A great bunch of lads Hurrah the villains etc. So anyone got any funny tales or stories to regale us all with regarding everyones second favourite team ? Plus we have the old link with them Collymore, Staunton, Heskey, Warnock, Saunders, James to name a few Edit : They probably hate us for that bunch
Barcelona and Bayern Munich watch Aston Villa games for inspiration. Neymar, Messi, and Ronaldo all have clauses in their contracts stating that their teams HAVE to sell if Aston Villa put in an offer. No oil baron has bought Villa because they think they can't afford to buy it. If you drop toast at Villa Park it always lands butter side up.
A few lesser known facts: Aston Villa is the Swahili phrase meaning "footballing perfection". Jesus's robes were claret and blue. Jimmy Hoffa is buried on Aston Villa's grounds with his arms around Amelia Earhart in a lovers embrace. Juan Mata thought he was signing for Aston Villa when he signed for United. The soothsayer that predicted Caesar's death also predicted Villa to beat City by 3 goals.
we got Downing off them, hopefully he can do us a favour along with Carroll for the west ham game as well. i used to like watching villa under o neil as they was good to watch, not so sure now days how they play.
Villa pumped arsenal at the Emirates. Beat Chelsea this season too, they can go for the kill against man city and claim a win against the 3 sides from 2-4 in the table
Villa have taken 1 point from the last 18 available away from home Before Saturdays win over safe Hull, they'd taken 1 point from the previous 6 fixtures. They're mince
I think City would have to turn out in slippers for them to fail to get at least a point from this one.
seriously tobes that means **** all, wasn't it some relegation team that broke chelseas home record ,and also when utd lost (cant remember if it was home record or just wining streak) in a season they was unstoppable, either way it was to a team they was expected to beat.
Sunderland took Mourinho's home record with Chelsea the other week, but the salient difference being that they were fighting for their PL lives. You can never say never in this game, but there's little that you can make a case around for anything other than a comfortable home win tomorrow. West Ham on Sunday might be a different proposition though, as they've got enough to be able to hurt City given the chance. You'll put a hatful past the Geordies, and I predict a cagey and nervy affair at City.
I know... derailing our Villa love-in. Speed of light is a constant across the known universe- except in Villa Park. The grass there is actually an army of really small skinny green men from Jupiter. Maradonna's hand of God goal was a mistake- he was actually waving to a fan in the stands wearing a Villa kit. Zidane headbutted Materazzi because Materazzi told him Villa sucked. The Anfield Cat is actually a descendant of the lion that posed for the Villa crest.
