In a do or die game at the end of last season against an awful Man United side we fell short - albeit with a ref doing poorly, which is hardly a surprise. I struggle to see how we reverse the witches curse when we’re in a bit of a low ebb and they’re in a decent space.

No point even hoping. We'll lose. Totally broken from gathering any form of optimism against that shower.

Yep, this is a home banker

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?

We got one there on New Year's Day 1983, which Sid scored. I know this as I was in the Yanited end that day. We still lost.

Fucking  hell. 1983 !! Thats unbelievable

Thrown another lifeline, come on Villa, its in your hands now we can take third spot and have a sizable points lead over Chelsea or Liverpool, vital at this point in the season.

Expecting to see our inferiority complex on show tomorrow. 3-0 defeat.

Clean sheet will win it for us
Late fitness test for Matty.

Convincing defeat, absolutely no doubt in my mind.

The only slight hope is it's the same ref as Unai's first game which was against these feckers, it would be win 101,so hopefully one of those weird things happen.

This is what I am expecting. I think I have PTSD from this fixture last year. 

Just before kick off - after a glass of wine with mothersday's lunch  - Im sure that ill convince myself that this time will be different - and then hate myself for it 3 hours later.

At least Chelsea lost.

I’m sure we’ll lose - but this would be a really good time to find our shape, structure, and character again in the league. If we could get something it’d be huge.

Reading the Chelsea forums, they seem to think they're shit and Rosenier is a useless ******.

Whilst I don't think we will get anything, we had similar stats at Newcastle before the game in January.
