Rice not playing will be the media reason when they lose.

Headline: Fried Rice. Lucky Aston Villa win because of Arsenal injuries.

I was driving to Scotland for the Red Mancs game and deliberately didn't get the score until I got out of the car and switched my phone on. Same game returning to Shropshire for the Chelsea match.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately the elder Rodders Jnr is at home AND WANTS TO WATCH IT.

I'm filled with dread.

It’s unsustainable because Villa scored 5 goals despite only having an xG of 0.0000000002 whilst Arsenal had an xG of 15 bazillion.

I’m worried about tonight. Kamara is such a big miss and no Cash could lead to a very unbalanced back 4…….

But then I always worry.

Has anyone in any previous game heard any commentator mention that Villa are missing their first two picks in central defence. I watch eevry game and not once have i heard it.

No one beats the Sky Six. They only lose because of circumstances beyond their control.
