Well done Villa, United played well but just couldn't make the final killer pass, apart from that I'm happy enough with our performance. Roll on next game.

Its not such a huge jump when you come out with stuff like this... re:Liverpool v United.

Yes, me trying to explain someone else's logic for being positive (I think that that was the context in which that post was made) ranks up there with the Liverpool thread being throlled by idiots making broad sweeping statements.

You shouldn't talk about Pool fans like that. Tut.

Though I agree with your point to an extent, this is a match thread, not a team superthread.

It's still the same thing to be fair.

Oh I can take the heat. It's the hypocrisy that I find unpleasant. Stick the boot in by all means. We deserved the loss and the stick that comes with it.

fair play, this is a good summation of how utd fans should feel after that.

giving respect to Villa, and recgnise utd did well, without having that final bit of something, on this occasion, that you need against a defence at the top of its game.

starbelgrade

I thought United played pretty well.. Villa got the goal against the run of play. Bit of dodgy defending at both ends in the first half.

2nd half, you gotta credit Villa for being well organised defensively - United unlucky not to have equalised - shot cleared off the line, Berba missing a sitter, but some days you don't get the breaks.

Either way, I'm off to the pub in a bit, so happy days!

About as much logic used in that as there as in the similar comments you made when liverpool lost their fourth. So were you wrong then or wrong now?

How about right then and right now? Context changes.

So lets turn this into yet another United vs Liverpool thread then. Don't worry about the Villa fans and neutrals, you guys just take over the thread. :rolleyes:

Bit pathetic the way theres 4 Liverpool fan posts for every one of United's. The same fans that were complaining about United fans posting on the Liverpool thread.

This aside, fair play to Villa, thats one of the best defensive performances ive ever seen. They deserved the win after stopping wave after wave of Uniteds attacks.

The context has not changed, either you were talking rubbish then or you are now. It is fairly simple. It is not yet Jan and four games lost, the same as the Pool when 4 games were lost. Go on, it is easy, you can be wrong sometimes, on this occasion you have been caught out, hold your hands up, move on.....

If the context has changed then obviously you could be wrong on both occasions too yeah. I think that is more likely if anything.

Or could it be because you are only not saying it now because it is your team? I never thought of that, bloody hell. Fan in double standards shocker!!!11!one!1

Well played Villa , great performance imo. I thought we struggled a bit to break them down but didn't play too badly.

Can we have enough about who is posting in what thread ffs , it's gone beyond a joke now.It's a football forum where we are all entitled to post wherever we want whenever we want...

orourkeda

Villa were class I thought.

Fully deserving of their victory.

Could it not be a case whereby CLUB A has a smaller and lesser quality squad than CLUB B, and if CLUB A loses X amount of games come October, CLUB B loses X amount of games come December.....that it could be tougher for CLUB A than CLUB B??

Just a possibility. Either way I think its childish and stupid to continue an argument like that here.

Well done Villa. Unlucky United. Valencia poor, Carrick not much better. Felt sorry for Rooney (even though he did go down without being touched in the first half - hate that sh!t) Evra and Vidic who I thought played well.

Jaysus, these types of posts are beyond ridiculous. The concept of "taking over a thread" is hilarious. If you have something to say about Villa or how this game relates to a neutral team not called Liverpool fire away and post it. You never know, if your post is interesting enough the forum may just discuss it with you.

An absolute disgrace!3 minutes of added time after all substitutions and injuries to villa players.I spoke to a few utd fans at the everton game and they were convinced that there is a conspiracy going on in the fa to screw us out of the title.I didnt agree then but now i definitely do.
And also,why the hell was giggsy taken off?Did he get a knock?I mean,who do you want on the field giggs or park?
Im off to the pub in a few minutes to drown my sorrows.

Oh dear god that's embarrassing.

As a United fan who watched the match - United were attacking regularly but with a mixture of poor finishing and sloppy passing and with Villa defending well and keeping a secure lead in both halfs -- they deserved the win. United should have done better considering what they were coming into but I knew Villa would put up a fight.

As for those going on about how great a feeling it is - perhaps so, but we cant help it if we have a great team that does very well mostly. Learn from us :P

EDIT: To add, I dont think United would have scored with more injury time. Did feel it was short, but that happens to others a lot. **** happens.

Well done Villa. As Fergie said after the match, just one of those days when the ball won't go in. Performance by United was decent.

Amused by some of the comments in here. Gonna be a long season for some posters with no meaningful games till the cup starts I suppose.:pac:

Look, EVERYONE should be happy tonight - Villa moved into 3rd, United are a close 2nd to Chelsea & Liverpool are, ehm... 7th.

Well done Villa. Utd missed an opportunity today. head in hands stuff for a lot of the match. so many bad final balls. Villa with some very commited defending. Not too much damage done in terms of title race luckily. Ominous signs though. need to step up.

Park was poor. Anderson was slow on possession. We need a RB and Fletcher to play in the middle of the park. Thought we should have started with 2 up front. Giggs was very frustrating in the 1st half when he was on. Awful dive from Rooney.

3 minutes injury time I thought was really odd considering how much time was wasted with villa injuries but Utd shouldn't require stoppage time to get their results.

Bad day at the office. next.......

This is very true. I heard before the match that the FA paid Martin O'Neil to win the game today, and look what happened. It's all very sinister.

And yet here you are.

Anyway, I do think United have more concerns that just this game, the way the played today was awful. Yes they did have a lot of possession but they were allowed it. Villa were more than happy to give Man U the possession as they were fairly confident that nothing would happen with it. Toothless and without backbone, a lot like Liverpool are when our best players are out. Noe where was that lad who was saying something along the lines of "Are you watching in Anfield, here is how to deal with an injury crisis" ?

Wolves is not going to be as easy a game as people are making out, they did well today and defended well to get their win too.

So you prefer that this thread becomes a slinging mudfest than actually discussing the match?

Oh come on. You cant actually believe any of that absolute bull**** you just posted. I mean, you really think Villa didnt mind United having all of the possession at home and Villa defending the slimmest of leads?

And United werent "dire" by any stretch today. It was really just a final ball that was missing and some poor finishing, which happens on occasions.

Stop embarrassing yourself. You generally post some good stuff but the above is pure and utter tripe.

It's fairly simple. In the second half, most of what Villa did was head/hoof the ball clear and straight back to Man U, if they were all that worried they would have tried to hold on to the ball.

Well Martin O'Neill was going absolutely berzerk in the final seconds for a guy who, if your theory is correct, was watching his team's gameplan go swimmingly.

LOL. More ****e.

Hoofing the ball out of the back is the no.1 indicator of a team scared of losing it in their own half and conceding. You see it at all levels. You trying to convey it as some sort of super tactic is pathetic and shows a complete lack of knowledge.

Just because you tell yourself this to make you feel better about your teams embarrassing plight, doesn't make it true.;)
