Weekend Football Thread.
Football. The bottom six play off, four of the big(ish) seven get it on and United should go top for only the second time this season. Quite a tough weekend to call, this, i think.
We've got Villa away, and shit though they obviously are, we'll probably lose again. 2 wins in 9 away from Fortress Eastlands now, and the same pattern to pretty much every game - no tempo, no explosive bursts into the area, dilly-dallying in the middle of the park with no end product. We didn't learn from the West Brom game, or the trip to Sunderland, and it was the same story at Everton; poor sides there for the taking but no cutting edge, a million miles different to how we play at the home of football, where it would probably be a cricket score.
United are an absolute banker. Liverpool may up their game against better sides, and have had the odd good result at Old Trafford in recent years, but not tomorrow, though any attack with pace can trouble United's defence. Some huge call or other will go their way, you can rely on that.
Fixtures of note elsewhere include the AfCoN Final, Monchengladbach v Schalke and Milan's trip to Udinese.
