Aston Villa vs Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

Anyone else glad this isn't till Monday night, thereby guaranteeing an angst-free weekend?

Absolutely. In most spheres of life, once Mondays are out of the way, the rest of the week goes quickly for me.

Then one day he says to me I support Arsenal now , like my Dad does , even thou he has never to this day seen Arsenal play and I took him to villa 50 times , bast**d ;(

Obviously not a bastard then!

Hate Arsenal too, mainly because of their glory hunter fans, biggest set of bellends in the league.

And  Wenger  is such a bad loser , never gives the other team credit when he loses

Sadly yes. Also there are far fewer reminders of a defeat on a Monday night than a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Plus by the time I get home it is nearly time for bed. Apart from the Sunderland game when time for bed was after watching the extended highlights. Twice.

I have predicted a crowd on one of DC5's competitions in another thread on here, and when predicting, I had completely forgotten that this is on Monday night, not on the weekend.

So I will not be there but I need you all to go, to preserve my top of the Championship status.

Thanks a lot, love to all. XX

Being as you asked I will go Louise. I will PM you with my bank account details. I will take 9 others with me. So with match tickets and pre and post match expenses I would be grateful if you can deposit £600 today? Staying at the top is not cheap

1-4 with Benteke getting ours

Horrendous booing at half time and the end from the home support, and Lambert walking off looking grumpy the same as always

I've decided to watch it in the local curry house instead

DON"T. Turn up and defend every attack, head out every corner, thread a through ball to Gabby for the winner.

I'm fully expecting the usual VP treatment, a miserable game and inevitable defeat followed by much moaning all the way home but you won't stop me going. UTV
