Manchester United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[claret and blue blood]

so glad I chose not to watch that, this is the first season ever that I would rather not watch us, I've seen some desperate times, the '68-'69 season when 'the board must go ' echoed around the ground and we hadn't got a pot to piss in , but then Ellis and the Doc came and for a few months the pride came back (full house against Santos ).
The folowing season we got relegated to the old Third Division but we were still a proud club and those days were some of the best supporting us.
The graham Turner era whiuch eventually ended in relegation via Billy McNeill , but within a few months Sir Graham Taylor took over and again we got our pride back.
The O'leary final year was bad, but again the following season O'Neil came and we thought we had a future.
BUT THIS IS FAR WORSE THAN ANYTHING IN TERMS OF A LACK OF PRIDE AND HOPE THAT WE CAN RISE AGAIN! SACK HIM NOW PLEEEEEEEAAAASE !!!

What the hell is Weimann's role on the left flank? He was so deep in the latter stages of the first half, I don't understand how that plays to his attributes at all. Gabby didn't get behind their defense a single time. He couldn't run past Ferdinand a god damn time, truly unbelievable.

Despite how unorganized our defense was, which I want to put on the shoulders of Eck and Given, I thought Lichaj and Baker played pretty well. Lichaj was getting a lot of stick on my Twitter feed, but I thought he made 8 or 9 great stops on Valencia.

I just don't get it. I don't know where we go from here.

N'Zogbia on the bench until the 83rd minute when we are multiple multiple goals down. It blows my mind. How can we get any service into our striker without a single winger on the pitch.

Emile Heskey was our best player today, and I want to apologize for giving him some lip throughout the season. Even if I'm not even half as bad as some of the Vila faithful. He brought a different dynamic to our game today that really made Rio/Evans respect our attack... for 10 minutes.

We didn't concede from a corner, I guess that's a good thing.

Samir Carruthers and Charles N'Zogbia have to get more time in the game against Sunderland. I'm expecting to lose that game with how morale is at the moment. Hopefully, we can turn it around on the hop and get something against MXN.

Today hurt, a lot. And I hope you were watching Randy.

Thanks for a wonderful season, cheers.

Now Dwight Yorke thinks we can't win any other games!

I didn't expect anything else from the game,but the fact that Utd didn't have to get out of first gear to turn us over is pretty depressing. And by now Mccleish is probably having a glass of wine with Ferguson,congratulating each other on a job well done.

I suspect McLeish has lubed himself up for something more than a glass of wine from SRAlex

I hope he fuck some sense into him

I'd say he'll probably bang his brains out but that would be impossible where McLeish is concerned.

Missed the match but just seen the goals.  I'm sick and tired of fuckwit pundits saying "it's a penalty because there was contact".  Yes I'm looking at you Dwight Dorke and Ray Wilkins.  No it isn't you fucking morons, it's a contact sport and it has to be a foul for it to be a penalty.  And I'm sick of fuckwit referees reading it the same way.   Ashley Young deliberately treading on Clarke's toe and then launching into an arc dive is not a foul and not a penalty.  But the ref couldn't point to the spot quickly enough.  I thought Young was a diving cheating c**t when he played for us, but there are actually people who claim he's not a diver.  Well that's twice in a week now, but at least he was onside this time. Perhaps the scummy little turd's apologists will see the blindingly obvious one of these days.  If football carries on down this road it won't be long before I've had it with the game.

The club is in big trouble and when you go down this road it will only get worse, its dishonest football we are watching.

No passion, desire, passes going astray - you name it. Why the fuck didn't he start Cuellar? surely you want experience at OT? Plus he's our best defender - something both Houllier before and McLeish now fail to realise - and they can't be arsed to offer him a new contract. The club is an absolute disgrace from top to bottom - particularly at the top! The one glimmer was young Carruthers who showed some nice touches. Lerner, McLeish and Faulkmer - fuck off the lot of you!!!

[Legion]

It's never going to get any better is it? Short of getting Man City type money we're never going to be capable of competing for anything. The difference in class today between ourselves and United was heartbreaking, we're not just a long way behind the top clubs, we're barely playing the same sport.

edit: Whose fucking stupid idea was the 'post review' that pops up when others have posted before you've sent yours? I've just had to resend this post four times because new replies had been added to the thread while I was typing. What fucking muppet thought that would be a good idea on a busy forum??

Yes, it's annoying but it's a standard feature which can be turned off on your profile settings.

He wont go even if we go down, we cannot afford to pay him off.

Apparently, Mickey Mouse wears an Aston Villa watch.

Totally agree- randy lerner is an absolute idiot to trust his money and assets to faulkner and mcleish- we are an absolute shambles on many fronts!

Haha, the only good thing here is that there is no money....

[cheadlevilla]

No fun, no positivity and not much hope all season. This will carry on until RL realises that he's appointed a manager on a par with Billy McNeil which will see us going the same way....

[Irish villain]

Some posters have been suggesting they have it on the inside track that McLeish will be gone.

I'm clinging to that as the one glimmer of hope we have.

Down next season otherwise.

I would not be remotely surprised if we didn't. We have a manager who genuinely manages to look like he doesn't want to win games. He plays for a point.

We finished bottom in 1987 under Billy Mac, at least we won't be doing so this time.
