This will kill our morale and may well be the beginning of the end of our stay in the prem

[Gazz]

Heard cheering from the pub over the road, assumed since, you know, I live 16 miles north of Aston that Villa had scored.

Nope.

[Ant]

How many times has Joe Bennett let Valencia run at him and give him space too? How many needless fouls has he given away on the rare occasions we have got into Uniteds half?

The first goal was easily avoidable as was the second.

Don't get me wrong i expected us to lose but the manner in which we have conceded 2/3 goals tonight is just frightening.

[Baddar]

That volley from RVP was even better than the one against Everton for Arsenal, I think.

Hopefully we add one or two more - I'd like to win in the predictions this week. 3-0 is the only scoreline that'd see me lose. :/

[Thrilla]

Another goal for RVP in the second half or a brace from Benteke and I'll reassume top spot in the fantasy league >_>

[Summers]

Can anyone explain the offside rule to me? I must have had it wrong all these years.

[MJB]

It doesn't apply at Old Trafford, and hasn't done since about 1993.

Maybe this lino still uses the "daylight" logic.

De Gea fell asleep then. Come on David, concentrate!

When you've won the league you're entitled to a nap!*

(* Except when you play Arsenal next week, goddamnit)

[MJB]

If Jones wasn't so clumsy and made of glass, he'd be a very good young player.

[Matt]

Surely there must have been a better game for Sky to show than this? A close game say a Fulham vs Arsenal, Sunderland vs Everton, West Brom vs Newcastle or Swansea vs Southampton would have been better for the neutral than a United walkover?

Got to have the weekly quota of 1 Man Utd match, it gets harder when they're out of Europe.

[Ant]

All three goals were offside apparently

[Cheeky Hughes]

Stopped watching at half time, the commentators gushing over United got boring. I'm just waiting for the illiterate bellends on Facebook to pop up.

[Summers]

Watching sucks, but listening to United fans, about to be champs and winning, being out sung by our lot is great.

[MJB]

Good save, that. Villa have played well in this second half.

[Baddar]

Save, David.

[MJB]

Oh Shinji ...

Superb play, woeful finish.

[Matt]

I heard one rendition of "We shall not be moved" which I'm guessing was them, a Robin Van Persie chant and the Giggs one, and that's all I've heard from them all night.

Edit: Oh and there was an "are you watching Merseyside" chant earlier, too.

[MJB]

So you've not heard the chants for Vidic, Cantona, De Gea, Rooney and Solskjaer then?
