Aston Villa vs Super Big Six Man Utd pre match thread

[SoccerHQ]

Have a horrible feeling we could take a right beating in this one. They struggle against teams who sit in deep with a low block. But that's not something we ever do. I'm expecting Watkins to cause a few problems but little else.

We were doing it no problem start of the season, Leicester away was textbook example of how to play it.

We've actually played o.k v them with DS in charge. Had proper gos in both games at Old Trafford and we actually started the VP game end of last season o.k before the annual ridiculous penalty and then we gave up/conserved energy for Palace which was a clever decision in the long run.

I think if we score first we'll get a point. Don't really want to concede early v them. They weren't great v Leeds last time who held them to 0-0 comfortably.

It was a good performance against Everton last time out. Carry that forward and  I have a good feeling about this one (buoyed up by getting into the ballot and going for a beer in 30 mins). We will win by 2 goals

Well let’s hope they have a rough journey and game in Rome.
With a game 4 games in a week it will be interesting to see how Gollum rotates his team.

Gollum? They sacked Moyes years ago!

[Footy-Vill]

Man Utd playing a strong lineup Vs Roma tonight I see, well then they will be rotating on Sunday !

[Hockley Lion]

Let's hope they leak goals against us as they did against Roma. Utv.

[steamer]

Cavani has been a great signing for them, lets hope he is rested

[Witton man dem]

Ooh tar ooh tar to be a Wittoner !

We need to win this one, the finance director where I work is a Utd season ticket holder - he told me this week that he wished he was a Villa fan because then he would not be to upset when we lost, because it would be expected in a lot of the games during the season!!!

He said when you are a United fan the team are expected to win every game!

Well isn’t that the reason he supports them in the first place.

Probably a corporate type only got in to football August 1992.

I don't know about anyone else but I am really enjoying late season mid table boredom. Following Villa since 1977 has usually been a case of feast or famine and very rarely something in-between. I am experiencing a kind of zen calmness which I rarely associate with supporting 'The Villa' especially at this stage of the season.

Oh yes 1977, do you remember the chip shop opposite the Holte End on witton lane ?

Another defeat, another Fernandes penalty unfairly awarded, and my annual feelings of impotent rage. There is no point whatsoever watching it.

There is no other possible outcome, and wouldn't be even if they were bottom of the league.
