Probably about time we had one of these.
-
Team news, all the Manc players are twunts!
I'm dead mature.
-
Pull a miracle out of the bag and win Villa please, please.
-
Stand tall, stand proud and stuff the mancs !
Lets spoil their party and have one of our own at 10pm :)

Time to turn off the TV, mobile, radio and the laptop. Praying for good news at around 10 when I re-surface.

Best opening post on the Post-Match thread ever, Dave. I'm staying in retirement.

Nice pussy.
-
We've won there three times since the war. 2009 obviously, an early 80s game and?
-
Which war?
-

Either '53 or '54 I think. Last time we did the double over them.
-
Which war?
First Punic War.
-
Which war?
The 100 Years War, although with Fergie time it was more like 109 years.
-
We've won there three times since the war. 2009 obviously, an early 80s game and?
1954/55. We played them away on 27/12 and won 1-0, a day later we played them at home and won 2-1.
-
@MatKendrick: Gabby for Bowery the only change, I'm hearing #avfc
-
Villa: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar [c], Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, N’Zogbia, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke.
subs: Given, Holman, Sylla, El Ahmadi, Bent, Bowery, Clark.
-
Given they have been rubbish for many years per premier league, that record is atrocious. Should have won that game under Big Ron when Staunton scored a screamer. Was it Bryan Small who refused to just allowing Cantona a free header?
-
Can't accuse Lambert of ever going for a 0-0 in a game can we!
-
Attacking line up - i would maybe have played sylla ahead of nzogbia but its certainly a line up that can cause utd problems.
-
I love Paul Lambert. 4 attackers in the starting line-up at Old Trafford.
-
At least Gabby is back. We really missed him (and the 3 points) against Fulham.
-
I'd have rathered we had gone for 4-3-3 with either Sylla or Bannan in for N'Zogbia. I truely believe that we could have dominated midfield against these.
-
I love Paul Lambert. 4 attackers in the starting line-up at Old Trafford.
Should have put Bent in in place of Baker.
-
I love Paul Lambert. 4 attackers in the starting line-up at Old Trafford.
It's brave but i remember what happened at the bridge , we certainly can't afford to take a real hiding tonight - makes for an intriguing game without doubt.
-
Bloody hell we're attacking them, well fair play I just hope we don't have another Chelsea on our hands. Come on you Villa boys.
-
Can't accuse Lambert of ever going for a 0-0 in a game can we!
I imagine if McWank was still manager we'd be going 2-9-1-1 and pray the ref didn't know how to play odd men out in that line up
Guzan, Given, Schoolbus, Vlaar, Lowton, Bennett, Hutton, Lichaj, 18 wheeler transport truck, Baker, Clark, Delph, Heskey
-
Gabby 5/1 to score at any time with hills
My money is down
-
I think Lambert is just matching the Plastics 4-4-2 formation.
-
Kinda is a 433, isn't it?
Back four, Delph-Westy with N'Zo just infront and then a front three with Benteke playing centre forward.
-
That's probably the best we could have gone with. Shame they're very good and will probably beat us, but we're giving it a decent go with our best side out there.
-
I love Paul Lambert. 4 attackers in the starting line-up at Old Trafford.
Should have put Bent in in place of Baker.
I'd have had him in goal as a rushing goalie.
-
The glory-hunting, arrogan arse burgers are already selling "Champions 20" shirts and scarves. I hope Lamberghini tells our players that.
-
Bloody hell we're attacking them, well fair play I just hope we don't have another Chelsea on our hands. Come on you Villa boys.
I guess with our team, attack is the best way of defence - utd will not be used to teams playing so open at old Trafford.

What a load of tosh. Heskey would be on the wing so it would be a 2-9-2-0.
-
I feel sick, just pacing up and down the living room. Football is unbelievably emotional.
-

Don't give Mr Gung-ho Lambert ideas!
-
Our attackers should fancy their chances against a pairing of Jones/Evans though.
-
So much for ignoring the game. I haven't left this place for an hour! Listening to Run DMC isn't helping calm me down either.
-

Well, those shirts and scarves will be right by the end of the season. Hopefully not the end of the night.

Sam Cam's hubby remains optimistic on Aston Villa. Hope that eases the nerves.

I hope you have defrosted the admirals pie pws ;)
-
Sometimes occasions like this that are set up as a party / celebration some club comes along to spoil the party. If there is any justice in the world, for all the times they've done us over, we deserve to give these fuckers a slap in the face.
Fair play to Lambert for giving it a go, just don't concede too early or score too early. An 89th minute goal followed by a 2nd breakaway in the 90th minute would do nicely.
UTV
-
With that attack we could quite easy go 2.0 up in the second half.
-
I feel sick, just pacing up and down the living room. Football is unbelievably emotional.
I hear you, I'm in a similar predicament.
-

Nope, no pie tonight.
-
Benteke vs Evans... snigger... fancy us to score
-
Sam Cam's hubby remains optimistic on Aston Villa. Hope that eases the nerves.
I wouldn't read too much into that. He was optimistic about Margaret Thatcher at the start of the month.
-
I feel nervous. Very nervous. Not sure i can stomach watching this. Might have to follow it on the bbc.
I really hope it doesn't become some sort of rampant carnival atmosphere and a thrashing. I can just picture RVP scoring after about 6 minutes.
-
Kinda is a 433, isn't it?
Back four, Delph-Westy with N'Zo just infront and then a front three with Benteke playing centre forward.
I think more 4231 because N'Zogbia isn't really a CM as he rarely drops deep.
-
So much for ignoring the game. I haven't left this place for an hour! Listening to Run DMC isn't helping calm me down either.

Good man. I don't believe in superstitions for Monday night games.

Neither do I. Touch wood.

Come on Villa, how I would love us to win this
What is the plastic gloryhunter's team tonight?
-
Off to watch at The New Rose. Villa to win 2-0 and Benteke to score. I'll be a millionaire if Gabby scores as well!
-
Come on Villa, how I would love us to win this
What is the plastic gloryhunter's team tonight?
MAN UTD: De Gea, Evans, Evra, Rafael, Jones, Valencia, Rooney, Giggs, Carrick, Van Persie, Kagawa. Subs: Ferdinand, Lindegaard, Hernandez, Nani, Welbeck, Cleverley, Buttner.
Is Buttner the kid from South Park they gave coffee to?
-
I've already had 2 glasses of wine ( large) Cacking it
-
Thanks PWS, I reckon we can do ok against that team though their subs bench is daunting if we do get ahead

What a load of tosh. Heskey would be on the wing so it would be a 2-9-2-0.
I very much doubt that. I had him playing just behind the wingers might have been slightly in front of Delph and not being asked to go anywhere near the final third of the pitch. You sir are talking tosh if you think he'd be playing in any attacking capacity.
-
Well here we go, lets hope for a great night and a wonderful post match thread !
I'm off upstairs to watch the game in peace - enjoy it all!
-
Our club is the greatest club ever to grace this planet, I love the claret and blue with every fibre of my being, it has been the only constant throughout my life and come rain or shine I will always be proud to wear my colours.
I realise that's got fuck all to do with tonight's match, but I felt like sharing it anyway.
-
Radio in the bath for me followed by pasta and sauce which we have every Monday evening!
-
Isn't having the radio in the bath a little bit dangerous?
-

Good man. I don't believe in superstitions for Monday night games.

See what we did then.
-
I think their most dangerous player will be Kagawa. He'll probably play on the left, so Lowton needs to be on his game.
-
Isn't having the radio in the bath a little bit dangerous?
I just knew someone would say that Leeg! Quite. Having the radio in the bath listening to the Villa is more than a little bit dangerous...
-
It's electrifying.
-

Just in case, you may as well have a toaster handy

-
Going to be one of those where getting to 15 minutes without conceding will be a mini victory....then 30 minutes and so on. If I'm alive to see it of course...
-
So much for ignoring the game. I haven't left this place for an hour! Listening to Run DMC isn't helping calm me down either.
I was going to ignore it as well.
Sky Sports now on with first beer in hand.
-
Gabby 5/1 to score at any time with hills
My money is down
Christian Benteke / Man Utd 2-1 @ 155/1 looks a sound investment.
-
There will be carnage in the office tomorrow if we beat this lot....
-
Very very attacking. Got to admire it but like others I fear what a drubbing could do to our confidence with only a couple of (very important) games remaning. Of course, I'm a pessimist though :)
-
I have just become stupidly optimistic. Need to calm down a bit.
-
Do not be nervous. Villa are odds on to lose, so the only thing to be nervous about is a big score against. Anything else should be relished. Come on, underdogs!
-

Thing is we are not good enough to play a tight game we don't have the defence.All out attack is our best option really
-
A PM would be nice around now :)
-
A Post Mortem? Save that for later
-
I know it included Bowery, but did our "front four" at stoke start flattish, with the big fella at sort of inside-left rather than straight down the middle, out towards gabby, dragging their centre-halves across? Left room for Weimann and Bowery to get at them. Do that tonight, take our early chances for fekn once, out of sight by half time, job's a good'un.
Aah, pre-match optimism!!
-
My birthday on Friday. Hope we win.

My birthday on Friday. Hope we win.

If we win it will be all our birthdays :)
-
Nervous as hell. Come on you Villa boys!
-
I have a funny feeling we'll win this
The lads know they have to get results or we're fooked
-Man U know they can canter to the title ,risking no injuries etc
-
My birthday on Friday. Hope we win.
UTV
If we win it will be all our birthdays :)
;D
-
If we can keep it tight for half hour we might frustrate them enough to make a mistake or two...
-
Fair play to Neville, he talks sense about the game as a pundit.
It was a blessing that Andy Gray came out with enough bollox to get booted out of SKY.
-
;)
A PM would be nice around now :)
If you get a 'Post Mortem' Fergal, pass it on mate.
-
In reality we just need to avoid getting hammered...
-
All these glory hunting fucktards on my facebook feed can sod off and die. I can't describe how much I'd love even a point tonight.
-
Off to watch Man v Food.
-
Fair play to Neville, he talks sense about the game as a pundit.
What did our kid have to say for 'imself?

Don't know but we can have a PM later if we get beaten...
-
Watching from Florida with a plate of ham and cheese sandwiches and lots of beer in fridge. Wife asleep outside poolside so should be ok for whole match without disturbance. UTV!! Will probably lose 3-0 though!
-
I can't say I like the idea of just Delph and Westwood on a big pitch like that. Still, let's see how it goes.
-
I'm sure this has been said elsewhere, but oh my god I want us to shit all over the media love in. Get a room. Stay there for another 20 seasons
-
I'll probably regret saying this, but other than Rooney and Van Persie, that's a pretty ordinary Manure team
-
Fucking come on Villa!!!!!!
-
I'm contemplating turning this off already, I feel sick!
-
Come on lads, let's make them shove that trophy up their arse for another game at least.
-
In reality we just need to avoid getting hammered...
This is the fighting spirit we need Fergal. ' Get out there boys and bend over'.
-
I have a bad feeling about this game.
I fear utd are going in dry tonight
-
Off to watch Man v Food.
Haven't you seen enough replays of Suarez biting Ivanovic?
-
Bloody Ferguson signing autographs instead of watching.
-
I have a bad feeling about this game.
I fear utd are going in dry tonight
Ha, ha. I reckon a draw.
-
Bollocks
-
1-0 fucking dreadful.
-
Good lord. Comedy defending at its very worst.
-
oh F***
-
Well i'm off to watch a film. Fuckstick ******.
-
In reality we just need to avoid getting hammered...
This is the fighting spirit we need Fergal. ' Get out there boys and bend over'.
You know what I mean....
The fucking commentator calling it the 'theatre of dreams' before kickoff. ******
-
There you go.
-
Not a good start.Why didn't Brad come for that cross??
-
Valencia was offside.
-
Bollox!
-
fuck me....
-
Oh, this will be fun.
-
Offside twice?
-
A Chelsea style drubbing would not be a good idea.
-
Shut up shop Villa we can't afford to get battered.
-
right just switched on
oh for fucks sake
-
Awful, awful, awful.
-
We need to not lose our heads a la Chelsea.
Please?!?!
-
Just fuck off
-
oh dear
-
off to watch a film too , this is going to be another Chelsea blood bath.
-
Fucking ridiculous.
-
Fuck off.
-
Should have been 2, terrible defending by Vlaar.
-
Fuck me could have been 2.
-
Jesus wept what are we doing at the back!
-
What a resilient bunch we are. Nathan Baker still asleep on the coach.
-
fucking hell....
-
Guzan where were you?
-
Should have been two fucking useless.
-
When we get relegated, it will be totally down to Lambert's inability to construct anything even remotely resembling a defence.
-
That was nearly 2-0.
FFS Villa, wake up!
-
oh dear-we're getting rodgered
-
Blow the whistle please reff
-
Dreadful start - could have been 2 down in 3 mins.
-
Settle for 4-0. Serious.
-
That was better
-
Talk Sport: "Stay tuned, this could be a real rout."
-
Guzan's fault I am afraid
-
Should have been 2, terrible defending by Vlaar.
Worst defender ever.
-
Deep joy, at least we won't have the sheer elongated minute by minute agony of trying to hold on to a 1-0 lead....
Always a silver lining to any cloud eh!
-
I thought we'd give it a try at least.
-
the thought of all those plastic manc's gurning and looking smug. Fuck me...
-
We are going to be odds on to go down after tonight.
-
Fucking terrible N'Zog.
-
Settle for 4-0. Serious.
Too late - they scored so will have to settle for 4 -1
-
Talk Sport: "Stay tuned, this could be a real rout."
Yeah, well that's what people want - no competition.
-
Ah.
-
Settle for 4-0. Serious.
You'll be lucky
-
Right Villa it's time to show some fucking balls, that is an abysmal start but it could be worse already. So wake the fuck up.
-
2 minutes? 2 fucking minutes.
-
We are going to be odds on to go down after tonight.
Noooo we will still stay up. we were always odds on to lose this one.
-
Only thing worth commenting on: Guzan's shirt, is that a new one? Not noticed it before.
-
Fuck Talk Sport, it's radio for chavs. Come on Villa!
-
See - Bennett isn't a defender in a million years. That was appalling.
-
Game over after 1 min 21 secs ?
-
Right Villa it's time to show some fucking balls, that is an abysmal start but it could be worse already. So wake the fuck up.
indeed.
-
I've got a very bad feeling about this. 15 more minutes of villa pressure followed by two quick fire Man U goals I reckon.
Please please please don't go cavalier villa. And pull your finger out Bennett
-
Bennett needs to settle and fucking quickly
-
Fucking terrible N'Zog.
All season...
-
Nearly better.
-
Well this is good isn't it?
-
We do look a bit of a threat. I just can't see us keeping them out at the other end
-
Fucking hell Lowton you can't get burnt by Giggs. Great defending Vlaar.
-
Valencia has been told to show up Bennett.
-
Fucking hell, nearly another.
-
Both fullbacks playing like absolute mugs. What the fuck!
-
I am quicker than that welsh bafoon.
-
Great challenge by the worst defender ever.
-
I'm going to get on with the decorating. It's the hope that kills you.
-
Should have been 2, terrible defending by Vlaar.
Worst defender ever.
Looked a bit better just now.
-
Valencia has been told to show up Bennett.
I reckon I could get past him to the by-line.
-
Fucking hell off the post. Wake the fuck up and press the ball.
-
fuck me, all i can think to say is fuck me...
-
This is fucking awful
-
Ha, hit the woodwork. It's going to be our night now ........
-
Men 1 - Boys 0
-
If ever there was a reason not to fear relegation, it's this. Who wants this every year?
-
Yanited look in the mood tonight, men against boys.
-
Press the fucking ball Villa, get in there faces and stop standing off.
-
Are we playing Chelsea?
-
Where was Lowton then? Is he ever to be found actually attempting anything defensive?
-
RVP could have had 3 already...
-
Do I hate John Champion. No torture would be an injustice to the lump of pointless protoplasm.
-
Oh Benteke you should have scored.
-
Easily the worse defence I've ever seen in Villa colours.
-
Should have equalised.
-
come on lads
-
Should have scored
-
Shoulda scored, we look dangerous on the break
-
should be 1 - 1
-
OOoooohhh. Bugger. Where there's Weimann and Benteke, there's hope.
-
Right hopefully that'll wake us up.
-
Gotta do better there but we look really dangerous on the break.
-
should be 1 - 1
If we're going to count near misses, 4-1.
-
should be 1 - 1
You mean 4-1.
-
Our full backs look shaky defensively. They're targeting Bennett with balls in behind him. We're like a rabbit in headlights at the back
Fuck I thought he'd scored then Benteke.
I can't take this. What's the sunderland game gonna be like??!!
-
Fuck this
-
Surprise surprise. Fergie sets him team up to get behind our League 1 fullbacks. Dire.
-
Sigh.....
-
2-0 fucking diabolical defending, fuck this.
-
Jesus Christ! This could be another Chelsea debacle.
-
That's a great finish, but it's terrible defending again. This has Chelsea written all over this.
-
Fuck. Cracking finish but this could be more embarrassing than Chelsea
-
This is bloody Tottenham's fault.
-
Much as it pains me, what a goal. The ******.
-
Phenomenal goal to be fair
-
I hope we send Vlaar back to Holland this summer.....he's beyond hopeless.
-
Fuck off Villa.
-
It's such a privilege
-
Wow. We're going to get absolutely stuffed. We look like a team from League 2, blinking in the headlights.
Cracking goal by van Persie.
-
I want my mommy
-
This could get nasty!
-
Well that's ridiculous.
-
this is gutting...
-
I've seen Sunday League defences better than ours.
-
We need to shut up shop, right now. Otherwise it will be another 8-0.
-
Worst Villa defence ever. Take a bow Lerner and Lambert.
-
Cricket score.
-
That'd have been offside at the other end, certainly very debatable.
-
Give Rooney a bit more space ffs!!!
-
Time for us to go I think. This league is too good for us.
-
Well I have one of my 4 bets left, which was 2-2 final score.
-
If we settle down we can be a good side, but why oh why do we come out shitting ourselves in almost every game? What the hell gets said in there between the manager and captain that makes us so scared? Have some fucking belief
-
Can we make a managerial substitution and bring back the ginger one for tonight so it is only 3 or 4 ?
-
Right. Damage limitation please villa. Were both their goals offside (Valencia then RVP)?
I really hope they just kill the game now. This could do horrors to our confidence. This is exactly what I feared so far.
I'm gonna have to turn off.
-
We are the only team who don't appear to be able to put up a fight. Man the fuck up.
-
I cant watch this.
The entire cast of sky sports have Utd's cock in their mouth and they are all taking turns to nibble the tip. Add to the fact we are totally and utterly shit, I think I might just not watch a televised villa game for the first time in my life.
-
All going neatly to script so far.
-
This could get nasty!
It already is.
-
A great goal by van Persie, but he should never have been in the position to score it. All Vlaar had to do was get within a few feet of him. The useless ******.
-
Always against us as well. We're their whipping boys, and its humiliating.
-
Can't we just shake hands and walk off now please. Man U champs, early night for us.
-
I'm not sure how much of this I can watch...
-
Evening all. Oh heck.
-
Defend now Villa, we can't get anything from this game other than destroyed.
-
Bennett isn't fit to play for our club. A walking disaster.
-
This could easily be another hammering - utd will not ease up , they are in the mood to party and we are lambs to the slaughter.
-
Think I'll go and walk the dogs. Maybe mow the grass. I had a more competitive game of football with my five year old son this evening than we're about to watch.
-
It's almost like the commentators are saying ' it was offside but that don't matter cause it's Manyoooos party'
-
Turned it off, it isn't happening, first time I think in my Villa supporting life I've thought we just aren't good enough for top flight football, what have we become?
-
Damage limitation now. Lets not have another Chelsea.
-
Can't watch anymore. Hurts too much.
-
Right. Damage limitation please villa. Were both their goals offside (Valencia then RVP)?
I really hope they just kill the game now. This could do horrors to our confidence. This is exactly what I feared so far.
I'm gonna have to turn off.
You must be joking? This twat is just as clueless as the last. 4 down at Chelsea, so he keeps trying to score. final results...... record defeat and a GD worse than pretty much everyone else. Get the bellend out and he can take Vlaar with him.
-
2 offsides to nil.Fuck me its tough at the bottom.
-
Anyone else see Delph or one of our defenders getting sent off?
-
Bennett needs to come off, now.
-
Bennett isn't fit to play for our club. A walking disaster.
Thought he had turned the corner TBH. Being exposed tonight though. Need Clark on ASAP with Baker going to LB. And it should remain that way for the rest of the season if we are to have any chance.
-
Giggs doesn't get booked for that?
-
Vlaar hasnt done it for me all season....if he cant defend against the likes of Bradford then what chance has he here.
-
this is like watching... add nauseating comment here.
-
Bennett isn't fit to play for our club. A walking disaster.
None of the defence are. At least you can argue that he's a young player from a lower division team. Vlaar is supposed to be a hard bastard, Dutch international, yet in reality is soft as shite and twice as useless.
-
Why the fuck didn't Vlaar head it? Blokes clueless
Can't believe Giggs never got booked for that, actually, yes I can.
-
Not looking forward to the goal difference after this one. This team goes behind to a superior team and does not know how to limit the damage. God help us is so painful!
-
This is horrible.
Total damage limitation
-
It was Lowton's not Bennett's fault for the first goal.
-
Damage limitation now. Lets not have another Chelsea.
Agreed .

And turns really fucking slowly
-
We wouldn't be half as bad if only we had an okay defence. We look decent every time we go forward.
-
Giggs doesn't get booked for that?
Not Giggseyyyyyy.... don't be stupid, that might spoil the party.
-
Giggs is immune to the normal rules.
-
I can't watch any more. What's the use? It's the most predictable thing in football, and indeed in life. And sadly, it isn't just Lambert's Villa, it's Villa.
-
What is the managerial obsession with Delph? He is Cack incarnate.
-
Terrible Delph. Come on you fucking clowns you're professional players, have some fucking pride.
-
Just walked back from work - I assume we've managed to keep things fairly tight for the first twenty minutes?
-
What is the managerial obsession with Delph? He is Cack incarnate.
He's been one of our best players for the last three months or so.
-
All we need is a new defence and midfield and we will be sorted!!!!!
-
Giggs doesn't get booked for that?
Man U players don't get booked against us, we all know that. They're allowed to do what they like, when they like.
-
We could do with Rat Face Suarez to add a bit of bite to our game. (sorry)
-
What was their first goal like?
Not been watching long, saw the second goal, unsure I want to continue watching.
-
Bennett, shit haircut, shit footballer.
-
Forget the cross....
HE ACTUALLY DEFENDED!!!!!!!
-
Just walked back from work - I assume we've managed to keep things fairly tight for the first twenty minutes?
Snort...
-
What was their first goal like?
Not been watching long, saw the second goal, unsure I want to continue watching.
Terrible defending.
-
Just walked back from work - I assume we've managed to keep things fairly tight for the first twenty minutes?
Snort...
As tight as Jordans clunge...
-
Are we sure its not Cardboard Ron???
-
What was their first goal like?
Not been watching long, saw the second goal, unsure I want to continue watching.
Great pass from Rooney out wide, lofted ball into the penalty area that Guzan stupidly left, knocked back across goal for Van Persie to poke home. Easy.
-
We wouldn't be half as bad if only we had an okay defence. We look decent every time we go forward.
I agree with that. We pass and move and break well. And today's not the best game to judge our defence, but it is shit isn't it?
Not much sign of Man U stepping off the pedal yet is there?
-
Are we sure its not Cardboard Ron???
He should be making cardboard boxes, he aint good enough for this.
-
Let's hope Fergie is sensible enough to realise that if we go down, that's an almost guaranteed 6 points he'll be losing next season, and holds off on the goal difference.
-
Not watching the game, I really don't want to, but reading the comments about Vlaar, Bennett, Delph etc.
what is is that turns players who have been quite decent in recent weeks into quivering useless wrecks when they get the Theater of Dreams.
-
Have we been that bad?
From what I've seen, Man Utd have been fucking good and we've had a couple of good chances.
Don't think we've disgraced ourselves yet. That'll come with 20 minutes to go...
-
Are we sure its not Cardboard Ron???
can we have contract-terminated Ron?
-
Are we sure its not Cardboard Ron???
In the rain
-
anyone got any good jokes?
-
What the fuck is that Gabby?
-
We can't just give them the fucking ball.
-
3-2 Villa still on then...
-
anyone got any good jokes?
What apart from our defence?
-
3-2 Villa still on then...
please god please god please god
-
Can we just agree to finish now then they can start their celebrations in the light and enjoy it for longer. Best for both teams that way.
-
3-2 Villa still on then...
WIBBLING is the only thing that can save us now...
-
Is that not a fucking booking ref!??!!?
-
How is that not a booking?
-
For fucks sake book the ******!
-
I remember the mercy subbing of Steve Watson at Leicester after 35 mins, maybe Bennett can beat that record
-
Should be red
-
Oh, it is.
-
Ah it is.
-
fuck me, a manyoo player booked...
-
About time a yellow card was given. Not sure how Giggs didn't get one earlier.
-
Stop moaning evra. Booking all day long.
-
Oh please let Ferdinand come on and get injured.
-
Have we been that bad?
From what I've seen, Man Utd have been fucking good and we've had a couple of good chances.
Don't think we've disgraced ourselves yet. That'll come with 20 minutes to go...
No we haven't. We're playing a side who have pissed the title and who are playing well. They're capable of doing this to a lot of sides, but as it's us it is because we are the worst side ever.
-
oh great now twat face is coming on
-
Jonny Evans coming off. Can we loan them Ciaran Clark?
-
What a useless free kick
-
Benteke having his usual sort of game.
-
Have we been that bad?
From what I've seen, Man Utd have been fucking good and we've had a couple of good chances.
Don't think we've disgraced ourselves yet. That'll come with 20 minutes to go...
No we haven't. We're playing a side who have pissed the title and who are playing well. They're capable of doing this to a lot of sides, but as it's us it is because we are the worst side ever.
Thats because it hurts...
-
Delph keep your fucking mouth shut.
-
I'm sorry, Lambert is a s**t tactician and nobody will convince me otherwise. Playing a gung-ho formation in this game was just suicide. Should have had three deep midfielders and tried to hit them on the counter.
-

It's just the sheer mind-numbing predictability of how bad our defence is. And it easily is our worst defence since I've been watching football.
-
Good N'Zog, alert.
-
Close
-
Corner... Come on boys lets piss on the party.
-
Sums up our normal corner shambles.
-
Let's keep some perspective here. We're playing a team that has run away with the league. And we look good going forwards. We've created 3 good chances now. We're not a shit team full of shit players. We just can't defend and can be tremendously naive.
-
It's great over on Radio 5, we have Alan Green and Steve McLaren in tandem. They make that tosser on ITV and Townsend sound good
-
We just don't seem to be able to show the bit of quality I know we have. Frustrating...
-
Thinking positive, we can score tonight.
Thinking negatively, we'll probably let in 5 or 6.
-
FFS Wedstwood. Easy ball to Lowton on the right
-
Fucking appalling Westwood. 3-0.
-
Sweet Jesus.
-
fuck me again I say fuck me....
-
Jesus Christ. How the fuck did Lambert think this defence was anywhere near good enough?
-
Comedy defending. Pathetic.
-
3-0 and a hat trick for Van Persie. I seriously think that relegation is now a very distinct possibility
-
Could be twelvety.
-
Someone joked that our corners are so abysmal as our strikers practice against our defence. They aren't wrong.
-
Utterly embarrassing defending again. Van Persie was off again.
-
Like a knife through butter
-
Offside again?
-
Bollocks
-
THrow in the fuckin towel
-
Corrie here I come. Feck, feck, feck.
-
Jesus Christ. How the fuck did Lambert think this defence was anywhere near good enough?
And that negligence is why, if we go down, he should be fucked right off out of it.
-
Well that's fucked my Fantasy League chances fucked as my main league had 2 above me and they both had RVP as captain.
-
Do we really want to stay up?
-
Fucking wankers. Offside again.
-
Leave these wankers on the pitch at half time, they're fucking dreadful.
-
Fucking ridiculous Villa
-
Our team is really naive and useless. Goal difference was the only thing to fear. Lambert is a fool.
-
THREE GOALS OFFSIDE!!! Fuck me, with friends like this bent linesman who needs decent players...
-
I'm sorry, Lambert is a s**t tactician and nobody will convince me otherwise. Playing a gung-ho formation in this game was just suicide. Should have had three deep midfielders and tried to hit them on the counter.
I find it really hard to argue with that.
-
Very accommodating aren't we?
-
Oh deary me.
At least I have RVP as captain in fantasy football
What the hell was going on with our defensive line then? Baker was about 10 yards behind Vlaar.
Even if Man U go into cruise mode, they're still likely to get another 3-4 goals I think.
-
A hat-trick of offsides. Has the linesman got a flag?
-
This is going to be embarrassing.
-
Like a knife through butter
This.
-
3 offsides to nil.
-
Well, I wouldn't particularly criticise us for being taken apart by the champions with three offside goals. I'd criticise us losing 3-0 at home to Wigan - I said it at the time, if we go down, that will be the game that did it.
-
Fuck this. I'm not watching any more of this shit.
-
THREE GOALS OFFSIDE!!! Fuck me, with friends like this bent linesman who needs decent players...
Sorry you are wrong. Nothing at all wrong with at least two. Blame our defence not the officials.
-
Was that offside as well? Didn't seem it to me
-
I'm sorry, Lambert is a s**t tactician and nobody will convince me otherwise. Playing a gung-ho formation in this game was just suicide. Should have had three deep midfielders and tried to hit them on the counter.
Hard to disagree-but we can't defend however we play.
-
We are a team with no fucking balls at all, complete tarts.
-
We are now in very very serious trouble. We were never going to win this game but this has really focused my mind on the fact that we are now odds on to go down in my view
-
I think we might be up for the worst Premier League defeat ever. How much humiliation are we expected to take?
-
On course for our worst defeat of the season and with it a record defeat!
Twice in a season. Only one man too blame.
-
Jesus Christ. How the fuck did Lambert think this defence was anywhere near good enough?
And that negligence is why, if we go down, he should be fucked right off out of it.
Too right.
-
Fucking atrocious, try and shut up shop Lambert.
-
all I wanted was to go at them and for them and the rest of the planet not to take the piss out of us collectively. Was that so much to ask? I didn't want Man U to think this was a piece of piss game to win the title but that's exactly who we've become. We may as well start games without shorts and our balls exposed ripe for the kicking. At least we wouldn't be killed by the naive hope of it all.
-
We don't deserve to stay up with that imbecile Lambert at the helm.
-
Well, I wouldn't particularly criticise us for being taken apart by the champions with three offside goals. I'd criticise us losing 3-0 at home to Wigan - I said it at the time, if we go down, that will be the game that did it.
And handing six points to Southampton.
-
This is just hideously embarrassing, we are going to get the last thing we need here - a confidence and GD shattering twatting
-
Gentlemen and Lizz. I believe we are going to lose. I cant watch any more.
We go again.
-
We were never going to win this game but this has really focused my mind on the fact that we are now odds on to go down in my view
They can win 10-0 and we'll still be odds against to go down, because Wigan are still behind us.
-
We look alright for a bit then our defence parts like the red sea again. It's absolutely pathetic, the worst Villa defence I've ever seen.
-
Was that offside as well? Didn't seem it to me
Yes it was.
-
We were never going to win this game but this has really focused my mind on the fact that we are now odds on to go down in my view
They can win 10-0 and we'll still be odds against to go down, because Wigan are still behind us.
With a game in hand, and a much better goal difference.
-
This will destroy the fragile confidence of our young players. I think the good run is over.
-
3 offsides to nil.
Not for me , 1st van persie was behind the ball , 2 nd level and 3rd no problem- bad defending not bad officials.
-
I'm off. I don't think anything else needs to be said. :(
-
Ok some perspective. We were always going to lose and our goal difference is already fucked. It's all about Wigan now and they haven't closed the gap this evening.
-

We're still odds against.
Have a look at any bookmakers that you wish.
-
Fucking atrocious, try and shut up shop Lambert.
What with our defenders, don't make me laugh.
-
3 offsides to nil.
It wasn't Van Persie offside for the first.
Not for me , 1st van persie was behind the ball , 2 nd level and 3rd no problem- bad defending not bad officials.
-
Forget this game, it's over it's up to these gutless wankers to show some fighting spirit for the remaining 4 games. Westwood that was abysmal.
-
What the f**k is that westwood awful!!!
-
You now what, I'm think we'd actually have been better off if Lerner had appointed Steve McClaren.
-
Anyone here listening to the R5 commentary? I couldn't bring myself to listen to it when I heard Alan Green talking about tonight earlier on R5.
-
Its the same ole crap, every single game...following the ball and never the man. Under 8's do that.
Roll on Sunderland :'(
-
Ok some perspective. We were always going to lose and our goal difference is already fucked. It's all about Wigan now and they haven't closed the gap this evening.
Goal diff was one behind wigan before tonight.

Bookies are rarely wrong, I think in this case around 10pm they might be.
-
Jesus Christ. How the fuck did Lambert think this defence was anywhere near good enough?
And that negligence is why, if we go down, he should be fucked right off out of it.
Too right.
It's why he should have been sacked at Christmas, to be honest. But we'll save that for another thread.
-
This will destroy the fragile confidence of our young players. I think the good run is over.
I worry about this as well. It's just like our good run before the Chelsea game - then that ruined the confidence and we lost a whole host of crucial relegation games. With Sunderland experiencing a spurt of confidence under Il Duce, we could be in real trouble now.
-

Exactly
This is horrible but if we go down it won't be because we lost games we weren't expecting anything from, it'll be the games against shit sides where we got nothing
-
The only possitive from the game so far...... we've had 80% of possession in the last 5 min, im being positive.
-
3 offsides to nil.
It wasn't Van Persie offside for the first.
Not for me , 1st van persie was behind the ball , 2 nd level and 3rd no problem- bad defending not bad officials.
Change it to bent officials we can't spoil the party
-
You now what, I'm think we'd actually have been better off if Lerner had appointed Steve McClaren.
A McClaren baby buggy would have offered a better option.
-
We just need to beat Sunderland and Norwich, easy....

3 offsides to nil.

Can only be offside from a forward pass - the ball was played back to him.
-
When did RVP last score from open play FFS Villa always happy to obige
-

Or really all the points we dropped from winning positions.
-
They aren't even that fucking good. Why the fuck do we just roll over and get our balls kicked by anyone in the top six? It's so fucking embarrassing
-
Good turn Gabby & so close
-
Anyone here listening to the R5 commentary? I couldn't bring myself to listen to it when I heard Alan Green talking about tonight earlier on R5.
same here, he's unbearable at the best of times but there's no way I'm listening to that odious oaf tonight
-
Weimann is a defensive asset to United. Breaks up every attack with a crap pass.
-
Ok some perspective. We were always going to lose and our goal difference is already fucked. It's all about Wigan now and they haven't closed the gap this evening.
Goal diff was one behind wigan before tonight.
And it was always going to be worse after tonight. I'd rather have the points over Wigan than the goal difference. We are still better placed than Wigan IMO.
-
2 weeks ago and even last week Lambert was admirable for the way he was doing things. And now were being beaten with 2 dubious goals against the champions he's all of a sudden shitter than shit who never got anything right.
Sometimes, we really are as fickle as made out.
-
Turns on TV....... select 401........ see score........ decides to do something else.
-
Valencia was off at the start of the move for the first goal.
-
The only possitive from the game so far...... we've had 80% of possession in the last 5 min, im being positive.
That's Guzan taking his time to recover the ball from the net.
-
3 offsides to nil.
It wasn't Van Persie offside for the first.
Not for me , 1st van persie was behind the ball , 2 nd level and 3rd no problem- bad defending not bad officials.
For the last fucking time it wasn't Van Persie who was offside . I give up.
Can only be offside from a forward pass - the ball was played back to him.
-
Still half time approaches and another mumbling incomprehensible to man or beast team talk from Lambert should do the trick right?
-
They aren't even that fucking good. Why the fuck do we just roll over and get our balls kicked by anyone in the top six? It's so fucking embarrassing
They're not the best utd team there's been, but they are good, and that's all you need to be against a defensive set up like ours.
-
Anyone here listening to the R5 commentary? I couldn't bring myself to listen to it when I heard Alan Green talking about tonight earlier on R5.
same here, he's unbearable at the best of times but there's no way I'm listening to that odious oaf tonight
He is not an odious oaf, he is a ******...
-
Fucking hell, I know people are pissed off but all the "we're definitely down", "I hope Lambert falls off a cliff", "Bennett needs to be neutered, Chico's shitting cat would do better than him" is well over the top.
We were always likely to get a pummeling here. We're still capable of creating chances and we're gonna piss on Wigan's chips with ease. So, stand proud with your bollocks out for Chrissakes.
-

Well, for what it's worth, I've thought he was shit all season.
-
Baker might make some camera friendly tackles but his positioning is fucking awful.
-
We just need to beat Sunderland and Norwich, easy....
Dont sound to bad, the only thing is, the sound of beating wigan at home, Southampton at home and fulham at home sounded easy and look what happened :o (
-
Fucking hell Vlaar, you idiot.
-
At least we can bring on our seasoned, energetic, outspoken central player to shore things up in the second half. Oh no, forgot this was a Randy Lerner funded squad.
-
3 offsides to nil.
It wasn't Van Persie offside for the first.

Chillax innit...
-
Valencia was off at the start of the move for the first goal.
We have been outclassed - pure and simple , no point blaming officials for the fact we are 3-0 down, it could easily be more.
-
Fucking hell Vlaar, you idiot.
That was a great clearance
-
Fucking hell, I know people are pissed off but all the "we're definitely down", "I hope Lambert falls off a cliff", "Bennett needs to be neutered, Chico's shitting cat would do better than him" is well over the top.

Don't forget the WIBBLING...
-
There's the difference N'Zogbia just didn't bother tracking Evra.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Benteke, Gabby and Weizmann all playing leaves us short and unbalanced. Add Y'Zogbia and we're really fucked
-
Final whistle?! Phew. Oh......
-
Dire, embarrassing to the club that 'performance'.
-
Valencia was off at the start of the move for the first goal.
And Van Persie was offside when Giggs passed to him for the 3rd.
Cant remember the last time I saw a game where 2 offside goals were allowed, and its only half time.
-
Weimann is a defensive asset to United. Breaks up every attack with a crap pass.
We're the attacking asset to the Plastics. They just have to sit back and wait for us to make mistakes.
-
Dire, embarrassing to the club that 'performance'.
One of our better ones then.
-
Sylla for Zog and shore it up a bit please Paul.
-
It's fine, we're just reversing the roles from the Villa Park game.
3-3, everyone's happy.
-
Anyone seen the orange dot lying around somewhere?
-
Sylla for Zog and shore it up a bit please Paul.
Fuck it! Let's go for the win!
-
Dire, embarrassing to the club that 'performance'.
Agreed pwa- extremely poor in a game of such importance.
-
Time to get some work done. Later taters...
-
I can't say I like the idea of just Delph and Westwood on a big pitch like that. Still, let's see how it goes.
Pitch is the same size everywhere in the PL sir!!
-
Off to walk the dog to calm down and I don't have a dog anymore!
-
Look, if it stays something close to this, I don't think it fundamentally changes anything beyond probably meaning we can't stay up on goal difference. We just need to avoid a thrashing.
There were a few times that we poured too many players, including both full backs forward. Let's shut up shop a bit.
We won't be the first or last team that Man U blow away like this. It helps to prove that we have a shit defence. But it doesn't prove that we are fundamentally shit.
I still maintain that we've played some good stuff going forwards.
-
Games like this are always on the cards when you play like we do. It might be hide behind the sofa stuff on nights like tonight but at least we're finally serving up some entertaining games on a regular basis.
-
Pathetic Villa
-
Off to walk the dog to calm down and I don't have a dog anymore!
Say hello to co££ymore for us.
-
Sylla for Zog and shore it up a bit please Paul.
Fuck it! Let's go for the win!
300-1 if you fancy it!
-
Sylla for Zog and shore it up a bit please Paul.

As above. Rooney having all the time in the world. Only way to have a chance of beating manure is to stop them passing the ball around as they please. Unfortunately we seem content to sit back admire.
On another not Benteke need to stop fannying around with all this showboating
-
We won corners in the 1st half Great stuff.
-
I always used to think it was the hope that killed you, but no actually it's being utterly shit that kills you.
-
What's that, the third player to score a hattrick against us this season? Has that happened before?
-
I don't think shutting up shop would make any difference. They are so much better than us that if we camped eleven players in the box they'd pick through us with ease.
-
FFS 3-0 at half time >:(. Damage limitation is the order of the day now me thinks.
-
Off to walk the dog to calm down and I don't have a dog anymore!
Say hello to co££ymore for us.
That's the first time I've smiled since kick off.
-
One of our issues, other than the obvious, is that we just don't press the ball anyway near enough.
-
I'd just like Man U, Fergie, Van Persie, Theatre of Dreams, 20th title, Sky, Alan Green, Prawn sandwiches, Cantona songs, Old man Giggs, Shrek, glory hunting tossers from Surrey and wherever else.............well I'd just like them all to fuck right off.
Up the Villa, we'll support you evermore.
-
The biggest mistake we made tonight was playing only two midfielders. United, particularly Rooney, have all the space and time they want to pick out van Persie's runs.
Any defence will struggle having to deal with that, ours will struggle more than most.
As for SKY. 'We've got the start we all wanted...'. Fuck off. Did we really stand a chance tonight?
-
They picked the ideal opponents for the game to win the championship. QPR and Reading would have both given them more of a game than we have been able to so far.
-
Neville - a "hint of offside" for at least 2 of the goals. How can you have a "hint" of offside - it's not a fucking wine tasting - they were either offside or they weren't. And they were
-
As for SKY. 'We've got the start we all wanted...'. Fuck off. Did we really stand a chance tonight?
Is that what they said? Thats why i cant bring myself to turn it on
-
I think I'm going to watch Zulu to cheer me up
-
A least 2 of the goals were what Gary Neville is calling a little bit offside. But he says that does not matter because United have blown Villa away. When was that law change brought in?!
-
Damage limitation now please .
-
One of the most bewildering decisions this club has ever made was in January when we opted not to bother buying desperately needed defenders and opted to buy Simon Dawkins and a 12 year old from the French second division.
If we go down we will absolutely deserve to.
We had the chance to bolster a pathetic defence in January and did nothing. That really is dereliction of duty.
-
3 shots on target 3 goals = bastards >:(
-
As for SKY. 'We've got the start we all wanted...'. Fuck off. Did we really stand a chance tonight?
Is that what they said? Thats why i cant bring myself to turn it on
Love reading things like that as it reminds me how wise I was to cancel my subscription to Sky due to those sort of comments in almost every game you watched
-
If a school side had the defensive ability of ours they'd bring back caning specifically for them. Baker, Vlaar and Bennett are abysmal. Lowton is an upgrade to poor. This isn't a reaction to this game, 23 games without a clean sheet is unthinkabley embarrassing.
Only hope of avoiding a Chelsea style mauling is manure getting bored with the game.
-
Big mistake from Fergie. Thought he'd give us a point tonight to help them get their usual six next season.
-

Yep Dawkins has made a real impact.

And a dereliction of duty that serious should have ended in a sacking.
-
On the basis that sending out the same line up for the 2nd half will lead to a twatting, I'd be inclined to stick on Clark for Weimann and go 3 at the back to fox United. Andi is having a bad night.

THREE GOALS OFFSIDE!!! Fuck me, with friends like this bent linesman who needs decent players...
Sorry you are wrong. Nothing at all wrong with at least two. Blame our defence not the officials.
Soorry mate just seen them analysed by ESPN over here in USA and they were all offside.
-
One of the most bewildering decisions this club has ever made was in January when we opted not to bother buying desperately needed defenders and opted to buy Simon Dawkins and a 12 year old from the French second division.
If we go down we will absolutely deserve to.
We had the chance to bolster a pathetic defence in January and did nothing. That really is dereliction of duty.
Very true paulie, we could see the defence needed strenghtening.
-
The awful thing is that I can't understand why United aren't going for more goals. It's so simple for them they could have had ten before half time.
-
3 goals. 3 offsides. Unreal.
The big boys find football easy.
-
KEA for Nzog. God help us.
-
Oh brilliant. El Ahmadi on. That'll sort it out
-
As for SKY. 'We've got the start we all wanted...'. Fuck off. Did we really stand a chance tonight?
Is that what they said? Thats why i cant bring myself to turn it on
To be fair, they said it after we'd just gone close, ie they wanted a good attacking game.
-
totally unreasonable, but can I just randomly thank Richard Dunne for his services to our club. Well played - you were there when we really needed you
-
Had to sit through that embarrassment in that hotbed of Manyoo, Solihull, with the sound of joyous whoops coming from my Manyoo supporting Plastic Manc neighbours.
I have two options: either I go round with my pickaxe or I go to bed.
Thanks again Villa.
-
Things have taken a fantastic turn for the better.
KEA is on.
Think we now have a really good chance this half to turn it around.
-
On the basis that sending out the same line up for the 2nd half will lead to a twatting, I'd be inclined to stick on Clark for Weimann and go 3 at the back to fox United. Andi is having a bad night.
Weimann has been woeful. I'd take him off and go more 4-4-2. And i'd take Zog off as well.
-
Back to work for me!

So our inch perfect positioning and perfect defence display has all been undone by cheating officials. Shucks.

hope we get thos corner past the 1st post
-

got them on the rack!

If they get 5 or 6 I might try and answer that question Neil from The Inbetweeners asked 'how many pieces of Lego can you get up your bum?' probably less painful I reckon.
-
Man v Food was ace. I take it we're losing?
If you can imagine that American glutton as Man U, and a quarter of a cucumber sandwich with the crusts cut off as us, that'll be how this match has panned out.
-
I'm going for a different tactic this half, i'm relying on this thread rather than watching.
-
Bennett really is a poor player at this level
-
I'm going for a different tactic this half, i'm relying on this thread rather than watching.
I did that at 2:0.
-
Stephen fucking Ireland - I forgot he existed. What the hell do we do with him now?
-
Evra should be off.
-
Stephen fucking Ireland - I forgot he existed. What the hell do we do with him now?
Make burgers out of him?
-
Ok so when is Evra going to get a second yellow for persistent fouling and mouthing off?
-
Another absolutely useless free kick
-
Good effort KEA there.

In the case of these 3 goals, that's irrelevant. Sport isn't based on what is deserved or not deserved. It's technically decided.
Those 3 goals were all offside no matter who the teams are.
-

Funniest thing I've read all night, don't be ridiculous.
-

great joke
-
KEA doing exactly what I asked, pressing the ball.
-
The next time the commentator says "champions elect" with such joy I will personally hunt the fucker down and kill him.
-
Ok so when is Evra going to get a second yellow for persistent fouling and mouthing off?
That'd be nice, wouldn't be allowed on the pitch to hold the trophy then.
-
I've actually surprised myself and am staying tuned to this at the cost of missing Game Of Thrones.
[MrsDoyle] Maybe I like the misery [/MrsDoyle]
-
Don't be silly. They can't have a player sent off at the Theatre of Dreams. Especially live on Sky. Especially at Fergie's "Big Special 20 Party".
-
Stephen fucking Ireland - I forgot he existed. What the hell do we do with him now?
Make burgers out of him?
That would be an insult to horsemeat
-
So are we playing better now i'm not watching or listening?
-
Against the remaining teams we play, we will score at least 2 in each match. What odds can I get?
-
Stephen fucking Ireland - I forgot he existed. What the hell do we do with him now?
Contractually, pay him a fortune per week until June 2015.
-
Im still after a client ref number to get a ticket for the wigan game if watching this has put you off ; o)
-
Take away the 3 cheating goals that shouldn't have stood and I'm sorry but we've been the better team.
-
We're playing a bit better because KEA is actually pressing the ball in midfield.
-
So are we playing better now i'm not watching or listening?
Well we haven't conceded a goal in 10 minutes, which is something.
-
Take away the 3 cheating goals that shouldn't have stood and I'm sorry but we've been the better team.

I decided to keep the TV turned on but with the sound off.
I also considered watching the game from behind the sofa as I did with Pertwee era Doctor Who

I didn't think it was there tonight anyway?

Well we haven't conceded a goal in 10 minutes, which is something.
One small step for man................
-
United are letting us play, knowing they can pick us off at will with a 4th offside goal, so we could score if capable.
-
Take away the 3 cheating goals that shouldn't have stood and I'm sorry but we've been the better team.

Yes.

Now that's ice cold. Very good.

Normally I would go apeshit to get a message saying that my wife has set Game of Thrones and Revenge to record so I can no longer watch the channel with the match on. It was actually a relief and I couldn't be arsed to find the +1 channels with these other programmes on to sort it.
-
The last 30 seconds or so was OK
-
KEA is doing a really good job on Rooney, best I've seen him play.

As the co-commentator said, nobody would've handled Man Utd the way they started.
Need to remember we're playing a team about to win the league with 5 games to go by a shit load of points and can win it in front of their own crowd today. I don't think we've been all that bad compared to other matches (Wigan/Spurs/Bradford).
-
There's a bloke with a big nose in the villa dugout.

Any other coach would have played it the other way around. Keep it tight at the start then bring on the showboater.

More concerned about points in other games. All we need now is for Benteke to miss the rest of the season with an injury when this games long gone.

Only when they're confirmed to win the title today. I suppose it's reminiscent of Parkhead when Celtic play. Full-gone conclusion, and everyone else is bored to tears.
-
Guzans had nothing to do this half.

Welbeck for Rooney. And that Boston bomber could face the death penalty - bad planner, that nutjob.

He hasn't had much to do all game in all honesty.

I was gonna suggest 'we hate Villa more than you' when they play them, but in the interests of fairness I won't.

why is Rooney called the Boston bomber?

At least we know Welbeck won't score.

"You are my Solskjær.....".
Remember that mad week?!

Thinking that too. We need one in the next 5 mins, truth be known.
-
its hard to imagine us getting a point here
And it's hard to imagine the point of us turning up here.
-
What. A. Miss
-
Kagawa just missed an absolute sitter, Delph or Westwood completely forgot to track.
-
We are winning the possession stats if we are straw clutching 48% v 52%
-
We don't often fail to score but I think tonight we might.
-
These United strikers are shit without the linesmen helping it in for them.
-
its hard to imagine us getting a point here
It's hard to imagine us playing there anytime soon unless we get them in the traditional 3rd round of the FA Cup away as plucky underdogs from the Championship.
-
I'm upstairs having a shit at the moment so ignore this if they've got their fourth in the last few minutes but I think we've done much better second half.
Keep it three nil and build a bit of confidence and it won't be too bad
-
Its not hard to imagine us scoring a hatfull against Sunderland or Norwich, or conceding another hatfull.
-
"The 3 points are almost secure". Brilliant Alan Parry, just brilliant.
-
Can someone please score. I don'gt care who. Otherwise Lawro is on for a "perfect score"
-

-
Clark on for Bennett
-
Its not hard to imagine us scoring a hatfull against Sunderland or Norwich, or conceding another hatfull.
True enough, this season will turn on an incident, a goal, a miss a decision. Christ it wasn't meant to be like this.
-
Clark on that should do it.
-
Ten minutes to go. The early leavers must have clogged up the M6 by now.
-
Not sure why Baker goes left-back. Him and Vlaar have done as good as anyone when playing together this season. Should Clark not go left back?
-
Theoretically we can still win this game.
-
M20 roadworks are pretty bad tonight so you can't blame the early leavers really.
-

Their positioning has been awful.

Dare I say it losing 3-0 up there is no disgrace, games like this will not define our season.

Baker isn't the quickest but he's quicker than Clark.

At least we only had to have hope for 95 seconds. Much less exhausting than 95 minutes, like in the home tie.
-
Dare I say it losing 3-0 up there is no disgrace, games like this will not define our season.
in the manner that we will have lost it is. It isn't like we battle and at various times succumbed to them being the better team on what will be a big night for them. We gave it to them in such a sorry manner. Shit decisions aside it should have been very different in terms of performance in the first half. That said, if we can come our of the second half with some credit and dignity, I suppose that is something...

No, however what is a disgrace is that every single match we play against this lot it's pretty much nailed on that we won't win. It's a dreadful record and I can't see it changing, ever.

Weimann has had a shocker. Hope he rebounds against Sunderland.

Just hope they don't score again, at least it might give them a bit of confidence.

if it was 0-0 , there would be 7 mins

Relegation threatened teams routinely get turned over by 3-4 at Old Trafford, Wigan lost 4-0 there earlier this season for example.
The disappointment is just like Chelsea away we conceded in 90 seconds and pratically lost the match straight from then. I think starting all 4 of our attackers was too ambitious as we couldn't dig in and stay for 0-0 as long as possible with just two in central midfield.
Goal difference is out of play again I'd say after this.

Thing is had we started with more defenders we'd have sucked deeper and deeper and we'd have beaten just the same. And there would have no threat at all going forward. Not that there was much tonight. Our failing is our lack of belief and our "ability" to give the ball away. You give it to Wigan they'll hurt you at this level. Give to the best team in the league...well you saw what just happened
-
It's a shame they didn't ease up BEFORE they scored the three goals.
-
THREE GOALS OFFSIDE!!! Fuck me, with friends like this bent linesman who needs decent players...
Sorry you are wrong. Nothing at all wrong with at least two. Blame our defence not the officials.
Soorry mate just seen them analysed by ESPN over here in USA and they were all offside.
So our inch perfect positioning and perfect defence display has all been undone by cheating officials. Shucks.
No not cheating mate I never said that just calm yourself down. no it was the linesman's failure to spot all three players standing in offside positions on each of the goals. If we had a cricket type review system all three decisions would have been turned over you cannot deny that sir. I'm not saying that United would not have won the game just want the facts to be stated that's all.
-
Oh dear, effuk. Not the plan. Not the plan at all!!!!
