Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

[oldtimernow]

what a pity....a win there would have set us up nicely for Christmas


need to see that red card for Gabby and the yellow for Blackett to check if there was a difference...can't argue about Brad's though  ..he probably told Mason what he thought of him

[supertom]

Despite the refs best efforts I thought we did well today. Credit to the boys for coming away with a point. 
The back three were very good today. A moment of real class from Benteke as well. Delph provided plenty of energy, even if his passing and set pieces were erratic. Sanchez is really looking the part now. Guzan was dominant today.

Can't really complain about a point against these feckers. It beats the usual roll over and die routine.

[Meanwood Villa]

A point more than many, myself included, expected. Well done lads.

Congratulations to anyone who had 'innocuous 50-50 challenge' in this week's How Will The Ref Find A Bemusing Way To Reduce Villa To Ten Men Raffle.

The Guardian's take on it:

Blimey - looking at the replays of that Agbonlahor decision, and that was an absolutely rancid decision. It might have been a yellow, but only just. Lee Mason, may you be spanked with a wet slipper.

[Proposition Joe]

That was a lot better than our usual showing against them.  We even looked threatening from corners and crosses!

Red card will be rescinded: you give red for that, every game will end up five-a-side.

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds like Benteke wasn't happy that he wasn't the target for the final cross. Still whenever we don't lose to them I'm happy.

Dogged display and a well deserved point.  Well done Ashley, nice to see you cheat your best mate.

Just watchign John Hartson opine that it was a definite red. What bollocks.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I said in the match thread that our players make some baffling decisions at time. A shame because so many could lead to goal scoring opportunities. I'm not even sure what the solution is.

[Goldie.7]

Excellent performance. I thought we played very well without Gabby and maybe even should of won it.

Never a red card but That line-up at the end plus one extra player is how we should start against Swansea.

Did we miss Cleverley today, going off that performance you'd have to say nope.

Hahaha Rooney saying it's 2 points dropped, you almost lost it at the end there Wayne.

[Stu]

These ****** get a daft decision against us? Orly?

He may be a nice bloke, but he's an awful pundit. He also pronounces it 'pelanty.'

Ah poor old Wayne, did we not step aside for you today?
