It's Your Round Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 2 minutes ago, HKP90 said: Just saw a stat that no villa manager has ever won their first three games. That can't be right surely? Also on a stats front... "Manchester City have won their last 15 Premier League games played on a Wednesday, scoring 36 goals and conceding just six." Well....shit. Stat one is correct, Gregory being the only other to win the first two. Stat two is frightening but unsurprising given their dominance in recent times. All good runs come to an end though, don’t they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in all matches against this lot, I just want us to perform as well as we can (on & off the ball), no stupid mistakes that cost us a goal (let them earn it) and basically, not get battered! Oh and not being p***** off with the ref or VAR would be nice too! Yeah that team is not a weak team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we need to be right at them and be aggressive from the off. Let's test their resolve. Bailey up against Zinchenko maybe. Have to try and buzz around Fernandinho too. The rest have had quite a bit of first team action despite the Man City fan panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I really want to see us ramp the atmosphere up tonight. Give the dirty mancs a slapping on the pitch and verbally from the stands. Let someone know just what they walked away from. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Just had a tenner on Ollie to score first and Villa to win 2-1 or a 2-2 draw, 125/1. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is 5-1 to city and villa fans fighting amongst themselves in the stands because of their different attitudes to the return of Jack Grealish. Can't imagine its going to be a fun night, still going along though out of pure masochism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I predict....carnage! 3-2 Villa. Gerrard to get red carded for tripping up JG as he's coming on and then slapping Pep around the face. Luiz to come on and net a hattrick before signing a 5 year deal and getting a Villa tattoo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I say play 10-0-0 formation. Just to piss on their title chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted December 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hard to see anything other than a mauling by this lot to give Gerrard his first taste of a pasting. Still though, as they say over here "the ball is round" so anything could happen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Griffin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 3 hours ago, BleedClaretAndBlue said: We’re all realistic enough to expect nothing from this fixture. The game at their place last season was the best we’ve done against them in a long time. Thats how i gauge this fixture now, just by how much of a game we can give them. Their fanbase despise us (feelings mutual lads) and think we should just surrender our top players to them because they are so high and mighty. Yes well done, you cheated football and brought the best of everything. Its such a great footballing fairytale story. Scruffy manc c*nts. Some clubs in worse off positions to us may understandably feel that Villa is doing exactly the same thing, we just haven't hit their spending numbers (yet) but we have only been at it 3 years.
