Last loss against Villa was in 1995. We are unbeaten at Villa park in 15 games.
Nani is getting his form back and Rooney has been in a goal lull long enough.
Once those start ripping up the turf like we know they can, all will be well...

Rooney's only in a lull as he is playing as an AM and rarely gets a sight of goal.
Exactly.
I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. It's more to do with the overall performance of the team.
If we're playing well and dominating games he'll get plenty of chances.
is it the white kit for today?
I'd expect so. We're unlikely to wear red or blue against a team in claret and blue.

Young Rooney Nani
Fletcher Carrick

Can we please win this game comfortably? 0-5 or something. 3 Goals in the first 20 min.
Will McLeish park the bus as usual?
We wore blue in 09/10, when it was our second kit, so I expect us to wear blue&black kit today.
Which is good, because our current white kit is terrible, and it looks more terrible when we play Aston Villa.
Of course.
I hope we score fairly early on. Them more frustrated we get the more we look vulnerable to the counter attack.
the team today will reflect our need to get a result Wednesday.
After Wednesday I doubt it, strongest XI will be out for the next two games, might be a bit of rotation in midfield and up top but that's all.
apart from carrick, we can't change too much, we need a result in both games.
This won't be pretty to watch. That you can garentuee.
I'm not so sure of that. In the past couple of games (barring last wednesday) we have looked like returning to our early season form. We created a hell of a lot of chances against Benfica and Newcastle in exciting open games, and it was only our defensive problems that let us down.
Gritty 1-2 win

the CC match should not be included because it was drastically different from our normal sides.
we did look very good v Benfica and Newcastle.
Villa under Mcleish are a drab unadventurous team.
Agbonlahor will terrorize us
City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs win. We really have to win today and keep up the pressure.
_____^?
Not yet.
I guess people will post the lineups when they are out.
This has 0-0 written all over it, just waiting for Villa's comically negative line up with 7 defenders.
Lindegaard, Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Jones, Rooney, Young, Hernandez
Ten minutes.
Subs: De Gea, Evans, Fletcher ,Giggs, Park, Valencia, Welbeck
Full team: Lindegaard, Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Jones, Rooney, Young, Hernandez.
MUFC subs: De Gea, Evans, Giggs, Park, Welbeck, Fletcher, Valencia.

Damn Jones in midfield again
And rotating keepers is bollocks. Lindegaard should have played on Wednesday if Fergie wants to give him game time.
Hmmm not sure about Jones in the middle with Carrick but I suppose Fergie wants to keep Fletcher fresh/fit for midweek. Rest of the team is good though not sure why we need to rotate the goalie now.
Fletcher injured again. Think fergie likes jones positive runs from midfield.
Hernandez in the goal and DDG up front on his own?
Hopefully it means that Carrick will push on a bit as he's looked good at that lately.
Glad to see Welbeck on the bench at least.
