Aston Villa vs Newcastle: Two teams in need of three points

Villa v Newcastle is one of the most interesting Premier League fixtures of the weekend (and not just because of Villa). Both sides have won one of their opening three games, and both sides desperately need a win to get their season going. It's going to be tight, hard-fought game, and Villa are a decent bet at 15/2 with Betfair for a 1-0 win. Villa have had arguably the toughest start to the campaign of anyone in the division, but have showed real improvement already from last season. A hard-

    • This thread has lost the plot now. Talking about flattening a 400 year old building to extend our out of date stadium. 
    • I posted this on the old VT front page in 2002  
    • Here's mine FWIW, and I think I've been quite generous to Man Utd and quite conservative for us     Edit: the problem with these predictors is it takes games in isolation. I realise I've got Liverpool down to win every single game they've got left. Which isn't going to happen. Even though they're all winnable on paper. @OutByEaster? similarly has the top 3 all undefeated for the rest of the season, with Arsenl adn liverpool drawing one game each being the only points dropped Same applies with Man Utd. They have very winnable fixtures on paper, but I don't think they're capable of putting a 2.2PPG run together for the rest of the season.   It's why I prefer to look at trends and PPG. It usually accounts for fluctuations in individual games
    • Rogers is nowhere near ready but we can all see his potential. Zaniolo is a walking red card in a heated derby atmosphere. Has to be Ramsey.
    • The council need to raise 1.25 billion pounds in the next year or so to keep their heads above water and a minimum 500m of that has to be through asset sales. We should absolutely be battering down their door to force a move through for Aston Hall and all the surrounding land or another land parcel big enough to build a stadium more central. Any council owned land right now is up for grabs for the right bid.  If we can keep the hall and incorporate it into a new stadium complex in a sympathetic manner then great but if not - get approval to flatten it. The council could even come in as partners and keep an interest going forward as it could be a very significant regeneration project. 
    • I don't think Man Utd are going to be getting 7 wins and a draw out of 10 games to be honest. But again this reinforces that even if they did go on a mental run like that, we only need to produce an average run in to still beat them
    • And end of season Man City are a completely different animal. They're (usually) unstoppable
    • I'm extremely excited for tomorrow's game. It'll come back to haunt me, but I can't wait. Bring it on

'Can't buy a start' wtf...
    • Better weather and lighter nights on the horizon, huge league run-in and a Conference League quarter-final, damn right I'm buzzing.
