Something uniquely satisfying about seeing Man Utd eat $hit

I can wholeheartedly agree with that

I found the result quite funny to be honest which, considering they're a traveling troupe of clowns masquerading as footballers, you could argue makes for a job well done.

It could have easily been 12 or 13! Just one of those days I guess. Villa host Spurs on Saturday so hopefully we can give them a bit of payback!

To be honest I'd be a lot more bitter and miserable if I didn't have a load of other stuff to be doing! It's still an absolute pisser though, and the fact it's not the first time we've been mauled this season (Man U, Portsmouth, fucking Blackpool for chrissakes) makes it a bit worrying. We're the same team that's had a few great results so far this season, but the fact we can also be a great team one week and an absolutely shocking one the next is very frustrating.

You lot have Spurs and were off to Wigan.

It really could have been 12 or 13 aswell, Spurs missed a lot of great chances in the first half.

To be honest the biggest shock was Martinez not thumping that wanker of a reporter one in the post-match interview. Judging by his latest performances, Roy Keane would've knocked him out for the kinds of questions he was coming up with

Aston Villa need to beat Stoke, then get at least a result against Arsenal

On Match of the Day his English doesn`t sound too good....but seriously, I was referring more to the tactics and his ability to get those tactics across to the players. I think its more of a problem, that the English game is faster than the Italian game and Ancelotti may have to address his defensive tactics accordingly.

As for Cech, I don`t think he`ll ever quite get that confidence back that he had before the injury a couple of seasons ago.

As this is an ENGLISH league thread lets talk about proper football. I didn`t see the whole match between Man.Utd and Liverpool yesterday but even when Liverpool scored the opener I kinda knew that "Ferguson`s babes" would still come from behind. Man Utd are in the driving seat now but there could still be some twists and turns, also the fight between Spurs and Man.City for 4th spot is really interesting, especially with Kranjcar weaving his magic in the Spurs midfield.l
