Bravo generally doesn't seem to be the keeper he once was.

You mean this as a good thing, right?

Villa might just look to pack the defence and hope for the best....

Yeah, but they'll need a lot of luck as well. I saw odds of 6/1 on for City, which is pretty close to Villa having to throw a 6 on one roll of a dice. Not that likely, but definitely possible.

I meant it as a bad thing over the last 8 years, but I suppose you could consider it a good thing if you're just considering his time at City (I'm certainly less frightened with him in goal now than I was at the end of his first season with us!).

We are due to lose a penalty shoot out no matter who our keeper on Sunday is.

Shouldn't get to that of course but a big upset would spur Villa onto staying up this season.

I am not counting any chickens,anything can happen as wigan proved,although that was a perfect clusterfuck storm that day

Wasn’t it? Right down to getting piss-wet through. What’s the weather forecast for Sunday late afternoon?

Thanks for that, Karen. Thinking about thermals as well as waterproofs!

Hopefully we score lots of goals and are jumping up and down a lot ha

Let’s hope so. Though at my age and with my aching joints, I’ll perhaps let my grandson do my jumping for me!
