Aston Villa v Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

[The Left Side]

0-2 to the Arse... I would take a draw but have got a bad feeling they will want to get over their loss to the spuds!

I think I might stick Carew up top with Gabby as he usually plays well v Arsenal and they don't like playing against that sort of forward.  If he has one of his rare on days and Gabby plays well we could cause them a few problems.

[pedro25]

Say 1-1, Carew and Chamakh.

I fear a spanking

0-2
With the amount of players out, and the likes of Ireland playing poo this could be painful to watch.

Not confident at all now Albrighton is out.

Another stupid fcuking kick off time and ongoing injuries galore.  According to Physioroom (http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php) Albrighton down with appendicitis, and no Carew or Heskey to bully their defence. Hopefuly NRC will be back to provide some bite in midfield with Ash going wide right/left, but I still fear a beating.  3-1 to them

not sure how reliable that is but NRC, Cuellar and Carew all due back

2-1 Villa.  Perfect opportunity to put in another performance similar to that against Manyoo, being as their midfield probably won't be over physical.  Downing and Young with our goals.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Villa 5 Arsenal 0 Ireland 4 goals and 1 assist.

Not.

probably 0-0

[eamonn]

Will we ever play a big team at 3pm at home again?

[Shrek]

Just watching arsenel in the champions league,

They have rested Nasri, arshavin, song, sagna, clichy, chamakk and kosielny.

They have brought in the likes of rosiky, Walcott, wilshere, Bendtner.

Not a bad squad, but I'm still feeling positive about saturday.

[Rotterdam]

0-3
