Villa v Manchester United pre-match thread

Go on then, get started. 

[OzVilla]

On a positive note, at least their fans wont be able to run on the pitch this time.

[Toronto Villa]

One of the most out of form teams in Europe vs one of the, if not the most in form team in Europe. A team that can't score a goal, versus one that has multiple 20 goal scorers and new teen sensation who now has 9 goals in 8 games or something like that. The good news is they have De Gea. I'll go for 1-0 up with 2 minutes to go and a late goal by Scholes to win it for them after Giggs equalizes. Or maybe they bring on Macheda as their 5th sub

More valiant losing methinks. It's a free hit, might as well go for it.

Do we have to? For the 100th time in our history we're playing them at exactly the wrong time.

Could've done with playing them in January instead of Man. City. We played really well at Old Trafford in November but they were starting likes of Lingard, Periera and Mata back then.

I said before the Liverpool game I thought of the two Man. United were more likely to give us a bigger hiding so I think we'll lose by a three goal margin.

Simply have to go all out for the 3 points v Palace regardless of what happens on Thursday.

In a funny way thought I'd be interested to see how BCD impacts on this fixture. VP is like paranoia central whenever Man. United cross the halfway line if we're a goal up given the history of this fixture in last 20 years so at least that won't filter down to the players this time.

Ugh. I haven't missed this game.

Us 6 them 0

[Legion]

Is it our place or theirs?

[Legion]

Oh. Ours. 0-4.

[Brazilian Villain]

Is Didier Six doing anything these days?

[Mossie Hennebry]

Keinan to keep Maguire occupied. I can't see them not scoring, so 2-1 - Jack, Conor and Martial.

[gpbarr]

More misery and another inept coaching performance. No doubt complaining about too many games, poor lambs.

0-3

[sickbeggar]

0-something

[eamonn]

There is a quick turn around to the Palace game on Sunday. Some of our players will be fooked after this. I'd be tempted to rest/drop McGinn so that he's not blowing out of his growing arse on Sunday.

Heart is hoping for some Mortimeresque running and scoring for us from anywhere to conclude MOTD later that evening. Head is telling me we’re going to huff and puff and they’ll undo us several times 0-2
