Newton Heath LYR FC v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

The reality is that we have once up there in about 500 years  - but every time we went i always thought maybe we could catch them on an off day and we had a chance

never before have i genuinely thought that we had not a chance in hell - there was always hope

maybe just maybe it is one of those quirks of the season where United are so far in the driving seat with the title that a total shock could be on the cards - liek when Blackburn beat them etc

then i realised its us and  - nah

A fairly straight forward 3-0 to Newton Heath followed by AMc praising the young lads and talking about different agendas.  In this instance, he'd be right ofcourse - in this instance.

Worryingly I thought this was a thread for the upcoming reserve final at first. It's like I've blocked Sunday's game from my mind.

We have no chance, I'd be happy with a 2 goal loss.

Alex......shouldn't you be out training the boys how to defend set pieces rather than positing on here??

Damage limitation me thinks!

[PaulTheVillan]

0-0

We will play the 6-4-0 formation and huff and puff until they score, then we will give up. Hopefully the younger players will relish the opportunity to play at OT and keep the scoreline a respectable 3-0.

I fear a drubbing - although as suggested Fergie may take pity on one of his old boys and ease up at two or three

dont think there is any game in the history of the premier league that is more predictable than this one will be,
we will lose, any one thinking any different is deluded.
the biggest foregone conclusion ever

that is all

Perhaps as football likes to do on occasion, there might be a surprise thrown up. I suspect at some point the title race might have a twist or yet, and maybe we'll shock Utd, allowing City to chip away their lead a little.

Or maybe (probably...definitely) we'll get twatted.

Heart says Weimann will nick us a win.
Head says we'll get destroyed and Ash Young will grab a couple of goals to rub salt into the wounds.

[Jimbo]

The usual bottom shredding. But worse his time.

[darren woolley]

United to win 3-0.

[JUAN PABLO]

I expect us to lose but I will vomit if we get a hammering and the dick of a manager is laughing and joking with Ferguson at full time.

[Matt Collins]

Looking at Wigan, I wonder if a 3-5-2 formation might be good on a one off basis. Would allow us to play 3 in the middle and have men in the middle to defend. The main risk being their full backs catching us 2 against 1.

Given - Cuellar, Collins, Baker - Hutton, Herd, Gardner, Warnock - Ireland - Gabby, Weimann

Got a feeling this may be 0-0.

Better make that 5-0 to them then.

Utter tonking.
