Here we go, fill yer boots. We must win this game but with a thread author as awesome as me we most certainly will. Interesting fact; Aston Villa have never been relegated from the top division of English football. As United showed only too vividly last season, all records are there to be broken so they could well be ****ed.
Brilliant, that's got the plaudits out of the way, we all agree this thread is ****ing top. So, should Di Maria play then or what?
I am going to be really ****ing controversial here and say... he needs to start ...on the bench. It shouldn't make that much of a difference but why change a winning team?
Having him as sub works for me, I'm sure his feelings won't be hurt too much and his confidence dented beyond repair by being told he will be on the bench. I noticed Smalling went off apparently injured playing for England yesterday (shocker, when has this ever happened before?),any news on him? He's been our best centre half for a while now, be a shame to have him back to square injured.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did start. LVG has not finished surprising everyone (fans and foes and pundits). I am not going to be too confident. just a bloody lucky 1-0 will do me.
