Popular Post villaglint Posted August 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) So I did a 10 game accumulator on the Weekend and got every game except ours correct! Would have won £31k but had us down for a draw instead of a win. Serves me right for not being optimistic enough. So judging by that I reckon we'll stuff Chelsea 8-0 in the ultimate payback. Is that how life works? Edited August 20, 2013 by villaglint 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 £31k! You have my sympathies. I got 9 out of 10 right once and it annoyed the hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regular_john Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I remember being in a bar in Manchester years ago and talking to a lad who'd done an accumulator over the weekend, he's gotten 9 out of 10 right and was on the verge of a big win, all he needed was for a seemingly 'guaranteed' result to come through, think it was Man Utd v Wigan. In the last minute, Wigan (or whoever it was) gets a last minute equaliser and his money goes down the pan. Don't think I've ever seen anyone look more upset about anything.

villaglint Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Well I wasn't too disappointed because it's tough to be anything other than smiling after winning away at Arsenal on the opening day of the season. Also it happened on the Sat and I still had the Sunday and Monday games to go before I knew how close I'd come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hoping that the Chelsea players are a bit more tired than we are. Tho I doubt it, they've got a very good squad. 2-1 loss with my head, another 3-1 win with my heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We're going to lose...... but I will be a happy little Villan if Benteke could see his way clear to flattening at least twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of a friend missed out on 4 grand when Drogba missed a 92nd minute penalty against Spurs a couple of years back, he was pretty distraught!

Villastine Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Will be a very interesting game. I presume he will rotate, so we could see Mata, Luiz, Lukaku and Schurrle come in. If we score first then we have very chance of beating them. They are not the quickest back 4 in the league so hitting them on the counter coudl really hurt them.

Guest av1 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is holding a news conference ahead of his team's home game with Aston Villa on Wednesday (1945 BST)."It was not such a big surprise (that Villa beat Arsenal) because they can do that to any one of us. If you look at the statistics from last season they had more points away from Villa Park."They're a good team, they can beat any of the contenders (for the title)."

lapal_fan Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think we'll lose 3-1 but I'm not going to be upset. I think it's about time Mourinho beat Villa and I just think having so many big games will take a little out of us. I'd love to be proved wrong though, I just think they have enough players with moments of brilliance to stick it in the onion bag more than we do. I'm finding it very hard to anticipate which villa will come out though, could beat them 3-1! It's going to be fun either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think this entirely depends on how our back 4 and midfield hold out. We've got enough firepower to do them some damage, and they're definitely gonna be in the mood to do so to make up for what happened last time.

Swerbs Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It'll probably be a typical 2:0 for Chelsea and Mourinho, however if we manage to score the floodgates may open for both teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'd take a 2-0 to be honest! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwegianvillain Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 i'd actually take a 2:0 loss too, 3 point and 0 GD after away matches at Emirates and Stamford Bridge is pretty f***ing good for anyone outside top 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think we'll score a few. Only question is how many Chelsea will score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted August 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think we'll score a few. Only question is how many Chelsea will score. mourinho teams don't often concede "a few" at home. i think we'll score but the best i reckon we'll get is a score draw. actually i'd be elated with a score draw.

tarjei Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I can remember that being true for his periode at Chelsea, but I think the record at RM was more than a goal a game conceded at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
