Manchester United vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

One of our issues, other than the obvious, is that we just don't press the ball anyway near enough.

I'd just like Man U, Fergie, Van Persie, Theatre of Dreams, 20th title, Sky, Alan Green, Prawn sandwiches, Cantona songs, Old man Giggs, Shrek,  glory hunting tossers from Surrey and wherever else.............well I'd just like them all to fuck right off.

Up the Villa, we'll support you evermore.

The biggest mistake we made tonight was playing only two midfielders. United, particularly Rooney, have all the space  and time they want to pick out van Persie's runs.

Any defence will struggle having to deal with that, ours will struggle more than most.

As for SKY. 'We've got the start we all wanted...'. Fuck off. Did we really stand a chance tonight?

They picked the ideal opponents for the game to win the championship.  QPR and Reading would have both given them more of a game than we have been able to so far.

Neville - a "hint of offside" for at least 2 of the goals. How can you have a "hint" of offside - it's not a fucking wine tasting - they were either offside or they weren't. And they were

Is that what they said? Thats why i cant bring myself to turn it on

[Colhint]

I think I'm going to watch Zulu to cheer me up

[paulcomben]

A least 2 of the goals were what Gary Neville is calling a little bit offside. But he says that does not matter because United have blown Villa away. When was that law change brought in?!

[Fin Feds Dad]

Damage limitation now please .

One of the most bewildering decisions this club has ever made was in January when we opted not to bother buying desperately needed defenders and opted to buy Simon Dawkins and a 12 year old from the French second division.

If we go down we will absolutely deserve to.

We had the chance to bolster a pathetic defence in January and did nothing. That really is dereliction of duty.

3 shots on target 3 goals = bastards

Love reading things like that as it reminds me how wise I was to cancel my subscription to Sky due to those sort of comments in almost every game you watched

If a school side had the defensive ability of ours they'd bring back caning specifically for them.  Baker, Vlaar and Bennett are abysmal. Lowton is an upgrade to poor. This isn't a reaction to this game, 23 games without a clean sheet is unthinkabley embarrassing.

Only hope of avoiding a Chelsea style mauling is manure getting bored with the game.

[Ross]

Big mistake from Fergie. Thought he'd give us a point tonight to help them get their usual six next season.

Yep Dawkins has made a real impact.
