I think it will be a very comfortable win because villa arent a good team at all imo, they win games but i never see them play well. JT's comments about them getting tired in the 2nd half will make them very wary, i think 2-0 and comfortable although i really dont mind too much, it's the league i want so much.

We can relax a bit today on the big wembley pitch in the sun, take the pressure of the league away maybe. We've done well in the cup in recent years, just get that premiership.
