2) 

[brontebilly]

I'd go;

Martinez

Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne

Onana, Luiz

McGinn, Tielemans, Rogers

Abraham

Very difficult team to pick. Third game in a week, likes of McGinn and Tielemans only back from serious injuries. I'm not sure Cash is fully fit either. Buendia will definitely start after his impact in the first leg. Id give Ollie the start again too. I think Mings might come back in but Torres is key to getting us playing.

I'd go

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Onana, Luiz, McGinn, Buendia, Rogers, Watkins.

Rowe will get sent off, we'll stroll it.

[Richard]

Abraham and Buendia should start, bring Rogers and Watkins back in for Sunderland. Maatsen for Digne too. Is Sancho near to returning?

2 1 to us anyway.

[Martyn Smith]

Anyone done the Bologna coming to Spaghetti Junction joke yet?

[Somniloquism]

MODS, Martyn is trying to get around his ban from the "Jokes" thread by posting them here instead!

[Pete3206]

This won't be straightforward. It never is.

Nervy 0-1

[Crown Hill]

You can see why these cnuts aren't keen on elections. They're shit at them.

Edit: I've either posted on the wrong thread or the media has got it in for me.

Bologna don’t like elections ?
C unts. We better batter them now.

Quick bit of research and I find Mussolini was born only 50 miles from Bologna. Bang to rights. Smash them.

Their stadium was built as a fascist showpiece. Mussolini opened it riding a horse. The alcove under the tower in the stadium has a statue of Mussolini until it was pulled down in 1943.

Complex place. Was a fascist hotbed in 1923 but very anti fascist by World War 2.

Ban this sick stunt.

I reported him to the Mods, but I haven't heard a sausage from them.

[darren woolley]

I can see us winning 2-1.

[Baldy]

Stop Rowe and we win this. Unai will have a plan.

1-0 to the Villa.

[aj2k77]

I'd prefer Forest to beat Porto as from what I saw Porto played for very slick, tasty football going forwards and looked the kind of side capable of blowing someone away in the home leg.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yes but Porto would be exciting.

We've played Forest roughly half a million times.
