A Good Time To Be Playing Villa.

A Good Time To Be Playing Villa.
Any time between August and May........................

Confidence is high off the back of two good results, which is not neccessarily a good thing sometimes.
Some comment has been made about the similarity of the position Villa find themselves now after an unexpected managerial departure and that which Palace faced when Pulis buggered off.......s'not the same though, is it? We lost a genuinely gifted, hard grafting (even if disengaged emotionally) manager two days before the season opener at The Emirates, they lost a miserable git a couple of days before going to Turf Moor.
I somehow think Roys departure from Villa Park may be a positive factor in their season. It would be in mine.........
Good news for Palace regarding Dwight Gayle's injury which forced him off on Saturday, just a dead-leg after he deliberately rammed his thigh onto Williams' knee (that's what Gary Monk saw!). Swansea must have a better estimation of Gayle's potency than Warnock seems to.
Anyway, Villa seem to be there for the taking but this is football, so who knows?
I'd be surprised to lose this one, to be honest. Once we get through our now traditional dodgy opening 15-20mins, we should be running out winners by at least two goals.
Prediction: 3-1.....oh, hang on, they're not Scousers....2-0
