bose Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 If anybody wants easy money bet on both teams to score. Guaranteed to happen. We need Sylla in midfield for this one. Our front three will cause damage. But our defence will make mistakes, which hopefully won't be too costly. If Arsenal get an early goal (first 10 minutes) they will win. If not we have a chance to do something. Can't wait for the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Sagna out? https://twitter.com/LaurensJulien/status/367774697229799424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 15, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2013 If Arsenal fans' opinions are to believed then that's no big loss for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 7/1 seems quite generous. I'll be sticking us in a treble I think. Start of the season, coming off some good scoring (albeit in friendlies), good record at the Emirates. A win or a hammering, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If they play Jenkinson our front three are going to have a field day. Gabby, Tekkers and Andi vs Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker and Jenkinson. If that's how it ends up then I think we will outscore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Cazorla, Arteta, Walcott all doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Arteta ruled out due to thigh injury, Cazorla (after his 12,000 mile round trip) and Sanga doubtful and Monreal already ruled out. Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscienly and Gibbs vs. Gabby, Weimann and Bentekers Take a tenner or maybe more on odds being offered about atm, 15/2 at PP.

StanBalaban Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Bergkamp to put them 2-0 up, with Joachim and a Dion Dublin brace to win it for the Villa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojames Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Can see a desmond here. Think we'll see plenty of goals at both ends this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good odds to be honest, that defence is going to get steamrolled by Benteke alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Seeing as Sylla's out we might as well have Helenius as an AM, Westwood and Delph for CM's, and just try to outscore the fackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 This is certainly a good time to play Arsenal...I'm hearing Kenny Samson at RB for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'd think El Ahmadi will start. TBH if he's the furthest forward of the trio I'm OK with that, where I worry about him is defensively as he always gets caught ahead of the play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I thought Benteke put in two of his worst performances last year against Arsenal, hopefully it will be third time lucky and he will show his boyhood club what they are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal have started the last 2 seasons poorly as well so in theory it's a good time to play them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
