Arsenal v Aston Villa pre-match thread - Sunday November 8th - 7.15pm

[Proposition Joe]

The most Villa thing to do after winning 4 in a row would be to go on a huge losing streak, or at least winless run.

I'm still clinging to the hope Villa won't be Villa this season, but to be honest I am not looking forward to this game.

The most Villa thing to do would be win at Arsenal today and then lose at home to Brighton.

Apparently Ozil will be involved today. Hopefully Luiz will be too as he is always good for a booking/sending off/defensive mistake.

Well obviiusly losing to Brighton is a given. Let's hope you're right and we win this one, and we're not in a Smith/Bruce/TSM1&2/Gregory/BFR-esque winless run...

In the build up to the game, Radio 5 just interviewed Ezri Konsa on radio 5. He talked about the guidance from his father and older brother, playing for Senrab and his admiration for John Terry, including the feedback he receives from him. Came across extremely well; articulate, humble and very focused. Hopefully he and Tyrone do the business this evening.

Ugo played for them too

Did he? Think JLloyd did.
