Manchester United v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

We'll lose.

[berneboy]

I voted for a Villa win, just to be silly.

I voted for a Villa win because I had to.

I'd love to believe that we will get something but I would be fooling myself.

Fairly comfortable victory for Man U I'm afraid. I think we'll score though.

[l_mckay]

Think we'll give away a cheap early goal and then it will be like a training game for them 3-0 defeat.  Be more than happy to be proved wrong though!!!

Directly after the Stoke match I had a quick look at our upcoming fixtures: Fulham at home and Man Utd away.  My immediate gut reaction was: "Fulham, that could be tough, in an after the Lord Mayor's show kind of way..." My feeling about the Man Utd game was much more positive.  I think it has the potential to be high scoring and I reckon we can win.  All the pressure is on the home side, they will not want to throw away the league once more whilst nobody expects us to do anything.  If we play with freedom and attack with pace in the way we know we can, we can get all the points.  Man Utd 2  Aston Villa 4.

A gallant but ultimately forgettable loss.

And it will be the most nervous last 25 minutes ever. We'll be hanging on for dear life, camped in our own 6 yard box.

Rest the key players, its not worth having them injured for the winnable games. Lose and we move on.

I'd play our strongest team then if we're 3 or 4 down with half hour to play then do we a) try and keep the better players fit, so make a few changes, or b) Keep the better players on, as we can't afford for our goal difference to take more of battering?

Manure have not been looking that good lately but we have that one clanger in our locker.

I think we will get an early chance which we will miss and then Manure to score .

Them 2 us  0

[Tom_Mc9?]

We'll get beat, possibly convincingly. We'll win enough afterwards to stay up though.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

We'll take one hell of a beating...which won't do us any favours come last game when we're on the same points as everyone else...

[AVH87]

Dull game, United to win 2-0.

They has got to be worth a 500-1 bet.
