***Official: Villa v City Match Thread***

Tight on Navas. But I'm sure we'll do okay with that team. Bring Nacho on with more than 10 mins left though please!

Left back aside, a decent team.

I think today might be the last we see of Ian for a while with Sergio coming back after the international break. Hope I'm wrong, but going on Peller's track record so far he'll be back to third choice.

Word from the ground, Yaya and Kompany both injured.

Yaya, komps, silva and Aguero all out. Can we postpone then?

Yeah, but I'm lying.

You awful man.

Slim you cunt. You had me searching my various reliable Twitter sources for news on this.

Happy birthday Mase! May kolarov stop a cross in your honour. God knows it'd be the only one this year.

Dance for me puppets, dance! Muahaha!

Sterling will have a field day against Hutton who is possibly the worst right back in the league. Richards is nowhere good enough to be a centre back in this league, he'll come out to try and take on Bony physically leaving space for Yaya, de Bruyne and Sterling to get into.

Wish it was a later start as my head hurts like fuck and feel like someone's slammed me with a hammer. I am not ever drinking again.

Happy birthday Mase mate. Have a good un and hope three points is your pressie.

Feel a bit for Navas as he's so useful this season. Hope the litthe rest has done wonders for Kev.

No beer for the away fans on the upper tier. Cunts

[Bleed_Blue]

Sky doing a decent pre match segment on city.

[Dameerto]

We're going 4-3-3 again, let's do this.

[sheblue]

Really like that city team, come on lads.

[Slim]

The last post has to be one of the most haunting tunes ever. Especially as it's played in complete silence in the background.

[Paul68]

Total respect to both sets of fans for the silence for remembrance.

TBH, I've watched 4 games this weekend City aside and every one of them has been very respectful.

It has to be said: blue football shoes do not go well with the Villa socks.

And pink boots doesn't go with radioactive yellow, but just about nothing does.

Excellent ball in the box....no cunt there!

[mr_nool]

Am I too late?

Let's fuck these cunts up!
