Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

Not that i want to talk about them but if they keep this clown in charge could we actually see them next season be relegation candidates?

If they were then expect the league to find a clause that would not allow them to be sent down.

More than ever i want us to smash these fuckers - do you think Rashford would be on our bench (as a spectator) as he is technically still ours until end of season - that would be something.

Can you imagine their lot having to9 do a lap of honour - i would pay to see that

With Rashford I think they have got to sell him no matter what

They will be saved by the promoted teams and even West Ham being shit.

If we manage to lose against this useless shower on Sunday we might as well give up playing them,
if we cant beat them when they’re in their boots embarrassed on a European stage with nothing to play for with us going for CL football we never will ever again

[Somniloquism]

Citeh couldn't beat a relegated Southampton under an interim manager a few weeks ago. Weird results happen in football.

What worries me about Villa is we always seem to fuck up when it matters most. I hope this time I’m wrong.

[Mellin]

I don't think we're that club anymore and haven't been for approx 2.5 years. We needed to be the best team in the league for over a quarter of a season to give ourselves a chance. Win on Sunday and we're edging toward a third of the season. Earlier in the season is up for debate, but when it matters we've been posting wins repeatedly against mainly top half opposition.

[Dogtanian]

I think we are massively better at winning the must win games. But we can’t win them all.

This changed in the run-up to getting Conference League, the win over Spurs to leapfrog them and the win against Brighton to secure it.

Same last season, the old Villa would never have got back to 3-3 against Liverpool.

This season we’ve had to be perfect for the last four games to stand a chance, and we’ve won everyone so far.

[Mellin]

Yeah, the win at Arsenal, with them up for the title and our only fit players running on empty, stands out too.

That had to happen and was way more difficult than Sunday. I think we'll win (sorry, Gods). 50/50 on whether it'll be enough.

You can get odds of around 4/1 on all three of Newcastle, Man City and Chelsea winning. So anyone who is confident we'll do our bit, lump a few hundred quid on that trio and treat yourself to a nice Europa League consolation prize if it comes to it.

Edit: Epic quote fuck up.

That is seriously tempting.

That’s a universal footy fan statement about their own club.

Yep and just not true with us since Unai turned up. Yes we’ve lost two semi finals, fact is we normally don’t even get that far. And our league form, home league form in particular is largely outstanding.
On Sunday, it would take us having an off day and them having a very good day for us not to win. This shit happens, e.g. Southampton Man City, Ipswich also beat Chelsea etc. but it also largely doesn’t happen and form plays out.
Im not fucking with the Gods here, it is what it is. I see us winning, maybe 2-0. If we draw and still get to 5th all good, if we don’t well we fooking tried.

[Dogtanian]

If it is Emi’s last game, he’s gonna wanna go out with his sheets absolutely sparkling.

I'd back that and Man City would end up drawing still fucking us over!
