I’m offshore for this working nights. I’ll be stuffed from our Christmas dinner at 01:00, in bed for 06:00. Alarm set for 14:30. Can’t wait! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Find it mad the only two times Villa have beaten us at SJP since 1989 was the Shearer red card game and the Bowyer/Dyer fight Haven't beaten us when we've had 11 men since 1989 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 What's our record with him? Always struck me as a shite ref and was embarrassingly shown to be when he has reffed in international tournaments/champions league games. Graham Scott also looks like someone who would struggle with any kind of technology let alone VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans were right on his case because of previous stuff, but he seemed fine on the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Looking at the table, and the fact we're finally in the best form of our season, we could really do with winning this, it's looking like a huge fixture, could be the turning point to stay in contention for European spots. I always find us and Villa similar, of late they've had more success, but there's not much between us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gola Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 I'm working long days today, xmas day and boxing day. Gutted, but it's double pay at least. Off for four days after that though, so a loss to Villa would really ruin my week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Hopefully we perform like we do against the top sides. Definitely a fixture we should be looking to get at least a point from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Villa have lost their last 4 away games in the league. Disappointing if we don’t pick up 3 points here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Leapfrogging city and villa if we win this. Then an easy 3 v Man U. Should set us up nicely for an unprecedented 19 game winning streak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Feel like this game could be anything. They play a high line, which suits us, but they're also good at moving it forward through the middle of the pitch, which is where we can get caught out. They've just beaten Man City and we've had three good performances, so both teams will be full of confidence. Will be interesting to see how our updated set-up performs against one of the better teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 (edited) Hoping for win against these as I really can't stand them after 2 relegation trips to Villa Park, never forget the first one where they give it big licks and the 2nd they were relegated and played Infront of crowd of 30k which they hate to admit. Was weird as never had anything against them prior but way them went then and singing 3-0 on your big day out a few years back when we got beat there was strange behaviour from their lot.

HayDen Traces Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 Tough one this. Both teams should be confident. I like their holding mf 2 in Onana and Kamara allowing Tielemans to pull strings further forward. Great test for our mf now they've clicked. Couldn't call it tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
