Available Tuesday evening.
-
Friedel, Walker, Dunne, Collins, Clark, Albrighton, Makoun, Petrov, Downing, Young, Bent
-
Marshall, Pires, Fonz, gabby, heskey, NRC, Cuellar is bench
-
decent side and strong bench - i have a feeling we give them a tough game.
-
Attack is the word!
NRC was superb Saturday, hope we don't miss his energy!
-
What a bench that is!
-
never seen so many stream links to a game as there are tonight but im going with veetle as its usually good quality.
http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4d454f2b2e75e
-
Good team, exactly what I would've gone for apart from Walker
-
Think NRC playing 90 on sat is much of the reason for him being benched tonight, the way GH works I can see him starting vs Fulham, rotation and freshness seems to be a real bug bear with GH in the middle of the park. Very interesting style, and something that seems totally alien after the past few years!
-
anyone know if we sold our allocation?
-
Strong Utd team, O'shea at right back is there weak link, Downing needs to run at him at every oportunity
-
Hmm, would have put Cuellar in for Walker. The young lad has a lot to learn defensively, Ferguson will make sure Nani is alert to any defensive lapses. Apart from that bring it f-ing on.
-
What's the United team?
-
Good team but I would have played Carlos @ right back, young Walker needs to up his defensive/positional play tonight
-
MAN UTD LINE-UP: Van der Saar; O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs; Rooney, Berbatov. Subs: Lindergaard, Smalling, Fabio, Anderson, Scholes, Owen, Hernandez
-
What's the United team?
Van der sar, Oshea, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov
-
Come on you Villa boys, Gabby struggling I take it. Strong Manure side as well.
-
Just noticed no Bannan in the squad. Unlucky not to be involved, expect he will be against Fulham. So on top of that we have Bradley, Delph, Luke Young to come in, plus Warnock and Beye *spit*. Anyone I'm missing?
-
What's the United team?
Van der sar, Oshea, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov
Don't forget Chris Foy.
-
Very strong Utd line up, we need to be on our toes here or we could get steamrollered
-
As good as our side looks, and it does look the best it has for a long, long time, that United team looks a scary sight!
Imagine our side with Milner still though, we would have a really strong side and squad now. Ah well, have to buy him back in the summer!
-
I assume he's gone with Walker so we can attack them. No point sitting back. We may as well just go for it.
edit: plus Gabby had a slight injury from the weekend. if he can play, then a great asset to have late on when legs are tired.
-
We're gonna piss this tonight. Their keeper is past it and shit. Their defence is shit, midfield is shit and lightweight, Giggs is shit and past it, Rooney is shit and nothing these days, Berbatov will have an invisible game, because he's shit. And their manager is shit. So are their fans. Who are shit. Did I mention they are a shit eating shithouse of a shitty club?
Come on you Villa boys!!! 4-0 win all the way.
-
That is possibly the strongest Man United starting 11 I have ever seen. Bollocks.
EDIT: And that's the strongest Villa bench in a long time.
-
Pretty attacking Villa side, and three strikers on the bench as well.
-
That is possibly the strongest Man United starting 11 I have ever seen. Bollocks.
Are you serious? O'Shea, Carrick, Fletcher?
-
I can see us getting spanked tonight with that team selection. Full backs will get torn apart and the midfield looks too weak. Tonight was Downing or Albrighton, not both.
-
That is possibly the strongest Man United starting 11 I have ever seen. Bollocks.
Are you serious? O'Shea, Carrick, Fletcher?
Fletcher is class. It's only my opinion.
-
That is possibly the strongest Man United starting 11 I have ever seen. Bollocks.
EDIT: And that's the strongest Villa bench in a long time.
Peter Schmeichel (c)
Gary Neville
Ronny Johnsen
Jaap Stam
Denis Irwin
Ryan Giggs
David Beckham
Nicky Butt
Jesper Blomqvist
Dwight Yorke
Andy Cole
may be slightly stronger....
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
-
Very strong Utd line up, we need to be on our toes here or we could get steamrollered
Despite the fact that many on here wouldn't have a quarter of their team playing for us!
Not that I disagree with you mind you...
-
I'm just hoping we give them a tough workout. I would take a point but you never know what might happen.
Come on Villa.
-

Maybe but they are top of the league for a reason. They didn't go the season unbeaten though and this lot may well do. I think their 1st 11 tonight is a very, very good one.
Oh and Jesper Blomqvist...???
-
I agree, he is good. In fact, all of them are good. However, if you look at the treble winners, this side is not nearly as good, in my opinion. I think the league has got a lot weaker which probably makes Man United's unbeaten start to the season look more impressive than it is.
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
Didn't he score at WBA a few days ago
-
I was looking for that team Mal, but didn't look hard enough. Put Roy Keane in instead of Jesper though!
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
Didn't he score at WBA a few days ago
He did, so thankfully that monkey is off his back, otherwise you just know it would be against us.
Having said that, there is probably some home hoodoo he will kiss goodby to tonight.
-
watching Southgate and Townsend on PLTV??? predictably, 30 seconds about Villa, all Man Utd otherwise.
-
Hmmm - that Veetle link is something American and business-like !
-
Having said that, there is probably some home hoodoo he will kiss goodby to tonight.
When was the last time he broke a metatarsal?
-
Strong united side; hopefully Giggs will be showing his age. I am not convinced about Fletcher and Carrick in the middle.
We need to try to expose O'Shay.
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
Thanks for tempting fate.
-
Has anyone got a link to this game please.
-
veetle wont start till just before game
-
http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4d454f2b2e75e
-
Cheers Eastie
-
On the brightside Machaeda or whatever he's called isn't playing.
-
Sunderland scored v Chelsea.
-
At least that Italian git Macheda who seems to love scoring against us is not in their squad tonight (has he gone out on loan?)
-
It is a 7.45 isn't it ? * confused *
-
Sunderland scored v Chelsea.
Bardsley as well...again
-
8pm KO
-
Big Brad has a really strange accent.
-
Oh cheers Legion. Numpty !
-

He did, so thankfully that monkey is off his back, otherwise you just know it would be against us.
Having said that, there is probably some home hoodoo he will kiss goodby to tonight.
His first ever own goal to give Villa the win??
-
It is on ESPN or something then ?
-
I know we all hate this, but anyone got a decent stream?
-
live stream http://sportstream24.com/england_football/watch_online_6
-
We have to win tonight to stop them equalling their club record for longest sequence of league games without a defeat.
-
Strong Manure side. I'd take a point now tbh
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
Thanks for tempting fate.
If he gets a hat-trick we know who to blame!
-
Wee-man scores for Watford!! Good lad!
-
Friedel, Walker, Dunne, Collins, Clark, Albrighton, Makoun, Petrov, Downing, Young, Bent
Strong side, but would leave out a wide player to bring Bazza in.
Come on me babbies!!!
-
Decent non-Veetle link anyone?
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
Thanks for tempting fate.
If he gets a hat-trick we know who to blame!
What if he gets all four?
-
Decent non-Veetle link anyone?
Take your pick
Myp2p - clicky (http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=103722&part=sports)
-
FFS. Rooney.
-
http://eplsite.com/stream5.html
-
great start!!!
long ball bastards
-
fuckin hell
-
oh poo
-
Struggling for a bit of form? Meet Aston Villa. Second ball over the top.
-
Bollox.
It wasn't me.
-
Ah, fuck.
-
Fuck this.
-
Fucking hell that is fucking dire defending.
-
oh dear
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
*Knocks heads gently against nearest hard surface*
-
Ah fuck!
-
I blame that Kelly fella.
-
And people said we didn't need a new central defender?
-
******
-
Goodnight one and all.
-
I'd mentally written this one off anyway, at least we know what we have to do next 90 minutes now. No point in sitting back now.
-
Route One!
Ah bollocks, it was a write off game anyway, just keep it reasonable eh lads!
-
Why oh why, oh fucking why, did I wind up the Utd lad at work, all fucking day, about Wayne fucking Rooney not being able to hit a barn door! WHY??? WHY THE FUCK DID I DO IT?
I'm gonna get a right royal ear bashing tomorrow. Fucking hell!
-
Good fucking start.
Made worse by hearing Trevor Francis' nasalness.
-
Keep the faith. These are shite.
-
That's that then. Just hope we keep it to below a cricket score.
The annual ceremonial ritual of handing them 3 points.
-
So fuckin inevitable. Shit. Fuckin shit.
-
I blame that Kelly fella.
I blame Dunne.
-
Veetle is pants tonight
-
Yeah right. Dunne has had 3 decent games on top of a lot of shit ones. Has a habit of invariably costing us a goal when he fucks up too. Time for cuellar to have a run at cb.
-
Evening all......what have I missed? I take it I need to ask that Kelly fella?
-
Anyone scored past utd like that it'd be all about long ball, they get it bet it gets put down as quick thinking by them
-
And people said we didn't need a new central defender?
Theres a good one on the bench.
-
I blame that Supertom fella as much as I blame that Kelly fella.
-
Piss. We're knocking it about well though.
-
Well that's this game over with already.
-
Makoun is looking busy in midfield.
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
You need to take responsibility for that :(
-
FFS defence is still basically shit. Get the fuick into him!
-
Why can't Dunne attempt a pass out of defence instead of hoofing it aimlessly every time he gets it?
-
http://www.firstrow.net/watch/48221/1/watch-manchester-united-vs-aston-villa.html
-
Evening all......what have I missed? I take it I need to ask that Kelly fella?
We're 2 up. NRC and Gabby.
-
Makoun looking good so far.
-
HOW THE FUCK WAS THAT NOT A FREE KICK YOU ******?!
-
Makoun looking good.
-
Sounds daft but I think we are playing quite well which is encouraging given that early goal.
-
I blame that Supertom fella as much as I blame that Kelly fella.
I'd blame me too. I wound him up about Berbatov last month, after he'd gone a run without scoring. Then the fucker twotted 5 past wigan that day!
-
The game is surely lost but let's make sure we don't damage our unbelievably piss poor goal difference too badly. Less than 4 please!!
-
Petrov is a yard off the pace. As usual.
-
Man Utd look so dangerous going forward.
-
Sounds daft but I think we are playing quite well which is encouraging given that early goal.
Really? giving it away like a cheap whore IMO
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
Thanks for tempting fate.
Bastard
-
Come on Villa.
-
Why stop the game!!!!??? Fuck.
And Petrov! Glue factory time!
-
Baggies 1 up , Chelsea now 2 - 1 up
-
This hasn't been too bad so far (other than the obvious)
http://cjsports.altervista.org/index.html
-
that was half a chance for Bent, should have done better.
-
you can tell already the ref is a wanker....he was quick to stop the game then because poor ickle man u player fell over.
-
Defensively, we look appalling. But passing it well in possession, imo.
-
Why stop the game!!!!??? Fuck.
And Petrov! Glue factory time!
The only person getting boiled up for glue is you you Jonah sonofabitch! ;)
-
never seen so many stream links to a game as there are tonight but im going with veetle as its usually good quality.
http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4d454f2b2e75e
This link has killed nearly everything on my PC. Unless you really know what you're doing, be cautious!
-
Every time they hoof it up the pitch I'm shitting bricks which is a bad sign.
-
Tippy-tappy.
-
Just sussed it - they have got 14 players on the pitch.
-
Petrov is a yard off the pace. As usual.
I think you're being very generous.
-
At least we are trying to keep possession and pass it around, rather than hoof it MON style.
-
First sniff for Benty. Shanked it, but you can see his movement. If he gets another couple of them, he'll tuck one away...I hope.
-
Salifou is having a decent game so far. ;)
-
What was that Ash?
-
Sunderland 2 Chelsea 2, Arsenal 0 Everton 1
-
Makoun is linking up well with Ash.
-
We're playing really well.
-
We're playing some nice stuff here.
Gifting Man United a goal inside a minute at Old Trafford isn't perhaps the best start, though
-
We are coming back into this!
-
We are actually looking quite good, until its gets to Ash, then we are shit.
This makoun lad looks pretty darn good.
-
We're a-tipping and a-tapping, and we're causing them zero problems. They're one nil up and comfortable.
-
This hasn't been too bad so far (other than the obvious)
http://cjsports.altervista.org/index.html
Kiss of death. Can't find a decent stream anywhere. Off to Radio WM :(
-
Every time I hear "Makoun" I can't help thinking, "Macaroon!"
Am I just hungry?
-
Well done Brad, well done.
-
I still think there is something in this.
-
Grow some balls Villa, ffs.
-
Petrov looking about 50 years old.
-
Downing looking a threat and I don't say that often.
-
Listening to Radio 5, Makoum sounds likes he's playing well.
-
with the run of games we have coming up, the most important thing tonight is to have a performance that doesn't knock the confidence so we can keep the momentum going. No injuries too!
-
This hasn't been too bad so far (other than the obvious)
http://cjsports.altervista.org/index.html
Kiss of death. Can't find a decent stream anywhere. Off to Radio WM :(
I'm using this and its fine so far apart for watching us fucking up yet again
-
I hate watching Dunne play. Another fucking useless hoof out of defence that lost possession. Fat useless bastard.
-
Makoun passes it to teammates quickly! Amazing!
Stewart Downing, sorry but he's just a bit shit. 12 million, fucking mental.
-
We'd be far better off switching Downing with Young. Downing has more vision and a better eye for a pass, and Young's got the pace to tear O Shea a new one. Sort it Gerard! Stay in my good books.
-
come on villa,lets get back into this game
-
We need to get a pie soon. Goal, I mean. Goal.
-
good call ref, I can not help think he would have given a pen if it
wasn't 1-0.
Edit - it was a pen!
-
How on earth wasn't that a penalty? Dunne clobbered him.
-
Fuck off you Ronaldo wannabe wanker! Prick.
-
How was that not a pen to them? No attempt to play the ball whatsoever from Dunne.
-
That was a penalty. Bit of a comedy fall but we got lucky.
-
That Nani is a righ malingaring twat.
-
This isn't going very well, is it?
-
Losing 0-1 is at least more relaxing than going ahead and then trying to hang on for 89 minutes
Ermmm...
-
Corner - Come on Villa!!!
-
Veetle gone
-
Anyone having problems with streams should pay a couple of quid for villa streams, it's well worth it.
-
Dunne is so laboured.
-
Given all the pens we didn't get against Utd, notably in the cup last year, I think we're due a couple of let offs!
-
Wigan level 1-1
-
brilliant tackle by.... Petrov?
-
Great save Brad.
-
Dunne is having a stinker.
Good save Brad.
-
Dunne; Blimey, he alone will give me a heart attack.
-
Good save by Friedel. The Pre-Christmas Dunne is back I see.
-
Jaysus Dunney what are you playing at.
-
Dunne, you hopeless fat twat
-
Dunne is shit!
-
Jesus christ, Richard.
-
Dunne's having another stinker.
-
Amazing how Nani shakes these 'injuries' off.
-
Why is Dunne in the team at all. He's been fat and hopeless all fucking season.
-
Trying this - ok at mo
http://www.directon.tv/channels/3270/
-
Dunney needs shooting!! Do you think his upturn in jan was to get a move? Because now he looks as shite as aug-dec again. Fuck him off!
-
Dunne doing his best to makesure the annual OT beating returns this year!
-
Is Cuellar on the bench? If so, get him on in place of Dunne.
-
Justhavea feeling that we'll come back into this. So, we'll lose 5-0 now. Worried by all this anti-Dunne stuff he must be having an absolute shocker. Have they targeted him?
-
Fucking hell Dunne playing like the fat bastard he is.
-
Excellent passing there.
To describe Makoun as a bit of an upgrade on NRC is an understatement on the evidence so far.
-
Bents team play has improved over the last year imo.
-
Fuck off Trev
-
Use of the ball in midfield 1000 times better.
-
TBF he had some good games recently but I now wonder if that was him playing for his place with a worry that we were linked to a CB in the window. Now he knows no one is coming in he has decided to revert to type. Or he is pining for Ireland.
-
I wasn't aware they did Mac.
-
This display is very heartening. We may be losing, but I reckon we are playing the best football of the season.
If we can take this forward, we are going to take teams apart, and Makoun looks to me like he will be the dogs bollox.
-
Excellent passing there.
To describe Makoun as a bit of an upgrade on NRC is an understatement on the evidence so far.
He hasn't attempted a single tackle yet that I can recall. He's a neat and tidy passer. A defensive midfielder he isn't.
-
Makoun does look good but I hope there is a little more to his game. So far he has been finding space, getting the ball and passing it 10 yards after 1 or 2 touches. Can he hold the ball, drive forward and play a defence splitting pass?
-
This display is very heartening. We may be losing, but I reckon we are playing the best football of the season.
If we can take this forward, we are going to take teams apart, and Makoun looks to me like he will be the dogs bollox.
How many shots have we had? We're not exactly hurting them much are we?
-
The old "sell to buy" myth being trotted out yet again. Do they all have a fucking script to follow?
-
We have actually played some good stuff, I really like the look of Makoun in midfield.
-

small steps
-
No point in Albrighton being on the pitch, we need NRC to take the ball forward in the middle, not Ash ffs
-
Makoun does look good but I hope there is a little more to his game. So far he has been finding space, getting the ball and passing it 10 yards after 1 or 2 touches. Can he hold the ball, drive forward and play a defence splitting pass?
Give him a chance he's played barely 90 minutes for us yet.
-

I agree, but a small shot might be nice too.

Pass it around and gift it back to them. I agree, this isn't heartening. If this carries on well be a few down by the end.
-
Brad!
-
I wasn't aware they did Mac.
They do. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.
-
Giggs should have scored then. Makoun looks class.
-
There are few better illustrations of the sterile, passionless, Skyed to death nature of English football than the spectacle of 75,000 people inside Old Trafford with Man United pulling away at the top of the league, creating all the noise and atmosphere of Tamworth Reserves v Sutton Paper Boys XI on a Sunday morning.
-
Excellent passing there.
To describe Makoun as a bit of an upgrade on NRC is an understatement on the evidence so far.
An upgrade on Petrov. Get NRC on and we might stand a chance.
He hasn't attempted a single tackle yet that I can recall. He's a neat and tidy passer. A defensive midfielder he isn't.
-
Evening all......what have I missed? I take it I need to ask that Kelly fella?
We're 2 up. NRC and Gabby.
Bloody hell, I have just been upstairs sending the kids back to bed for last 15 minutes and now we have there's scrubbed off and our subs score 2......Get in!
-
For all our possession we need to take a lesson from Man Utd. Almost every time they go forward they create a goal scoring opportunity, we've created pretty much nothing.
-
Makoun does look good but I hope there is a little more to his game. So far he has been finding space, getting the ball and passing it 10 yards after 1 or 2 touches. Can he hold the ball, drive forward and play a defence splitting pass?
Exactly what Sir Graham is saying on R5...
-
Bannan for Stan asap
-
Look for Shanghai GSports on Sopcast - 18135
-
Petrov really needs to do something.
-
Almost.
-
Excellent passing there.

Quite. I think I saw Berbatov muscle him off the ball. But that aside, he wants the ball, is not afraid of it and has an eye for a pass. Hopefully he'll develop a more physical side to him, just to improve things, but then with a really good enforcer alongside (Bradley?) it may not be needed
-
Bannan for Stan asap
Bannan isn't in the squad is he?
-
Bannan for Stan asap
He's not on the bench.
-
we are playing some really good stuff here, against a very strong utd side, lots of possession and movement, really encouraged we could get something out of the game
-
Fucking hell! Missed the first five minutes as I was buying a camera online (wink at Risso/Leeg) there.
That ****** Shrek couldn't score at the WI Senior Disco, yet he nets against us. ******!
-
Coker and Bannan on for Stan and Albrighton, switch to 4-3-3. Do it Ged!
Edit! Leave Albrighton on because Bannan aint on the bench! Plum! Or...Bobby?
-
Fletcher off and Anderson on...
-
The game is passing Petrov by..
-
Bannan for Stan asap
He's not on the bench.
Shit - why?
-
Why cant anyone have a fucking go when in front of goal instead of passing it 2 yards and getting tackled?
-
This Ashley Young playing behind the striker just isn't working. In fact, it hasn't worked all season. Why can't Houllier just play 4-4-2 with Bent and Agbonlahor up front?
-
Bannan for Stan asap
I agree Barry has had good performance after good performance. He's like a spark plug in the middle, hustling and fighting for every ball. Pair him with Makoun and we've got a solid creative middle.
NRC can go now, and keep Stan on as a backup..
Cueller in the middle with Collins is a better pairing. Dunne is looking more and more over the hill..
-
Man U always look dangerous when coming forward. Young in the middle doesn't work. Do we persist with it to try and keep him happy in the hope he will stay come the end of the season?
-
Bannan is not in the squad tonight.
-
Makoun does look good but I hope there is a little more to his game. So far he has been finding space, getting the ball and passing it 10 yards after 1 or 2 touches. Can he hold the ball, drive forward and play a defence splitting pass?
Exactly what Sir Graham is saying on R5...
I am sure there is more to his game, maybe that is his instructions... make space get the ball, give it to Ash / Marc and Downing to create.
-
Coker and Bannan on for Stan and Albrighton, switch to 4-3-3. Do it Ged!
Earth to Tom, Earth to Tom..........Bazza isnt on the bench
-
Dunne, AKA Lunk, hoofs it away again under no real pressure.
-
We need to start taking them on a little, they stand in front of us so we pass the ball backwards.
-
We broke at speed then and they still had 3 defenders in the box???
-
Is Petrov actually on the pitch? Genuinely not heard him mentioned
-
They look like scoring every time.. Were doing nothing with the ball they look to comfortable
-
Makoun looks really assured in possession, we need to get someone next to him.
-
I really like the energy Makoun brings to our passing game. He is constantly making himself playable
e: pretty much same can be said for Walker. Definitely an upgrade over Cuellar and Young going forward
-
I like Walker. Okay, defensively suspect, but the lad can bomb it down the right. He's defended reasonably well today too
-
Bannan for Stan asap
I agree Barry has had good performance after good performance. He's like a spark plug in the middle, hustling and fighting for every ball. Pair him with Makoun and we've got a solid creative middle.

Yep

Unfortunately so.

He keeps the ball moving and rarely wastes possession
-
Anyone having problems with streams should pay a couple of quid for villa streams, it's well worth it.
Listen to the Bill. No buffering, watching Villastreams on laptop at fullscreen in HD. You riff-raff ought to invest and stop whingeing about crappy streams.
-
So, we are playing nice football and getting mullered. Super.
-
54% possession to Villa according to BBC
-
Is Petrov actually on the pitch? Genuinely not heard him mentioned
Makoun should play alongside NRC in a game like us. We've hardly put a tackle in in the middle of a park. lightweight.
-
This Ashley Young playing behind the striker just isn't working. In fact, it hasn't worked all season. Why can't Houllier just play 4-4-2 with Bent and Agbonlahor up front?
Agreed.
-
Save Brad, completely undone there.
-
Is Petrov actually on the pitch? Genuinely not heard him mentioned
And this is before he starts blowing
-
I'm not watching but I reckon we should get Bannan on.
-
I think I must be watching MUTV such is the biased drivel being spouted.
-
Our style of play is improving we are trying to pass it around more, with a lack of cutting edge granted but you can see the fruits of what Gerard is trying to do.
We will more than likely lose today but I can see green shoots of something more exciting to watch.
-
I'm not watching but I reckon we should get Bannan on.
I'd go with Gareth Barry in case we get a penalty.
-
I'm not watching but I reckon we should get Bannan on.
Agreed, Bannan needs to be brought on now.
-
We're being humoured here. We're nowhere near causing them a problem.
-
This Ashley Young playing behind the striker just isn't working. In fact, it hasn't worked all season. Why can't Houllier just play 4-4-2 with Bent and Agbonlahor up front?
Agreed.
Yes again.
-
I'm not watching but I reckon we should get Bannan on.
Agreed, Bannan needs to be brought on now.
Yes. Bring him in from the bus and give him a jersey
-
Bannan warming up.
-
54% possession to Villa according to BBC
Pity 0% of the goals scored
-
Anyone having problems with streams should pay a couple of quid for villa streams, it's well worth it.
Listen to the Bill. No buffering, watching Villastreams on laptop at fullscreen in HD. You riff-raff ought to invest and stop whingeing about crappy streams.
I refer the honourable gentleman to Mac's previous post.
-
Christ you could hear Gary Mac screaming at Makoun and Petrov there.
What an atmosphere. Electric.
It's a good job Les Sealey (RIP) doesn't play for Man United these days. That'd be embarassing
-
Jesus Petrov is pants
-
This is rubbish. We've looked about as dangerous as the Swiss Navy.
-
Why is Bannan taking the penalty?
-
Walker a bit suspect there against Berbatov.
-
This Ashley Young playing behind the striker just isn't working. In fact, it hasn't worked all season. Why can't Houllier just play 4-4-2 with Bent and Agbonlahor up front?
Agreed.
I'm starting to think that its part of him stipulating where he will play if we want to keep him. But, if he wants to play in the hole he can sod off because he is rubbish there.
-
Why isn't Bannan being brought on?
-
I'm not watching but I reckon we should get Bannan on.
Agreed, Bannan needs to be brought on now.
He's not on the f**king bench. Okay?
-
From what I've seen they are just sitting back and trying to unpick us on the counter. We have had loads of possession but don't really look as though they believe they can get anything here. Need to just go for it like Blackpool did last week.
-
Where'd Berba find that pace???
-
Bannan!!! Get in!!!
No, offside.
-
Albrighton's having a bit of a mare tonight, it has to be said
-
Why isn't Bannan being brought on?
My thoughts entirely. The game is crying out for Wee Barry to come on right this second. We demand the introduction of Bannan!
Who do we want?
We want Bannan!
When do we want him?
Now!
-
Petrov is completely anonymous, take him off.
-
This thread is going to get very surreal.
-
54% possession to Villa according to BBC
Pity 0% of the goals scored
Man United have only conceded 7 goals at home this season, so we're in plentiful company there.
The response to going down after less than a minute has been heartening, we've passed the ball around very nicely for long spells, and had most of the possession.
Man United are a much better side than us. In fact, they're a much better side than the rest of the league, too, so we were always going to be well up against it here, but if we're going to lose, I'd rather we did it having not lost our bottle, gone to pieces and let that early goal get to us.
All the signs are that that will not be the case.
-
AY and MA and SD on the pitch at the same time doesnt work.
-
Why isn't Bannan being brought on?
Because he isnt @ Old Trafford.........................
-
Time for a few biscuits at half time chaps.
-
Why isn't Bannan being brought on?
Because he isnt @ Old Trafford.........................
Lies.
-
Bannan!!! Get in!!!
No, offside.
What from a penalty?!!!?
Wigan 2-1 up by the way...
-
Albrighton on the right or not on the pitch please.
-
Walker a bit suspect there against Berbatov.
has issues against blues and Blackburn too
-
Tippy tappy, no danger, load of rubbish.
-
Is Petrov actually on the pitch? Genuinely not heard him mentioned
Makoun should play alongside NRC in a game like us. We've hardly put a tackle in in the middle of a park. lightweight.
To be fair, it's not been that sort of game. We've had more possession than them, and they've not passed it round us in the middle which would need someone running round sticking their foot in.
We're actually knocking it around quite well, though I suspect that's only because ManUre want us to. The early goal means they've sat back a bit more than I thought they would.
-
I'm not watching but I reckon we should get Bannan on.
Agreed, Bannan needs to be brought on now.
He's not on the f**king bench. Okay?
Great! When did they bring him on?
-
Is that Elvis in the crowd?
-
Ugh. Rooney. 2-0.
-
Fucking bollocks.
-
Bollox.
-
ah fuck
-
Bugger, Bannan own goal
2-0
-
Oh fuck off.
-
Wigan winning against the baggies.
-
Pissflaps
-
Bring Bannan on then?
-
Shit. Game over
-
WHAT THE FUCK WAS BANNAN DOING THERE?
-
******
-
MARK KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Bannan should have a got a hand to that.
-
Shit defending from Bannan then.
-
For as much as the midfield has held the ball well. Defensively we look so nervous and we offer no threat in the final third.
-
I blame that Supertom fella and that Kelly fella again.
-
Oh FFS. I thought it was HT.
-
I blame that Kelly fellow ... again.
-
2-0 good timing. Well we played alright apart from first and last minute.
-
Game over
-
Right, off for a meat and potato Bannan and a pint of Bannan to wash it down.
-
Typical, Bannan only added 1 minute on. He'll give 7 minutes if we are at 2-2 on 89 minutes.
-
asleep again
-
Fucking typical. The ugly bastard hasn't scored since Adam was a fucking lad, and he gets two against Villa. Bollocks.
-
That was a pretty good cross to be honest, game over and good night. If United dont win the league this season I will be shocked they are a good side.
-
2-0 good timing. Well we played alright apart from first and last minute.
quite
-
Another Rooney goal. Assist from Mark Kelly.
Poor defending by Collins.
No, very poor defending by Collins. What does Cuellar have to do? Can see two new centre backs in the summer.
-
Now that is game over. Our own fault, we've caused them absolutely zero problems and they havn't needed to break sweat. It's been like swatting a fly for them.
-
Whatever satellite system this bloke on VillaStreams has got, I want it.
He seems to have every league match to choose from. I'd never leave the house.
-
How long is it since Rooney scored?
Lifetime ban!
-
Get petrov off he is completely pointless. Makoun can pass the ball around, we need Reo on.
-
How the do I turn the warning off? Its driving me made having to submit a message 5+ times!!!
-
I just don't get why we don't believe in ourselves more. Why other teams can go there and put up a fight. Is it the manager, the players, the mentality at the club. We go to Man U (and last year aside) we just don't have enough belief to take the game to them. We've got enough talent.
-
For fuck's sake, we can still get back into this...
GET BANNAN ON NOW!!!
-
Tippy tappy, no danger, load of rubbish.
We pass it nicely now though!
-
damn it just refreshed this and saw 2 nil, my stream seems to be running a couple of minutes behind
-
Awful scoreline and shit match-thread. Think I'll put the dinner on.
-
Collins suckered.
-
man u are having one of those jammy years. We didnt deserve that, bad marking though by Dunne and Collins
-
Heskey for Downing!
Not worth risking Gabby!
Anyone else for Petrov!
-
Now that is game over. Our own fault, we've caused them absolutely zero problems and they havn't needed to break sweat. It's been like swatting a fly for them.
Yet some would have you believe we are playing like arsenal
-
useless streams all night missed just about everything so far so good
-
I think Bannan is not on the bench.................
-
Get petrov off he is completely pointless. Makoun can pass the ball around, we need Reo on.
Absolutely.
-
For fuck's sake, we can still get back into this...
GET BANNAN ON NOW!!!
He can't. Bannan's round at my house, rewiring the conservatory.
-
Get Downing and Albrigton on their correct sides or don't have either on. Petrov off.
-
I'm confused BANNAN isn't on the bench!
-
Right, off for a snack. Might have a bannanana.
-
We're still suspect at the back and have been afforded a bit of a luxury in the games we've played recently. Blackburn as shite as they were should've scored a few. Wigan had plenty of opportunities.
Sickeningly predictable that super wayne gets back to world class form tonight. Yeah, just ace.
-
I'd be amazed if we didn't see Bannan on for Petrov at half time.
-
2-3, we're gonna win 2-3.
-
game over! concede in 1st and 45th minute,pritty poor really
-
Frustrating; general play wise, the best showing at Old Trafford for some time. Dunne and Collins were very rash and shaky though - thus we are two down. Its the same sloppiness that lost us game after game in the first half of the season.
The positive is that Makoun is transforming the way we use the ball in midfield. Precise, quick passing. Its good.
-
BUY SOME FUCKIN DEFENDERS HOULLIER!!!!
Sorry but whilst we have been quite positive in the transfer window, why, WHY have we left the awful defence barely untouched. We have conceded more goals than almost any other team this season and yet GH didn't bring in a centre back. Frustrated isn't the word. Our defence is shit.
-
How the do I turn the warning off? Its driving me made having to submit a message 5+ times!!!
Go to your profile settings.
-
We've played pretty well, they've played better.
Albrighton looks out of sorts.
-
I'd be amazed if we didn't see Bannan on for Petrov at half time.
I'd be more amazed if we did, as he's not on the bench.
-
Arse.
But as I'd written the game off anyway, no great dramas.
-
I'd be amazed if we didn't see Bannan on for Petrov at half time.

Whoosh!

I preferred our showing last time we played there.

Really?
-
We've played pretty well, they've played better.
Albrighton looks out of sorts.
That about sums it up.
I don't really blame Collins for the second. He has been pretty tight other than that, it was a brilliant cross.
-
Not sure how you can blame Collins for the second. The cross was superb. Clark's slip gave him a bit of time and his cross made the goal. Awful by Dunne for the first.
Think all our attacking players have been dire. Bent up front has been shocking. Young lost in the hole. Both widemen dire and not supporting their full backs defensively either.
Only positive is Makoun who has been decent.
Id bring Albrighton and Petrov off for Reo Coker and Gabby at the break.
-
I say we bring in Gabby, but ...
How long is it since Gabby scored?
-
For fuck's sake, we can still get back into this...
GET BANNAN ON NOW!!!
He can't. Bannan's round at my house, rewiring the conservatory.
Was Nicola Keye busy this evening?
-
Downing - has all the same drawbacks that George Boateng had with none of the advantages. Please remove, now. Replace with Delfouneso, Return the poser to left wing and MA to the right win 3-2. It's easy this football management lark.
-

Makoun is the only positive so far. The rest struggle to control the ball at times. All their players have an amazing first touch which I'd expext anyone being paid £20000+ to be able to do as standard.
-
I'd be amazed if we didn't see Bannan on for Petrov at half time.

We have two very good CB: Clark and Cuellar. We just don't play them as CB together v often.
-
useless streams all night missed just about everything so far so good
This (http://www.firstrow.net/watch/48221/1/watch-manchester-united-vs-aston-villa.html) one is excellent
-
Arse.
But as I'd written the game off anyway, no great dramas.
Fair enough Dave but Bannan's fucing marking for the second goal was a fucking disgrace. i'd take him off and bring him on at half-time. By the way, any idea why bannan's noit starting for Chelsea tonight? Apparently Bannnan won't be playing for Liverpool tomorrow either. Very strange.
-
I say we bring in Gabby, but ...

I see what you are trying to do there, but it will never work.
Never.
Not a fucking chance...

he didnt need to buy a central defender, he needed to buy a left back so clark could move into the middle, and play cuellar next to him!!!!
Sorted
-
Just get Petrov off. As much as I like him, he's not half the player he used to be. When Berbatov nearly scored before half time, Petrov was fucking walking back by the bloody half way line.
-
I say we bring in Gabby, but ...

A week ago v Wigan
-
Trust Man United to burst our January optimistic bubble, the soulless bar stewards, oh and what are there fans all about, after the 2nd goal polite applause no passion for a team romping away with the league, prawn sandwich brigade out in force!

You're not helping here! ;)
-
We are definitely missing a lathe operator.
-
Think Albrighton should come off, with Young reverting back on the wing - with Heskey upfront to give us a bit more ooomph and hold the bleedin ball up on the edge of the area. One thing is for sure - Houllier will make some changes unlike MON would have just left it until were are 3 down with 3 minutes to play.
Lets get thru the next 45 and pull a couple back - just like they did at VP.
-

He has for a long time in my opinion.
Agreed we've played well, without really showing our teeth.
-
Urgh, conceding in the 1st minute and conceding just before half time. Typical and very silly. I thought we stopped conceding goals at silly times.
How have we played? Unable to watch
-
Aldershot v Barnet abandoned at half-time due to fog. There's still hope!
-
Houllier out!
-
Petrov & Dunne have both been poor
-
sopcast channel 73169, Danish but whatever. I know we are losing but I thought we've played some good stuff. Just need to tighten up at the back.

As far as I could tell (I was banging a proper 8/10 and only caught the odd glance) we're actually playing very well indeed.
-
We're playing well, excellent possesion and breaking well. Unfortunately they have players that can turn it on at will and punish any slip.
-
How do I get Radio 5 with Sir Graham Taylor on Radio or Virgin box. I got Radio WM and it is all about Albion I think. I want to watch without greek soundtrack.

It might help if Albrighton got a bit of service. Everything going down the right with little to show for it.
-
Breaking well and doing fuck all in the final half
-
Different manager but the same poor team selection for the opposition at hand.
GH: A few basics:
• Don’t play 3 wide players in a team like ManU at OT
• Stan isn’t up to a game like this
• This team (as per my pre match thread) would have been better equipped:
Friedel,
Walker, Collins, Dunne, Carlos
Clark
Albrighton Bannan Makoun Young
Bent
Let’s see what he does at HT?
-
Haven't managed to see most of the game, but saw the goals and they both came from slack defending. Nicely finished by Rooney yes, but he should never have had the chance to get the shots away in the first place, poor marking by both Dunne and Collins.
-
Bannan's just tweeted "Where the fuck am I" #FF RT @dwhandv
no wonder why he's playing so shit then. Should be concentrating on the game and not his frigging iphone.
-
VStreams showed first half highlights and we didn't get any air time - just wave after wave of Utd attacks.
Didn't expect anything - so won't be disappointed - would love to see Bradley and Makoun together.
TBF to Dunne and collins they are being made to look like they are having a shocker by their movement and incisiveness (glass half empty)
-
Lots of nice square balls, absolutely fuck all else. Get Albrighton off, Young out wide and Gabby up front.
-

-
Should have has a pen there
-
Hows Macka playing?
-
Bannan...back to Bannan....Bannan, little lay off to Bannan..Bannan....BANNAN, OH I SAY!
-
Great break there and I think Bent was tripped in the area.
-
Is Ashley Young actually playing - never seen a game where he has had so little of the ball
-
There's a tackle from Makoun
-
I see he of the cloven hoof has gone back to hating us again since his mate MoN upped sticks and left.
-
Petrov looks exhausted already, fucking hell he is just pointless now.
He looked knackered climbing off the team bus. Really sad but it appears his legs have completely gone.
-
How the do I turn the warning off? Its driving me made having to submit a message 5+ times!!!

Not read the rest of this thread so sorry if I'm repeating anything.
Dunne - back to his terrifying worst.
Young - waste of time in that role.
Bannan - ??????????
-
There's a tackle from Makoun
It was a good on too.
-
I like the look of this makoun fella - its like Djemba Djemba only a footballing version
-
Bannan, Bannan, Bannan, prepared to adventure down the left. There's a good ball played in for Barry Bannan. Oh, it must be. And it is! Barry Bannan. Villa in the lead.
-
oh goodie - alan green commentating on the radio and a crap live-stream, reckon i'll just look to you herberts for updates on this match thread instead

Walker doesn't half crop up in some scarey parts of the pitch

Jeez we do look quite shit don't we.
-
Scared shitless of attacking.
-
This is a load of fucking rubbish.
You'll be rolling out the "Bring back MON" banners next, Riss.
Can you not at least see what we're trying to do? Play football?
Some of our possession and passing has been excellent. We're lacking the final ball, but we're knocking it around nicely. I've even noticed some movement off the ball.

I know but we have no cutting edge through the middle to bring the best out of Bent and to stem them when they come forward.
-
I gave up at half time to watch Silent Witness.
Lets hope for better against Fulham.
-
Prime Ashley Young territory.
To see it sail into Row Z, obv.
-
Free kick - at least work the keeper. Come on Bannan.
-
Dire this.
-
Poor timing really this. Could have done with a couple more shit teams before a game like this while we were improving.
-
Free kick good position - AY to sky it?
-
Give it to Bannan
-
Ah fuck it, time for Football Manager.
Black Ops I think.
Yeah and I'm stuck with the work laptop and the missus watching gypsies on the bloody telly. (We can't say pikeys or gyppoes, right?)
-
How long is it since Rooney got sent off and then slipped in the tunnel breaking both his legs?
-
Free kick good position - AY to sky it?
Yup
-
I never expect Young to score form free kicks.
-
Bannan had already tweeted "Young will blast it well over, the tosser! Tsk!" Please RT

Agree Paulie, we are playing some decent stuff.
-
should have cashed in on young he has been shit all season
-
Free kick good position - AY to sky it?
How on earth...
-
Feckin waste yet again by Young. Leave them for someone else please like Downing or Marc.
-
EVERY TIME. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME.
-
Bring Gabby on, please.
-
Ah, good, Arsenal equalise.
-
Is he still playing Downing and Albrighton on the wrong wings? As much as Young in the hole is not working, the best games for our wingers are when they play there natural sides. Downing and Albrighton have both got goals getting on the crosses of the other winger. When they have to check back to get it on their stronger foot we lose the impetus.
-
why does young take every fkin free kick
-
I never expect Young to score form free kicks.
He wastes nearly everyone. Imagine Collins could do better.
-
What a depressingly predictable free kick. Utterly shit.
-
MA should have taken that - or Bannan
-
Can't wait for young to sign that lucrative long term contract.
-
Fucking hell, Gerard, GET BANNAN ON!
-
Villa are a bit like my bedroom performance with various women over the years...... not penetrating enough. :D
-
We're lacking the final ball, but we're knocking it around nicely. I've even noticed some movement off the ball.
We're lacking the ball before the final ball because we have no balls.
-
BENT!!!!!!! YESS!!!!! Bannan assist! :P
-
Makoun and Downing having words there
-
Bent!!!!!!
-
darren bent you beauty
-
Get in Bent ya beauty
-
get in
-
I didn't expect much tonight - perhaps we should've played the 11 from Saturday? I think you'll see Bradley in for Petrov soon. Just seems a wrong formation tonight. Cuellar is so unlucky!! Still think we should've kept Davies - a good option alongside Cuellar.
-
BENT!
-
YYYYYEEEESSSSS. The Bentman!!!!!
-
How long is it since Bono last trod on a land mine?
** Crosses fingers **
-
When was the last time Young scored a free kick, or should I say what is his ratio of goals scored to free kicks taken? There must be some reason why he takes each one and blasts it to row Z
-
Ha! Bent it like Bannan.
-
I love Darren Bent more than I love pies.
-
Get the fuck in Benty balls.
-
BbbbbbbbbeeeeeeennnnNttttttttt!
Baaaaannnnnnnaaaaaannnnnn!!!!!!
-
Great from downign and bent. Get in. And that killer ball from bannan started it all off.
-
That's what goalscorers do
-
get in!
-
Get in Bent!
-
I wish someone else'd take a free kick, FFS.
-
YEEEEEEEEEEES GET IN!
-
COME ON VILLA!!!!!!!!!!!
-
good ball in, great finish
-
Right, get Agbonlahor on and let's get at them properly now.
-
You fookin beut!
That's right Trev - he doesnt miss!
-
great goal!
-
Nice one Benty.
-
Bentinho!
-
Woo-hoo!
-
When was the last time Young scored a free kick, or should I say what is his ratio of goals scored to free kicks taken? There must be some reason why he takes each one and blasts it to row Z
its either row Z or into the wall.... Let someone else have a go
-
GAME FUCKING ON!!!
-
It really is time for Petrov to make way now.
-
Could do a lot worse than getting Heskey up top to support DB
-
I wish someone else'd take a free kick, FFS.
That's how far behind my steam is. Bent!!!! etc...
-
Right, get Agbonlahor on and let's get at them properly now.
Well said Pie Man.
-
Can't believe we're still in this!]
Get Gabby on and try on pounch on Manure being a bit shell shocked at all this happening!
-
Bargain Bent......
-
yes!come on!!!!!!!
-
Oh, please...
-
Not a sniff all night, then one chance, one goal. That's what he does. Love it!
-
Hold it tight for 5
-
Petrov is way way way too slow
-
Worth a dig from the Tamath Terror!
-
Ash should be banned from free kicks in future. Continuously wastes them when we have others in the team that can strike the ball well.
-
Fucks sake, get Gabby on and lets go for it.
-
Walker looks like he may have been taking positional tips from Warnock.
-
Oh, please...
Oh, please what?
-
Lovely turn and shot by Albrighton. Please, please, please, please.......
-
MotD tonight?
-
How many times has Ashley Young put a direct free kick in?
-
Could do with a point, most of the teams below us have a game or two in hand on us. Blues have played 3 games less.
-
Vidic. 3-1.
-
Bargain bent indeed!
Tried watching it on the justin tv app but it's bloody crap!
-
Come on boys better team 2nd half
-
Fuck off!
-
FFS
-
Shit.
-
The inevitable.
-
Bollocks.
-
Bugger
-
FDUCCCCCCCCCCCCK
-
Hold it tight for 5
you were saying?
-
How the do I turn the warning off? Its driving me made having to submit a message 5+ times!!!
it's in your personal settings
Cheers Mac. Thanks for that. Sorted.
-
Bollocks
-
BOLLOCKS!!!
-
Bollox. TF having an orgasm the twat.
-
Friedel rooted. Seeing a lot of that lately.
-
Great.
-
Vidic with a Dunne like strike.
-
Fuck it
-
bollocks
-
Rooney was effing offside for the 3rd!
-
Shrek was fucking off side from Vidic header - you ******
-
I don't blame that Supertom fella or that Kelly fella this time.
-
I knew they'd get another we are piss poor defensively.
-
that is no way to close the ball down
-
Bollocks.
-
What the fuck!!
-
Defending like wankers again.
-
Not out of this yet.
-
Fuck.
-
Downing you absolute ******. I fucking hate you. He has jumped out of every bit of contact tonight and didnt bother his hole jumping to clear that one either. Prick.
-
GET PETROV OFF
-
Heskey coming on, but where's Bannan?
-
GET PETROV OFF
Yes
-
Fuck off Downing, you big girl's blouse.
-
No please god not the most prolific EH
-
Downing you absolute c***. I fucking hate you. He has jumped out of every bit of contact tonight and didnt bother his hole jumping to clear that one either. Prick.
Followed it up with a shit cross as well.
-
Ah well move on to the weekend and let's have another home win please.
-
How tall does Downing think Bent is, someone needs to tell him he's not 8ft tall.
-
God Downing is so utterly useless at times.
-
Can we just not bother playing this lot again? just give them the 6 points and have 2 extra days rest?
-
Downing you are playing like a complete ****** tonight.
-
It's not over yet.
-
Downing needs to fucking make the final ball do something vaguely threatening.
-
Fulham is a very big game now.
-
God Downing is so utterly useless at times.
the 90 minutes that follow kick off, mostly
-
Ah well move on to the weekend and let's have another home win please.
I hope so but Fulham seem to have hit a bit of a mini revival at the moment and are playing some good stuff.
-
Twenty minutes to score three.
If you can smell fear, Man United must reek.
-
What a shit challenge from Giggs yet Francis was wanking over him
-
Can we just not bother playing this lot again? just give them the 6 points and have 2 extra days rest?
Does that mean we have to give back the 1 point we got this season?
-
"that could have been a yellow card" heard for not the first time regards a manure challenge.
-
So he takes Albrighton off and leaves Downing on. brilliant.
-
How the fuck isn't that a yellow card.
-
Heskey for Albrighton
-
Off the bar from Young. Balls.
-
Makoun has been good today, a clever player.
-
Good shot by AY there - unlucky
-
Ash off the bar.
-
Heskey and Bent will astonish us.
-
unlucky ash.
-
4-4-2 with Ash out wide - I feel another goal for us
-
Wish that had gone in ! ???
-
Can we just not bother playing this lot again? just give them the 6 points and have 2 extra days rest?
why not. Felt like a defeat!
Does that mean we have to give back the 1 point we got this season?
-
I heard we have started to up the woodwork count again. Is someone trying to challenge our record?
-
Pity clark did not take his head off
-
God Downing is so utterly useless at times.
Can't tackle, can't cross. Makes one assist every now and then but contributes next to nothing for the other 89 minutes.
-
Clark - 7 yellows in last 8 games!
-
We're definitely going to score again tonight.
-
Young, world class carpentry. You've had a good night out - but you go home with nowt! Nothing in this game for two in the bed. Bannan's bellowed you out there.
-
Is Petrov's replacement making his debut on Saturday?
-
Effort
-
Gabby coming on?
-
Gabby coming on for Stan
-
Gabby on for Petrov?
-
Ah well move on to the weekend and let's have another home win please.
I hope so but Fulham seem to have hit a bit of a mini revival at the moment and are playing some good stuff.
Yeah but they're crap away.
Blimey an expected defea and we're all looking at the bottom 3 again!
-
Kin ell. 3/4 strikers on.
-
God Downing is so utterly useless at times.
Can't tackle, can't cross. Makes one assist every now and then but contributes next to nothing for the other 89 minutes.
Yep
-
petrov is a joke
-
What are you shaking your head for Petrov? You've done jack shit all night.
-
Fuck off Petrov.
-
Half watching Olbiyun Wigan whilst on here. N'Zogbia is awesome, we should definately try to get him if Young goes, or maybe just get him anyway.
-
Petrov miffed at being subbed. You're having a fucking laugh.
-
Petrov not happy at being subbed?! WTF - he's been poor
-
Petrov doesn't look happy, but he must realise he is not up to the pace.
-
Nice to see Petrov hanging his head in shame there.
-
So he takes Albrighton off and leaves Downing on. brilliant.
The doubts are coming back again.
-
It's about time Petrov took up cross-stitch, or something.
-
Shit the bed, Dunney!
-
Ah well move on to the weekend and let's have another home win please.

I don't want to sound defeatist on that. But we have played at least a game more then everyone in the bottom half.
-
Fucking Petrovs attitude sucks at times
-
Great challenge Clark. We need to stop getting done by these balls over the top.
-
Bannan has just tweeted "At least the Blues are in the relegation zone tonight".
-
Nice to see Petrov hanging his head in shame there.
That could cause an injury to Makoun :)
-
Sound like Dunne went some way to pay back the mistake in the first minute.
-
Why didn't G.H got with this line up from the start?
-
Great tackle
-
Makoun lost the ball there. First time tonight as far as I've noticed
-
NRC for Downing
-
At least Everton, Baggies and Sunderland are all losing. We haven't lost ground tonight really. :-\
-
Have been really impressed with Makoun tonight. Doesn't give the ball away and seems to do all the simple things well. Plus he's a lot more forward thinking than sideways/backwards Stanley!
Just hope Bradley comes in and cements his place next to Makoun, so we can leave Petrov well alone!
-
At last Downing off.
-
Whatever the result it's been good to see us have a real go tonight
-
Have been really impressed with Makoun tonight. Doesn't give the ball away and seems to do all the simple things well
We said this about the Bersonator. But yes, I agree.
-

Berson was cool but took half an hour to do anything - makoun is quick to think
-
I find it incredible that Petrov has had a hussy fit at being taken off. Let's hope that's the last we see of him, been shite all season.
-
Fucking Vandersar took that out the box!
-
How fucking much does this commentator want Rooney to get a hat trick?
-
Whatever the result it's been good to see us have a real go tonight
I agree.
I can't remember the last time we gave the ball away so infrequently, and passed it around so well.
-
We've played pretty well, they've played better.
Albrighton looks out of sorts.
He has for a long time in my opinion.
H&V's been on the blink for me since half-time so I meant to respond to this earlier.
Albrighton's been arguably our best player this season!
-
Outta the area then Shirley???
-
I reckon that should have been handball as Van der Sar carried the ball out of the area
-
Good save Brad
-
Not bad for an old un.
-
Well done big brad
-
great save
-
Baggies now level which is probably a better score.....
-
I've got an idea. Why don't we give Rooney, Giggs and Berbatov loads of space around the edge of the box and see what happens.
-
Played Brad
-
Makoun has played very well, and looked like he was on his own for a long time. Hopefully him and bradley will make a good pairing. Still think Dunne and Collins is a dangerous pairing though, both look like giving away chances even when they play well.
-
Different rules for them
-
Gabby's injured
-
Come on Villa ! Get two late goals !
-
Handball in the box and not given shocker.
-
Where's Downing with the corners when you want him.
-
Despite the score, I think we've played pretty well today. On another day we could have got a result. The two lapses at the start and end of the first half were silly.
-
Apart from the goals i do not see that they have been that better than us - i think we can take some great positives from this
Makoun i think has been excellent
-
Gabby's injured
I bet he'll be glad when this season is over....
-
he did have his back to the ball for the hand ball
-
The Baggies drawn level against Wigan .... ffs
-
Ashley Young with another pass to the keeper
-
Why didn't Bannan take the penalty and smash it in?
-
Bah, felt we would lose here! so not to down hearted, losing to the probably league winners away. Bloody United just roll on and on still not lost this season.
As for us need a result against Fulham at home and we will be fine.
-
We should have fucking sold Bannan to spurs when we had the chance.
-
Apart from the two goals conceded by Mark Kelly, this has been a pretty even match.
-
Apart from the goals i do not see that they have been that better than us
You've got to be joking. They've barely had to get out of second gear. If Friedel hadn't been on top form they might have had 6.
-
The Baggies drawn level against Wigan .... ffs
Probably the best result for us tbf.
-
I must say Big Brad has had a blinder tonight.
-
Despite the score, I think we've played pretty well today.
Except the defence, which explains the score. They could have had more if we're honest.
Have liked what I've seen from Makoun though.
-

I'll have a pint of whatever you've been drinking. Man U have been in complete control.
-
Sorry but if someone offer us 15-18 mil for Young in the summer i would rip their hand off
-
We've barely test van der Saar!!! Surely that's the aim of the game? They could of buried us today if brad had played so well, where as we have no idea if vdS would of played well as he's had to do F-all.
-
Sorry but if someone offer us 15-18 mil for Young in the summer i would rip their hand off
Me too. He just too wasteful.
-
is there much fergie time seen as there winning?
-
4th Bannan held up 3 minutes
-
Sorry but if someone offer us 15-18 mil for Young in the summer i would rip their hand off
Me too. He just too wasteful.
Add Downing to that list.
-
nah, 3 minutes only.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing Bradley and Makoun in the middle for us on Saturday. Both can pass, and neither are afraid. We need some teeth in there.
-

would have to disagree with you on downing, poor today but has been one of our better players this season
-

And Bannan?
-
Fuck off Young, just fuck the fuck off!!
-
What have we learnt tonight ?
We are NOT back yet.
Makoun is a good player.
Bent is going to score a few for us but we need others too.
ManUre for the title.
-

Up until Christmas yes. Seems to have disappeared since then.

I also concur.
Downing has been fabulous this season, but I was less than impressed today.
-
Even though they combined for the Bent goal, I do not see Young and Downing as part of the future. With Bradley Bannan, Albrighton, Delph, Gardner, Forrester and Carruthers in the "waiting room" I think we should cash in now (i.e. July). We could do with some leadership from them, rather than their ambivalence and complacency.
Interesting game tonight: composure but little threat.
-
Post-Match thread now, please.
-
And people said we didn't need a new central defender?
Agree mate but we have two good: one lies on the bench, and the other is played as LB.
-
I blame that Kelly fella.
I blame Dunne.
If soemone doeasn't agree with you either never played football or is Richard Dunne, mate.
Dunne and Collins: only one excellent game in the season (Man. City home), and they earn their huge wages since August. . .
