I am hoping for frustrations in the 2nd half and some red cardsDon’t want them getting thumped else guarantee they’ll have a reaction v us.
And my wife’s a Villa fan… can’t lose against them
FA Cup 2023/24
- Thread starter IRN-BRUno
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Please, please, please can Garnacho, Højlund and Rashford turn up against these lot on Sunday.
Plucky midtable team coming off back to back shellackings winning away against a top 4 side?Major giant killing on the cards?
This is genuinely a bigger upset than Maidstone United tbf
Maidstone no longer the shock of the round.
2 wins in last 6 league games
The draw against City was sorta enjoyable. And the win against Spurs but that was mostly Spurs playing some stupid kamikaze ball.
Blame Poch. Or Boehly. Every time I try to give it a shit, mostly when nothing else is on, it is incredibly boring.
Would say get rid of Poch but you’d also need like 8 new players.
well you’d think them spending some energy getting back into the game us all rest up would be good for us for the coming game
Kamara playing like Bad Fred on valium.
Fingers crossed then, hopefully we batter them
Villa have been so poor.
Duh! Hopefully this performance carries into the game against United.
Almost every time they find space out wide Chelsea have nobody in the middle or just one option
They better be this shit on Sunday. They’ve been fecking awful.
People say this all the time but I could not disagree more. They have a decent collection of players. They will get better. But under a different better manager they can be dangerous
11 would be nice but as long as ones for that xxxx Martínez, that’s a good startI am hoping for frustrations in the 2nd half and some red cards
A lot of it is down to Chelsea taking their chances. Will we?
Well they cant possibly get worse
Hopefully our front 3 will turn up.
Where’s this formidable Villa at home? They haven’t turned up here, all Chelsea and in control.
Depends on the goal I guess. My assumption is they want to win the PL and CL again and for that they need a new manager and basically an entire new starting eleven.
I guess an argument could be made that with the current team they can do better under a new manager but ‘better’ shouldn’t be that hard and still an uphill battle to get top 4 with these players.
And will be like and wounded tiger on Sunday with a point to prove.
We're playing alright but nothing fantastic. A bit annoyed we've played through and been fouled when beating their press and they for some reason seem immune to yellows for it.
Kamara can't pass water tonight, probably his worst game in 18 months. In theory a midfield four of Kamara-Luiz-Tielemans with McGinn drifting to the left should work incredibly well but we've looked much better most of the season playing 4-4-2-2.
We also in these types of games take far too many touches around the box instead of just getting snap shots in and creating pressure that way.
Rare game where Chelsea have been pretty clinical, Jackson missed an easier header on Sunday.
Cheats!!
Not in cups, we lost at home to Everton in the other one.
Also haven't won an FA cup tie at Villa Park since 2016 or something stupid.
Second half we need to give Pau Torres half an hour if he's up to it as there's just no organisation there with Carlos-Lenglet, no talking so that means players are just unmarked in centre of the box with good scoring opportunities and we've been punished.
Interesting first half. Think Chelsea have done well co-ordinating their press triggers and winning the midfield battle. Luiz and Kamara look lost.
Villa have been abysmal but I do think Chelsea have got a good plan tonight and are executing it well. Looks like a 4-4-2 out of possession and Villa have no answer to break through it.
On a side note;
1) Atmosphere is garbage.
2) Chelsea fans rowdy but ffs aren’t they boring? ‘Who are ya’, ‘your support is shit’, ‘he’s one of our own’.. their song book is painfully bad.
3) Why has Chilwell put a blob of ginger in his hair? Looks a mug.

Worst fans going. Just so crap. Every time.ive had the misfortune of going to the bridge it's been horrible.
Shame, I bet on Villa 4-1
Matty Gash havin a mare
Absolutely typical that Villa roll over for Chelsea and then will play like prime Barcelona on Sunday once they’ve had a bollocking.
This is pretty much Villas strongest side right? They look a bit flat, and will hopefully be knackered by Sunday.
Not if Chelsea score a third early on. Really need them going for the full 90
I also heard them churning out the ‘Super Frank’ chant.
Like…he failed miserably as their manager.
0-3
What a goal!
Should never have been a free kick
Not the worst freekick in the world
It’s poor enough from Villa and then you have to remember it’s against a poor Chelsea side as well
Insane freekick. Martinez getting fingertips to it is credit to him. Couldn't have been placed better.
