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

[nottsblue]

Early 12:30 KO for this one. We’ve lost our last three visits to Villa so we are due one.

Imagine Viking will be back. Hope so. Villa are on a good run of form lately so this will be a tough fixture for us. Wouldn’t be disappointed to get a draw to be honest though obviously we are capable of winning

1-1 Anderson

Taking my l8 year old and his banana to his first domestic away game. Early darr on the rattler. Straight to the away boozer opposite the away end. Going to be a good away day as usual

Mase is right their fans are just jealous vile scum, having encountered them at Wembley 2020 just before lock down

I cannot ever remember not being nervous waiting for the team sheet to be announced or waiting in nervous anticipation of when a sub is going to be made and who is going to come on and off.

Maresca has got it all Spot on so far.

Seen their pathetic chalk messages on the pavements near the away end.... All washed away by the rain overnight!

Foden dropped after his hat trick

I love Doku for obvious reasons. One thing I have noticed though is that if his full back gets the better of him during his first couple of dribble attempts he tends to revert to passing back and sideways, I hope that’s not the case here. Come on City

Nunes is our most important player.

We need a plan B as its not KUs

Unsure why tf no boudiddy or foden.
