Beware of the wounded animal. Wellbeck for a brace, easy Arsenal win, much moaning about Baker and the start of a bit of a tough run.

We're not the standard of Dortmund who really should have put 4 or 5 past them. Even so, Arsenal didn't look that great at all.  Perform to the same level and intensity as we did at Liverpool and we'll win it.

We've had a excellent 4 games but I wouldn't put a penny on us winning any of the next 4.

Before Saturday, would you have put a penny on us winning any of the next 5?

Yes, only for the fact we never lose all the so called hard games.

Doesn't that count for the next four games, in that case?

I had money on us to win on Sat so no.

You must have changed your mind from the pre-match thread then.

3-1 them

Why always him x2
Sterling

Weimann for us

The game last night vs Dortmund revealed how soft Arsenal are. We need to get into them like we did vs Liverpool, frustrate and break them down.

Strange as the last two seasons they had showed a tougher side.  During their run on top last year they were starting to win more ugly.  Guess they are still finding their feet this season.  If Famini plays he could make a big difference.  My fear is that it is only the other big boys who tend to out power them now.  Still no OG is a plus for us.

Arsenal are weak in midfield - no real dominant enforcer type. We should be able to bully and out muscle them.

Don't try to catch me out



Make note my first prediction was what I said. I had a extra few quid in my pocket so I added a few more.

Playing devil's advocate, but a bet slip means nothing.

I could go and get one tomorrow morning and write "Villa 1-0 £1,000,000,000" on one and then post it here ;-)
