VILLA GAME THREAD

[Delorean Dor's]

I can't see us getting a result in this one as I haven't got a match ticket and it's not on tv, I reckon we will win though

[ElliotGooner]

Villa at home has been our bogey fixture in past seasons only 1 PL win at the Grove against them in 5 matches albeit we had a great comeback against them in the cup. 1-1 written all over it!

Nice early goal for us again please! Then go for the fucking kill!

Yep, we never seem to enjoy life against them at the Grove. Last season's end of season game was as dismal as I can remember. Bent always seems to notch against us too - he's injured now though isn't he?

Worst of all, is having to endure their pathetic fans with the old "empty seats m'lord" dross (coming from a team with 10000 empty seats every week) and "shit support m'lord" etc etc. All very boring. It was brilliant when we beat them up there just before Xmas and they immediately burst into song "yer gonna win fuck all".....a sign of a little club if ever I saw one. We might even get a few "same old Arsenal, always cheating" verses if we're really lucky

[Macca]

Don't forget they also sing 'Have you ever won the European Cup?'
That really aggs me....
I'm cautiously optimistic as they are only above Blackburn, the poorest Villa side for a long time.

Hopefully, after being lifted by Spurs getting thrashed at Chelski in the early KO , players and fans will be well up for it
3v0 !!!

[Henry Norris 1913]

they're whole songbook is a bunch of droning, almost unemotional ritualistic bollox. they sing the m'lord shit everywhere despite the fact that the Holte end was practically closed off because there wasn't a soul to be in it last PL game there

I think we've had some poor game at home to them in the past put I can't see them beating us, probably a draw.

3 vital points for us!

The team has to be commited and focussed!

No worries with ´Magic´ Wenger on the bench!

[brazilianGOONER]

hey folks,

been ill for a few days, back at full throttle now.

it's been a long time since i said this, but this team is looking like it can win any match nowadays. i'm going for a victory to The Arsenal.

[cusamano]

Good to hear you´re fine!

this team is looking like it can win any match nowadays

this team is looking better than last year in August, but is still in danger to lose any game nowadays imo

[GranadaJoe]

I used to work in B'ham and had a lot of friends who were Villa supporters so I quite like Villa. They used to get me tickets to Villa Park and I never saw us lose (the first ever match I took the Mrs to was 4-0, Wrighty and Hartson got 2 each).
With Bent out I'd hope we're comfortable winners.

You still a mod BG?

[Resident Plastic]

They'll play the same way they do every time they come to the Emirates. They just put 10 men behind the ball and hit us on the counter/at set pieces and it works every fucking time.

[terry henry]

I would gladly take another 1 nil. Confidence should be high, but we can't afford to be arrogant

[piresistible]

Because babs has been thrown out we'll win 4-1.

[SteveO 35]

Because babs has been thrown out we'll win 4-1.

Has he actually been thrown out ?

Was that from the old forum or did he make a comeback on here and get thrown out ??
