What a fucking ball. Holy shit.

I think Cisse has shit himself at the amount of movement going on around him.

Forechecking.

One thing's clear. Jonas is going to stand out as a weak link in this team. He'll be on the bench soon enough.

I love Sissoko already.

COME ON!

We win 7-3? Deal.

I think some of you are forgetting how much better Taylor is than Willo. What's the longest pre-match thread we've ever had?

AVFC: Guzan; Bennett, Vlaar, Baker, Clark; Lowton, Westwood, Bannan, N’Zogbia; Benteke, Bent. Subs: Given, Ireland, Lichaj, Holman, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Bowery. NUFC: Krul; Debuchy, S.Taylor, Coloccini, Santon; Perch, Cabaye; Gouffran, Sissoko, Gutierrez; Cisse. Subs: Harper, Yanga-Mbiwa, Williamson, Bigirimana, Anita, Sa.Ameobi, Sh.Ameobi. I think I'm being kind bolding Bannan and Charlie (although he always scares me when playing against us). No excuses tonight.

Anita should be in there, but it really shouldn't matter. This team should batter Villa.

Someone on Twitter said Marveaux late injury scratch. No idea who they are though. So presumably Jonas wasn't going to start.

You cheeky devil. Pards would be proud. Crickety Claire ‏@Claire_1502 Bath time then MATCH TIME! #HowayTheLads #HowayTheToon #nufc ⚽

I think we'll slaughter them as far as general play goes, but the scoreline will be closer than it should. 2-0 win with some nervy moments while it's 1-0.

Where did you get that from ? Probably not true but would be highly predictable. There's no fucking way that's the team.

I can't even imagine the state of this board if we lose.

He'll fall out of favor, kick up a fuss, move to us for a third of the price and then flourish. Easy.

Now Redknapp and Lambert have both made comments about what he cost. Did we break our wage limit for him? Don't remember seeing wages mentioned anywhere.

Someone on Twitter mentioned Villa's susceptibility to set-pieces as a possible reason for Taylor starting. Not a completely invalid point, but I want to see MYM.

I was too, but it's so underwhelming. Could have been written by anyone on here without any inside info. I appreciate that the local writers don't get much info. from inside the club, but he shouldn't make it sound like he has a riveting account of how it went down.

Just watched some videos of him. Still can't believe we got this guy. I cackled in excitement a couple times.

Cue Thauvin at the airport.

We don't know all the details, but it sounds like MA and/or DL deserve a lot of credit for the way this was handled.
