We've got to strike lucky with a Jordan at some stage...come on son.

Arsenal at full strength (well for what they have)...Ozil starts

We're unchanged.

Well can't hang around in warmth all day better be on my way. Not sure what's worse the weather or the 90 mins that will follow once we are inside the ground?

2-1 to the villa

[QuintonVilla]

Ozil, Walcott and Giroud will have a field day.

[Risso]

Gestede, for fuck's sake.  Anybody continuing to play that lumbering oaf having watched him play is an idiot.

[SoccerHQ]

Don't like this team selection at all. Does Garde not realised we should've been 0-3 down inside 20 minutes last week?

Think we'll get battered, we look slow and lumbering all over the pitch.

[Goldie.7]

It seems like Garde will be learning the hard way.

[CT]

Just despair at Gestede starting.

I'd give up a limb for a draw right now.

Kozak not even on the bench again. Unreal.

[Goldie.7]

Who's starting the Match Thread, you bad luck people give it a swerve. (yes that includes me)

[Bad English]

Kozak not even on the bench again. Unreal.

I was told he played for the U-21 team yesterday.

Going outside to sweep up leaves and put up some lights the only positive result today I fear. Will listen the the game on the radio.

cmon you villa!

Who mentioned gifting goals earlier.........
