Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

[brontebilly]

Strong team named. I thought Digne might come back in for Maatsen. Big test for Maatsen defensively today against Saka. Extra body in midfield to match them with Tielemans closer to Watkins.

[Rigadon]

We really don’t have anything to fear.  They’re a good side but so are we and they’re missing their world class centre half pair. Let’s fucking go for it and smash em.

Eze is starting.  Enough said.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Saka diving in the box is something we and the ref need to keep an eye on. Here's hoping Rogers is up for it like Brighton, Watkins has his goalscoring boots on and Malen scores the winner within 8 seconds of coming off the bench.

110% lads. Nothing to fear.

Ollie scores nearly as many against these clowns as he does Brighton.

Steve Bruce doing co-comms on the wireless. All I ask is that he puts his headphones on.

[Stu]

Horrible feeling about this. We've been getting good press. We don't want good press, it goes to their heads and they fuck it all up under the spotlight.

Yep.

[Monty]

Yeah, I mean, they literally have Eze. That should be enough to tell us what's about to happen.

[Ian.]

Eze has two goals and three assists against us in nine. That’s very good but not conclusively a jinx.

[PeterWithesShin]

Eze has at least 5 goals against us.

[PeterWithesShin]

1 in the LC at VP, 1 in the FACSF, 2 in the 5-0 and 1 for QPR. There's possibly more I can't remember.

[Smirker]

We're going to fuck them.

Don't know the score though.

Villa to nil.

FTF

Yep.

I'd like to join the quivering and quaking club as well please

[PeterWithesShin]

Kill them Aston, kill them all.

[AlexAlexCropley]

It's like the 1930s for Villa/Arse rivalry
