Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

I hate ManU, I really do. I hate their slimey fans who are almost universally not from Manchester and I hate losing to them.

[PaulWinch again]

I hate the fact that they're having their first bad season in over two decades and some of their fans hire a plane to kick up a fuss. I hate the fact that they're having their first bad season in over two decades and yet they still beat us by three clear goals both times they played us.

 I hate the fact that they were there for the taking yday, poorly organized at the back, vulnerable mentally, and we didn't have the players to be able to take advantage of that.Too many non-penetrable passes, nothing that really hurt them.We had more attempts than them, but apart from CB we had no one who looked like scoring.We are a poor team, they are a poor team, that is the most disappointing thing, we should have beat them yday.

I agree. And Helenius. We are as good as safe now barring a freak run of results so i'd start blooding a few of them.

It's a pity Grealish isn't around, would like to see him going into next season with a start or two under his belt already.

what happened to Carruthers

He has knee injury - posterior cruciate I think.

One thing we've seen a fair amount this season is that when a team is there for the taking, we invariably fail to take them, yet are more likely than most to take something when the opposition is not considered to be there for the taking in any way, shape or form.

Watching the graphic on MOTD of how well Saints three English attackers have done all season compared to our fun boy trio - Gabby and Weimann have, what 6 goals between them, made me sigh. Imagine someone of Lallana's talent and beard at the Villa. We'd be set-up for life.

We'd soon drag him down to our level.

We've arguably had two players with his talent at Villa in recent years - Ireland and N'Zogbia - and both have been workshy charlatans. 

[Goldie.7]

Has anyone mentioned Westwood? Quality all game. Unfortunate we don't notice when everyone else is so rubbish.

He got some praise from page 1 onwards.

[pbavfckuwait]

To many players not at the races and we cannot afford that, defence awful, Gabby and Andy what do they contribute.

[Rigadon]

I think most other teams in the league would've cone away with at least a point yesterday. 

Most other teams?

Yes.

Ireland moaning about his time with Villa on Sky web site. Funny I remember moaning about watching him with his hands on his hips for the majority of his career. 

God I hate footballers

Given the way Villa are playing and our luck, I hope your right, but if we lose to Fulham we might still slip into the mire. A bottom six position still looks a possibility.

[Simon Ward]

This is what I said on the pre-match thread:

"We will play them back into form"

I'm not used to being right!

Ireland deserves a slap.

Actually scrub that - Ireland deserves a full blown beating.
