Match Prediction: Travelling to the sty

Love it, and let the insults fly because they'll be back in the championship next season and we won't have them there to point and laugh at. Anyway 2-0 to Villa.

dont hold back damian just let rip with the insulting thats the way its gonna be for the next few days. gonna miss the sstart of the game so we will prob be 2 or 3 up by the time i get to the tv. come on the villa. final score 3-1 to villa, barry 1, babby 1 and hopefuully a ridgewell og.

I'll be there loud and proud!

I have to disagree with some of the comments on here. I hope we win but it will be difficult. No win away from home all season is not a record we want going into this game. I also feel that Blues are going about things the right way this year.. buying some good decent players and not overpriced hasbeens. Muamba, Kapo etc are just what they need to establish themselves and that is what they are doing. So I am going for a 1-0 to villa but a hard fought slog of a game with some nervous last ten minutes as they hoof the ball repeatedly into our penalty box. I am also betting that the Blues are here to stay for a good few years so Young & Gabby better get used to having the cr*p kicked out of them as that is exactly what Bruce will be sending his players out to do. It worked for long periods for Derby and Blues are a good way better than that shambles of a team

LOUD AND PROUD

[b]ASTON VILLA FC[/b]

COME ON!!

come on u villans we will win :)

I hope both teams play well but i think we'll overcome them with our better attacking players, and of course, better defense.

whats in the bag? 3 points for villa is whats in the bag
this is there second biggest game of the season. there biggest is when they come to us!

it's all down hill fo rblues from here on in .. shit on the city

We shall not we shall not be moved
We shall not we shall not be moved
We're the pride of Birmingham
We shall not be moved! ;D

Ive Got my ticket!! blues r really crap.how are the likes of kelly gunna control ashley young?? its just not gunna happen.easy villa win 3-0 Come On Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2-1 Villa ~ Barry and Young

I just feel like it's 2002 all over again and we're going into this game expecting to turn them over easily. I am very worried about Sunday as I think that we are a different side away from home, if we don't score in the first half then I think we will be coming away empty handed.

derby games are very very different games indeed, write blues off at your peril, they will be up for this mark my words. but i read today blues still havent sold out the sty, how embarassing is that?

I can't believe they haven't sold out, like David Gold said "Tickets are ONLY £45" lol

I was concerned pre Bolton about all the positivity being expressed in many different forums, I was worried and I wasn't far off the mark. I even asked for people to dispel my concerns.

However, I have no reservations or concerns for Sunday's game, we ain't gonna lose end of story.
We are superior in all aspects on and off the pitch and the pressure is on them as they are at home.

Outside bet 1-0 Villa - Petrov?

When I was just a little boy, I asked my Mother, what should I be,
Should I be Villa, should I be Blues, here's what she said to me Get your
father's gun, and shoot all the City scum, and support the pride of Brum,
Aston Villa.

we will conquer. enckleman aint playin so we gotta have a good chance of winnin! i predict a 2-0 first away win of the season. tru, muamba n kapo may be good, but they not premiership class, so i think we will havein the braggin rites this time. get in!!!!!

I think we'll win, but it really will be difficult. Blues will b up for this and, as someo0ne else said, no away win all season is not a record we won't going into this game. In fairness, we haven't played many games away from home but still...

Come on Villa!

WHATEVER :D

It'll be a tough game but we shouldn't get beaten. Not confident we'll win as we were crap against Derby.

Still biggest club in Birmingham, as we have been for 133 years Blue Blood! ;)

I just hope were up for the fight and dont bottle it like we have done b4.I feel we have the better team but given its a derby and all the brain deds will do is kick our players to peices i think it will be a draw 1-1

Going back to reality, (although I love the confidence :))this has DRAW written all over it, IMO.
I predict goals though ;D

COME ON U LIONS!!!!!!!


HOLTEENDERS IN THE SKY

This will be a very difficult first half for Villa, but if we can get through until half time on level terms I feel that we will nick it with a single goal. Possibly Laurson or Melberg. Blues are not a bad team in comparison to five or six of the others so that is worth bearing in mind.

Well the thing is even if we lose we will be still 3 points ahead of them with a game in hand. Im not saying thats what i want and the bragging rights are nice but at the end of the season if we are well above them and they go down it clearly shows who are the better club. We are trying to make progress with our team and trying to get up into Europe so we should be beating teams like these but its a big occasion and anything can happen.

Im just glad to see our lads are keeping their mouth's shut and getting focused on the game.

I think we will win it but it is not in the bag as some people suggested.

UTV

the pre match nerves kikd in yesterday!! i am nt sure bout dis 1!we shud win but its a derby so hu knows!!! a draw wudnt b d worst result!but ithink villa2-scum0 knight and reo coker! outside bet lol

I certainly will be down there singing me heart out! Not to happy about the 45 holes for the ticket, but i suppose it usually costs me more for a match and train ticket away normally. No travel expenses, and it will be worth every penny to do them sh!ts

Come on you claret swines!!

1. We haven't won away so far this season.
2. They've been decent at home so far this season (only bad performance/result was against West Ham).
3. Without Carew we're a touch too lightweight to be going into a local derby I reckon.
4. Arguably our best player this season is struggling to be fit (Ashley Young).

I'll take a draw and be happy with that. I fear a dour 1-0 defeat.

Baldy, at the moment Carew is rapidly gaining fitness. Young is also.

re: Young and Carew - I'd feel happier if they weren't being rushed back.

Young will get clattered in first five mins by their fullback. Just to check how fit he really is. How he responds to that (and how the ref responds to that) will determine the course of the game.

I can't believe you all get so wound up, you think the players really give a toss? they are from all over and just pick up their wages, it's just another game to them, it's just the fans that build it up. It's hardly world class, a bore draw i predict.

Taglor - lot of truth in what you say. And that is exaclty what is wrong with the PL. No local prode (fortunately we're the exception in Gabby, Luke, Gardener etc). Oh for derbies like they were in the 70s. REAL committment. Tackles flying in. Blood and thunder stuff.

Wish we could go back to the 60s when keepers got charged down! clips of those in my dads collection are fun to watch! ;)

R'ber Baldy from the BBC 606 days, if it's the same Baldy. Quality poster, knows the game.

The past 3-4 games haven't suggested to me that Villa will win. So will go for a draw. Blues aren't that poor, players like Kapo, De Ridder & maybe Palacios or whatever his name is can do some damage.

i dont want carew to play. i dont think he is as good as everone says and would much rather see luke moore play.

Well I reckon we'll thump them blue nose's 4-1. COME ON THE MIGHTY VILLA
