Arsenal v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Small Rodent]

A return to form for Arsenal. 3 - 0

[PaulWinch again]

I see Piers Morgan thinks Wenger is 'no longer a top flight manager' what a clueless moron.

[levico]

Backlash time I'm afraid. 3-1 to Arsenal.

[Witton Warrior]

Arsenal haven't lost 3 games in a row at home since the Cretaceous Period

[not3bad]

2-2

There will be no feelings of satisfaction, however, as Villa will take a 2-1 lead in the 91st minute only to lose it in the 94th.  From a corner.

[KevinGage]

5-5 draw.   From 5-2 up with less than 3 minutes to go.

Bannan with four goals and an assist, answering his critics in the best possible way.

On a shit run? Play the Villa, that'll put you right. 3-0 Arse.

[Toronto Villa]

just watched again on AVTV the win at Arsenal under McAllister. Amazing to think how much less experience and quality we have in the side today. Delph an Walker were the youngest players that day. Quite depressing really looking at it now. Saturday is going to be really good or really bad in my opinion. Either come out firing and do us properly, or we take advantage of their depression and add to it. That crowd will get on their players and manager really quickly if we can get a lead and put them under pressure early on. They have no chance at in Munich, so I do fear they'll play a strong side and try to ensure 4th place becomes their only goal this season.

I agree with you Toronto Villa, if we can hold them for more that 25 minutes then we have a chance as thier support starts to get restless.  We have the ability to hold them, but a win would be amazing.  A lot of Gooners on Talk Sport tonight are slagging off Wenger for not winning against Munich, not winning the FA Cup and showing a lack of ambition for only wanting to finish 4th in the Prem (oh.... how we dream of such whinges) so holding them and giving them a hard game for more that 25 minutes should make it close.

If the Arse rise up and give it thier all we will be in trouble but if they feel a bit of pressure then we have a chance.

There is no pressure on our lads, we all (along with the nation) expect them to lose - this is our best advantage.

Play without fear!!

Arsenal aren't a million miles from being as amusingly shit as Liverpool.

[Steve R]

We'll wipe the floor with them.

In the post match interview Wenger will develop a Herbert Lom style twitch as he insists the first 4 goals were the referees fault.

Benteke will see the light and punch his big mouthed agent in the face.

Mertesacker will change his name to Scrotum.

[Greg N'Ash]

Arsenal aren't a million miles from being as amusingly shit as Liverpool.

In some ways they're worse. At least liverpool have managed a cup in the last 7 years

[Toronto Villa]

They've become a walking excuse of a club. Everyone's pointing fingers at everyone from the board down. It's like they are in a perpetual state of self denial. They walk around with fingers in their ears screaming "lalalalala..." So they can avoid hearing the truth. Is it really any wonder that players that have left the club in the past few years have gone on to incredible success?

[Hillbilly]

We are going to get gubbed. It wouldn't be a pleasant surprise if we won, it would be a fecking miracle on a par with Paris Hilton being the next pope.

Managed to blag a couple of corporate tickets today for this. Going with my Dad who is a Gooner. Should be interesting...He actually had a couple of tickets to see Charlton play Forest on Saturday which I was happy to go along to but we've pawned them off to my sister and her boyfriend.
