Aston Villa v Manchester United

Today is a big day for Aston Villa Football Club in terms of seeing how far we have actually come in footballing terms since Randy Lerner took over. Villa play Manchester United in the FA Cup Third Round and as we haven`t beaten them in all competitions since 1999 today's game is a good yardstick to go by. A win would be a magnificent result and show that things are on the up, a lose would show that things have still got to improve considerably before we can start challenging regularly for the coveted European places.
Personally I hope we beat United and shut a few people up, especially those supporters and media pundits that think that United have the God given right to win every game that they play.
One thing I know is that Villa Park will be rocking this afternoon with a capacity crowd willing the Villa team on to a historic victory and a place in the FA Cup Fourth Round draw.
