no, no, 3nil..
I'm hoping Skittles will play, in one of those silly plastic face masks. If he does, he'll look positively terrifying.
I have a feeling we'll do well against them tonight, I reckon 3-0.
Dont know why, cos Villa are usually well organised, but I just think we'll build on the last game & the home support, which always seems that little bit louder for evening games.

Either get yourself down to Delaney's in Wanchai - great food and all the EPL matches, or it will be on one of the HK English channels (forget the names) so just surf around until you find it. It should be on one of the mainland channels too (since nearly all games have been so far - there were 2 live last night followed by Inter vs Bari) if you can't find it on the English language ones.

cheers guys. delaney's sound fun

It's an excellent pub - try the chicken doughty house - brilliant. You will find all the contacts in the HK To Do magazines and listings, or in the Yellow Pages in your hotel room. Give them a call first to confirm.
Easy to get to and tons of other bars, girlie and otherwise, all around. Watch out in some of the discos there though - sometimes quite a few triad gang members around that you won't want to get involved with. Monday night will be very quiet though.

Reina
Magic - Carra - Zorba - Insua
Mascher - Lucas
Kuyt - Gerrard - Yossi
Torres
We'll win 2 or 3 nil. Gerrard, Yossi and maybe Torres with the goals.

Haha, "maybe Torres".
Yeah, I mean, he gets the odd goal now and then, y'know couple a season like
Yeah, I mean, he gets the odd goal now and then, y'know couple a season like
Playing wise I still think we have not adapted to Alonso's departure and have not looked settled or fluid yet, the poor fitness and form of Torres still bothers me, he seems to still be looking for his pace of old pre hamstring injuries. Midfield isn't anywhere near as good as it was with Alonso on form, Although I see why he needs to do it I much prefer Gerrard not to drop back and instead stay up along Torres throwing grenades..... centre backs injured and out of form...... All the things which appeared bad in the game against Spurs I think are actually bad. But it is far too early to expect the team to be in top gear yet anyway so and Spurs were pretty good and its usually a tough ground for us.
I expect Villa to offer far more ambition and threat than Stoke and maybe they are due to do us, O'Neill would like nothing more than getting their season started by turning us over. It will be a very very tough game tonight. I have no clue as to results....
IMO we are not quite right at the moment,even if the four goals against Stoke removed much of the gloom residual from an atrocious summer and crap performance against Spurs. If the two weeks of fitness training and the wake up call of defeat have brought about the right reaction from players then we have a good chance but how we start is key tonight, it is a distinct possibility we can lose, a draw is possibly the most likely result.
It feels like a massive game already so I'm hoping that the real mental toughess and desire and above all belief we showed last season will overcome our frailties and we can win tonight and get some momentum building.
The dissapointment of not buying in an attacker is not just that it still leaves us light up front, the most damaging thing is the sense that mentally it would have been a big boost to have a new star player. The players knew they were so close last season and to have bought in a decent attacker would have maybe just added another belief snowball to roll into a victory avalanche. We finished last season with a clear idea of what we needed to improve and a sense that if we did so we would definitely win the league. For us not to make those improvements due to poor finances means that we have literally wasted the confidence we fought hard to win last season by playing our guts out. To fuck around with the winning confidence we found by Selling Alonso only compounds the frustration.
It's OK in a way because if we do go on to win it, it will be a fucking nailbiting ride all the way, it will be a fucking sweet sweet sensation if we can win it this season because we will have had to play right to up to our very maximum to do so and we will have really deserved it should it happen.
I would say that this summer was an epic fail if it wasn't for Jonhsons magnificent goal against Stoke.
Arbeloa could never have done that in a million years, and the players know that as well as anyone, we have improved down the right flank at least, and improvement is improvement. We need to hope we can repeat last years fantastic efforts against the big boys and also win all our home games.....
So IMO tonight is massive, all of them will be all season.
Sorry this was rambling I just woke up ... need nicotine...

2-2
Wigan won 2-0. Scum beat wigan 5-0. Liverpool to win 7-0. Babel double Hat-trick and Riena in freak bouncing goal kick finish.
Seriously, its only one game, but they are a shambles without Barry. I'd go with a conservative 3-0, maybe 4-0.
