I hate playing villa and I hate early kickoffs.
Might swerve this one.

Who is getting more support from the Villa fan base: the players or Gerrard? It's coming across as the manager is losing a lot of the players.

Gerrard I would say going by the Midland Banter pages I'm on.

I long for the Moyes days where the likes of Pienaar, Osman and Cahill would toy with Villa on a regular basis.

 

[Peter The Dog]

i've got this down as a 1-1.

a must not lose match for both clubs.

like others, i hate the early kick-offs. this match has the potential of ruining my weekend before it's even started!

First away game of the season. Not looked at the stats but as far as I recall our away form has been poor for years, except for the Covid season. Need to start picking up points away. Even if can’t win don’t get beat.

A loss, no doubt involving Michael Oliver smugly parading around the pitch after a sending off. Weekend spoiled. Fantastic!

I think we'll win 2-0 today. We lacked a real attacking threat up front, but if we play like we did against Chelsea I think we'll be fine.

The villa fan forums are really not happy with them atm, apparently Gerrard completely inflexible, has favourites, falling out with influential players and sitting arms folded on the bench without changing stuff

Got a feeling if we start with the intensity we did v Chelsea we'll beat them comfortably mate

Well hopefully we can give them their wish by providing a drubbing today and the tit is jettisoned although I'd rather he stayed around for a while.

It'd be good for Villa to go at least five or six games being terrible.

After us they have a really horrid set of fixtures the next four mate.

We have a bad record down there against villa, a bad record against stevie-me and a bad record of red cards when we have Oliver. Can only see one out come 1nil to the blues
