I might be able to show me boat race for this one. Do I need to wear a carnation? I will not be wearing a Tripps shirt. You lucky, lucky bastards.

Nah, we’ll be easy to spot - a bunch of miss-matched blokes stood around Mrs. P, staring in to our pints.

And me telling old war stories that noone is interested in!

I’ll listen, Grandad

Based on preseason sharpness plus the obvious.
Lloris
Foyth Toby Vert KWP
Winks Sissoko
Lamela Moura Eriksen
Kane

Idk who are fit to play LB. Maybe Foyth as CB, Vert as LB is better.

Foyth is banned too, isn’t he?

Ahhh. Then we are in trouble back there. If Davies is not fit and Rose is not resolve, we have to contend with Tanganga or Georgiou.

Why? We would just play Vertonghen as LB with Davinson in the centre.

It’s Aston Villa, we should be able to wipe the floor with them even with 10 players missing.

Idk Davinson is back. Rose is also on the Audi squad. All is good then.

The other thing, i dont like underestimating opponent, i like to overestimate them so . Did you see the goal McGinn scores in preseason?

Worrying about John McGinn, I've seen it all now. ochbye:

 

[Radical Rei]

Should be to see our new signings in action, Lo Celso and Dybala

I’m not underestimating the opponent, Villa have some good players and are a rugged outfit but if we can’t beat a promoted team at home on the first day then our title challenge will end after one game.

We have to aim for the same standards as City and Liverpool, and our own standards when we last played a full season at WHL, i.e. no more than 3 or 4 points dropped at home.

Of course in a game of football anything can happen, but we need to be confident and go back to playing with a swagger at home. You can play with arrogance without being complacent, that’s what makes City so good. They know they are better than the opponent and they work their knackers off just to make sure they win. We still have a habit of taking it easy against lesser teams or feeling inferior to top teams, that has to stop. We are back at our house and we have some of the best players in the world, no excuses. Work harder than the opponent and the result will take care of itself.

a bunch of miss-matched blokes stood around Mrs. P you say?

reminds me of that film I watched the other day

 

[ElTel]

Grealish hattrick

 

[Cripps14]

That's a bit far flung isn't it ??

I can't believe nobody is up in arms about this dreadful pun.

 

[Coys1955]

I can't believe nobody is up in arms about this dreadful pun.

It was dreadful, but quite armless.

 

[ArjyBarjy]

It will be like a cup final for Villa.

 

[Clynelish]

It will be like a cup final for Villa.

Another painful loss.

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

One more week! Can't wait!



Good to have Villa back to be honest, I've no love for them but much prefer going to Villa Park than The Liberty Stadium (although I've never been to the Liberty because it's so fucking tiny you need 1m points to buy a ticket).

I'd imagine the Club will have updated the vid with Moura's goal!

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Worrying about John McGinn, I've seen it all now. ochbye:

Hope you're not eating your words, after the game!

 

[Clynelish]

Hope you're not eating your words, after the game!

At least in advance there is no reason to worry about any particular Villa player when you've got a far superior team. Imagine what they have to worry about..

 

[Mrs Perryman]

What will you post when this happens?

"told you so"
