Villa v Manchester United pre-match thread

[TonyD]

We are 9 to 1 to win tomorrow night at home. 

I doubt in our vast glorious history that such odds have ever been that bad.

Worth a tenner.

Have just done that with bells on.    UTV

I've gone £14.06 at 19/2.

Alea iacta est.

He’s going with Smatta and Davis up front. So at least a bit of positivity up front.

[Legion]

Is he?

[aldridgeboy]

Yes mate. Trusted source. I posted the team for Liverpool the day before in the pre March thread the other day.
Stupidly I didn’t ask whose dropped!! I assume Trez but that’ part is a guess.

So midfield and attack of;

SJM
Luiz
SJG

AEG
Davis
Samatta

[Nii Lamptey]

Us 2 Them 3
Plucky defeat snatched from the jaws of a plucky win.

[Scamps180]

 I think I would play samatta and vass up top and tell an not to let the defence settle, take it to em,we sit back time and time again with one forward who just isn't mobile enough and we will always wilt towards the end, show some nuts and fight it out with em

[Villa Lew]

A repeat of season 1966/67.

We win 2-1. 

But still get relegated.

The last time I saw us beat them was in 2009!

Last time any of us did. Previously it was 1999 and 1996 and 1994. 4 times in 26 years, ergh.

[Clampy]

The last time I saw us beat them was up at Old Trafford under MON.

[pauliewalnuts]

My favourite win against them was the Didier Six match - 1984.

Hate these games, having them so close to the end of the season feels like an extra kick in the bollocks. Like wading through that huge tunnel of shit in The Shawshank Redemption only to come out the other side and find out you've just tunnelled into the Saw franchise.

Hello CD, let's play a little game. You're 2-0 with 5 to go. The rules are simple, do you shoot yourself in the left nut and lose 3-2 or the right nut...and lose 3-2?
