What you need to be doing is telling us how high quality Aston Villa are as opposition, how they've had an extra day of rest on us before the match, how their manager was our first choice, how it's going to be a real struggle for us to get anything out of this one... Come on, it seems to be have been working a treat, no slacking off now. Get your head in the game.
The thing is while you and most others know the banter drill there's still some strugglers and I'm trying to make life easier. I mean, I did say the cup final win would see the side push on and make the champions league, and that we'd win vs Palace, so we should be ok now. The Ipswich game is probably more important than tomorrow though, but for villa this is it for them.
No, no, no. Read the script mate. As Plodder said, you're supposed to say we will struggle and there's no way we'll beat a very strong Villa side led by one of the PL's best managers.
This is true. Villa will be up for this make no mistake. I would take a draw tonight. But at least we lease we now have them points on the board.
I'm usually optimistic but have a feeling we're going to struggle tonight. I think both teams will score but would say 3-1 to Villa. Any points tonight are a bonus, it's currently one of the toughest places to go.
