Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

[sfx412]

The Fonz is more likely to get in goalscoring positions than any of our other strikers. Id like to have seen him start with Carew and attack where Arsenal are weak. I expect Pires will play centrally anyway with Young and Downing on the flanks. Just really hope Downing is on the left

Good idea play a bloke who stands next to no chance of scoring rather than one, who I can't stand by the way, who has often scored against Arsenal.
Not that it matters, Arsenal don't have a habit of losing against us at VP especially.
Could be the day of course, here's hoping

Arsenal are missing a trick not putting Walcott against Warnock. He'd roast him alive.

[PaulWinch again]

Warnock nearly cost us a goal there, fucking hell.

[PaulWinch again]

fuck me we have started appallingly

[supertom]

Jesus Warnock! What's he on this season?

Good covering by Dunney, who's finding form again thankfully.

[beness]

Not a good start

[PaulWinch again]

it was also brave goalkeeping from Brad.

[PaulWinch again]

We are lucky not be one or two down by now, we have been atrocious.

[Scott Nielsen]

Painful start. Can't get close to them at all.

[Jimbo]

Was that "a Warnock*"?

[PaulWinch again]

Finally getting some possession.

[Holtenderinthesky]

This is gonna be embarrassing.

[PaulWinch again]

Rosicky should have scored.

[The Man With A Stick]

Where's Gabby?  Please don't say he's injured again.

This is shocking. Pires and Carew up front. Downing on right. Painful tactics and performance thus far.
