Manchester United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Stu]

Some bellend in their end had a framed picture of Van Persie; plastic, cockney twats.

Goes further to proving my theory that they're exactly the same as Blues fans, except with trophies.

Imagine how life must be in Manchester/London/Surrey with the ******. Jesus.

Peoples opinions on the goals:
All 3 looked to have an offside element, or am I seeing things?

First 2 were. Hard to tell about the third. Not that sky will dwell on it.

Didn't think they would

My mistake. 1 and 3 were offside. 2 was arguable.

Yes, just looked at paul-e's link. 1 & 3 definite

I hate the fact that Gary Neville is such a good pundit.

Didn't think we were that bad to be honest and could've easily scored.

Have to consider we were playing a team who has shit on everyone in the league and won it by a shit load of points. Tonight they were well up for it. The way they started they would've ripped anyone apart.

I'm more confident after that game of staying up. I think we've got enough goals to come to keep us up.

Agreed, 3 goals that could all have been chalked off for offside as well, for me (all were borderline, none of them clearly right or wrong).

Our problem, again, was the defense played far too high up the pitch.  A lot of the goals we concede are when people get in behind us, tonight it was really obvious with RVP trying to move into space behind Vlaar and Baker every time.  It must be tactical, we've done it a lot the season.  Making the pitch 'small' in that way is fine if you have quick and alert defenders but we don't really and we leave too much space for the ball to be hit into.

Total bollocks you're either offside or not and they were all standing in an offside position at the moment the ball was played therefore according to the laws of association football they were offside period.  You cant be borderline either right or wrong sorry.  The offside law is an absolute.

Best fans in the world...?

Dreadful comment. Clearly his name = terrorist.

Bennett becoming the new Bannan on here I see.

I actually don't think he did too badly after first few minutes and he wasn't the biggest culprit in defence.

Agreed but he's getting pelters on here

I think Joe needs a break, teams seem to be targeting our left side now.  Much prefer Clark and Vlaar in the middle with Baker at left back.

Sunderland is going to be ugly and a battle and we need a strong defence

Yeah I was pretty uncomfortable with that.

Completely out of order and deserving of a ban from this site in my opinion what say you moderators?

I'm sure you didn't mean that the way it could appear, did you?

[ACVilla]

We won't stay up now on goal difference that's for sure.

Rubbish.

[PeterWithe]

The defence was all over the shop, yet again, not one of them looked like they were anything like up to the task first half. Defensively we looked fragile against Reading and QPR, today just embarrassing. The time to strengthen was January.

Yes but that's largely irrelevant now, and in fairness they did pretty well in second half.

Its not going down to goal difference. We will be as good as safe before kick off with Chelsea.
