1-0 Villa, Bryan Small to score a cracker in his annual Manyoo run-out.

The only player Fergie was ever worried about  ;)

It is very noticeable that all of AM's statements (see OS today about the December games) are about defending and tackling.  Not about passing the ball and threatening the opposition, to keep them on the back foot.  Oi, Big Eck: attack is the best form of defence.

I know. He keeps going on about 'character' and 'aggression' and 'dynamism'. Oi. Eck. What about the pissing ball, Eck?

Not a bad side, but i would'nt play Bannan out wide, he's played there before and he wasted on the wing.

We haven't lost against Man Utd at home for quite a while now.

A tiny defeat would be bad. A massive defeat would be unacceptable.

If he sets us up to defend all the way through the game then he's gonna get hear what it's like to be in hell.

Bet you can't wait.

Should we beat them I assume you will you be shouting your approval of AM from the roof tops?

I could live with that, BB sitting centrally behind Bent. I'd even consider MA instead of Nzog

All the Brummie reds I know are just Blues fans who come from a long line of Blosers and have turned into a glory hunter to get bragging rights. They mainly know sod all about being a proper football fan.
