I was getting slaughtered in the chelsea v city match thread by southcoastarsenal for being realistic and wanting city to win. needless to say he's keeping himself quiet now.

The important thing now is that we beat Villa, they are shite as yesterday showed. Mc Cleish however has proved to be a thorn in Wenger's side and for this reason I don't expect us to get 3 points from this game.
For this reason I would prefer the Chavs to beat s***s, as I think Harry's pending court case will affect their form after Christmas, making them the most likely to slip up.
Yesterday they had both Bent and Agbonlahor out. Agbonlahor will def'ly be back and has caused us problems before,not sure if Bent will be fit but is always likely to nick a goal if he is playing.As well as no full backs we'll also be without Arteta and Song so i don't for one minute imagine it will be a straightforward victory but if we play as well as we did yesterday then we should be good enough to win it.Just hope we have AOC at least on the bench tomorrow.
I have a sneaky feeling that RvP will be "in the red physically" and that we'll be 'treated' to the Camel plodding around up top on his own. Then with 20 minutes to go, Super Quality will be flung into action bouncing off defenders and generally running around like a little boy lost
Then I also expect to hear "we dominated for large periods, but lacked a little bit of sharpness and efficiency in the final third"
I swear if I hear him utter those words in response to another Camel & SQ run-out, I can not be held responsible for my actions
That high-lighted quote made me literally laugh out loud in the office. It is such a succinct, but such a sad indictment of our current demise.

In another lifetime, somewhere else Frank....I'll be laughing with you, but making my way up to Birmingham on Weds night, watching that greasy-haired fuckwit ambling around will bring tears to my eyes for all the wrong reasons.

Let's hope we have an away day like I experienced last year at Villa Park. Arshavin scores. We then do our best to throw away a 2-0 and 3-1 lead. Last minute Jacky Wilshere diving header cues scenes of manic celebration. I was there, it was top drawer.
Said it at the time that I cannot understand how some wanted a team that we are competing with to beat a team that are far beyond our level and I still stand by that and it will be interesting to see how those 3pts will impact on us down the line
