A Must Win!
Manchester United need to get back on winning ways today against Aston Villa. MUFC are now in second place but a win today will bring us back on top with a game in hand. United can still lose win one more game and win the rest and be crowned champions. I don't want that... I want all WINS!!

I'll be here, mate. I'm gonna Skype my folks so I'll be ready for action in about hour. Looking forward to it.
I have a friend here to watch it with me. He is trying to get some interest in footer. I probably won't comment as much but I will be here
Not good news
Initial team news from Man Utd-Aston Villa is that United's Rio Ferdinand misses out with injury. Full teams to follow shortly.
That will be United's defense without Rio and Vidic
This will be a test for United
We will be without the injured Rio and Berbatov and suspended Vidic and Rooney
520: MANCHESTER UNITED v ASTON VILLA LINE-UPS
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Neville, O'Shea, Evans, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Fletcher, Ronaldo, Giggs, Tevez.
Subs: Foster, Park, Welbeck, Gibson, Martin, Macheda, Eckersley.
Aston Villa: Friedel, Luke Young, Cuellar, Davies, Shorey, Milner, Petrov, Barry, Ashley Young, Carew, Agbonlahor.
Subs: Guzan, Delfouneso, Knight, Salifou, Reo-Coker, Gardner, Albrighton.
Referee: Mike Riley (Yorkshire)
So, United have Neville, O'Shea, Evans and Evra in the back four
Midfield of Nani, Carrick, Fletcher and Ronaldo
Giggs and Tevez u front.
I thought Park would start ahead of Nani.
COME ON UNITED!
At Wembley Luton Town and Scunthorpe United are playing in front of 55,000 fans.
Scunny took the lead but the Hatters came back to take the lead only for Scunthorpe to equalize in the 88th minute
They are in Extra time and Conference bound Hatters have taken the lead again!!
I have been watching some of the Johstone Paint Trophy Final on atdhe and the plonker changed it to Falkirk vs Rangers before extra time started!
Half time of Extra time
Luton still leading 3-2
Everton have taken the lead against Wigan just before the half hour. Jo with the goal
Australia and South Africa are playing a ODI and Australia are 19 for 5
Five to go at Wembley
I can't find any of the build up for the match on any link!
Juve have blown it in Serie A
They were twice behind but then took a 3-2 lead but gave away an equalizer in added time.
Half time at Goodison
Everton 1 Wigan 0
Juve have drawn
Luton Town have won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy
I wonder if any other team have fallen out of the league the same season as winning a trophy
From the BBC
1552: You cannot ever have seen a group of players, coaching staff and supporters celebrate winning a trophy as much as these Luton boys are doing right now. Every football fan should revel in these remarkable scenes. Congratulations Luton.
Tranmere are beating Bristol Rovers 1-0 at half. A win would move them up to 7th. A point out of the playoffs and five behind Leeds
I'm back. Old Trafford looks magic but I don't know about that bloody anthem that they're playing. A bit too gladiatorial for my taste.
Guess who's top of the Ronaldo the Slave prediction league again! Yes!
I picked up a hundred points yesterday. I've got Everton at 2-0 today and United at 3-0. Come on you Red Devils!
Kick off time!
The computer is ahead of the TV so I am not going to follow the computer
We're underway!
So United won the toss, eh? Villa kicking off toward the Stretford End.
Two hopeless calls from the ref
Stum, Giggsy , Stum!
Gabby Ag is back - I thought he was unfit for the U-21s.
All Villa at the beginning
The Neviller completely missed out on that cross. Johnny Evans saving the day.
Bloody hell - Evans saving off the line. What are you lot playing at?
Off the line
Things aren't looking good
I would have thought that Fergie would have got your heads right for this match but you've started off as you finished at Fulham.
Villa snapping up all the loose balls in midfield at the moment.
United are looking hopeless
Why did Gabby let that one run out? 70% Villa so far.
Back pass
Free kick chance in the box
The crowd sounds great.
Backpass rule. Should be an indirect free kick in the area here.
Good to hear that Friedel's red card was rescinded.
Giggs and Ron over the ball. Too close to hit here. Referee is booking Milner for encroachment.
Ronaldo....straight in!
United 1-0!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT GOAL!!!
Was a United player impeding Friedel. It looked like it on the replay but it's of no avail. United lead and that should do them some confidence.
Giggs nearly in there. He took it a bit wide and Cuellar recovered. Corner to United.
Another one please
Hi Guys .
Things look a bit better for you Dave
Just got back from Newmarket . Been
working with Mike and Deborah .
Free kick chance for United.... no too far out
Nani down hurt
Hey Tony
United haven't looked good at all but I will take the lead though
Free kick given up by Fletch on the edge of the box.
Free kick chance for Villa
Fletcher dragged him down... just outside the box
Row ZED PLEASE!
Great save VDS
Ashley Young's shot well saved by VDS.
Welcome, Tony!
Dave .
Who is the friend you're watching it
with ?
What's the Shearer song?
Villa are still scaring me
It's not the Liverpool fan who taunts you with emails, is it?
A wee bit too much space there for Carew in my opinion.
United giving away the ball far too easily
Bad off side decision by the linesman
Good throw out to Tevez. But he lost it too easily. What's up with Carlito?
Dear oh dear .
What is going on ???
Bugger!!!
It has been deserved
Oh dear, Carew has equalized! How did that happen? He had a free header!
John Carew song to the tune of "Que Sera." Can't pick out all the words.
Squeaky bum time for Fergie.
Blimey! Everton are 4-0 up!
Carew nearly in again there. They've got to shut him down. Where's Rio?
Liverpool a point ahead on 67 now. But United have a game in hand. That could be crucial.
Good run from Ronaldo but the header was straight at Friedel.
Rio is hurt
Ron should have done better with that header
Ashley Young works a good opportunity but shoots straight at VDS. A waste.
Really? Why was he playing in midweek for England then?
Useless pass by Carrick
He has really fallen the last month
Remember, he went off with a couple of minutes to go at Wembley and went straight down the tunnel
Rio doesn't look very happy, does he? At least he doesn't have an iPod on, Drogba style. What's Ian Dowie doing sitting next to him? Trying to pick up tips about how to shore up the Newcastle defense?
Oh, I didn't realize. I was teaching in the second half so I missed out on that.
Nani threatens the pie salesman with that shot.
It is all Villa!!
Carrick was allowed to run and shoot there. Maybe Villa knew his shooting was of that stature.
Ronny should have done better there
Corner to United
Evans should have done better
United have one last chance from a corner here at the end of the half.
Free header for Evans but it's nodded away from danger.
Half time then. Absorbing stuff and this one could swing either way.
Half time
Not too impressive
Not too pleased
Not too happy
We're off
Ron's down without moments of the restart.
I wanted United coming with all guns blazing but it is the same as the first half!
United don't seem to improve their performance after a Fergie Rant
Tevez hasn't had a sniff all game. Is there someone on the bench who might cause a few problems for Villa? Wellbeck, maybe?
That's assuming Fergie's still ranting. Maybe he's retired the hairdryer?
Costa steamrolled these guys
Tev did well there to win the ball back.
Stum, Ron, stum!
COME ON MANU COME ON MANU COME ON MANU
Nice footwork from the linesman. I give him an 8.5 for artistic expression.
Nearly a perfect ball from Giggs to Tevez.
He was onside by a mile
The linesman's groin still hurts
Ashley Young was in there - bad call from the linesman. He should stick to Come Dancing.
United must have paid him off
Two useless decisions
More of the same please
United are playing horribly
All Villa!!
They don't deserve to lose this but who cares... COME ON UNITED
villa take the lead!!
BLOODY HELL
HOW DID RON LOSE IT SO EASILY
Oh dear, Gabby Ag. has scored!
Carew was allowed to run and run, he chipped one in and Gabby was alone! He's hurt himself in the process but it's 1-2.
thirty minutes to go
SHOW SOME METAL
Gabby's trotting back on. Play has resumed. Come on you Red Devils. I'm gonna lose a packet on points on this one.
Good ball in from Nani but only the midget Tevez in the box and Brad just bowled him over. And his own man, who's prone in the box now.
What is going on ???
I dozed off for half an hour and look
what happened .
Nani off for Macheda????
Some new blood in here - Federico Macheda.
How was that a foul by Tev?
The way they are going they will be
lucky to finish third .
Two games in a row at OT where we have taken the lead and then fall behind
United look like they haven't got a clue!
How about 4th! Arsenal are only seven back and have to play us
Barry's down on the turf now. Time wasting?
I still predict United to win the title.
Even a draw won't do!
I could be worse, Dave. You could be a member of the Toon Army!
I hope you're right
A draw would do under these circumstances. You've still got the game in hand on Pool.
SHOOT RONNNY SHOOT
Was that a penalty? I thought so.
New boy goes down... tempers a little heated
Davis was all over Macheda there.
I thought so but...of course I would
Fergie working extra hard on the gum.
I'd stick Welbeck on for Nani about now.
20+ to go
Corner swung over and Evans nods over. Good effort.
Oh, nearly. Macheda did well there but the cross was to no one.
The game's getting a bit stretched out here.
O'Shea gives away a silly free kick there. All he had to do is usher Gabby Ag. out of play.
VDS was nowhere on that cross!
Macheda certainly is full of directness and running. You've got to like that.
Milner off for Reo Coker. A defensive move.
The Hulk gets called for a foul on Friedel, who must be a foot taller than he is.
It's all United now with Villa backing up.
I hope it contiunues
Corner to United...
O'Shea heads the corner toward goal but it trickles through for Friedel.
YES! What a shot from Ronaldo!
2-2!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON GET THE WINNNER!!!!!!
Fergie's up out of his seat and he wants a third goal!
They'll go on and win this one now, I predict.
Shorey with an epic run but he was stopped at the area.
Hope you're right
epic run by Tevez too
oooh Fletcher
Saved
Come on Brad, let one go in through the legs
I changed channel and when I got
back they had equalized .
5 to get the winner
Oh, nearly there from Ron. Good grafting from Fletch.
Get it on target Ron
What are you watching, Tony? Songs of Praise?
Tevez off for Wellbeck
Come on Danny
Should be plenty of stoppage time.
How die Welbeck not score!!
Oh, Welbeck nearly in. Friedel did well to close him down.
Oh, Evans should have poked that one in at the back post.
Can Manchester United score
They always score!
Five minutes of stoppage time. Plenty.
5 added minutes
Another corner to United...
Fletcher has been epic this afternoon. United's best player IMHO.
Oh, what a goal from the 17 year old!!!!! A star is born!
YES!!!!!
WHAT A GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Stunning stuff. Roy of the Rovers storyline. Where did they find the kid?
This is one of the best games of the season by far.
Where did that come from ???
Lucky Boy Dave .
And no I wasn't watching Songs of
praise !!!
Martin O'Neill's got to be gutted.
Arsene Wenger's doing a bit of a jig in North London as well.
I can't believe that Macheda got a booking for leaving the field. What a nonsense!
LOL Tony!
And that's it - a famous victory. The kind of performance that champions pull out of their bums. I'll say it again. You'll win the title.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A COMEBACK!!!
This is exactly what United wanted and needed!
So United on 69, Liverpool on 68. Eight games to go for United. Seven for Liverpool.
Congratulations David .
It's all gone quiet at Anfield .
Onto the Champions League in midweek. Can't wait. Liverpool vs. Chelski - who's going to win that one?
Cheerio, lads - nice chatting with you!
See you later Bob . Enjoyed your
company .
WOW
TAKE CARE EVERYONE!!
I am a happy chappy
