Who did?
At least this thread Will not contain any Fish puns.
Time to knock Villa off the perch.

I'm looking forward to it. Although it's sure to be a tench battle.
For heavens hake, that’s poor
I’m now really excited to see how ETH’s first real test against a top manager will pan out.
I really rate Potter, and these preseason games should help us prepare well for our season opener against his team.

Pre season has been great so far, hopefully we can avoid an embarasing slip up here.
That's what I'd go with, unless Martinez joins the squad, in place of Lindelof
I see what you did there.
Eeeeeeeiiiiiiyyyyyeeeeaah course
This. He is after all winner of the prestigious Fallon d'or.
I see him try very hard.
Stevie G will end our unbeaten run.
He had the slip and the five minutes. He deserves a trophy for his significant contributions. Give him the Australian Epoch Cup, sponsord by Fosters, and sponsored by Australian Tourism, and sponsored by Australian Iron Ore Consortium.
Be ready for some harsh tackles. Hate this guy so much. Such a punchable face he has - Mcginn.

Steven must be tripping over himself to face us
It Varane returns from injury and he plays LCB while Maguire plays LCB, that would further cement that the starting CBs are Maguire/Martinez
Play the reserves, can't afford any injuries to key players before the season starts.
Are people still rating Gerrard as this soon-to-be managerial maestro like when he first joined Villa? I have him as an outside bet to be one of the first managers sacked in the upcoming season.
Yeah I find it odd he’s being referred to as a ‘top manager’ in here.
He’s got potential, sure, but no more than Viera who were just played against.
The pressure will definitely be on him this season with how Villa spend. He is definitely more Lampard than Potter, I agree he will likely be sacked this season - just a shame it will likely mean he'll never get the Liverpool gig.
Ten Hag's first real test
Playing two CBs on the left side would be an unusual tactic, Erik is quite the innovator
That would be a shame. Is he dolphinitely suspended?
No one has called him a top manager here?
Perhaps he meant Potter
Crappie pun.
We'll smash them. We're the pre-season Brazil '70.
Ye, maybe there should be a dedicated Will Fish thread so people don't have to be Herring all these awful puns.
Hope we put 6 past them.
Here hoping we don't "slip up" on this one. Stevie is a tricky basterd
Never heard of this club.
I got one person to bite, I can die happy
He is a maestro, Liverpool should give him the gig and fast before their legend leaves for Madrid, Bayern or PSG.
Thats a good shout. He’s spent a lot of money there and odds are good that he’ll fall short of expectations
