Aston Villa v Newton Heath LYR Pre-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It appears the Plastics team has been leaked:

Plastic FC: De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Jones, Evra, Valencia, Cleverley, Giggs, Januzaj, Rooney, Welbeck

Should know in 15 minutes.

That's probably one of the worst Utd line ups I can recall seeing. I know we're not brilliant ourselves but for the love of God, if Benteke wakes up a bit he could have a field day against that back line. Hopefully our lack of mobility in CM shouldn't be too troubling, going up against Giggs and Cleverley.

Hernandez out.

Excellent. I'd have been more worried about him than Rooney to be honest. We can't handle pace and movement in the box. If we push Rooney back and keep him at 40 yards out we can keep him relatively quiet. I think Hernandez would have a field day against our backline at the moment.

We cant handle anyone with a pulse in the box at the moment...

We'd be fucked if Sean Bean played against us.

We are going to win and Benteke will score, i will tell you why.
3 weeks ago today, during a heavy downpour, i found a tortoise in the middle of the road.!! No bull.
I picked him up and put him in our cactus garden, nicknamed him Benteke, off to work i went.
4-5 hours later, 2 lettuces and a few tomatoes in hand i returned from work.
Benteke had vanished ! I hunted high and low for him, to no avail. I kept looking for a few days, leaving lettuce and water for him, nothing.

I have just got back from work today and i shit you not, Benteke the Tortoise is walking along the path besides our conservatory !!
He is now safely in a nice area, munching on lettuce and drinking his water. Obviously, this must be his pre match meal and routine.

So for this reason and this reason only we are going to win today and Benteke will score.
Happy days.

Oh, and get better soon Mr Shin.

C'mon Villa.

Thought I'd throw a cheeky tenner on Benteke to score first and us to win 2 or 3-0.

Come on the Villa. Gimme some extra dosh this crimbo.
