This has become like a private message conversation.

This has become like a private message conversation.

As Legion is one of the participants, it'll end in tragedy.

[Steve R]

I'm one of the 14.8%.

we can beat this (Arsenal) team!  Believe!

I believe

The trouble is I doubt McLeish does.

If we press them, keep reasonable possession and get at their defence we stand a fair chance of twatting them.

If we retreat, concede 60% possession and let them play in front of our penalty area we're doomed.

In my Australian night-time dreams we will win 3-0. Then I'll wake up on Sunday morning to find we've lost 5-1.

[Nastylee]

I don't really care about the result, it would just be nice to go there, give them a game and not roll over for one of the game's 'giants'! (coughs)

[Mister E]

Lou'zie: if you're

to keep abreast of Villa.

and you're "Darn Sarf" why not go to the game and get abreast there?

[Monty]

Well, as Eck said, we can't really expect to compete with the 'elite' clubs, so I thought we were going to lose. Then again, he did deliver the Churchillian line "you never know", so I now believe.

[mrfuse]

Will have to rely on Arsenal not turning up, if they do we don't have a chance! Good Luck Villa were gonna need it.

Embarrassing.

I fancy a well earned draw. a suspicion that we may be more attacking given the points on the board

[Smoke]

Anybody know any pubs in the midlands showing the game today? Rococo haven't got it on.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I think if we lose 2-0, McLeish will be well chuffed.

[olaftab]

I can't see anything other than a Villa win. 2-0 Collins and Cuellar

[Bottom Right 89]

Well the moneys down at 11/1 - a perfect day for a villa victory just when everyone thinks Arsenal are invincible Gabby is going to mug them on the break again then Gary Gardner to send them home crying. This time there will be no way back, no henry, no penalties and no mistakes.

[Chipsticks]

I don't see, quite frankly, how anyone believes that the outcome will be anything other than us giving them an absolute raping.

C'mon the Villa.
