 I'd rather have KEA than Westwood, i'd rather have anyone than Westwood.

 KEA was MOM at Arse by the way

That seems longer ago than the last time we won the FA Cup. ;)

Our Sky dish was knocked out by a storm and we have a 2 week wait for an engineer. So, I am watching MNF on the Sky Go app on an iPad. Novel. And if Villa win, I'll have to watch every game this way until we lose. Let's hope for a Huddlestone haircut type duration.

Yep. That's still a side more than good enough to absolutely tear us to ribbons.

5-3-2 worries me a lot, but who knows. It would be nice if we actually perform for once. Come on Villa.

Well this is no doubt going to be a backs to wall type of performance and we'll be doing  a lot of 'playing without the ball' as Lambert likes to put it. Arsenal will however look to come forward and attack us so if we can hold a steady defence then we will have a chance to hit them on the break and maybe sneak a goal. My worry is that Arsenal have a lot of guile in the team though and you would think they would have enough creativity to pass it through us and break down our defence.

Hoping for a 1-0 breakaway goal against all the odds, not necessarily what i expect to happen though.

4-2-3-1 for the Gooners. And the front 4 are good at possession and shooting and assisting. KEA will get very dizzy.

We are a much better side with Vlaar in it. I hope that remains the case.

We'll park the bus in our own half and come away with a lucky 5-0 defeat.
