Wainy316 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I wonder if there’s any combination of teams in the world where one has such a poor record against the other over the last 25 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, but relative to the other top clubs, it's absolutely absurd how poor our record against United is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I read Everton actually have a worse overall record v them in prem than us as our results weren't too bad in first 6-7 seasons. Most teams hardly win at Old Trafford and can go decades there without winning (although someone like Crystal Palace have won on their last two visits). It's not beating them at home in the league for over 25 years I can't get my head round! That must be getting close to English league record when you think how often the fixture has been played in that time. Mentioned Everton. They've won 4 home games v Man. United since August 2012 so again team with terrible general record v Man. United in last 30 years and they've still done miles better in home games than us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 In other news Man. City playing their best game in about 6 months (there you go it all clicking for them just before they play us) and Frank Lampard to be sacked shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was matter of time before they did click and start converting the chances they have been creating. They havent been playing badly they just have been failing to convert the chances.

Wainy316 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Looks like today’s game will see us move below City and above Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Ultimately it will be Liverplop and City fighting it out again. Hopefully a little closer than last season though and teams like Villa can beat them both every now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I take it Liverpool are really bad to not get a shot on target v Fraser Forster. Have to admire Southampton but I really don't want them winning this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Saints winning is annoying. If we don't get results against Spurs, Everton or city we could easily be 14th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Funny how we all most likely wanted a boring season devoid of the threat of relegation for once. And now it's become a really exciting one where we actually appear to have a decent shot at European cups. Still think we'll end up midtable but it's a lot more exciting than I anticipated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that no one runs away, a close league is exciting and might even have us dreaming about going top even longer. Only one thing that suck is that now manure is in real danger of going top. If there's one thing more insufferable than plop fans, it's manure fans. Man utd being relegated, that is my ultimate non-Villa wet dream. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 To be a bit Kevin Keegan about it. I’d love it if we can win 2 of the next three. Or even get 4 points. leaves us pretty much safe and over the hardest run of games for the season. Then get 4 from Burnley and Southampton and we are on 34 points. id rather use up luck against the bigger teams, bout time we got three points like United got against us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
