The Famous Aston Villa vs Brummie Red Scum of Humanity Man Utd Pre-Match Thread

Predicting a late kick off.

I'd be late even if I lived in the city.

[RussellC]

I'd make 3 changes in total. I'd bring Hutton in for Bacuna, Sanchez in for Veretout and Gestede in for Sincalir or Ayew, with Gabby moving to one of the wider attacking positions.

Thing is we have to beat them at some point, maybe the shift to a Friday night will break the curse.

48,000 people minus the glory hunters in the corner face yet another frustrating match against the unbeatables. I'll be shielding usual pain by watching in a pub with fish n chips in Cornwall.

Where in Cornwall are you?

Today is the day!! There I've said it (Must have had a good sleep or something coz up to last night I was sure of the same old same old).

You'll be surrounded by Man Yoo supporters then.

I know we lost this game, but the link below is to villa v man united in September 93. The last truly top class villa side. Some of our attacking play was fantastic that night, especially Dalian. Bloody awful defending though, including from McGrath.

Gave up my season ticket when my lad started working Saturdays but my "mate" is on holiday so I have his - front row, right of the dugout :-).

I've seen them win, not beat us, too many times - I even bust a telly when they won at theirs with that stupid twat scoring a lucky hit in the last few minutes.

But as the earlier poster said - this is a freebie, no-one expects us to win so fuck it, lets put the new boys in and have a go at them - they wont have any "history" of playing these wankers so why not.

2-1 at 20/1 - I'll have some of that!

Me too. I'm in the North stand.

No idea how this one will go. We have a lot of new players settling in and TS has to find his best team. Our season is about improving on the last, going upwards so not to fussed if we lose this one.....but love to beat these c*ck-rots.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Hopefully the journo's will be dusting off the old cliché about sleeping giants waking up after tonight's game.

[PaulWinch again]

For the first time in years I am genuinely excited to see what our team can achieve.

[john e]

I came to accept a long time ago that I will never see another win against them in my lifetime

[Toronto Villa]

what an atmosphere it will be tonight. On the back of a win, first home game, versus that lot, full house, at night under the lights and to round things off Adama being introduced to the fans. Fantastic!
