Villa have a chance if Bravo plays

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They were sort of okaaay in their last semi-final against Brighton, and then turned the afterburners on in the final. I'm hoping Villa get utterly humiliated and their confidence gets wrecked at the same time.

 

[Lupo]

United won a free kick just outside City's box right at the end, golden opportunity to take the tie to penalties. Who steps up? Fred! Blasts it into the wall.

When asked why Fred took it, Wally explained: "APPARENTLY they had a competition yesterday and Fred scored 6 out of 7".

Magnificent.

 

[BGreenWolf]

City were crap last night, but they'd have still beaten Villa with a performance like that. If they actually turn up, it'd be a bloodbath- just look at what they did to a better Watford side in the FA Cup last season.

Team who have spent majority of last 40 years in bottom three divisions are winless at team who have finished sixth or higher 35 times during the same time period.

Any other insights? If you score more goals than the opposition you win games, maybe?

Which is it though? Plenty give me this nonsense about Man United being absolute crap yet they sit fifth and we havent beaten them in the last three games , but you tell me this? Cant have it both ways. They are a decent team on their day and so are we. We should, however be getting something from this. Stop poking my ribs. :icon_biggrin:

Ol' Cybes had us down for being sucked into a relegation scrap a couple of weeks ago, he does get carried away

Dont embellish. I said that it was very tight from the top 4 down to lower mid table and a poor run would soon put us in the wrong area, or words to that effect. Fortunately loads of those middle teams have had a bad January while playing worse teams than we have.We have 4 points from our last 5 league games so even though we arte playing ok I am holding the fanfare until we have a few more wins under our belt.

You seem to ignore the context where people say Utd are crap. They are not talking bottom of the Prem shit but a team that domianted football in this Country for years, they are now doing crap. Ask their fans if they are doing crap and you will get a huge yes. Some going over the top demanding their club back and threatening their CEO but ask their normal fans and they will tell its crap at OT right now.

Ah OK

I didn't realise there was a gallimore scale on crap too! I thought shit was shit regardless.

Man United are a poor side compared to previous teams in the last twenty years. They aren't Huddersfield levels of shit by any means hence why they have started the last two games against us as favourites.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

How hard is it to understand bloody context.

They are a crap Manchester United side. That DOESN'T equate to an entirely crap team.

Go on the Caf, if it isn't still bost from traffic overload due to Bruno rocking up. Last two times we have played them their fans have been comfortably predicting WE would beat them.

And 4 points from 5 games for us? Fucking hell - two of those were against Liverpool and one was against Manchester City. Dear me.

No. Its a defeat against Watford, a win at Southampton, two defeats against Liverpool draw v Newcastle. Get a grip Padd!! Man u two games don't even appear mucka!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Manchester City I wrote not Manchester United.

I can see quite bloody clearly that this is another case of you write something and never back down so I am going to do something more interesting - like possibly hammering bamboo under my toenails.

 

[Sniffer]

Or 10 points in 7 games having played the champions of England, Europe and the world in 3 of those fixtures? On top of that we have been away to Southampton and Watford who are in 3rd and 4th in the form table of the Premier League over the last five games.

Padd. I think we are looking at the same thing from different sides. OK I knew you fucked up with Man City so I pushed your buttons on that but foir once we are playing well and getting little reward. If we play as well against united as we did against Liverpool then they are in real trouble

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

IF we play like against Liverpool, I think we can annihilate this United side.

 

[arklowolf]

Man Utd are crap because there is no shape or pattern to their play, they have good players who look disinterested and other players (Phil Jones for example) who are simply poor.

If we win on Saturday I will concede that they can be called crap. Until then.......

Fantastic goal from the half way line for Hull..

Hull player attempts a pass to his forward, over hits it and goes through to the Brentford keeper and he gets its horribly wrong and the ball goes through his legs and into the goal

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The second Brentford goal was a comedy of errors as well.

Championship is such a high quality league

Lovely header into the bottom corner. Brave as well knowing the keeper will be probably be barging through him to get the ball...shame it was his own keeper mind

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So both Chelsea keepers are less than perfection then...

Who knew?

 

[playtheace]

Hmmmm on replay that looked like Chelsea player moved his hand back not ball to hand.
