Aston Villa v Manchester United 21.12.25 - Pre Match Thread

[Halfway to Moseley]

Feels like a pivotal game. If we win we’ll have put the Man Utd hoodoo well and truly behind us.

If we lose it will be clear we’ve been struck by an evil gipsy’s curse. Unai will need to go on the pitch and have a slash in all 4 corners, Barry Fry style.

[Smithy]

Not that I imagine the players need any extra motivation, but from a personal and professional level, the result on the last day must really stick in the craw. 

Surely any team talk will have a version of, "This team stopped us getting Champions League football last season.  Do not let it happen again"

Feels like a pivotal game. If we win we’ll have put the Man Utd hoodoo well and truly behind us.

Feels like a pivotal 11 days. I'd take W, D, D.

I cant express how much  hate i have for this club. I just do not understand  why we can never turn it on against them.

Please for the lover of god villa gove them the hiding they deserve  tomorrow evening.

Us and fans have a vital role to play

[JUAN PABLO]

they will of course get a dodgy freekick like they did against bournemth and we will get a blantant pen turned down but will still come out winners.    3   0   with VAR looking at every goal for two minutes

There is no hoodoo, there is no bad luck or purely ref decisions going against us. Reason for a very poor record against them is simple. They have been mostly much better than us over the last 30 years. However our team is now much better and unless we suddenly turn in to current Wolves tomorrow we will win. Better teams mostly win.
