Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

Surely even Liverpool and Palace fans don't give much of a toss about that match, either.

it shows Sky up for what they are.

It's the trophy lift though so to be expected

[cdbearsfan]

It's utterly pathetic.

Yes followed by a match of zero impact on the league and played at a pedestrian pace because no one cares about the outcome.

[Grande Pablo]

Sky have picked 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' vs Palace (all the predicatable trophy lift bollocks) & Forest vs Chelsea for their 2 games on Sunday.  TNT yet to annouce their 1 pick yet, but I guess that'll be a toss up between Newcastle vs Fulham or us.

I'm no expert but going down an internet rabbit hole (yes, I do have work to do...) we've already been on BT up to their maximum quota of 6 times this season, which would mean it would be Newcastle vs Fulham.  The internet does have a habit of being incorrect on a regular basis, mind.

Last words before going out there from Unai were "You're all for the chop if you don't win on Sunday, you set of bastards"

There are more smiles in the AVFC photos of the ‘running around in bibs’ bit of training that follows the somewhat sombre walk out of the changing room. Perhaps they’re trying to assimilate Unai’s latest video.

[Dogtanian]

He’s just told them his son’s playing on Sunday.

[Louzie0]

Is he any good?

Between this and the Community Shield game in August, they'll never play such dud consecutive games against each other, or maybe anyone else, ever again.

[NatP]

TNT just confirmed showing our game on Sunday in the build up to the Europa final

Won’t be bad if ManUre win, they won’t give e a shit about Sunday….
Actually, not sure either result will have much impact….er…I think.
