Unfortunately, this will probably be the case.

I'd like him to get injured in the warm up.

Decapitation should suffice

[Risso]

I don't buy into thoughts of fatalism or anything like that. If we lose, it'll probably be because we just don't play that well away on the whole. They're mostly terrible though, so we should be putting in a good, strong performance and coming away 2-0 winners.

No goals in the last 4 for them. Do wonder whether their players are playing to get the manager the boot.

[Baldy]

To try and salvage a shit season, Aston Villa have to be Man United's main target. We have put the 'cat among the pigeons' by challenging for a top four spot.

They probably reckon Man City, Arse and Liverpool are nailed on for a top four spot but we are the weak link and they desperately need to beat us.

All the pressure is on them. They will come out the blocks fast. We need to match them and then over the 90 minutes our extra quality should tell.

But allowing for their dodgy goal, I am going 1-1. Watkins.

Not looking forward to this, it’s set up to be a fucking Manure win.

Why?

[AV84]

I know they haven't scored a lot but we've been a bit stingy with our goals lately too. I'd like a good old early season 3-0 lead at half time. Couple more in the 2nd half for good measure.

McGuire is out for them it seems.

This 100%

[Monty]

This is the problem with relative expectations. No they're not very good by Man Utd standards, but they're still 8th or what have you. Change the name above the door we'd all by saying 'ooh tricky one this' and shaking our heads and smoking moodily.

[Pete3206]

All I ask is a win, a red card for rat face and Man U fans blubbing all the way back to the Home Counties.

Surely not too much to ask?

[Clampy]

I think I'd put the Donk in for this, play Moreno and play Ramsey on the left of the midfield with maybe Bailey with Watkins. It wouldn't shock me to see Zaniolney somehwere in the line up though.

Fuck our luck.
