    Where have you been for the last six months? If you're asking that question, either you've not been paying attention, or you must be an ostrich.

    A fit Welbeck would be fantastic news. Unfortunately fit Wellbecks are rarer than rocking horse poop.

    Yep. They'd be guessing whether he had finished puberty and whether he was old enough to buy beer yet.

    Would he have been able to walk off the way he did if it was a full tear, I wonder??

    That’s why don’t get the panic. Villa are crap! Now we are playing them when they don’t even have a recognized striker. They will basically be starting the same 11 we thrashed 3-0 with 10 men. The only difference is Mings and Reina will be in defence. If they play Drinkwater, they might as well throw in the towel.

    We come out of the blocks firing on all cylinders, get an early goal, their heads will drop and they have to chase the game.

    I’ve never been more convinced of an easy routine win.

    I don’t bet, if I did, I would.

    Also, living in Texas, they even know what an Aston Villa is.

    I did say look. Not are, but lots of seasons the play off winners drop straight back down with another of the promoted teams. But I get where you’re coming from.

    Mings is a massive difference to when we played them. They look a lot more solid since he returned (man city aside).

    If they knew, they'd probably hunt it.

    He would have been much more stiff legged in my opinion. Also he had slowed a bit and was not in the game in the same way he had been for a few minutes beforehand so I think he had an issue and was trying to play through it. I'm hoping after a scan he will be back available for the next league match which I think is Everton.

    I'm hoping this is the case. He didn't look in too much pain, and wasn't moving too badly. A brief rest may actually do him good, as he's played a lot recently and it seemed to me he mentally wasn't quite as sharp / confident as he had been playing a few weeks ago. Disclaimer: I may be reading too much into things!

    I have no idea why you’re doing this, it’s like you want us to lose

    I’m bottom of my prediction league this year partly because I make a point of predicting we will lose every single game regardless of the fixture

    Sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself for the team

    Arsenal? Surely he would aim higher than those mid table no hopers?

    "I know Watford won 3-0 when the two sides met at the end of December but the bounce the Hornets have enjoyed under new boss Nigel Pearson has got to end at some point.

    Villa are on a poor run but I still feel they are more likely to play well and get a positive result when they are in a game that really matters, like this one."

    From a supposed expert pundit, that is a horrendous prediction. Based on our run "has to come to an end sometime" and villa are more likely to "get a positive result in a game that really matters" like all their other games obviously meant nothing.

    He's always been a moronic fool but this has just promoted him to the king of morons!

    No he hasn't - he had us down to lose at Muff.

    I like it when we prove him wrong , loosing Sarr is a blow, but we have JP, Pussy and hopefully Wellbeck back.

    Got to be honest his prediction does feel a bit like , if I keep saying ‘X’ it’s bound to happen eventually.

    we are bound to loose a game soon, but let’s hope it’s not tomorrow :)

    So far this season he is +5 on Watford match predictions which means he has guessed us to win 5 more times than we have done. Normally he is about -5 or worse so between now and the end of season he has to get a lot of losses wrong so this will be one of those!

    Agreed. What a w*nker. Why do we not criticise him when he predicted us to win though?

    It's like there's an unconscious bias or something.

    I wouldn't criticise if there were genuinely good reasons for his prediction.

    His argument is basically Watford can't keep winning and villa can't keep losing so I'll predict a villa win. Nothing based on teams or form.

    Fair enough, apologies. No offence meant.

    Wouldn’t with loose and lose, of course.

    PS I fear we may well lose tomorrow...
