Aston Villa v Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

[OzVilla]

Going on AMcL's comments post Liverpool it'll be another surrender against superior opposition, it's already been decided.

[VillaSpen]

They're hardly impenetrable but I fear that they'll rip our indifferent rearguard to shreds whenever they fancy getting out of first gear. We'll probably score in a heavy defeat. 1-4, I reckon.

[UK Redsox]

3-0 Arsenal. Van Persie hat-trick

Surely this game is an opportunity for Arse to rest RVP

[The Laughing Policeman]

Gone for the draw simply because I can't bring myself to click for a London Arsenal win.

[Walmley_Villa]

Can see the crowd turning very quickly if we start poorly. Then we will all be told by the press that our expectations are unreasonable, Villa crisis pages in the Mail and Talksport putting the boot in....

3-1 Arse

[VinnieChase84]

This one will be the most one sided of them all im afraid. 4-0 Arsenal. Van Rapist hattrick

[andyh]

Villa 2 - Arse 0

nah....Only joking

I think we will be tanked, I can't see us creating anything, let alone scoring.
I wonder if Arsenal will play the game at walking pace like ManU and Lplop  did ?

[PaulTheVillan]

Villa 0-4 Arsenal

They attacked with some much pace v Man City yesterday, there is now way we'll even get a sniff.

Their midfield will just pass it around us all day long, we won't even touch the ball.

I've gave my ticket away.

[TimTheVillain]

0-3 to the Arse

I'm watching it happen at home.

[midnite]

Being an evening kick off after a busy day at work for me. I think I'll struggle to stay awake. 3-0 to the gunners

[levico]

Never I have I been more certain of a result than this. It's just a question of how many Arsenal will score. Maybe a significant trouncing will wake up RL but I think he's managed his own expectations on that score. This could be our worst season since the mid- 1980's.

[pauliewalnuts]

I think we're in for an absolute tonking here.

[LeeB]

I'll go 0-0, with some of the most wasteful finishing ever seen from Arsenal.

[Concrete John]

I think they Liverpool performance will be used as a spur and they'll react well to it, but still lose.  0-1 Arsenal.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm sure the disintergration of Aston Villa will continue here and we'll play for a 2 or 3 nil defeat.
