srsmithusa Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Honestly, I'm a more nervous about this one. MANC showed what we're capable of. on our day, we can dominate anyone. but i fear that we have not come far enough that we can expect that consistently. If things aren't clicking as well, I fear we will get frustrated and heads will drop. Also, someone please tell the lads, the only thing this referee calls is shirt pulling (blatant) and knocks below the waist. So, don't grab a shirt. And don't go down under body pressure. if you are shielding tha ball you will get pushed over and no call. Don't let that happen. bend your knees and hold up to the body pushing. Arsenal will play to the ref. We should be smart and do the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 The crowd is going to be x 2 what it was for City. There’s still genuine anger after what happened last season and then you have the Emery and Martinez sub plots. Start with the same XI and then make the changes with 30 min to go. There’s something very unlikeable about this Arsenal team and I would love it - Kevin Keegan love it - if we manage to turn them over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Gillett is ref. 1 win in 6 games with him as ref in 3 seasons(1W 2D 3L) last game he reffed us was Forest 2-0 loss. Arsenal only reffed by him 2 times for 2 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to be pedantic. But we’re in a title race, until we’re not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be realistic about what we can achieve this season, win the conference league and finish fourth. Anyone sensible would bite your hand off for that. Title talk is laughable.

chips'ngravy Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 My Arsenal supporting mate reckons they'll be quite cautious and go with Jorghino rather than Havertz in the middle. If so I can see us forcing mistakes from him if we're on it like we were on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look out of interest and it’s only actually 375-1. Still worth a sneaky pound. @Guardian_Angel_M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non Villa YT football show was talking about title race before Spurs game and one guy said he thinks Villa will finish 2nd to shocked replies "seriously"? He said yeah Emery factor, one of best midfields in comp and decent bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 This feels absolutely huge. If we can back up the city game with another performance and win the noise about us will be loud. I really hope we have the energy levels. I say this every week, if McGinn is on it today we will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Villa park will be like a cauldron tonight, so lets get at him early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hopefully will be an exciting match against the league leaders. Really difficult to predict with us usually dominant at home and Arsenal also chalking off win after win. I reckon an entertaining draw 2-2. UTV!

One of my favourite Villa Park memories, which is actually quite sad in a way but that equaliser was epic. Let’s go one or two better today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I wouldn't take a draw before kick off but equally if that ends the case it'll be a solid result indeed. Excited. Just hope the concern over emptying the tank loses out to the momentum argument. Hopefully it being another big game works in our favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to do the same for whoever is in goal for Arsenal today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
