Newton Heath LYR FC v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Malandro]

I put twenty quid on Blackburn beating Utd before Christmas. 25-1 before the match.
Villa should be 100-1. (Based on history and current level of shiteness)

Had the offer to watch it on ESPN at my daughter's house ,or I could walk the dogs for a couple of hours go home and nervously look at the result with a crazy hope that we've pulled off what could only be described as a miracle given our current form. Do you think I'll be dissapointed ?

It's on Sky, so I think ESPN is the best place to watch it.

Picking up dog turds in a plastic bag will be more fun.

Picking up dog turds without a plastic bag might be more fun.  The situation stinks anyway.

2-0, easy win for them to get back into winning ways!

After seeing the man city score today, I can't see anything other a drubbing for us tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly, and who better to be playing than us and his good buddy McLeech who will no doubt claim that losing by six to the elite is a good result!

Thank heavens that QPR and Blackburn are both (currently) losing!

[PeterWithesShin]

I was thinking of going round the Strathallan to watch it, but as we've never won when i've watched us there and who we're playing i'll probably just stay in.

[TheSandman]

That whinging Glaswegian ****** has really pissed me off this season. I hope we bury them tomorrow and his mate McLeish costs him the title.

This is a nothing match for us now - we wont be relegated and I doubt we can improve on our current position of 15th
So I hope he lets the kids run riot even if we lose 6-3 at least it will give some cheer to the piss awful season

[Brend'Watkins]

The Man City result puts a little bit more pressure on them.  The problem with that is they're well capable of handling it.  It might be interesting though if we manage to score one early on.

[Rotterdam]

4-0 thumping I think. 

[andrew08]

A free fixture for us, give it a go with nothing to lose, another round of fixtures gone and still 6 points clear. 2 of the next 3 games a winnable. Bring it on

[john e]

i think we will lose big,
  but ironically what would you give for one of those famous Mcliesh type boring nil nils

[avfcpg]

They'll win, it won't be a landslide but comfortable enough to cruise it. 2-0 or 3-1.

I don't even think they are that good this year...shame he won't have a right good go at them. May as well, it like a free game for us after today. Even a 5-0 twatting wouldn't hurt us too much in the GD dept compared to those below us.

One game nearer the end of the season anyway...

[Villanation]

We can do this if we set about them Wigan style, providing we don't get in there with defeat stuck all over us we can get something, even a point is edging us ever closer to safety.

Gabby to get ours, not bothered about there's 1-1.

Side point, "We have a Star",  was in the Supermarket today, guy at the checkout looked a bit pissed of so I thought I would cheer him up, so I said "hows the Liverpool derby going" he said, don't know, last I heard Everton where 1-0, he then went on to say, can't stand Liverpool, anyway providing Spurs win that's all that matters, I said you a Spurs fan, yeah was the reply, I said you got some great talent in the likes of Bale and Co, asking me who I support, I said Villa fan, he winced and said your having a tough time, mind you if you go down can we have (his pronunciation) Agbongolor, great player he said, always scares the b*llox of me, I can think of a couple of Spurs players Arry would let go in part X he said.

I said, Gabby mate is a Villa boy.
