Well, we all know what this is about, don’t we?
Every man and his dog knows that the most popular time to watch football is 3pm on a Saturday afternoon.
So why the heck do Sky prefer to show all the games at 4pm on a Sunday?
It frustrates the heck out of me and I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that.
So it’s another very convenient, perfect last day decider at the top of the table. It’s also even more convenient that there’s a last day decider at the bottom too.
Coincidence or planned?
I know what I think, but it’s not something you can prove is it?
It’s just all too coincidental and Sky couldn’t wish for a better situation.
I have to admit it is exciting, but it’s also annoying, because you know they’re going to switch to the Liverpool game every few minutes or when there’s a goal, but at least those who actually attend the games won’t have to worry about that.
Although they might actually prefer to miss most of the game, because I can’t see anything other than a very convincing victory and title championship for Man City.
There was Micah Richards’ comment that Villa will earn £15 million if Citeh win the league and I still don’t know if it was a joke or totally true.
If it’s the latter, hopefully it goes into the transfer pot, my concerns about Gerrard, apart.
Squad news and there’s nothing changed from Thursday, which is perhaps a small miracle in itself. I worry now that at least one of our players will be crocked because of something that happened in training.
As for Citeh, John Stones and Kyle walker are training, but it’s not known if they’ll be ready for this game.
Not that it matters, as Citeh have such a superb squad, it’s hardly a problem if they have half a dozen injuries or more.
It makes me sick, but it is what it is.
Tactics then and how can you counter Citeh them and try and stop them scoring?
Quite simply, you can’t.
They’ll massively outwork us in a way that is miles more effective and just pass us to death in our own half, patiently waiting for a chance.
Which, with our defence scares me.
They’ll be full on it and we’ll have to be content with watching them pick up the Premier league trophy.
I’d actually bet on Man City to win here, but the bookies agree with me and the odds are ridiculous, hence I’m not going to bother.
I was speaking to a Chelsea fan this morning and he said he has a feeling that we’ll beat them.
When I asked why, it was the same old “well it’s Gerrard and Liverpool, isn’t it?” and I wasn’t surprised.
He too was surprised when I told him many fans weren’t convinced by him as our manager.
I find it fascinating that so many fans think if you were a great player, you automatically have to be a good manager, but there you go.
Prediction time then and I see goals. I do think we might sneak one, because Citeh may well leave gaps at the back as they go all out.
I’m going to go for a 3-1 defeat.
And I really hope Grealish, if he plays doesn’t get one.
Two reasons. One, because I think he’d genuinely be gutted and two because it would just be sod’s law, yet again. And I hate that.
UTV!
Whatever happens we are up against the best side in probably the world, on their patch. Just don’t ask me how. UPTV
So the Sky script is going as predicted. Are the players and managers really actors? I can’t help but feel scepticism. If Citeh score and go 1-0 up then how exciting is that for the Sky viewers. Maybe a loss in subscribers?
Citeh to win with another Martin Tyler “Agueroooooooo” moment? “You’ll never see anything like this again”
Yeah right 😏
Spot on Holte.
Liverpool to take the lead, then Citeh get one or two against us?
That’s the most outrageous conspiracy theory I’ve ever hard and frankly disrespectful to the the effort Villa are putting in.
So, it’s great TV – it is what it is – and yes Citeh are still favourites to win this.
Ollie!! What a miss… he’s not bad but he just isn’t good enough to take us to the top 6.
Slight aside, but we’ve apparently signed Boubacar Kamara on a 5 year deal!
An impeccable source, in Fabrizio Romano.
That would be some coup.
Oliver starting to show his true (blue) colours
Said it for years he’s a true blue FA mate him .
Fuck me, Coutinho, 2-0
Big Phil!!!! OMG!!!!
Coutinho – 0-2 Wow
Ok, it’s playing a different script.
Coutinho does Pool a big favour.
But we still need to get about another six goals for anything to change, I believe.
Get in
Ooh, unless Pool win?
Going to the wire. Again.
Badger, what were the odds on us for a 2 nil win????
Probably about 30-1, but it’s academic.
A 3-2 defeat is where my money would go now.
Man city score 2-1
Oops…2-1!
Sod – we’re going to lose this
Hahaha haha what a surprise! We concede and then we bottle it. Typical Villa. I expect a 3rd soon no doubt.
Now 2-2 and the script is playing out perfectly.
Do you really believe this is scripted Badger?
That’s ridiculous.
Putting Nakamba on seems to have upset our shape.
Hitch, I don’t know how they do it, but I honestly think it is.
It’s just all too coincidental.
Haha, it’s laughable
waiting for the Gerard free kick to win the title for the pool now badger lol
And there we go! Hope you gents put your 3-2 bets on..easy money!!
