Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Oh if only we had signed a centre half in January. I think we'll get battered today, but come on Villa.

[JUAN PABLO]

Weimann is lucky to start , hes been off the pace last two games

[usav]

I have a feeling up Gabby will double up with Westwood on Walcott.

[pauliewalnuts]

Bennett against Walcott means we are fucked, I'm afraid.

[Clampy]

No Bannan, Ireland or Bent on the bench either. Could well be a bug going round.

[villasjf]

No Bent or Given in the squad either?

forgot about Bent -        shame , he was looking good coming on

[cdbearsfan]

Maybe "Concrete" is Dutch for brittle?

[PaulWinch again]

I missed Bent as well, fucking hell. Do we have any prognosis on these injuries as they've come from nowhere?

[Mazrim]

It just increases my anger and frustration of not bringing in a centre half in January. Absolute madness that could cost tens of millions.
Really, when you have two youngsters as back up to two very injury prone senior players its not a situation any premier league club should find itself in. Especially a big one.

That said, good luck to this very young and fragile back 4. I hope you're more confident than your supporters are.
I hope Arsenal are still struggling mentally because they could quite easily give us a good hiding today.

No matter how much I look at that team line up, it looks very attacking going forward but weak as watered down piss when we havent got the ball. Not a single "leader" on the pitch unless you count the increasingly vocal Guzan...who could well have a man of the match performance or be spending most of the game picking the ball from the back of his net...or worse still...both.

Precisely it's utter madness, plus Baker is injury prone anyway.

Concrete Ron? Morer like fucking Playdoh Ron.

We're in for battering...

[eastie]

Weak bench, worrying to see vlaar out again so soon after returning, walcott will be the real danger- just hope we score more than them - could be a few goals today - enjoy the first half all, i have opened a can and about to watch - come on villa!
