ManUre v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Displeased]

Baker to blame, as usual the youngsters not accountable for mistakes on here as it's easier to blame Collins. Baker stepped over the ball without knowing the player was behind him hoping to get a goal kick. Could have easily helped it out for a corner being left footed and with his body position. Poor defending!

Agree, Baker at fault

Baker could've easily sent it into his own goal though. Collins is the problem for me. He didn't clear it and we are trying to keep the ball on the pitch, yet every single time he gets the ball he hoofs it. Collins, Hutton and Heskey has to go with McLeish. Can't believe how utter shit we are. Love our youths, but utter shite football. Heads needs to roll

[Fergal]

Anyone think we can score?

The crowd is silent awaiting kick off. Smug glory hunters.

There are UTD fans wearing half UTD half Villa scarves, please tell me there is another reason for this, than they just enjoy playing us?

Am I missing something?

They seem to be popular for all games these days, and I just don't get it. For a non-league club in a cup tie against a big club, yes. For two PL clubs who play each other all the time??

I genuinely think they're aimed at  the day trippers and tourists.

They are, there were loads of them at Liverpool last week.

In fairness, I recall seeing VILLA VS CHELSEA scarves being sold the other day before the game, and I definitely remember us selling VILLA VS BRIGHTON scarves a few years ago when we played them in the FA Cup.

Seems like a daft thing to do, I can see it if clubs have a genuine affinity. But otherwise it's a bit daft.

Yorke on Sky defending Young for the penalty, these previous Villa players never seem to have any respect for their old club when they go to other clubs, especially ManUre and Liverpool.

Wilkins had it right, Young needs to consider his reputation as a diver after these last two penalties.

In fairness, Dwight spoke with a ton of respect for us pre game.

1 win in 12 games now.  Appalling.

Yeah what a great manager we have.

Anyone think we can score?

No, but I have faith that McLeish can deliver us a second half 0-0 draw.

Invariably those players who leave Villa for the perceived "step up" are not Villa men.  Their opinions on Villa are worth bugger all.

Whether it was a pen or not, you know what you might get going into games like this. We should have won games against the teams at or around our level and done as much as possible against the likes of United. We're going to take the kicking we all figured we would. It certainly didn't help that they lost to Wigan and Man City battered Norwich either.

I wonder if this twat of a commentator has an exercise book full of snide, underhand comments about us?

[VILLA MOLE]

can someone tell radio 5 especially that twat savage that we dont all support man utd and dont all want scholsey to shoot from anywhere  wankers the lot of them

[kippaxvilla2]

will you stop saying it was a fukin foul you cretinous moronic pricks.  A player cheated to obtain a penalty kick end of.

[taylorsworkrate]

First half was atrocious, even allowing for the team we have out.

I've got to say that Gabby's 1st half performance was pathetic.

[PaulWinch again]

Good to see that we've started the second half just like we played throughout the first, shite.
