Manchester United v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

No real reason, but I have a feeling we will win this 2-1 so that's what I'll go with. Benteke to get both goals.

It's 'The Theatre Of Merchandising And Commercial Opportunities' if you don't mind, or simply 'Disneyland Manchester'

Jack, God Love Him, is just infuriating in so many ways. His pallid features, his cliché-ridden patter, his exuberant carol-singing during the Christmas time visits to Acorns Hospices when he closes his eyes and sings (admittedly not badly) as if his life depends on it. His failure to ask anything remotely insightful practically ever, his psychophancy towards the manager and squad, his "Cheers for that Paul. Top man" trying-too-hard schtick with said staff, his commentary-style reminiscent of a pubescent boy who has spent too long indoors studying league tables and is still kinda scared of girls.
Plus he supports Sheffield shaggin' Wednesday.

QED

Put him out to pasture with Bananaman come June. It's a cruel, cruel summer.

Monday's are bad enough without the thought of MNF and Utd away after a long day at the office. Not looking forward to this, may listen on radio as that could be less painful.

Best hope is the teams around do no damage then anything else is a bonus.

[darren woolley]

I can see a United win 3-1 with Benteke scoring for us.

That'd be even worse imo.   Alan Green spouting off about the referee, or fans in the stands standing up, or obsessing for ten minutes about Wayne Roooonay's future, all the while bemoaning Villa's lack of quality. When all you really want to hear is who has the ball and where on the pitch they are.

Me personally I'm going to watch it with the sound down, from behind the sofa.

Just a thought....its the the 5th anniversary of the Demolition Derby (The greatest Sunday I spent in the Holte End).....another excuse for a piss up tonite....
wouldn't mind having The Great Melberg on monday night at old trafford....Going for 1-1 with Gabby attacking Rafael at every opportunity down the flanks.

[richardhubbard]

This is the game they can win their 20th title so cannot see us winning

[geeeenius1971]

Heart says 3-2 win to us and we can put this relegation nonsense to bed but head says 4-nil defeat im afraid.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Is Gabby going to be fit for this?  He seems to always give Vidic problems.

[Monty]

Something bad will happen here.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Have we ever relegated two teams at once before ?
That is what will happen when we win this.
