Aston Villa V Man City pre match thread.

[inchy14]

With Mu-Everton, Chelsea-Arsenal there will be points dropped for our rivals in some way, all we should do make sure we are 3 points better after weekend.

Villa away was lost last season, awful defending, bad luck, lack of experience of Pellerini etc. Now only a win is good enough before another interational fixture.
Last time we had to think on the Stoke loss before inter. break, hope its a win now...

I think Jovetic gonna start and hopefully he is gonna have the form he had in pre season.

Rivals???

Taking Mrs Ledge away for a romantic weekend in Pitlochry... anyone know any decent boozers where I can watch the game?

Romantic weekend and you're allowed to go and watch City in the boozer!
You must have an understanding missus!

I haven't mentioned it to her yet! That said I'm expecting her to be wanting to watch it as well... she'll get her rewards later ;-)

No idea if the football is on but The Moulin has its own brewery

Already banking on spending most of my time in the Moulin and sampling it's product but from looking at their website I'm not sure they'll have the game on. Big bonus if they do though as it means I won't have to get off my arse all day. Who says romance is dead?

THis is our chance to get the Stoke points back and put us back on track. I think we'll win and comfortably. Villa are pretty poor and their table position is false. I read a stat the other day they had them almost last in shots on goal, passing, possession.

Totally agree a win wipes away the misery of that Stoke defeat and actually put us 1 point better off than the corresponding games last season. Come on City lets get our fast slick passing game out and win by at least 2 clear goals.

Not looking forward to this. Gonna be watching it with a Villa fan, which usually only means one thing.

Looks like Benteke will be back, which should give Vinny something to think about.

Big game, need a win.

No yaya for me this weekend, not been making enough of an impact. Could maybe come on as a sub if things need sorting but he needs to know he doesn't just automaticalyl start every game for City.

3-1 City
