Well, your first game is always a big one. West Ham. I have to say, I'm nervous. I watched the game at Upton Park last season, when Villa lost 2-1 and I'm going to Villa Park tomorrow to watch it. West Ham have signed some half decent players by the looks of things as well, which is a surprise to me after Ilan and McCarthy last season. I saw Pablo Barrera, one of their new buys, in the world cup, looks like a threat if he can perform but even so, not exactly an inspired signing. Piquionne showed at Portsmouth that he can be a goal threat too but as long as we defend our corners well, we should be fine.
One disappointing World Cup over and I can't wait to get stuck into another Premier League Season and it looks like it could be a challenging one for Villa! After the Milner saga and O'Neill leaving only five days before the new Premier League Season, I'll be more than happy to hold on to our 6th place that seems to favour us for the past few years.
My prediction? Hard to say with it being the first game of the season, even harder since it's a new (albeit temporary) face in the dug-out, but I'm going to venture a guess at: Aston Villa 3 - 1 West Ham.
