Aston Villa v Manchester United Match Thread

He dives a lot I think.

Think Westwood and Bannan will be too lightweight tonight but at least we'll have a go with 3 strikers and Ireland on the pitch even if I expect Gaby and Weimann to play out wide and help the fullbacks.

I don't watch much football outside of Villa these days.  I'd forgotten Young is at Utd, how has he done there?   

Very good first season, mostly injured second season.

Thanks.  Will be interesting to see the reaction he gets tonight.

I go for the 14th minute for the first time Young goes to ground easily and waves his arms around wanting the freekick.

I'd guess it'll be generally negative after his dive in the away game last year. First time we've played against him since then I think.

Come on you Villa boys do these manc bastards

The little look up to the ref. Followed by the inability to do anything but lie prostrate on the ground for thrity seconds. The slow getting up to his feet before he does the little skip/hop thing he does. Two minutes of a slight hobble before he is right as rain again and ready to take another dive. The predicatbility of it all was very funny when he played for us now its just fucking annoying.

Hopefully Vlarr will put Young into row z very early on

Ah yes, I forgot about that.  Roundly booed from start to finish then!

That hobble of his annoyed me when he was with us. Get up, hobble and 30 seconds later be running full pelt.

The hobble!  It's all flooding back.  Hobble, rub shin, skip.  Sprint.

Dwight Yorke is an awful pundit.

I'm surprisingly relaxed right now. I think it's because i'm not at the game and fully expect us to be twatted. If we dare take the lead i'll be straight into cardiac territory.
