Title: How will you follow todays game ?
Post by: Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air on April 15, 2012, 01:24:08 PM
As I don't have Sky and don't want it, I will either get a laptop link or wander down my local.
Nowadays there are so many ways, it difficult to miss. In fact, I feel sorry for a mate of mine who still tries to avoid all scores on a Saturday and watch MOTD without knowing any of the results.

Im going to the game, it's not very often I say this but I think I'd rather be in pub watching it. Can't see us doing anything today.

I have Sky but for the last few seasons I haven't been able to bear to watch us on telly at all.  I will switch off the telly and laptop soon and won't switch them on again until well after the final whistle.  If we've won then I'll record Football First or MOTD to watch tomorrow night.

Incidentally, tonight it's Ford Football Special rather than Football First.  The preview states: "Two games from the Barclays Premier League: Bolton entertain Tottenham at the Reebok ... ".  If Harry really can get his team playing two games on one day maybe he is the right man for the England job.

To be honest I may just not bother and go for a walk with my girlfriend instead. All logic suggests we'll roll over so what's the point?

I'm taking one of my kids to a 4th birthday party at a fun house. I would probably watch it at home through my computer. I'm actually not too bothered about missing it today. I get a feeling we are going to get absolutely slaughtered.

I agree, i have a feeling we could be looking at 5- 0 at best, united will be fired up and with mcleish at the helm we are lambs to the slaughter.

I am going to watch the first half, and go for a run through the second and listen on the wireless most likely.

If the kids are at United, we will never be divided !
I had Villa + 2 goals at 6/5.

As I cancelled Sky Sports in a fit one Saturday after watching a terrible match at Villa Park (can't recall which one) i won't be watching.

 Might catch a bit of it on the radio if we're in the car but I'm not really bothered.

Utd lost 2 on the trot in the league over Xmas, to Blackburn and Newcastle. Not that there's any danger of a repeat today.

On my TV at home. It is live on the telly here. Then tonight I might head out to watch our summer opponents play the Houston Dynamo if i can get a cheap last minute ticket off stub hub.

Won't have sky as a matter of principle. The wife got it me for Christmas a couple of years back and I made her get her money back.

I don't have Sky, at least that way I can moan about them with a clear conscience ;D
PC can't cope with live streams as it's a nail. We never win when I watch us in a pub so that's out.

Leaves me with listening on the radio,  or "watching" it on the match thread.

I won't follow it at all.

When I do this, I just check the post match thread and cross my fingers.

The H&V match thread, nothing like a positive balanced commentary.

Post by: markeeeebeeee2005 on April 15, 2012, 02:48:07 PM
I think my strategy will be to check the score at half time, and see if there is any hope that we might grind out the nil nil that we have all been crying out for. If there is a ray of hope and no one has scored I might put Sky on and see if Villa can manage to stage their own version of the Alamo against one of the elite.

Can't wait!

On Sky at home.

If we're at home I go to the match (unless we're on Sky.)

If we're away I try and avoid the score and watch the match on Football First.

Lol!  I'm the only person who said "Phone alerts/texts/internet score flashes etc"!

But ultimately when we went 1 down I couldn't even be bothered to do that and went to sleep after a big meal.  Did get a little surprise though, we lost by more than I would have predicted.  Really shit being a Villa fan at the minute isn't it?
