Man Utd vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Flamingo Lane]

Two extra days rest for us and, just as importantly these days, preparation, will help us get at least a point out of this.

[D.boy]

We did the double over them when we beat them in a cup game at Villa Park (Deano scored) and then Dalian got the winner the following weekend at VP (if my memory serves correctly). I know this doesn't count as the double but it's the closest we have got). I would love us to turn them over this weekend.

[Toronto Villa]

Think this is a good time to play them so I've gone for a win, and another hoodoo vanished.

We won there last season. Beat them at our place this. But we certainly need to get more wins overall against them.

[Nev]

Marvellous to go into these games with confidence and optimism but it's still tough.
I haven't seen anything from them to frighten us and it may be the lack of rotation due to personnel and the spectre of the officials and VAR that may knock us back.

I'm having none of it though, I think the Manager and players will relish this and so will fucking I!

0-2

I was referring to doing the league double over them in the same season. Obviously that will come if we are beating them more frequently.

About time we did the double over this filthy bunch of scumbags. 2 - 1 to us.

Will need to be on our A Team to get anything.  Do you believe in the Villa as Big H would yell

[TonyD]

FTFMSCs. 

[Axl Rose]

They'll win by cheating.

[PeterWithesShin]

We've taken 7 points from the last 3 league games against them, it will be 10 from 4 games.

I hope you're right, PWS!

Yep, we're going to put them to the sword. 6-1 Villa.

[sid1964]

Their winning goal will be scored in the 100th minute of the game

Hoping for a draw, to keep the unbeaten run going 1-1

[lovejoy]

I’d rather start 0-1 down and have a straight referee than what we will get.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Still no one can answer when we last doubled them.

Someone did the other day. Cant remember the answer mind.

Dec. 1954, we beat them twice in two days.

Wow, those players must have thought it was a piece of piss. Are any of them still alive waiting to witness the next time?!

Peter McParland, but not sure if he played in those games. I'm sure there's a bigger Villa hoodoo at the forefront of his mind.

He joined in 1952 but missed both games played a day after each other on 26th/27th December 1954. He had played in the previous fixture in March 1954 and in the game after, a 4-4 draw at VP.
