Arsenal v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Blackcountry Villa]

When was the last time we went a whole season without keeping a clean sheet away from home? Any Statos know?

If we keep a clean sheet sunday i will streak across the pitch.

Oh cricky I really am very worried about this one. With G'Mac in charge I just do not have any confidence. Its sad but if we only lose by the odd goal I will be relieved. That said Arse have their own issues so a season saving 1-1. 

[Matt Collins]

Have we really not kept a single clean sheet away from  home all season? Fuck me that's awful.

[The Left Side]

Arsenal 3 Villa 0

[Lobsterboy]

3-0 if we are lucky, could be more

Not looking forward to Sky drooling over an Arsenal return to form...

[nodge]

Why don't they ever play like they did against Stoke when they play us?  You just know they'll turn into Barcelona on Sunday.  Problem is now they need to win to keep 3rd spot.
Having said that, some of their players looked totally uninterested on Sunday so I'll go 1-1 to us!

One thing I don't want to see is another "old freinds" re-union for that "Symbol of a Shit Season", Pires.

Give him the afternoon off. No, in fact, fuck him off altogether and try to forget that he was ever with us.

Arsenal 1-2 Villa
Wright         Whittingam, Townsend



Only joking. Can see us getting beat by two clear goals.

[Des Little]

An absolute mauling, a la Liverpool away last season.  4 or 5 nil.

4 - 0 Arsenal.

If they'd have still been in with a shout of the league, they might have got nervous and only won 3 - 0.

Uh-oh spaghettios

[taylorsworkrate]

Think I might watch the cricket instead.

[Salsa Party Animal]

This game will be 1-0 with an own goal but I can't tell you which side

[abc123cox]

This is one of the worst villa sides in history, and arsenal are also struggling.

My heart says 1 1 draw my head 3 0 ars

Arsenal have annoyed me this season.  They have bottled it as usual when it comes to the crunch...    Losing THAT cup final was unforgiveable!  They have dropped silly points against teams around us too!

Saying that, they could still finish second.  I doubt our team will relax (now seemingly safe) and play calm, attractive football.  More likely they will relax in the same manner of recent games and not put much effort in! 

Our record at the Emirates in the league must be one of the best though but I think this will be a predictable 2 or 3 goal defeat.
