Aston Villa v Manchester City - Match Thread

[Villan57]

Minus one degree in Aston tonight FFS why can't they have international breaks in December instead.
What a great evening in prospect 20% possession and freezing my nuts off

Mine were in the washing machine for the Palace game, so the substitute pair secured a rare away win.
Dilemma, do the regular pair come straight back in, or do the replacement pair keep their place in the team.
It's a big ask, but I am going with the replacement pants.
COYL.

Wear both.

I'm pretty sure Villa are playing Man City tonight and not just Jack Grealish according to all the media hype. Sick of this bollocks already. I hope we play our hearts out tonight and wipe the smug smiles of their faces.
Fuck being plucky losers let's really lay down a marker

You can't change now. I wore exactly the same stuff at Palace as I did v Brighton , and will do the same tonight.

I've got 20 pairs all the same, it's a bit like having a luck dip on the Lottery , you never know!

Back to under pants again, that's the only marker we'll be laying down

I hope you don't leave a mark in your lucky pants...especially if it's squeaky bum time

Think I will wear one pair on my head, that should do it.

And stick 2 pencils up your nose while going " wibble" ?

BANG UP FOR THIS ONE

I am in full on optimistic mode and really feel we can get something out of this game.

Wear all of your underwear simultaneously, just to be certain.

I know some love them but a bloody hate midweek night games in the winter, especially when there is no need for it

I don't know. I t beats staying in and watching I'm a Celebrity or something.

What’s the reason for the later kick off? Is it traffic related? The extra half hour to get ready and home from work whilst letting the traffic thin works better for me, except it goes on the other end. Could be a late one getting home

It's the K.O. time Amazon Prime have decreed.

I see, above posts now make sense

 

[JW1985]

Got to be honest I'm half dreading this.

An even later than normal kick off and I'm on shift at 4:30 tomorrow morning. I can already see us getting battered, cities arsehole fans singing about Grealish all night and then getting stuck getting out of Deykin Avenue for 54 hours as usual.

But having said all that I still wouldn't miss it.

 

[Silhillvilla]

So the second half will kick off at 21:15 , game will end around 22:05 , booted out the ground about 23:15 , cab home for midnight . FFS . Early start Thursday too
