Malcolm Dawson writes….Gus Poyet has been commenting on how ludicrous the holiday fixture list is with games coming thick and fast! He should try keeping a website up to date! Not much time to get your prediction in for the game at Villa Park. A loss to Hull after a win at Sid James was almost as inevitable as Boxing Day following Christmas Day. Will Gus’s men be able to put things right or are we due another disappointment in the West Midlands. This afternoon I went to Crook v Shildon. Nil – six at half time, the home side rallied in the second period and held the visitors to a mere five. Can’t see it being 0-11 at Villa Park but 0-1 would be nice.
Be the first, before kickoff, to post the correct score and, subject to M Salut’s final decision, you are the winner.

See if you can become the owner of a mug with this image. Your name is entered as the No 12 and you can try your luck whoever you support as the design will be modified according to allegiance.

Might be 2-2. Sunderland go 2 up but villa fight back
Villa 1 – 2 SAFC……but three points is really the prize
Obviously winning a game was to much for the players to handle and they crumbled under the expectation against Hull….. at home . Back to a nice safe 0-0 today , no excitement to worry about .
Drums roll for Drummer, our Villa Park winner. I’ll be in touch
Whoo Hoo , its being a long time trying !
3-0 to Villa. We’ll be lucky to get nil.
Villa 1 Sunderland 0 is my prediction but my heart thinks another draw.
1 nil to Sunderland, Wickham to score, if Poyet plays him.
2-0 to Villa. Can’t go on dreaming.
Back to a point per game. 1-1
