Aston Villa v Newton Heath LYR Pre-Match Thread

[Villanation]

I get this nagging feeling we will win this 2-1, no idea why.

On the other hand.

After the weekend Man Utd can't afford to slip up again this soon, they will want this badly.

Drugs?

I can't believe people would drop Petrov. Comfortably our most consistent central midfield player this season. I'd play Petrov, Herd and Bannan in midfield in a 433. Jenas to come on if needs be later on.

Wouldn't play Cuellar at right back. He tends to struggle against tricky wingers like Nani / Young.

[Chipsticks]

Need Albrighton and Zoggy B to play to give them something to defend. If McLeish goes with a similar formation to the one the played Tottenham, I might just walk outside and piss on his car.

Big Eck, did you see Palace at Man Ure? Expected to lose by at least 5 goals, they kept and passed the ball and attacked from the start. If Dougie Friedman had a player like Heskey in his squad, he would not have played him. Football is a simple game, y'see.

[Chipsticks]

We're gonna get the backlash of the Newcastle and Crystal Palace games, I'm afraid.

Or on the other hand this might be the start of Man Ure's slow and steady decline from their high horse.

I'm impressed with the job Friedman has done there so far. Small budget but has got on with it quietly and effectively.

should have bought Clyne for 1 million in the summer , instead of 4 million on Hutton .

And that young Saha will be a good player , they have been raving about him at Palace .

[pauliewalnuts]

Talking of Man  United. Did anyone see that goal Darren Ambrose scored against them tonight?

Pick the bones out of this one:

[montague]

He has a history of it

Rather them on a high horse than City.

[darren woolley]

3-0 to United.

[VillaAlways]

Rather them on a high horse than City.

I wouldn't, I'd absolutely love them to be second best to City. Despise them

[Iago]

this might be the start of Man Ure's slow and steady decline from their high horse.

Hope so.

Clyne is so much better than Hutton. Nani - Young is going to take the piss and i can see him getting sent off. If we could kill there confidence early by scoring. Trouble is we have limited possesion and with there squad 70% of them having the ball is asking for a pasting .......
