Newton Heath LYR FC v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

I can see Rudolph playing four forwards like he did against Wolves as he will want to bump up his GD again now Citeh have popped four in. Plus he will be ripping into them as we speak for dropping a bollock and allowing Citeh back into it.

First goal is key as ever. If we get it, we can earn a point.

Well after they've lost tonight we'll get the backlash.  On top of this as one of Fergie's former players, McLeish will ensure he'll roll over for him.  3-0.

The kids should go and rip these apart.   2.2

[Des Little]

4-0

[Walmley_Villa]

4-1 to them

Well being as they've just got beaten by Wigan for the first time ever I would imagine that we're going to be on the bad end of an absolutely brutal hiding.

I have the same feeling I had as a kid when you know you are going to get a belting from your mom or dad and you feeling like crying before the first blow is struck.

Keep the Faith.

If wigan can beat them, we can get a point there. I think the pressure is largely off us as I said before, we're all but safe from the drop now. Immense pressure on them after the defeat to wigan and city hammering the baggies. Not a bad time to be going there I reckon.

Might even stay up to watch this one... 

[Greg N'Ash]

Trust bloody wigan to beat them before we play them. 5-0 hammering

[Eigentor]

2-0 Man Ure win suit both parties. Ferguson can have his players stroll to a win and save the energy for later games; McLeish gets a "decent" result.

[Irish villain]

Sticking to my original prediction of a 3-0 defeat. Hoping McLeish tells them to go there with no fear but I can only see a backlash.

[PeterWithesShin]

If we go up there with the right attitude and go for it and close them down fast maybe, just maybe, we might keep it down to 5 or 6.

On a more positive note, an earlyish goal for us may just get the jitters going for them.

[David_Nab]

They are no where near rampent ..they have been poor for a while last night was just the first time they haven't gotten away with it.Qpr were unlucky against them as where Fulham .We do have a chance but we need to keep the bloody ball !

[Hookeysmith]

As always when  they lose i laugh my cock off - then it came back that we are up next against them and my heart sank

Dear oh dear - i bet Fergie is chuffed to bits when he saw the fixtures

As for being out of it

QPR - won last 3 at home - one less than we have all season

We are by no means out of this at all
