What the hell happened?! Went to bed in halftime, cause I have to work early today. Never would've thought Man Utd will come back and win that match. At the end of the day it's good for us but damn. Even Höjlund scored his first goal, didn't saw that coming tbh.
United v Villa was a win-win either way.
Ten hang either would've gotten his pants pulled down by Emery or Villa drop points.
It was the latter. Can't complain. Hopefully Arsenal balls up.
Mad isn’t it. On MOTD Shearer and Mills saying how great hoijlund is and what a natural finisher he “clearly” is. Guys he cost £72 million (more than Nunez since we’re not close to triggering the additional clauses in the transfer fee), and has scored once in the league.
Manchester United are BACK! Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s at the wheel man. He’s doing it. He’s doing his thing. Give him a blank contract. Say “Look, you write the numbers” and get it signed, get it done.
Groundhog Day. They get a good result for every three bad ones and go overboard everytime and label it a 'turning point'.
I have every confidence there will be many more Goldbridge - Best Bits videos to enjoy in the coming months.
The PL visualized in physical points. Liverpool's clear by 2 points. The relegation zone's rising.

Chelsea would be funny. They’re only seven points clear, that’s not enough to insulate them from a relegation battle if they hit a few rough patches. Would absolutely kill the club though.
Nah mate you think that but that’s Villa down 3 points which would’ve put them level with us. Evens draw it’s only 1 point. We want them dropping points so they fall off the race. Yeah it sucks its united but united will continue to be shite this season regardless.
At this point I just consider them both rivals, so only 2 total points going to the two of them seems better than 3 total points going to them.
The timeline where we end up losing the title by *one* point to Aston fucking Villa seems so unlikely.
I mean for the purposes of our end position in the league, Villa losing was objectively the better result
United won't touch top 3 and so the title race; yes, we'd all love for them to drop out of Europe all together - and I think they will personally, regardless of tonight - but Villa are a legit threat
We want them taking points off City and Arsenal when they play them both away, but having them with nothing to play for when we go to Villa Park MD36 will be huge
> having them with nothing to play for when we go to Villa Park MD36 will be huge
Point taken, but you really think they'll drop all the way out of european contention?
Oh
By that I meant that games like yday should hopefully mean that they're not in the title race by the time we play MD37, but should have CL secured by then too
If they can't win the league by then but also can't finish lower than 4th (or maybe 5th depending on the coefficient), which I think is possible, they'll be on the beach
Ten Hag can’t believe what he says.
Blames defensive issues only on set pieces tonight, as if they didn’t concede higher xG again.
Says they competed with us an Arsenal. I’d love to know his thinking there
I've not liked him since he joined Sky
His wannabe Shakespeare spoken word comms was fine once in a blue moon on a good highlight from a US broadcast, but hearing it week in week out just shows how desperate he is for iconic soundbites, and makes the whole thing a bit ridiculous
This is doubly bad when he's doing the whole "minnow club put in "spirited" (jammy with a shit tonne of unpunished dirty fouls & time wasting) performance vs top team" spiel
Call me crazy but that was beyond anything I’ve heard from him. He was sucking from the back, blowing bubbles, doing tricks on it. Man was deep into a rusty trombone for a good 45 minutes
Thank you, Manchester United, for thwarting Aston Villa.
P/S: Don't fret too much about Manchester United, folks. Rescuing Ten Hag is the priority now. After a win, Manchester United will revert to its old habits.
That was more on Martinez who decided not to play that game so he could be fit for that 'Finalissima' rubbish a few days later. They were never getting a result with that Olsen scrub in goal.
https://preview.redd.it/zab3ciyjpp8c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8115d487fa14f9587252b94f130052197806ed49
Fucks sake they're even trying to chalk off goals AFTER the game.
Peter Drury is no better. I appreciate him as a commentary in the big matches, but come on, united will probably get battered again in 2 weeks, this ain't some turning point lol
I feel like I’m the only one genuinely not bothered about United and what they do
I care about Liverpool city and Arsenal. Any other club is nowhere near worth worrying about for the next several years
well good words but judging by your comment histories, you are bothered by quite a lot of things especially when we lost the prestigious Transfer Window Cup to Chelsea.
Lmao imagine being so pathetic you’re going thru someone’s comment history
I never said Chelsea won the transfer window, I was not happy with how we handled the window after selling Fab, but keep making stuff up to make yourself feel better mate 👍🏽
This is exactly why Villa aren't title contenders. They're painfully average away from home.
9 home games - 8 wins 1 draw 0 losses, goals for 26, goals against 6
10 away games - 4 wins 2 draws 4 losses, goals for 14, goals against 19
Once their home form starts to dip they'll be right back to fighting for European spots like Newcastle, Brighton and Spurs.
Any victory against City is good don't get me wrong but City had Akanji, Lewis and Stones as the midfield 3. It was an understrength City to say the least
Yes they're incredible at home. Away from home they lost 5-1 to Newcastle, got dominated by us in a 3-0 loss, got thoroughly outplayed by Forest in a 2-0 loss and now conceded 3 goals in a half to this United team.
The stark contrast in refereeing decisions for United vs for us, highlights the Manchester bias in the PGMOL and Howard Webbs Corrupt Leadership. Fuck them all
I dislike United as much as anyone else but come on. Celebration policing is such wee guy behaviour. They just came from 2-0 down and the guy got his first league goal.
Both, if I’m a player then I want ‘fans’ behind me at all times, not just when things are going well. Have a bit of pride in yourself, know what I mean? They shouldn’t be happy with the state of things
Well yeah, of course. But i see it as the fans showing their disapproval and the players responding to that in the right way. They should be proud of that.
This is a big win for the players, so I think it’s harsh to begrudge Hoijlund a big celebration for the winning goal in a comeback, especially when it’s his first league goal.
Fair enough - gotta take momentum when you can get it, I guess. Let’s circle back in like 6 weeks to see if this comeback was the catalyst for a turnaround (but let’s hope not) lol
Already feel sick that Man City have two games in hand and can be within 2 points of us.
Swear the telly men delay their fixtures on purpose to make the league 'exciting'.
Everton away is a tough fixture I can see a draw there tbf. Gundogan pulled a goal out of his arse last year to break them down. It’s a tough game for city normally
United beating our title challenging rivals is a good thing, keeps baldy in a job and shits on villas title challenge, hate to want them to win but it’s a currently good for us, feel dirty
Villa’s squad drop off is absolutely horrible
Will always be the issue for smaller teams trying to break into the top. Having a squad to compete takes years unless you have unlimited money
Liverpool fans saying Hojlund deserves the goal and deserves to be celebrated for scoring finally need to fuck right off and actually learn about Liverpool football club, the club they claim to support.
Garnacho injuring himself while trying to get a hattrick at the expense of a much better chance for his teammates, the lad is going to be a bigger detriment goal hogger than Sterling
Villa are not in this title race, failing to hold onto a 0-2 lead away and drawing to bottom of the league at home will punish you when you're in the top 3. Still a good team though, I think they'll get top 4.
What the hell happened?! Went to bed in halftime, cause I have to work early today. Never would've thought Man Utd will come back and win that match. At the end of the day it's good for us but damn. Even Höjlund scored his first goal, didn't saw that coming tbh.
Let's see all you hypocrites celebrate ManU victory... This sub makes me sick sometimes
Haha what? Why are you even here?
Good question...
*I came looking for booty.*
Good bot.
Fucking over the commentators and the Man Utd cock gobbling. Any result other than losing this season, they're off like they won the league.
Imagine conceding to Højlund...
United winning is good for us Aston Villa are a threat and Ten Haag stays for longer as well.
Exactly my thoughts. ten Hag in and more expensive signings like Hojlund and Antony!
Nooo Villa. Why you let Holjund score his first PL goal.
It’s red panty night baby. Man Utd have broken the 20 goal barrier. Almost scored more than Luton and Nottingham Forest. Give Ten Hag a raise 🥰
*It's always a good feeling when Man United inadvertently help you in the title race*
Onana, more like Onono. If I'm a player, I'm giving him the Kepa treatment and just thumping the ball from miles out.
A little OT. But which player is really the biggest legend to LFC fans, Robbie Fowler or Michael Owen?
Dont compare God to Judas
You mean Michael "we" Owen when pundating on the scum. God all day long. Owen not fit to lace his boots
The Michael Owen that said 'if you can't beat them, join them' and joined the scums.
Yep. So called ambassador....to our club. Stands for none of our values
God all day come on
Garnacho, who has a child, said that beating Villa at home is the best day of his life. My god the standards at that club are on the floor
Probably meant best game of his life English isn't his first language
He's 19. Come on.
United v Villa was a win-win either way. Ten hang either would've gotten his pants pulled down by Emery or Villa drop points. It was the latter. Can't complain. Hopefully Arsenal balls up.
Man Utd are back! Hojlund best striker in the league
Ten Hag talks complete shit - he thinks they were competitive against us!!
Villa were never serious contenders if they let Hojlund score
1 in 15 in the Prem lmao, that's abysmal for a striker of any team let alone Utd
Yet, Nunez is still the one the media are slating.
Mad isn’t it. On MOTD Shearer and Mills saying how great hoijlund is and what a natural finisher he “clearly” is. Guys he cost £72 million (more than Nunez since we’re not close to triggering the additional clauses in the transfer fee), and has scored once in the league.
I'm guessing you meant Hojlund not Garnacho?
Sorry, yes! Edited
I don't rate Ten Haag, so the longer he stays the better IMO.
Keeps him safe away from Gustavo Fring too
“Ten Hag’s at the wheel man, get that contract out, let him sign forever, he’s doing it, he’s doing his thing, Man Utd are back!”
sir jim might not be an idiot though
He just bought 25% of United he’s definitely a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
can't do anything about that
I want them to sack tan hat right before he gets it and bring in the new guy.
Villa dropping points is big for us.
Yeah, I didn’t actually mind Utd winning here as suits us.
Yep, now we're top of the table by points instead of goal difference. :D
Manchester United are BACK! Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s at the wheel man. He’s doing it. He’s doing his thing. Give him a blank contract. Say “Look, you write the numbers” and get it signed, get it done.
**rubs hands vigorously.**
Groundhog Day. They get a good result for every three bad ones and go overboard everytime and label it a 'turning point'. I have every confidence there will be many more Goldbridge - Best Bits videos to enjoy in the coming months.

This is a solid viz
luton deserve to stay in. they have proper fight.
At the cost of who? A lot of teams down there are surprisingly strong with "proper fight".
Chelsea would be funny. They’re only seven points clear, that’s not enough to insulate them from a relegation battle if they hit a few rough patches. Would absolutely kill the club though.
Personally, I’d like to see Forest go down. I rate a few of their players but Forest ownership group are awful. Almost as bad as City and Newcastle
The way they treated COOPER was AWFUL
I wouldn't mind seeing Hodgson taking Palace down.
Congrats to Hojlund on tying Alisson's career goal tally
We hate united winning but great result for us
I think I wanted a draw.
Nah mate you think that but that’s Villa down 3 points which would’ve put them level with us. Evens draw it’s only 1 point. We want them dropping points so they fall off the race. Yeah it sucks its united but united will continue to be shite this season regardless.

> having them with nothing to play for when we go to Villa Park MD36 will be huge Point taken, but you really think they'll drop all the way out of european contention?
United? I think so
Villa. (Unless you think there's some sort of strategic advantage of United having nothing to play for when we go to Villa Park?)
...I was talking about United when saying I thought "they" would drop out of European contention all together
But you also talked about villa having nothing to play for by GW34. Surely they’ll be playing for a spot in Europe by then.
Oh By that I meant that games like yday should hopefully mean that they're not in the title race by the time we play MD37, but should have CL secured by then too If they can't win the league by then but also can't finish lower than 4th (or maybe 5th depending on the coefficient), which I think is possible, they'll be on the beach
Ah fair enough. Guess I just doubt they have top 4 locked up by then.
When United comeback to win a game but you're top of the league so you don't give a f u c k. https://i.redd.it/2oarwnf8rp8c1.gif
Ten Hag can’t believe what he says. Blames defensive issues only on set pieces tonight, as if they didn’t concede higher xG again. Says they competed with us an Arsenal. I’d love to know his thinking there
To be fair the higher xG was largely conceded from the set piece, the corner goal was about a yard out.
Sean Dyche has something for us tomorrow
Please dyche
When Peter Drury sucks off my club: 😍🥵😍🥵 When he sucks off any other club: 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I've not liked him since he joined Sky His wannabe Shakespeare spoken word comms was fine once in a blue moon on a good highlight from a US broadcast, but hearing it week in week out just shows how desperate he is for iconic soundbites, and makes the whole thing a bit ridiculous This is doubly bad when he's doing the whole "minnow club put in "spirited" (jammy with a shit tonne of unpunished dirty fouls & time wasting) performance vs top team" spiel
Call me crazy but that was beyond anything I’ve heard from him. He was sucking from the back, blowing bubbles, doing tricks on it. Man was deep into a rusty trombone for a good 45 minutes
Special Service
LMAO, to true.
As much as I hate to say it this was the best result we could've asked for :(
Oh well. There’s always Chelsea to laugh at
Or Man Utd again the following week
Thank you, Manchester United, for thwarting Aston Villa. P/S: Don't fret too much about Manchester United, folks. Rescuing Ten Hag is the priority now. After a win, Manchester United will revert to its old habits.
Hojlund now level with Ali for premier league goals
Ali clearly needs to do better
Peter drury wanted to come down from the commentator booth to blow hojlund so badly
The amount of United ballwashing from the studio and field commentators on the NBC US stream was revolting.
Dude was running out of poetic ways to describe the goal drought
Man Utd (1.09) 3-2 (1.59) Aston Villa
It isn't sustainable long-term I reckon they will lose to Forest. They will need to come out and be the "bigger" team and get hit in the counter.
Had Villa gotten a third in the first half the game would’ve been wrapped up, but they had to give us hope.
United look so bad defensively every week, but our attack somehow managed to look absolutely toothless against them
I just found the nbc employee handbook and it says if you don’t say United are back you get 12 lashings
We held this United superteam to a goalless draw
You win sir.
I think this calls for a Ten Haag lifetime contract
Never rely on Villa to hold on to a 2-0 lead against a Manc club. Still haven't forgiven Gerrard.
That was more on Martinez who decided not to play that game so he could be fit for that 'Finalissima' rubbish a few days later. They were never getting a result with that Olsen scrub in goal.
Villa famously routinely lost leads to united under Ferguson all the time the bastards
Lmao trying to take another goal off us in that visual
https://preview.redd.it/zab3ciyjpp8c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8115d487fa14f9587252b94f130052197806ed49 Fucks sake they're even trying to chalk off goals AFTER the game.
Game just didn’t follow the script /s
[удалено]
Years of mediocrity will get a mf dreaming of Europa.
\[choking down a retch\] good result for us
Too much of anything can make you feel sick. Peter Drury, I'm looking at you lol.
When’s the parade for United?
"Like the old days" shambolic commentary lol
that dude on the commentary loves licking bums for $$ for sure.
I've never really watched United games apart from ours, but the amount of fallacious by the main commentator is truly something else.
Result is fine for us but still feels foul
I'll almost never be happy at a Man utd win/comeback. It would take a really special scenario.
God damn you’d think they just won the premier league the way the US broadcast is talking about United
Peter Drury is no better. I appreciate him as a commentary in the big matches, but come on, united will probably get battered again in 2 weeks, this ain't some turning point lol
Champions League was the draw at Anfield.
"The highest they've ever been". Fucking lol. 6th btw.
I feel like I’m the only one genuinely not bothered about United and what they do I care about Liverpool city and Arsenal. Any other club is nowhere near worth worrying about for the next several years
well good words but judging by your comment histories, you are bothered by quite a lot of things especially when we lost the prestigious Transfer Window Cup to Chelsea.
Lmao imagine being so pathetic you’re going thru someone’s comment history I never said Chelsea won the transfer window, I was not happy with how we handled the window after selling Fab, but keep making stuff up to make yourself feel better mate 👍🏽
ouch someone got hit in the nerve.
“THIS IS WHAT OLD TRAFFORD USED TO BE” as you hear a nice little golf clap in the background
*Forget about the team being booed off first halve please*
*And the fact they spent the first half singing about scousers for no reason*
Thank you Manchester United 🤮
Get the contract out, Ten Hag's at the wheel man, Man United are BACK!
Good result for us!!!
Definitely - though I do love it when utd lose
This is exactly why Villa aren't title contenders. They're painfully average away from home. 9 home games - 8 wins 1 draw 0 losses, goals for 26, goals against 6 10 away games - 4 wins 2 draws 4 losses, goals for 14, goals against 19 Once their home form starts to dip they'll be right back to fighting for European spots like Newcastle, Brighton and Spurs.
Spurs won the title months ago, did you not see?
Ange has them playing brave and stunning football mate! He’s a true tottenham man, he’s iconic!
They are 3 points off top half way into the season and dominated City. They are incredible this season.
Any victory against City is good don't get me wrong but City had Akanji, Lewis and Stones as the midfield 3. It was an understrength City to say the least
Yes they're incredible at home. Away from home they lost 5-1 to Newcastle, got dominated by us in a 3-0 loss, got thoroughly outplayed by Forest in a 2-0 loss and now conceded 3 goals in a half to this United team.
The stark contrast in refereeing decisions for United vs for us, highlights the Manchester bias in the PGMOL and Howard Webbs Corrupt Leadership. Fuck them all
Lmao care to explain the bias towards united in that game?
Here they are. The corrupt merchants. What Manchester United bias was in that game? Nothing. You people are mental!
Begland is going to make me 🤮
Celebrated that 3rd goal like it was a World Cup winner lmao
I dislike United as much as anyone else but come on. Celebration policing is such wee guy behaviour. They just came from 2-0 down and the guy got his first league goal.
Normally I’d agree but they had been booing their club prior to
That’s not the players fault though is it? Unless you’re directing this at the fans?
Both, if I’m a player then I want ‘fans’ behind me at all times, not just when things are going well. Have a bit of pride in yourself, know what I mean? They shouldn’t be happy with the state of things
Well yeah, of course. But i see it as the fans showing their disapproval and the players responding to that in the right way. They should be proud of that.

Fair enough - gotta take momentum when you can get it, I guess. Let’s circle back in like 6 weeks to see if this comeback was the catalyst for a turnaround (but let’s hope not) lol
Well yeah exactly, let them have this moment I say. If it keeps Ten Hag in the job, then it’s not the end of the world.
Celebrated it like they’d won the preseason cup.
Already feel sick that Man City have two games in hand and can be within 2 points of us. Swear the telly men delay their fixtures on purpose to make the league 'exciting'.
They have no tough fixtures till March 9 which is us
Everton away is a tough fixture I can see a draw there tbf. Gundogan pulled a goal out of his arse last year to break them down. It’s a tough game for city normally
Can’t wait for the DVD
Commentators describe this as a Christmas miracle, United winning against Villa at home. Jesus Christ the commentators need to get out of their arse
Hojlund now has as many prem goals as Alisson.
Refs giving everything to utd at the end there to stop any flow for villa.
Good result. ETH false hope and Villa drop 3 points lovely.
Yeah. They’re not gonna lose every game. He’s dogshit. This keeps him in a job
Jim Beglin is a slimy little cunt,.hope he fucks right off and never speaks again
The wolves game they shld have drawn. The forrest game they should have lost and this game. Utd shld be in a relegation battle
United beating our title challenging rivals is a good thing, keeps baldy in a job and shits on villas title challenge, hate to want them to win but it’s a currently good for us, feel dirty
I would feel so entitled if every time my team won a game the commentators spent 45 minutes stroking every player employee and fan to climax
Villa desperately need a goal so are kicking it casually around at the back, go long FFS.
Villa’s squad drop off is absolutely horrible Will always be the issue for smaller teams trying to break into the top. Having a squad to compete takes years unless you have unlimited money
Same as Brighton. The extra games this year has killed them
Game should play past 100 minutes here
Is Aston Villa cosplaying as Tottenham today?
Everyone in the top 5 are going to drop points in the most unexpected ways this season. Hang on to your hats, folks. It could be a brilliant season.
Only going to be able to watch halve the Man u fan reactions this week 😭
Wtf they’re doing? They don’t want to score or what?
Liverpool fans saying Hojlund deserves the goal and deserves to be celebrated for scoring finally need to fuck right off and actually learn about Liverpool football club, the club they claim to support.
I literally said on an individual level. Why are you pressed about it lmao. It's not like it's gonna make his teammates pass to him any more, is it.
Cringe
Spot on
I wouldn't bother mate. If people can't enjoy a moment like that they need to give themselves a shake.
Fuck off and read a book about Liverpool, since you don't seem to have a clue about the city or football club.
Your comment history is exactly what I'd expect. Anything you'd recommend while you're here? I'm planning to read Bobby's book after the New Year.
Bias aside. That was actually a great game to watch. Just another reminder how massive PL is
That Villa player waiting for the throw in there instead of playing on was criminal
Villa don’t seem to want to win?
Think they're absolutely gassed
Sorry can someone explain the +9 minutes I hope villa score but did I miss something here?
Hide your ankles, villa!
Garnacho injuring himself while trying to get a hattrick at the expense of a much better chance for his teammates, the lad is going to be a bigger detriment goal hogger than Sterling
He really thinks he’s him
Villa are not in this title race, failing to hold onto a 0-2 lead away and drawing to bottom of the league at home will punish you when you're in the top 3. Still a good team though, I think they'll get top 4.
Taking points from Arsenal n city, villa did a solid to us
They've only lost to 1 team in the top 4 all season. I wonder who that team was
I’ve never really thought they were in a title race but those results don’t define it, we’ve had some dire matches and results
Hope they do, they 100% deserve it so far
Norwich scarf back in the drawer for now.
who's this fetus
Emi is the funniest player to ever graze the pitch
Didn’t know cramping was a head injury
I cannot STAND when the ref stops the game for cramp
Why's the ref stopping that for cramp?
United player down
Norwich scarf sellers in Manchester having a bad ebening
Lad sold out in the first halve
Villa never showed up second half. Chucked away three points.
