Manchester United v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[AV82EC]

I'm being ridiculously optimistic and going for 5-0 to us as we still owe them for not shoving that past them back in October.

Good to see Ferguson showing us some respect by resting half his first team today knowing the mighty Villa are arriving on Tuesday.

1-1                            Bent and Berba

Bonus Points.  anything will do that isnt a thrashing, its more about keeping the 'spirit'.  that said a 0-1 result would be rather dead good

[villa1]

1 - 1.

Downing.

[Legion]

Will we be the team that takes their unbeaten Premier League record? I bloody well hope so. I really think we can.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I hope we will nick it after being 1-0 down in last 15 minutes then see us score at 92 minutes and Alex Ferguson will be a happy angry bunny

[Chipsticks]

0-0 bore draw please.

[Lobsterboy]

Everyone keeps telling me they won't go the full season without a defeat but not sure we are going to be the ones to take their unbeaten record.

I think Man Ure will sneak it 1-0 but would absolutely love it if we beat them!

[gervilla]

0-0 bore draw please.

That will do me. Plenty points in the games after this one are for grabs.

It's about time they lost a match.

2 - 1 to us.

Bent (11), Collins (55). Nervous late on when Scholes scores on 86.

[Phil from the upper holte]

United are beatable. We will do it

[Lambert and Payne]

Would love to say we'll beat them, but cant see it.
Newton 3-1 Villa
Giggs           Bent
Berbatov (2)

Wow.  So many predictions of a Villa win on here.  I can't see it myself, this is Man U at Old Trafford and we have had our 26-yearly-win there last season so I'm going for 3-1 to them.  Nani, Berbabtov, Rooney.  Downing for us.  Shame we had to play them now as it'll bring our run to an end, still, we can pick it up again starting with the Fulham game.  This one is a write off for me and anything would be a huge bonus.

Our confidence has never been better this season.  I really think we can upset them. 

1-0 to us, Bent scuffing one in early on.
