Manchester United vs Aston Villa League Cup 3rd round pre-match pintxos

[Monty]

This putting food and drink in the thread titles is twee, TBAR nonsense. Please desist.

Don't think TBAR are discussing their favourite northern Spanish dry white wine.

[cdbearsfan]

I don't think they've discussed anything since about 2017.

[Monty]

Touché!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We're on 6/9 points since the food references began, good idea to keep it going.

And of course pintxos are a nod to the Basque Country where Emery was born.

Indeed. I did have a smile yesterday at the Villa fan in the Holte who'd brought a Spanish flag to welcome Unai. Beijing Villan 4 Lyf? A Basque flag, now that would have been beautiful.

Did we do them in the league/League Cup in quick succession back in '92 or '93 ?

[cdbearsfan]

October-November 1992.

[Bully2345]

Pick the first team, whether that's the same as Sunday or one or two tactical tweaks. We're trying to win this.

No daft stuff to give reserves a game

[cdbearsfan]

It can't be the same as Sunday as Dendoncker is cup-tied. I'd be tempted to put Kamara in for him, promote Archer to the bench, and not change anything else.

[RamboandBruno]

Looking forward to this one. Haven't been to their place since the 1996 FA Cup semi final.
Any advice on parking and places for a pre-match pint?   UTV

Ive paid £8 to pre park in the nearby Tesco Express

Isn't Bednarek cuptied

Not according to Flashscore unless that isn’t a full picture. I’ll dig around

[PaulTheVillan]

Yes. Bednarek is cup tied

[cdbearsfan]

Bednarek and Dendoncker both cup-tied.

Going to this on Thursday. Looking forward to it. I’m sure the Villa fans will make their presence felt. With our numbers we need to be putting pressure on the referee to ensure decisions don’t all go their way.
Optimistic after yesterday, after all it’s an Emery team playing manu.
Come on Villa boys! UTV!
