Manchester City vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Allan C]

I’m half don’t care and half Villa win. But we know it’s gonna be all about Pep no matter what happens in the game so we may not even get a mention even during the game so hardly worth us actually turning up. I think we’ll win 2-1 anyway and I hope we play the team from Wednesday night. I’d love to win this but if we don’t who cares !!

I look forward to mock cheering Man City goals and chanting '1-0 to the Champions' as soon as Arsenal start winning their game.

No.

Bizot

Garcia
Bogarde
Mings
Maatsen

Hemmings
Luiz

Elliot
Barkley
Sancho

Tammy

And I don't want to see any subs on the pitch over the age of 20.  We'll get hammered, and I would genuinely struggle to give less of a shit.

Think it would be unfair to throw Hemmings and Bogarde at CB in from the start. Lindelof can start at RCB and Bogarde in midfield. Bailey will get a run at some stage too.

Fuck "Pep", fuck 115 and their dead eyed supporters, the empty seats, the Gallagher brothers, their casual disdain for the domestic cups they win.

Whatever the result, we'll watch from the moral high ground (for now) with that warm glow from Wednesday. A feeling their supporters last had when they got out of L2 probably.

3-2

I was chatting to my bro in law at a funeral yesterday. He’s a blues season ticket holder and a nice bloke to be fair. They have though convinced themselves we are a team where decline is now inevitable as their trajectory goes upwards. Ot is fooking brilliant.
They are utterly irrelevant to me.

In decline - well that can't really happen until end of next season surely as this season we did better than last?

One more season without promotion and their financials won't look so clever and points deduction is inevitable - advise him.

I love Bournemouth beach and their sexy football but I don't want them in the CL!
How else do we sign Senesi and that young fella they have up-front who scores goals for fun and was born in a casino?

So come on Villa and Brentford on Sunday.

I hope everyone turns up wearing Arsenal shirts and Arteta face masks.

[Toronto Villa]

We might not see any World Cup players from our side and only a few from Man City. I’d actually go for the following:

Bizot, Garcia, Maatsen, Bogarde, Mings, Luiz, Elliott, Barkley, Sancho, Bailey, Tammy

Put some of the kids and one or two starting players on the bench. I don’t see any point of them risking anything before they head out to their national camps.
