Aston Villa vs Arsenal pre match thread

[Footy-Vill]

There is a chance to win this one considering it's not expected.

There's always a chance to win, but you were coming out with this bollocks last week, and look how that turned out.

I'm optimistic about this weekend.*






*Because I've got a friend coming in from out of town and it'll be fun - the match will be hell.

Some Signs here
The appointment of Ref Simon Hooper is a positive one for us. Never lost at Villa Park in 7 matches when he's been officiating including this season where Villa drew 1-1 with Man City.

So what you’re saying is we’re overdue for our first defeat at home with this ref ?

Emery has an unbeaten record vs Arsenal played 4 won 1 drawn 3.
The one win came at home 2-1 for Villareal semi finals europe

All the signs are there.

[Footy-Vill]

Arteta record as manager of Arsenal at Villa Park 3 matches 2 defeats. So loses more than he wins!
Overall 6 matches played 3 wins 3 defeats.
As I say all the signs.

[Risso]

Please stop.

So he's due a loss?

[Footy-Vill]

Well no not due a loss

I will stop now as Risso is one I take note as a guardhouse, so if he says stop I shall.

[Risso]

Omly messing with you Footy. But the only 'sign' I want to see is the electronic scoreboard at the end that has "Aston Villa 2 - Arsenal 0" on it.

This exactly, it’s the only sign that matters. I don’t buy any of the “signs” still a draw for me though

Guardhouse, huh? Who let the dogs out, who, who, Houllier...etc.

*yeah, it's "led the Reds out" but Kopites are gobshites, so screw that.

I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes.

Villa’s points gift card in play now. We need to be not soft as shit on Saturday

So you would like a constipated performance?
I think the result last night bodes well for us. They will be demoralised after seeing their 8 point lead disappear and their rival doing them at home, but you are right last Sunday we were pathetic in the first 45.

I would like us to have runs in the box!

[Risso]

I think Arsenal will be well up for this. They've still got a game in hand on Man City, and play in the earlier game, so a chance to go three points above them and keep the pressue on. Hopefully Partey is still out injured, as Luiz and Kamara have given us all the strength and support in midfield of a wet flannel.

[sid1964]

Will be tough tomorrow, hoping that we don't lose a 3rd game in a row - 2-2 draw

[AlexAlexCropley]

Think Arsenal will be a bit more anxious for the win which will play into our hands.
3-1 us.

[Dr Butler]

a clean sheet please Villa...

I remember when Ginny use to do that.
