Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa Pre-Match

[Billy Walker]

And to think less than two years ago we comfortably beat Arsenal three nil at the Emirates, having also won 1-0 at Villa Park a few months earlier. We're years behind them now.

We’ve been behind them for the majority of our existence I’d imagine.

Other way round, I think.  They caught up and overtook us in the 1990s, on Doug's watch.

[Brazilian Villain]

God, when you watch Arteta's Arsenal it really makes me feel that we've been stitched up with Gerrard...

It only took 3 years and £300m.

And an owner that stuck by his manager when their fans were braying for him to be sacked.

Cash

Young

Luiz
McGinn
Ramsey

Coutinho
Buendia
Watkins

Is what I think we will play tomorrow.

[Drummond]

Maybe the rumoured 5 at the back is because someone has seen Chambers playing and guessed. Perhaps he'll play him in a holding midfield role.....

I think its because Gerrard had said he might use it at some point in the future, as he was impressed by Bednarek.

[Drummond]

Yeah probably that. Just guessing really. Wouldn't surprise me to see Chambers in there mind.

[Flin5tone]

A fantastic opportunity to break into the top half of the table. If we win tomorrow evening it will be a very good run of results.

[eamonn]

If Cash doesn't make it, please for the love of God, don't put Konsa  at right back. The puppy-chasing-a-balloon levels of ball control at Elland Road last week in the second half was excruciating to witness.

[Chris Smith]

Tonight could be a pivotal moment for our season. A win will mean 4 unbeaten and take us into the top half of the table but a defeat will leave us 2 points and 2 places above the relegation places. So it will probably be a draw.

Depends what you mean by "behind". This is guesswork but I'd imagine prior to 1930 we finished higher than them 90% of the time. From 1930 to 1996 they probably finished higher than us 90% of the time and from 1996, I know for a fact they have finished above us 100% of the time.

The easiest 3 points they’ll get all season.

I think I’ll have an early night.

Low risk of waking up tomorrow and regretting it.
