SEE WHAT AN OPPOSITION FAN HAS TO SAY PRIOR TO OUR UPCOMING MATCH  

Aston Villa v Leicester City | Sunday 8th December

This week we talk to Bob Witherstone a Villa Fan who married into a Leicester Family 
There’s no reason at all why  Leicester City cannot achieve runners up.
What are your hopes for your team for the coming season?
Obviously to survive in The Premier League and to do that in some sort of style.
How do you think Leicester City will do this season? 
  • There’s no reason at all why  Leicester City cannot achieve runners up.
Which Leicester City player/s do you think will cause you most problems and why?
  • All of them lol! Off top of my head I’d plump for Vardy, Maddison, Barnes and Albrighton. Sheer speed of those players and Albrighton’s past links of course.
Which player/s should Leicester City be wary of and why?
  • Jack Grealish, SJM and Conor for the set pieces, three players who can make things happen.
Which one player would you like to see leave your club - your teams donkey 
  • Certainly not a donkey but I was never happy with the signing of Luiz, I’d have persevered with Henri Lansbury.
How happy are you with your manager?
  • Fairly happy, see above point also a couple of his signings before the season haven’t been fruitful…..in my humble opinion.
If you could have one current Leicester City player in your starting 11 who would it be and why?
Can I have two lol? Vardy and Barnes for their speed of thought and deed!
Where do you think our two teams will finish in the league this season? 
  • You lot, runners up (hopefully), I have to say that as my wife’s family are all Leicstuh fans but I do honestly mean it lol! As for us, I’d bite your hand off if you offered me our current position.
​What were your thoughts on the last meeting between out two clubs?
  • Villa two up at The King Power and Carol all glum, I said there’s a long way to go yet and sadly I was correct. Oh I’ve missed the 1-1 draw in B6 that same relegation season, we got back to 1-1 and we should’ve had that penalty.
Who do you consider to be your biggest rivals in 1)The Premier League & 2) any League and why? 
  • The Premier League……..all of em!
  • Any League: Our dearest friends from The Temple of Doom in B9, (Birmingham City) I hope they never win another game ;-)  
Finally, a score prediction for this game. ​​
  • 5-0 to The Villa!! (tongue in cheek). We will have to be at our very best to get anything out of this game but if the players give 110% effort then hopefully we can get the right result (older Villa supporters will know who’s famous statement that was; seen in every home match programme of the day).
