Manchester United v Aston Villa Pre Match Thread...And now, the end is near

[Clark W Griswold]

The way the two forwards played last night at West Ham I can see them tearing us apart.
Get set for the worst, most shambolic humiliation so far from this shambles of a football club.

Yeah I was impressed by Rashford and thought that if Gabby goes we should sign him. I think if Gabby stays though I wouldn't because they are too similar.

[TopDeck113]

Considering how the inaugural Premier League season played out it would perhaps be fitting if the final nail was banged home with us one up on 90 minutes and then losing two goals in "Fergie Time".  However, as it so happens I reckon we'll be down before kick off and be trounced 4-0. 

The irony I will cling on to when the Mancs around where I will be sitting are taking the piss, is that they'll be waving goodbye to an all but guaranteed six points a season.

[SoccerHQ]

I'd honestly just rather not turn up and take the automatic 3-0 and fine than play the 90 minutes which are going to be very painful.

IMO Norwich won't lose so at least United won't have the "honour" of relegating us during the game.

Can't think of a much more appropriate place to get relegated than Old Trafford though. This is one fixture I will not miss from the list next season.

[SoccerHQ]

Anybody who has been at St James' Park the past two season we've played up there and seen how they greet us when we come out the away end will be laughing their bollocks off when they come down with us.

I was up there last season. How it didn't kick off downstairs after the game is anyone's guess.

This thread is on one of their more prominent forums....

Hate us more than Sunderland really, plenty of other clubs fans would've celebrated like us that day. I'm sure Old Trafford have plenty of piss take chants at the ready, it's what football is about really.

It would be brilliant if they went down at Villa Park AGAIN although would probably get quite lively after the game with all the emotion of our last top flight home game for probably a few years. Only thing I'm looking forward to for rest of the season.

What has happened to Veretout since Black took over?

How Bacuna gets a game in front of him is madness. I would like to see him played in a deeper role alongside Gana, with Grealish in front of them, with Green and Traore out wide and Gestede up front. Just have a fucking go.

F**k Gestede off in that team and play Ayew.

4 - 1, Ayew for us. Rashford hat trick and Rooney.

[Drummond]

This will get messy. They've got youth and pace. Our lot couldn't give a fuck so even if  we're already down they won't play with any freedom or anything.

Bunch of wankers.

This would be my starting line up:

We'd probably concede less than whatever turns out on Saturday.

I was always more of a centre half but I'm willing to play out of position to help the cause.

Has anyone been left out for being fat?

[pooligan]

I was reading somewhere the other day that "Webcam" has not scored for them for a year now. Villa just the team you would want to be playing against to get that monkey off your back .The annual 4-0 thrashing

Me. I was down as sub but had too much plums and custard last night. It was very nice though. I always liked plums and custard.

Happy to swap Dave, although I'm 6 foot 3 I really don't like heading the ball.

Hated heading the ball.. I used to hide in plain sight. Make it look like I was going for the ball but always be out-jumped by my opponent. The only times it didn't work out was when my opponent had the same notion. So we'd both suffer the humiliation of being barked at by everyone for letting the ball bounce as we pathetically pretended to be fighting to get there first. I'd just shrug. No intention of heading that thing. My general attitude of can't be arsed, "how long left Ref?" would fit right in this season. Role model.

[Lobsterboy]

It'll be the usual 3-0/4-0 thrashing - would like to see Black at least attempt to win it but fear he'll be looking to go down the avoid getting twatted approach... and failing miserably

Would like to see Bunn/Hutton/Okore/Clark/Cissokho/Gana/Westwood/Grealish/Ayew/Traore/Gestede but fear we'll be watching the likes of Guzan, Richards, Lescott, Richardson and Bacunarsewipe again

When our keeper had it I would make sure I was out wide and in the unlikely event of it heading my way would only get it on the first bounce at least. I was once told to guard the near post at a corner and ducked when it came like a rocket, thought I heard a shout of leave it!
