Manchester United vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread Saturday 29 March 12.45

[AVH87]

They are under massive pressure to win this after getting turned over by Liverpool n Money City in their last 2 home league games. Moyes is also under pressure to put up a decent fight against Bayern IMO or he could well find his days numbered.

Anyway, back on topic, the Villa. KEA out is a blow if he doesn't make it. I really do not want to see Sylla starting, would rather bring Gardner back (is he still at Sheff Weds?) or Lowton at RB and push Bacuna into CM.

Albrighton probably deserves a start over Weimann, if Lambert has that decision to make should Weimann be back to fitness.

Prediction is a 3-1 home win, our goal a late consolation.

They are hurting badly and will want to give something back to their fans.

We, in turn, sank to new depths against Sturk. We will get mauled.

I bet you wish you were still in Barbados?

Where's the poll? I think we'll lose.

I attempted to add a Russian/Crimean style poll but accidentally pushed the go button before completing it. I am sure one of the Mods will correct it.

I like Sam Baileys prediction. She's probably never seen a football game in her life.

She's an ex-footballer and a regular attendee at Leicester matches.

[Witton Warrior]

Best poll ever?

What a pig's ear you made of that. Edit your original post to sort it out young man.

Okay I really do like it then.  I thought all Leicester fans hated us with a passion.

[Ron Manager]

I would definately play Albrighton in this match. Old Traffords pitch is large and would suit him. We were uniformly dreadful against Stoke and need to put on a show up there.I dont mind losing as long as give a good account of ourselves and score a couple.

LOL. I probably will do by 2.45pm tomorrow!!

[Steve R]

The depths they have plumbed are far more unfamiliar to them than ours are to us. We'll stuff them.

[Simon Ward]

We will no doubt play them back into form!

A Villa win would be great but what's even better is the fact that 12 months after our defeat there confirmed their title win  - this year a win for us will make it mathematically impossible for them to retain it.

Ironic!

[Weedy]

Moyes to be physically assaulted on the pitch at the final whistle by a pissed-up, beetroot-faced Scot, an even more pissed-up Geordie with shady Black Country connections and a short, fat club singer who looks like Charlie Drake.

Or Michael Knighton juggling his balls.

Villa leading 2-1 until, in the the 90th minute, a pissed-up, beetroot-faced Scot in the stands nods at the Phil Dowd look-a-like referee who awards 8 minutes additional time.
You know the rest.

More of a coincidence.
