Come on Villa boys, let's do these today! Make no mistake this is a big game for them when Aston Villa come to town. Their theatre of silence won't know what's hit them when the Villans from Aston show up. Sing long and proud.If we can play for the full 90+ minutes, take advantage of our dead ball situations like last Monday and have unbiased officiating (slim chance of that really) we can get something from this game, hopefully 3 points! Come on Dean Smith's claret and blue army! UTV!
If United play like they did for the first 70 mins at Brammall Lane, we'll win, but if they play like they did for the last 20 minutes, then it'll probably be the same old story. Here's hoping for the former.

We also had those 4-4s at Spurs and Chelsea in 07/08.I think we've only scored more than 1 up there 4 times since winning 3-4 there in 1930. The 3-2 you mention, the 1-2 win in '83, a 2-2 draw in 1962 and 3-3 in 1980.

I’d take a point if offered now
