Aston Villa vs Arsenal Pre-Match Thread

[oldtimernow]

1-0   Hutton hat-trick




Hutton 3 mins.........Welbeck 25 mins    and  Wilshire 78

My head hurts.

Hutton scores after 3 mins and then takes account of those two at those times .....simples

Woke up this morning feeling fine,
Got something special on my mind.
Last night I dreamed we're top of the league,
Something tells me we're in for something good.

[Scully]

I have a spare ticket for todays game. It is in L9 (corner of The Holte and the Trinity). It is a £33 ticket but I will take the first reasonable offer.
Message me if you are interested.

[Matt Collins]

They'll probably line-up with

----------Szczesny
Chambers - Per - Kos - Gibbs
----- Ramsey - Flamini
Wilshere-----Cazorla - Sanchez
------------Welbeck

Difficult match this.

is Wlishere fit then?

I think so. I'm not sure he's going to play right wing though! 

I wonder if they'll play arteta and flamini as they've looked vulnerable there

There's almost too much good atmosphere about villa today tho! I prefer it when there are no expectations

[silhillvilla]

Good luck today lads. Got to try and find a bar showing this later on Costa del Sol.

I'm sure there's no chance of that

Don't know what the weather is like in Birmingham but it is raining heavily in Staffs. Quite a few unforced errors today I think. Pretty Boy Wilshire may not like the rain. His stick on tattoos may wash off. Cleverley and Delph come from the north so they wil be used to it.

Drizzly rain now and expected to last till 1.00 then dry from 2 till 6. Pitch will be perfect for slick passing teams......

er...aren't Arsenal a slick passing team?.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Don't think a bit of drizzle will make much difference to the drenching they give the pitch anyway...
Arse, like Liverpool, are a slick passing team, and struggle to convert the slick passing into good scoring chances...unlike AVFC who are not especially slick but are very efficient with their attempts on goal this season...long may it continue!
UTV!

[Ron Manager]

Its stopped raining over here I'm on my way!

[olaftab]

Yes Arse are and we could be in for a spanking if they react in the wrong way(for us) from the mid week criticism.

[PaulWinch again]

I fear for us today, I think we may get a backlash from Arsenal.

[PeterWithesShin]

As i'm not going, we'll win.

Can you back this up with any Leeg-style statistics?
