"Bannan is a dirty c***" ??"

Nice to see he has upset the Gloryhunters - total nonsense to call him dirty - too skillful and committed to be dirty.

Overheard a conversation between football fans in a café this morning. Apparently Aston Villa, in the process of outplaying United, played the most beautiful football of the season so far yesterday.

Made my day to hear that!

That GlastonSpur gets around a bit, 4k posts on a Man Utd forum and a regular on VT as well.

I met a Utd fan last night at a 'do', whilst seeming a thoroughly decent bloke he said 'Fair play to Villa, any team that gets two against United has done very well' which for some reason pissed me off no end, I'd have preferred if he took the piss about us throwing the win away.

Then what does that make Paul Scholes?

Quite.  I was thinking last night about some of the comparisons on here that people had made with Bannan to Scholes - and I thought that is a major part of Scholes game, which Bannan certainly doesn't show.

That would make Scholes a serial killer, turd fondler and mandrill fellator. And don't even mention that demented Scandinavian  pixie aka  the  baby faced assassin.

So they have a thread just on us..Great and this one  could have been posted bu one of us:

"Villa have, and have had for several years now, a top notch defense, a load of exciting young attacking players, and living embodiments of mediocrity in CM. Barry, Milner and Petrov are all as precisely average as a CM could ever hope to be, the fact that they've lost two of those are still the exact same team says it all. The supporting cast (Sidwell, Reo-Coker and Delph) are all as close to being poor as you can be without actually being so. Ireland is an emphatic question mark.

Houllier, for the love of god, sign some proper holding midfielders. "

Have a read of their Match thread on Red Cafe. Sometimes I think I talk complete bollocks about football, and then I read something like this...

Hard to include Delph. We haven't seen a lot of him ourselves and he had a good 50 odd mins against ManU in the home game last season. I'm guessing they are saying that as he is ex leeds.

I liked the one who said when you see Barry Bannan all you see is Barry Banana. Not just us then. But the one who said he was dirty was strange. Apart from the one trip I didn't see any dirtyness. maybe he was seeing Nani and thought he was our player. The guy couldn't even get his location quote right either

Watching the highlights back again and you realise how well Bannan and Albrighton played. Bannan did all the things that you'd expect a Barcelona young star to do and more: the creativity, the intelligence, the calmness and willingness to play under both mental and physical pressure - it was all there. Albrighton made one of the best left-backs in the world look like a part-timer at times, and both of their performances defensively were top class. So incredibly exciting to have them coming through.

[PeterWithe]

Garth Crooks has Evra as the left back in his team of the week on the Beeb and does not include any Villa players, this is proof, if anymore were needed, that the bloke is a fucking cretin.

Before the game, with our central midfield pairing having the grand total of 1 league start between them, I feared the worst. Bannan and, to a lesser extent, Hogg completely outshone the experienced internationals Fletcher and Carrick. Interestingly, of the 18 players in the squad yesterday 11 have come through the Villa academy system.

[Archie]

Yesterday's game must be divided into two parts imo, before Delfouneso (BD) and after Delfouneso (AD)
BD  we were asphalting Manu and deserved to win 3-0.
AD we have been overwhelmed, Nathan wasn't able either to hold the squad high, either to defend (poor opposition on Nani's cross) and to engage Vidic (who scored the goal).
Awful.
But apart from Dunne all the lads had a great game yesterday.
My ratings:

Friedel 7

Young 6
Dunne 4,5
Collins 6,5
Warnock 7

Albrighton 7,5
Bannan 7
Hogg 6
Downing 7,5

A. Young 6,5

Agbonlagor 7
(Delfouneso) 3

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

A bit harsh on Dunne there Archie imo.
