I don't think we've been too bad at the back since the re-start. It's the other end of the pitch that's the main problem.
it's been a slight improvement - but still not good enough :(

Dean's pre-match blurb: "We have to maintain our standards defensively and better them if possible. If we do that, we're in the game and we have to make sure that we turn on our quality in the final third."

Got it. So, play better all round then.
Just needs " we go again" at the end of the sentence to be the second coming of PL
I'll go for - pointless optimism 0 defeatist but realistic pessimism 3

You Forget how horrid their fans are until you talk to one. Had a united supporting employee tell me that Grealish isn't good enough for their bench today, and would be annoyed if they signed him and he stopped their better youth players gf trying game time.

Told him he'd be their best player.

Hope we get an unlikely win.

They don't bother me, until you go to Old Trafford and its like they've scooped up everything you detest about football and its dolloped en mass. Fucking twats.

A repeat of season 1966/67.

We win 2-1.  :)

But still get relegated.   :(

I know it’s probably been said before but just wouldn’t it put the icing on our shit sandwich of a season to beat these ****** at home in the league for the first time in 25 years and none of us are there to witness it in person.

Typical fucking Villa.

I absolutely hate this fixture. I have an intense hatred of the red scum and wins over them are so rare. They're bang in form and although we played better at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA', I can only see one result. Us nil them 3 or 4.

At least we won't have to endure their scumbag fans. I remember going to the North Stand on a non-matchday just after that semi final when Giggs scored that goal. A game they won but they still ripped out a load of seats. Heathens the lot of them.

I hate this fixture more than pretty much any other one.

However, my biggest objection is having the vile ****** in our ground in the first place, which isn't a problem this year.

So we're already ahead.

3-0 no fucking bother.

Davis, Davis, Davis.

On one occasion I sold H&V outside the away end entrance at VP. The arrogance and sheer ignorance throughout the 2+ hours was unbelievable. The highlight, though, was when one of them shouted out at the top of his voice directly at me, "Have you won the European Cup?"

"Yes, mate. May 26th 1982 against Bayern Munich." He just stared vacantly at me.

Sounds like them. Fuck all knowledge of the game outside of their own club, and even then........

Pretty sure one season they were singing about how we'd never won the double. Thick ******. As always it's a toss up between them and Liverpool for most detestable fans.
