Arsenal v Aston Villa All-in-one Thread (Match #272) (Post-match #993)

[Dante Lavelli]

From TFL.90 minute delays expected tomorrow at Highbury and Islington tube station due to esculater repairs.

I'm planning to cut across to Caledonian Road instead

Definitely avoid Highbury islington tube (there are other options). It's a nightmare on a lazy Sunday afternoon so it won't cope with a football crowd.

im thinking, arse have a lot of negative reports about them, and a decent manager as wenger was 10 years ago would use that to go and crush a young inexperienced team, But I believe Mr magoo aint the strength he was, the crowd (even though we all know its called the library) will as the game goes on get on their teams backs and can you see us not scoring?, therefore me going arse nil v Villa 2

of course the trick is keep a clean sheet

Per Metersacker to captain Arsenal -

Isn't he the defender the size of a minor Alp?

And hopefully, just as mobile. Should be interesting v Benteke! UTV!

Entertaining 2-2 draw at the emirates, we all have a nice Saturday night and watch MOTD.

I think we will avoid islington due to failing fullback or something!

[Smirker]

How many Arsenal players are out of this?

We will win.

I think Cardiff will stay up. It's Sunderland and Newcastle who'll struggle this year. No amount of Remys or Giaccherinis can make up for the presence of one Kinnear or Di Canio.

2 Clubs I find very annoying not due to their fans, but because in Newcastle's case: The media love them and Sunderland's case: They're managed by a Fascist.

Couldn't believe the poll on SSN earlier today - who do you think will win the title? The eight options were ManUre, Sheikhy, Arse, Chelski, Spuds, Redshite, Everton and the Barcodes 

They did say that those were the eight most popular options when they ran the same poll this time last season. Considering Newcastle had just finished fifth at that point and not yet begun their predictably comedic implosion, it makes more sense if you bear that in mind.

Seems a bit pointless to base it on info from season before last dunnit?
Tossers!

I find that H&I is normally OK after games as long as I start jogging for the tube as soon as the whistle goes.

Upon further consideration, I'm now planning a post-game northwards jog to Finsbury Park

All their key players are fit and will play so I'd say we are massive underdogs. Bet365 have us at 9/1 to win. Worth a flutter.

Dead easy just to get an overground train from Kings Cross to Finsbury Park, takes 5 minutes and far more comfortable than the tube.

We're going to smash the granny out of this lot.

Hope so - not sure it will happen.

Why 8 options when it is obvious only 3 teams could win it. SSN really has deteriorated over the years.

3-1 to Arse, hope I'm on here tomorrow eating my words.
