Aston Villa vs Arsenal pre match thread - Feb 6th 12.30pm

[bilsim]

Start of the week I said we'd lose to wet spam and beat these. Still feel the same... 3-1 Watkins x2 and Traore

[cdbearsfan]

When was our last League double over Arse?

1992/93. Both 1-0 wins.
Deano pen. at VP.
Tony Daley at Highbury.

Ha ha fuck off O'Leary you fucking clogger.

[Hillbilly]

Arsenal's appeal against the decision to send off David Luiz during Tuesday's defeat at Wolves has been dismissed by the FA.
Contact appeared to be minimal, but the decision was upheld by VAR Jon Moss.

As long as I live I will never understand this decision.

the idiot ex ref went through contortions to explain how the Marseille dive was the correct decision despite VAR referring the ref to the monitor and the red card being recinded.

Before you all pile in, it won't happen anyway!  But with a GK and Defender suspended, why couldn't Keinan hold the ball up, be a nuisance at set pieces and make space for others?

I was at Highbury that day. I think it was an Easter Monday and I think it was the same day Small Heath were beating Swindon 4-1 at The Sty and ended up losing 6-4. On the coach on the way back we were singing to the tune of 'Day-O' "Swindon, Swindon four one up and you lost six four...not one not two not three not four...

I can't remember the home game that season but the season before at Villa Park was the game when BFR was chasing Tony Daley up the touchline.

I have gone for a draw. I suspect Arsenal will be out for revenge after we did them 3-0 at their place in November.

Not a bad shout, Danno and certainly one we should be considering. The only weakness I see is who in midfield supports the fullbacks? It could end up leaving us very open in the centre of midfield.

That’ll do for me.

Setting that up as a diamond midfield with Jack as the 10 could be worth a shout, given how effective the two Matt's are at full back.

There's a rather more glaring one than that to be honest.
