This could be a proper decoration job.  Let's park the bus and hope for the best.  I will go 3-1 to them.

By the way I just checked and it is showing Cash as not back until 21st.

[RamboandBruno]

Well thats a positive start!

2-3 us, Emery masterclass (Watkins 2, Rogers)

[Risso]

If our defence plays like it has been, this is going to be a right thumping. I have absolutely zero confidence I'm afraid. We'll probably score, but 5-1 to them.

[manic-road]

Arsenal hardly concede a corner never mind a goal at the moment, 3-0.

[ChicagoLion]

It could be ugly.

This has become our biggest game of the season so far. I'm going for us to complete the double. 0-1.

I'd be surprised if Emery hasn't mentally written this one off like he did Man City.

Be nice to get something. There's so much to dislike about Arsenal it's hard to say one thing. Ski mask wankers banging drums in tunnels? The most toe curlingly cringe songs since Hull mauled you? Arteta redefining cunty behaviour? Gravity being in short supply for their players? But the thing I like most of all, is the pure tears they cry when things don't go their way.

Tough ask, I'd bring Tim into the middle for a bit more bulk and have Tielemans further up. No early goals please and let's see what happens now we're into the Yip end of the season.

My only hope is they are distracted by the Bayern second leg.

2 0 to them though.

[Nev]

Since the Brentford Nylons game I've had a funny feeling about this one.

The kids were waving their tickets around yesterday and I told them how I thought it would go, raising a few eyebrows.

Conventional wisdom says a defeat, possibly by a few goals but every now and again we come up with a result at Woolwich.

0-1

[coreyfeldman]

Yeah it's difficult to imagine tim not starting this one. Rogers is giving me hope, the defence - especially Carlos is giving me kittens.

Emi to reach true villa immortality and keep a clean sheet

[Brazilian Villain]

I'm predicting a 'Legion'. Surprise me, Villa.

[Duncan Shaw]

I have a gut feel that we have one more play to make in the "title race" but sadly I don't think it will be this one, more likely 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' at home.  However you never know, but an early goal and I can see us collapsing.  My son-in-law to be is taking me in the home end, so I'll be watching through my fingers I think!!

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

A "surprise" 1-1 draw, with Konsa to score.

I'll get my coat...
