Manchester Utd vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

I had no idea I'd been hating on Watkins for so long! Why don't we just fuck already.*

*I've been exposed to American drama on the internet.

You've had a few drinks and you're making a fool of yourself now.

Who do you think you are; me?

Yeah, I dropped that one in as a little Easter egg for the fans.

I was just trying to remember  the last time we got a penalty at old trafford. Anyone remember  as i can't remember us ever getting one there in my lifetime?

I was trying to remember the last time we got a penalty…and scored.

I think that was one of the things the discussed at the last supper

Maybe Monty will know when we last had one.

Do...do people think I'm...old?

The ball from that penalty miss is now almost at the half way point to Mars.

I'm looking forward to this as much as I would look forward to route canal treatment without anaesthetic. I'll be watching in Benidorm with 8 other Villa fans no doubt massively outnumbered by plastic Mancs from all over Southern England. Can't be arsed to predict the result but I can  predict that even if we are still in with a shout in the second half the onfield officials will find a way to get them the result they so richly deserve. If not VAR will come to their rescue. The only other certainty is by the end of the game I'll be telling everyone how much I hate Ratface and how much I want to punch him in his face. Let's just get it over with and move on.

If Man U play well & we don't, they'll beat us.
If we play well, we'll probably find a way to gift them the result.
If Man U play shite, we play well & we don't gift them the result, the officials / VAR will find a way to gift them the result.

We've been our own worst enemies at Old Trafford for longer than I care to remember, I don't see anything changing tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm actually quite excited to see just what the refs manage to magic up for Man U this time, they've been a creative lot over the years. You never know what you'll get (just that it will be something).

The Villa store are emailing with another 15% off clearance. They know rightly what's coming.

My only concern is they don't seem to have a 7 year old wunderurchin to bring on for his debut goal. Sorry in advance.

I feel confident about this. My dad and uncle used to call this the biggest game in football so i look forward to it each season. Once we get over that we’re not playing against the busby babes, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Denis Law, Alex Ferguson etc as well as the current line up, we’ll win this and I’m going 2-0

[ChicagoLion]

It could not be set up any more perfectly for them and Sky.
