Man Utd vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[LeeB]

I had a dream last night that we won 1-0 and Fernandez got sent off.  For balance, I should also add that the dream ended with me taking off in a massive toy aeroplane which then crashed into a hedge. 

Ah, the Spruce Moose!

I said: hop in.

3-2 them. We've all seen this before.

Their women have already used up their 3-2 last minute winner result for this weekend. Have never felt this confident heading to TTOS, we'll get a result.

As an aside, when MOTD recently did a short montage of 'last minute goals' they managed to include both the Bruce header against Sheff Weds and that Machedo goal. Surprised they didn't try to to get the Hernández one in as well.

Just saw the highlights of Villa women against Man U. Uncanny how similar it was to the mens game's against them in the past. Villa 2-1 up on 88 mins. They equalise then get a very dubious free kick in the dying seconds of injury time and hey presto they get the winning goal. We have a squad and a coach now more than capable of righting all the wrongs those fukkers have done to us over the years. I'm going to the game tomorrow and I would love it,love it if we could get a last gasp winner from a dodgy decision going villa's way for once. Well we can dream. I'm going for a 2-1 win for the mighty Villa.

I had a dream last night that I couldn't remember who sang Wichita Lineman. I kept thinking of Glen Campbell for some reason, but I knew it wasn't him.

Woke up and googled it, and it turns out it was Glen Campbell after all.

I'm losing my mind.

There are no circumstances in which half and half scarves are not an abomination to anyone who supports a particular club. In my view God should bring His smiting up to date.

Sorry,
still got my Athletic Bilbao/Villa H+H scarf from the best away ever in 97

That would be Anderlecht no contest

Never had a problem. Very friendly locals and libations

My uncle, who was a squaddy based in W.Germany at the time, reckons it was his favourite away. Commandeered an army truck and a whole bunch of them went over from Germany. Said it was a whole weekend of Villa, drinking, and fighting which was the order of the day for him. Sounded amazing to be fair, how he described it.

Then some years later spoke to a friend of mine who was an Anderlecht supporter who was living in the town at the time, just a young lad - 8 or so I'd guess - and said it was the most frightening experience of his life. Said people still talk about it now, obviously not in particularly favourable tones..

I'm not sure which part of that story is more likely.

It means that even if we win at Old Trafford, we shouldn't rest on our laurels.

I’m Portugal escaping the stress of building a research centre for a few days. Confident Villa won’t burst the stress free bubble tomorrow for once. 3-1 to the Villa whilst always looking like winning. I Watkins, Moreno and Bailey for us, and a soft pen for them. Martinez to hump the goalpost after saving a pen near the end as Utd implode and lose every game rest of the season.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

3-2 them. We've all seen this before.

There has been at least one comment like this before most games over recent weeks…chelsea need a win, we know how this goes, Bournemouth scrapping for survival…welcome to 3 points at Villa….Newcastle….etc etc.

We might lose tomorrow, the point is, what Emery has been doing with this squad, hasnt been seen before by us down the Villa, at least not in a very very long time.

Well said, whatever happens this season the future actually looks like it has more than hope

True but doesn't stop me wanting a performance equal to the Saudi game. It will also put my mind to rest it wasn't a one-off. If Watkins can get some sleep tonight he should be able to rip the Plastics defence apart. That said, by all means necessary.

Or, fly a plane into a laurel hedge.

Friend was wearing his Villa scarf and one of the Anderlecht fans wanted it in the ground,he was tugging one end and the Anderlecht lad tugging the other end, anyway we won the tug of war, but the scarf grow about a extra 4 foot
