Arsenal v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Rigadon]

The cynic in me says Rice and one of their centre halves will be fit to play. 

[RamboandBruno]

A long 2.5 hours now, just want this to crack on

[Mellin]

Arsenal Mania is in meltdown, and I mean full scale quivering cowardice, over the alleged Rice news. I'd argue relying so much on one player is UNSUSTAINABLE.

[Brazilian Villain]

Rumour that Rice is out for arsenal..

They're taking no chances after PWS' paella comment.

[Smirker]

Even if we win the league, it's not sustainable and we won't be able to defend it next season.

And even if a miracle happens and we do, it'll be unsustainable and someone else will win it eventually.

Fucking weird bastards with their unsustainable bandwagon.

Mate, you have gone a bit hyper now. Just calm down a bit.

[Rigadon]

The unsustainables vs the (erstwhile) invisibles.

You are right.

Sorry mate.

Rice not playing will be the media reason when they lose.

Rice not playing will be the media reason when they lose.

I can live with that, provided they lose I don’t care what the rationale is.

Me too. I want Rice out, Saka out, Raya out and then a shit load of dodgy decisions to go against them.

Yep massive meltdown over Rice trending at no 1 on X
we’ve got Cash, Pau and Kamara out all starters and not mentioned

Agree entirely, I’d quite happily have folk in the media talk about how we’ve only won a game because of such and such as long as they do it for the entire season.

I can live with that, provided that Captain Black's head explodes in a post-match interview.

 Sounds like the Rice story is boiling over....
