alreadyexists Posted October 17, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2020 I have a nagging feeling that this is the kind of game where before the game a draw seems like a good result but after the game we feel robbed? Just a touch of pessimism perhaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t surprise me if a few of their injury doubts recover to make it on to the team sheet. I think the same. I also think this will be a harder game than any we have played so far, could be our first defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Before the season started anything out of this fixture would have been a bonus really. So even if we get a point I’ll be happy. But considering the injuries and our form it does seem a great opportunity to keep our 100% record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never. I'm a born pessimist. Life is more bearable that way. Especially as a Villa fan. Hope for the best but expect the worst. And never tempt fate, especially in front of opposition fans. Remember that video of the Irish Liverpool fan last week? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 10 goals scored in our last 2, factor in the amount of clear chances we missed on top of that. Playing against an understrength defence too. Be amazed if we dont notch a few 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair at this point in our development I'm not so much worried about competition for the head Chef. I'm sure we can move the food quality forward once we're solidly re-established in the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Just noticed Lawro's prediction for the game from the BBC football site: "Aston Villa have won three out of three league games, but it might all come crashing down this weekend. Leicester were taken apart by West Ham last time out, but I'd expect them to be back on it on Sunday. Jamie Vardy will be rested and raring to go after the international break and I wouldn't be surprised if he scores at least once for the Foxes." Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Rema's prediction: 5-1 He really can't get over last weekend's result can he? As for "singer, rapper, Afrobeat star and Manchester United fan Rema"...

God I remember it like yesterday. I was so relieved thinking he was approaching the end of his contract so we could get rid of him for no cost. Then out of the blue because of a couple of good results contract extension. I was staggered. To a lesser extent the new contract for Gabby seemed well OTT as he was clearly on the slide too.
