Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

It seems we both have one! Just five more needed to prove Islam correct.

[RamboandBruno]

2-0 up, lose 3-2. Some thirteen year old who will never be heard of again to come off the bench and score the winner in the 107th minute.

They've got a young lad called Heaven playing for them 

Heaven 17, the fooking headlines are written already

[Des Little]

No way are we not winning this. I’m not even contemplating it.

Temptation for top stars as Yanited make the Champions League...that kinda shit ?

[VillaTim]

0-0 in Fergie time , Emi Martinez up for the corner and nods one in .

[Beard82]

We should beat them - but ill believe it when I see it.

Makes me feel physically sick that we could go into this with them already in the CL.

My beloved always tells me when asked that Villa will 2-0
That means 38*3 points 114 points … maybe next season.

Hopefully a comfortable, non-nervy win for us, combined with a late winner for Chris Wood.

[Percy McCarthy]

Game #57, v Man Utd, so 2-1, somebody with Mc in their name scoring both goals after roughing up their keeper. Downside is we don’t finish top 5 again for seventy years.

Good memory. Andy Gray's last Villa appearance. I have never previously heard of Stuart Ritchie, who replaced him.

Edit: or Phil Robinson, who started for us in midfield.

Stuart Ritchie had the shortest Villa career for many years after that.

*NAMEDROP ALERT!!!*

Steve Hunt told me that before the game Frank Upton, who was caretaker manager, told Phil Robinson to mark Gordon Strachan. "Robbo came over to me after two minutes and said 'Strachan's not playing.' I said to him, 'Just round around then'."

Hopefully a comfortable, non-nervy win for us, combined with a late winner for Chris Wood.

Which in turn lifts Forest above Manchester City and both they and Chelsea miss out on Champions League football.

[ROBBO]

Just want us to get at them from the start, cut out the slow build up letting them pack their defence.

[PaulWinch again]

The reason Manure have been winning in Europe and not the league is they badly buckle when teams play with pace and are physical with them. I hope Unai is thinking about that - they’re fairly comfortable sitting defending, so we have to play with energy and intensity.

[PaulTheVillan]

We are so much better than them lot. I think we'll piss it.
Hopefully other results go our way
