Aston Villa vs Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

My prediction is that I will be watching Benefit Street by 9 pm

An even more one-sided display.

Absolutely!

[Ron Manager]

Shafali hasn't told me what the weather is likely to be tommorrow night. Assuming its the same as today the likes of Wilshere will not be up for it. It will be a game for men and Sylla must play and prove his worth.

I would man mark Rosicky closely and stop him making runs. I think a lot depends on Marc Albrighton. We know he will try hard. Lambert as is his wont will pick the dreadful Weimann again He can't stop himself.

I actually believe we have a chance because of the conditions.

At least I hope so!

[Monty]

Edit: wrong thread.

However, on this game, I'm significantly worried about Bacary Sagna. There's no way Luna will cope with his overlaps.

[olaftab]

I am not watching so I assume Stevieeee asked for a penalty and got it?

[Legion]

No. It was a soft challenge.

[olaftab]

Thank you. Was about to post wrong thread apology!

Aston Villa
Villa ended a five-match winless run in the Premier League with their New Year's Day victory at Sunderland.
They have lost half of their last 48 league matches at Villa Park, earning just 46 points in that period (W11, D13, L24).
Villa's tally of eight points at Villa Park is their worst record after 10 home matches of a top-flight season (based on three points for a win).
Paul Lambert's side have not scored in five of their last seven Premier League home games.
Villa have only scored seven goals at home, the fewest by any team in the division.
Christian Benteke has not scored for 11 Premier League matches. It's 13 hours and 29 minutes since his last goal, against Newcastle in September.

Confident of a win tomorrow then ?

Anyone who truly believes we can get a result deserves utmost credit for a positive outlook. 



Or another drink.

If Vlaar makes it Monday I reckon a draw is possible, with Lowton at centre back, no chance.

If Lowton plays at CH, our reserve team defenders must be truly awful

Donciean looks a good prospect. If Vlaar, Baker, Herd and Okore are out, we dont have much option.

[Legion]

Donacien has a lot of potential. I hope to see him as CB later on in the season.

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

I appreciate the response to my request, but am a bit strapped for cash, the car needs a new tyre and I am saving up for Christmas.

So, have a lovely time. UTV!

[Mortimer82]

A bit worried about our next two games. :(

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I'll be there Louzie0 and imagine you sitting beside me.
(That'll be £45 btw - just deposit the dosh in olaf's account - I've nearly finished hacking into it so I can be certain it will reach me.)

I dunno; the things I do for love and The Villa!

UTV!
