Arsenal v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[manic-road]

I'd take a draw right now away at the Gooners but we will be full of confidence and could nick it.

They'll be shitting this game far more than we will be.

They won't, they're the most arrogant fanbase in football.

[Somniloquism]

He might be talking about the players. Arteta might need to get the big lightbulb out instead.

[PeterWithesShin]

They have everything to lose, us and MC right on them, another failed title challenge on the horizon. We're under no pressure. They'll be dreading this, the team and the fans no matter what bluster they come out with.

[Stu]

I reckon Tony Luna with the winner.

What a day that was

One of my favourite aways ever. I think we saw Doug in his Rolls near Finsbury Park tube after, too.

Nah. They're arrogant bellends, don't consider us a threat and expect to win. Which will make it all the funnier if we do our third double over them in five years.

If Torres or Mings are available, I wonder if he shifts Lindelof to RCB and moves Konsa to RB? UTV

[rob_bridge]

Wednesday headlines will be

Villa title fight over before it begins or
Villa hand City-eh title and spoil it for everyone

[Legion]

0-4

[DB]

Quite relaxed about this one, not because we will win just it won’t break us if we lose. Pau being available would be great though

[andyh]

With our manager we could put a team of 5 year olds out and still be in with a chance.

1-2 Villa.

Hopefully not! Leave Konsa where he is.

Arsenal far from impressive lately as per reports but still getting points. Watkins, Onana and Bogarde will come in. Digne maybe too though Maatsen did very well v Saka a few weeks ago. Squad going to be very light quality wise.

[Brazilian Villain]

1-1, which would be a great result. If we win, I might be giddier than a giddy aunt.

If Torres and/or Mings were particularly close to being available we would have seen them in training by now, I assume.
