R.I.C.O. Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Can't believe the season is about to start again. Only seems like yesterday we were cheering on the blosers relegation comedy act, and now here we are, with their ex-manager in charge and our two wing wizards gone for good. Never mind, at least we replaced one of them and Albrighton is ready to step up. Given is definitely one for all your fantasy teams, he's going to be a busy man this season! Still I can see us being more solid this season and stable. Tomorrow? I think it will be a typical curtain opener where we will probably draw. I reckon we will take the lead through Bent and then hold on for the draw but Fulham will nick a goal. Just like last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Let's hope we can get the season off to a good start. Hoping to sneak a one goal win; fearing that we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Unfortunately I think we're going to lose this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickerMan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think we will lose, I'm sorry to say. I've never been less bothered on the eve of a new footie season. But there's loads of other things going on in my life. Which is nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAFC2000 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Given, Warnock, Collins, Dunne, Young, N'Zogbia, Petrov, Makoun, Heskey, Bent, Agbonlahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I wanna see Albrighton start this one. He may have looked mediocre in the off season but this is the real thing. Maybe he will step his game up. We need him to have a good season this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Going into a season with Heskey on the left wing (probable) is so utterly utterly ridiculous. Think we will lose this one 2-0. I just dont see where the goals (apart from Bent) are coming from this season. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Id go with: ------------------Given------------------- Young-----Cuellar---Dunne-----Warnock -----------Makoun----Delph-------------- N'Zogbia---------Ireland----------Gabby --------------------Bent-------------------- But Heskey and Petrov will both play. We need Petrov because apparently he has 'Experience'. Great. We'll just ignore the fact that he's crap and cant pass the ball forwards. Mcleish will set out to try and draw this match. Basically because he's a prick and a shit manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I predict an ugly 1-0 win. Which is fine by me. Up The Villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBGB Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I agree it'll be ugly. But Fulham are ahead of with their fitness from being in Europe while we don't seem to be quite there yet in terms of meshing as a team. So I can only see a loss for us, 2 or 3-0. Cue mass suicide on VillaTalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think we will win 1-0. Nzogbia bagging the winner. Come on villlaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete165 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I would like to see: ---------------------------GIVEN------------------------------ ---YOUNG------DUNNE-------CLARK--------WARNOCK---- --------------------MAKOUN---PETROV---------------------- -------------------------IRELAND----------------------------- ----ZOG------------------BENT-----------------GABBY------ But I think it'll be Heskey for Ireland like Braga or mybe Delph for Ireland in a more defensive 'away' lineup.

El_Hierro Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hoping for this, but as above I too think Heskey will be in there somewhere, probably on the left with Zog on the right. -----------------------Given------------------------ Young--------Dunne--------Clark-------Warnock --------------Makoun-------Petrov---------------- Albrighton-----------Ireland-------------N'Zogbia ------------------------Bent------------------------ 1-1. Bent and Riise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilGibson Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 -----------------------Given------------------------ Young--------Dunne--------Clark-------Warnock -----------Makoun----Petrov---Delph---------------- Ireland-----------------------------------N'Zogbia ------------------------Bent------------------------ This the team I would like to see tried. I know it means Ireland in the wide areas, but reading some of the stuff Man City fans have said about when he played his best football was drifting in from the wide areas. Think we need three in the middle because of the lack of a true defensive midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Finally the new season is here. Think this will be a tough start for us but that it'll end 1-1. Bent to open up the score for us. But the first games are always hard to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
