I hope that Dean is strong enough (probably not the right phrase) to not put Mings back in straight away. I think Hause and Konsa (our best defender) worked well v Chelsea.
Got to show all players there aren't automatic places, to be fair, that would be Jack aside.
I've been tempted to go onto the Erod to predict the Manure match, but a) I want to wait until after tomorrows' match against the dingles and b) If Man Citeh have fresh outbreaks of covid, by the 1st Jan. could Manure have some too?
So I think I'll wait until Wednesday at the earliest.
Mings is different, in my opinion. Messed up big time against Palace, terrible performance, but he's still second captain in my book and is a better player than Hause as it stands, so starts against United for me.
At least we have the advantage of an extra days rest.
Something for OGS to moan about I imagine.
Hate is a strong word, but sadly not strong enough - I hated those trips up there in the mid to late seventies. But what I hated most of all was getting my head kicked in in the Serpentine car park after a home game. The screws and their dogs just watched - God knows how I survived/escaped. If you all hate younited, all hate younited, all hate younited clap your hands.The one team I want to beat the most is United.. I cant stand them.... most of my mates are United fans, my father in law is United fan.... who tells me how crap villa have been.... I hate that. I hated fergie time, I hate their cockiness, I hated macheda scoring against us in his debut, I hated how Vidic wasn't sent off in the cup final, I hated how we lost Yorke, Bosnich and Young to them, I hated how their fans bemoaned the team being sh!t yet still finished in the top 5, I hated how Scholes scored worldies against us, I hated van Gaal over acting, i hated ollie at the wheel, I hated how we lost out on the title to them, I hated their Jersey excuses, I hate how they've gotten something like 22 penalties in the last season, I hated Fernandez standing on Konsa ankle but got a penalty for it, I hated Jose managing them cos they were perfect for each other, I hated the fact they've got about 4 players in the premier most expensive list but "just need to invest in the team more" I hate how their keeper resembles a llama, how Gary Neville has a permanent line in his forehead from frowning so much, I hate how super Jack is always linked to them at every window.... so to sum up, I don't like them, I want villa to win, I want them to win big and I will love listening to their excuses.
So they're your number 2 team, chieftoastThe one team I want to beat the most is United..
