Come on TV. It's not a "must draw" game. Seriously you can't believe this

We need to keep picking up points. There will be a load of miserable people on here if we drop back into the bottom three if we lose so our attitude has to be go get a win, and at the very least get a point. Burnley beat Man City, drew at Chelsea. There is no reason we can't get something at Man U. I certainly don't look at this as a nailed on defeat. In fact the international break came at a good time because it interrupts the bit of momentum they had going.

We need to try and pick up as many points as we can if possible. Just because Man Utd are not below us dosen't make it any less of an important game.
Nobodies said that.

I didn't say anybody had. We need to pick up points regardless of who we're playing, whether it's QPR or Man Utd. Us getting something against Man Utd would fuck everybody up below us.

If Burnley can beat Man City we can do Man U.  We're not in bad nick and we have players in form.

Exactly. I'm not accepting this defeatist attitude that it's all about QPR. That's exactly how it all goes to shit when you put all of the emphasis on certain games. I'm pretty sure Sherwood will prepare the players to go and get wins at Man U, Spurs and Man City. Lambert would have callit a victory if came away with three losses and only a minus 10 GD. Cock.

I hope we do have a go at them. Going there and playing for a 0-0 won't work as we all know. If we play as we did at the stadium of light anything is achievable.
I'd love to see old Trafford emptying on 32 mins.

I really dislike ManU. I would absolutely love it if we beat them there.

Ron Vlaar says Villa are brimming with confidence after their Tottenham win and head to Wembley in high spirits.

Vlaar was beaming on the final whistle as Tim Sherwood's team earned three valuable points to give us a positive outlook heading into the final five games of the Barclays Premier League season.

Concrete Ron says there was delight after the 1-0 victory - and means everyone of claret and blue persuasion marches to the FA Cup semi-final with belief.

He told AVTV: "I am really pleased. We are all really pleased.

"The relief was in the dressing room and with the fans in the stands.

"It's something we really needed after a disappointing result on Tuesday - a game we all wanted to win.

"It didn't happen then but to come away to Tottenham and beat them at their place is massive for us.

"It also gives us a huge boost ahead of the FA Cup semi-final. We can build on this.

"Everyone worked so hard to get the result.

"I thought we deserved a second - or even a third goal.

"But mentally to get the one goal, the clean sheet and win the game, maybe that's bigger than if we had won more comfortably.

"I thought we didn't give much away - only one chance which Brad saved when it was 0-0 in the first half.

"It was just a massive win and a great day for us.

"We obviously have to get more points to stay in the division, that's the most important thing.

"But we can build on this win and look to play really well in the semi-final against Liverpool."

He was magnificent on Saturday; a couple more at Wembley will do nicely Ron, and would make nobody resent you moving on in the summer.

Yep he was excellent on Saturday. Him and Richardson came back very well.

It will be Vlaar and Baker against Liverpool and that isn't bad at all. I am concerned at full back but hopefully at least Hutton will be back. Richardson versus Sterling is a concern though but it was good to see Kieran put in a good shift this past weekend. Delph will need to be all over Coutinho though as that will be their supply line.

I don't want to beat to the bindippers' drum, but I would consider playing Okore as a deep lying midfielder in the Sanchez role and putting him on Coutinho. It would also give us extra presence at set pieces where they are non too clever defensively (mind you, nor are we offensively)
