***Villa v Champions Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Early KO for this one. No Dias, but Lewis is available after suspension as might Akanji. Stones being on the bench you'd think would be, but he wasn't to be trusted when Dias should have been substituted after 75 minutes last Sunday, so who knows?

Not confident at all about this one. Though Villa themselves aren't in the best of form, it is at their place.

Be happy with a draw right now to be honest, though I'm not sure we'll even get that. We are just conceding too many soft goals with individual errors and when we concede one we look like rabbits in headlights and are nervous to the extreme.

Hoping for a morale boosting win.
Settle for a draw
Concerned greatly we get beat again

1-1 Haaland

My cousins Live in Erdington Birmingham all Villa fans were texting me last night saying they fancy their chances I said don’t fancy ours . I am in Portugal right now I normally I would find a bar to watch City games but don’t think I will bother with this one . Hoping for 1-1 but my head is saying 0-2

[john@staustell]

I fancy their chances too

Had a bet on Villa and both teams to score. If we’re going to be shite it might as well pay for Christmas.

2-1 City win. Grealish with a rare goal and no celebration. Then start crying at the end of the game. More shite!

I saw that he’s not scored for City in over 12 months. More chance of Walker having a good game.

More chance of an incontinent 95 year old keeping a clean sheet than us at the moment

[Nigels Tackle]

only need to play half as well as they did last season to absolutely smash us
that was the game that exposed this season’s issues and we did fuck all about it

Didn't lose another game after it- I'd say we reacted quite well

That was luck rather than judgement. They had 2/3 really good chances which could easily have resulted in conceding

I fancy Grealish scoring over that clown ever having another good game. I'm feeling positive today.
