Villa win.

This, but only if we have Big Dutch Ron in the side

[Legion]

We're due a win at home. Might aswell be against them.

2-0 home win.

Benteke 44
Luna 88

[Monty]

My optimism is hugely limited for this. 2/3-0 Arsenal.

[Smirker]

What's the latest on Vlaar? Is he likely to be back?

[l_mckay]

With VLaar in the team 2-2,if we are without him then 3-0 to them

[Steve kirk]

Oh fuck it 2-1 Villa.

[SoccerHQ]

I fancy a 1-1 on this.

Would go with a front two of Gabby and Benteke and flood the midfield, maybe go 3-5-2 if Vlaar is fit.

Our record ain't too bad against Arsenal, even when they beat us they tend to be close matches.

[Uknowthescore]

There going to be well pumped up for this and will want revenge 3-1 arsenal

[Dribbler]

What's not cool?

I think he's referring to using of the word 'rape' in a footballing context. I would tend to agree

I didn't actually mean they would sexual assault Clark, Lowton, Luna and Baker. That wouldn't really make any sense

It's just not a great word to use in any sort of context apart from in its legal sense.

It tends to downplay the significance and brutality of the act of rape, when it's being used to describe how easily arsenal will score against our defence. Obviously that wasn't your intention.

I think they will murder us.

Sorry but couldn't help pick up on the irony of this, but it would seem that to use the 'r' word in a footballing (or even cricket) context is a definite no no, but murder is ok? Is it ok to 'downplay the significance and brutality of the act of 'murder', when it's being used to describe how easily arsenal will score against our defence'?

Anyway, i think we're going to get De Hammered.

villa 1 (Holtby Wynaldum Defour Hoolahan El Ahmadi) Arsenal 0

[Deano's Mullet]

0-4 to Arsenal

[pauliewalnuts]

I dunno about the score, but I reckon we'll have <20% possession.

[SoccerHQ]

How much possession did we have at the emirates?

It does seem like a mirage now but we did actually play really well that day.

[olaftab]

I see first double of the season looming. 1-0 to us.
