Without question, i am only really arsed about United doing well...

but i wouldn't mind seeing Villa get a top 4 place... old fashioned club, not as insideous as chelsea and liverpool and i like O'Neil and if they do manage to get in to the champions league it'd show that there is some life left in football...

that said, i still break out in cold sweats about liverpool turning it round this season...

Agreed on both counts.

O'Neill has a plan it seems and to see them get in ahead of Arsenal would be acex2.

If I had to pick a replacement now for SAF's retirement in a few years it would be him.

Bedders will be on your case in a few mins to tell you O'Neil will have a melt down at Old Trafford should this ever occur.

I think he's doing well at Villa, there was a decent discussion on the Fiver's podcast about whether he's a football genius or a lucky man. Wish I was that lucky tbf.

£#%&!ing hell.... stealth like, that...

with friends like you, who needs the taliban?

apart from ferguson and wenger, mon and moyes are the outstanding managers in the country atm. moyes impresses me more in terms of how long he has had everton at the level they're at and how little money he's had, but mon's football is more entertaining and he looks a better prospect for united down the line. he has spent quite a lot, though, which is sometimes forgotten.

I don't rememeber Moyes buying any decent strikers though. Yakubu is the laziest @#%&! in the world. Scores a few, but nothing impressive.

Cahill & Arteta for less than £5m combined is very, very good though. & Lescott, Jagielka, Baines etc for good money as well.

I like Moyes mind, didn't he chin one of his own players at a pub once?

I think it'd be good for the game if Villa did break into the top four this season. As former European Cup winners, it'd be good to see them play in the competition again - especially if it was at the expense of the scouse Also, they're one of the few sides in the League that play decent football. Also, qualification for Europe would probably see them hold on to Young & Gabby for a couple more years. I don't think anyone wants to see a situation where all the best players in the League ply their trade for only three or four clubs.

However, most Villa fans are #@&%!s and little Englanders (in my experience), so I wouldn't be that dissatisfied if they flopped.
