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

[Pete3206]

We're nearly at the international break so I reckon both sides will go full strength. I'm certain the officials will be discussed at length after this one.

[Bad English]

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.

I think we gathered that, anytime I see an 'x' where it's not really warranted it's usually Basque related.

Ah yes, I had forgotten that everyone knows everything about everything on here. Sorry!

[SaddVillan]

Here are some pintxos I had in San Sebastián last week. They seem to be evolving in a tight diamond, flanked by two wide Gin & Kas Limón with two glasses of albariño supporting. Growing up here eating pintxos may be how Emery developed his tactics. Who knows?

Albariño - should have been txakoli surely?

[Monty]

Txakoli is also very good news.

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

It's a shed on a trading estate with a shop attached.

Your best bet might be to try parking in Altrincham, going for a drink there and then getting the tram to Old Trafford station by the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and walking down to the game from there.

2-0.

Parked for about £5 on the trading estate about 5 minutes walk from the ground last year, just off Chrester Rd, was away in no time after the game

[darren woolley]

I think we will beat them again 2-1.

I make you right Daz. I hope it's a last minute winner this time.

It could have been but two of the party went for Albariño.

[Toronto Villa]

Another chance to put these wankers in their place and another big test for us and the new staff. I imagine some changes. Let’s see how we set up for an away game. We have a manager who has mastered the dark arts of Knick out competitions so hopefully we see some of that success coming our way.

I’ll go for an optimistic 2-1 to us. Ollie and Bailey.

We have already got a thread.

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