Aston Villa v Arsenal Wedensday 21st December 19.45

[Cripps_orig]

No Song for this.

Djourou picked up a knock so will hopefully miss this.

Villa are very poor but we are notoriously shite after a defeat.

Villa will have Bent and Agbonlahor back

We'll have Kos at the back

2-1 Villa imo

[dazthegooner]

Nah I can see us actually winning this one I just feel we will be too strong for them and grind out a 1-0 win Van Persie (who else) scoring the winner.

[Dennis Bendtner]

This is a must-win. Not a cliched must-win™, but going to Villa Park isn't one of the expected tough games nowadays.

I think Coquelin should play.

[Cripps_orig]

Djourou has a groin problem and could be out for 3 weeks

[Cripps_orig]

SirChesney

Koscielny Mertesacker Vermaelen Miquel

Arteta Coquelin Rosicky

Walcott RVP Oxlade-Chamberlain

When is Gibbs due back? Rosicky in cos with Coq being a youngster and Ramsey being in poor form, Rosicky can help out with his experience.

Oxface in for Gervinho is a no brainer.

[dazthegooner]

Well rumour has it Gibbs could be back for this match as he's in training atm but Wenger didn't want to rick him today as not fully fit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I hope we score more goals than they do.

[Syn]

Should be very interesting to see whether he picks Frimpong or Coquelin for this game...or whether he goes with someone like Rosicky/Benayoun and urges them to sit back.

I would pick Coquelin...he's the safe bet for a 7/10 performance. With Frimpong, you get the feeling a 9/10 is just as likely as a sending off in the 34th minute.

[Syn]

Do Arteta's yellows for Everton count?

This suggests he's suspended for this game as well.

[Master Splinter]

Arteta was our holding player today, so maybe he will play Rosicky or Benayoun.

Miquel has been very good every time he has played for Arsenal. A few jitters occasionally, but on the whole looks composed and not out of place at this level at all. Grimandi on the bench as cover?

It would nice to see Ju or OAC involved, as we're going to need them soon with the African players going and the injury tidal wave moving towards the midfield and attack.

Can't we go one fucking month without a third of the squad dead? :banghead:

[Master Splinter]

This suggests he's suspended for this game as well.

Oh FFS.

Ramsey - Coquelin - Rosicky?

[Syn]

Are Villa's cm's any good? If so, I'd play Frimpong instead of Rosicky. Tell him to do the same job he did against Man City.

If not, then I'd play Rosicky/Benayoun.

[Marc Overmars]

1-1

[Dennis Bendtner]

Where is Diaby?

I suspect this is a stupid question.

This is the site that will give a definitive answer, well, when they can be bothered to update it. Sky don't usually miss that kind of thing, so possibly not.

We must put them under pressure from the off. Villa are a side out of form and if we can get the crowd on their backs early on, it'll make things much easier.

2-1 to us.

[Marc Overmars]

We do like giving out of form sides a boost.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Wenger said the full-backs are 'not very close' to returning in today's interview. No separate mention of Gibbs. Only a couple of days ago he was in contention for this game.

Died again I reckon.

[Master Splinter]

Gibbs was The Third Man.

He then became George Kaplan.

Recently, he changed his name to Keyser Soze.

He's now dead.

[Syn]

Ok, so who the fuck plays at RB now that Djourou is dead?

Kos at RB, Squillaci moves into the middle? Seems the most likely. I don't think Wenger will play Miquel.

Fucking thing sucks IMO.

But some good news:


Orbinho (http://twitter.com/#!/Orbinho) Orbinho



I can confirm Mikel Arteta has four bookings this season after today. He is not suspended for the Aston Villa game.

1 hour ago (http://twitter.com/#!/Orbinho/status/148527783214186496)




http://a2.twimg.com/profile_images/331516046/orb_normal.jpg


Orbinho (http://twitter.com/#!/Orbinho) Orbinho



Arteta got a yellow card in the Carling Cup for Everton, but was not booked in the league for them. He has 3 yellows for Arsenal.




Arteta should pick up a yellow for time-wasting or summin against Villa to get his suspension out of the way while we play Wolves or QPR at home.

[fakeyank]

OAC to replace Walcott and we will be sorted there. Play Frimpong as RB IMO! He will deench bitches up! :cool:

[Master Splinter]

OAC to replace Walcott and we will be sorted there. Play Frimpong as RB IMO! He will deench bitches up! :cool:

Villa were destroyed by Bellamy, Suarez and Downing turning them inside out, so OAC is as Must Start.

Coquelin has played at RB in the past (for both our reserves and Lorient) so that would be an option rather than Frimpong if it became that desperate.

Which it will, because we're cursed.


Miquel has been ahead of Squillaci in the squad all season and has played a few games now, so it will be him at LB, with The Best Defender In League switching to RB.

[Cripps_orig]

Vermaelen at right back? Can't see it happening tbh. Keep him with Mertesacker in the middle, Miquel as you said on the left and unfortunately due to lack of options, play Kos at rb. Hopefully he'll have the City game out of his mind by then and go back to the form he showed for a couple of games earlier this month and not the previous 15 months of retard shiteness.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

How can you blame kos for the city goal, no way was it his fault.

[Flavs]

I think Le Coq will play at right back for this, he did it a few times for Lorient when he was on loan there

[Ernesto]

Gawd only knows they're due a win against us at Villa Park! In fact, Man Yoo have beaten us more often at Villa Park in the last 12 years than the Villans have....

They were entirely woeful against Liverpool yesterday. They seemed to be divisions apart.

Having said that, expect Big 'Eck to be the Big Bastard Game Raiser he can be.

2-1 to Villa :(

[Cripps_orig]

How can you blame kos for the city goal, no way was it his fault.You didnt see the space Balotelli had to run in cos Kos was out of position?

[Cripps_orig]

I've been to see Villa a few times now and they haven't performed on the day. There was no Darren Bent or Gabriel Agbonlahor, but Liverpool strolled past them quite easily on Sunday.

Arsenal were extremely unlucky against Manchester City and could still have pinched a draw from the game.

There has been a lot written about Arsenal with phrases such as "this is the end" and "sack the manager" but things can change a lot from game to game. The Gunners are now looking in much better shape than they did at the start of the season.

Prediction: 0-2


Lawros prediction

[Olivier's xmas twist]

You didnt see the space Balotelli had to run in cos Kos was out of position?

think the keeper was more to blame tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

think the keeper was more to blame tbf.He could have done better as could have Song and Miquel let Silva go but it all started cos of Kos being out of position plus hes shit whilst the other 3, 2 have been great for us and the other is coming up through the ranks so gets a bit of leeway

[Cripps_orig]

Aston Villa were well beaten in their last game against Liverpool but should be able to welcome back Gabriel Agbonlahor and Darren Bent as they look to end a poor in spell in front of goal that has yielded just two goals in their last five Premier League games.

Injury-hit Arsenal are short of defenders with Johan Djourou, Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson, Bacary Sagna and Andre Santos all sidelined, so youngster Ignasi Miguel will be expected to play after featuring against Manchester City. Alex Song is unavailable as he is serving a suspension for picking up five bookings.






DID YOU KNOW?

•The last meeting between the two sides ended in a 2-1 win for the away side at Emirates Stadium.
•Aston Villa have had 71 shots on target in the league this season, the fewest of all Premier League teams.
•Before Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester City in their last game, they had gone eight matches unbeaten, with seven of them being victories.
•Robin van Persie has scored 33 goals in his last 33 games in the Premier League in 2011.
•This fixture has never seen a red card since the Premier League began.
•In the last 10 meetings between the sides, Aston Villa have only won once, though that was at the Emirates.
•In the history of meetings between the sides, Abou Diaby (pictured right) is the top scoring current player with four goals – though he is some way behind Thierry Henry who has scored 10.
•In all meetings between the two sides in the Premier League there have been 92 goals – with Arsenal scoring 61 of them.
•Aston Villa have scored just twice in their last five games whilst Arsenal have only conceded three in their last five.


Diaby :bow:

[fakeyank]

Till our FB's come back alive, I'd like to see us tinker with our back 4 a little. Have Coq in the middle with Arteta and Ramsey. At the back, I'd like to see..

Song---Per---Kos---Vermaelen

This'd look better than having DJ on the field. While Miquel looks pretty good, I'd like to have him sheilded a bit.

Btw, when is Sagna back?

[Marc Overmars]

Song at RB?

He's one of the top CM's in the league, keep him where he is.

[server too busy!]

Till our FB's come back alive, I'd like to see us tinker with our back 4 a little. Have Coq in the middle with Arteta and Ramsey. At the back, I'd like to see..

I'm pretty sure Song is banned for this game.

[fakeyank]

I'm pretty sure Song is banned for this game.

Yes, he is. I am just saying in general, for the games till our FB's come back. This game will help us determine how we work with Coq or Ping Pong in the middle.

[Master Splinter]

I recall Song playing at RB once before.

It did not turn out well.

In fact, you could say it was more disastrous than MO's face.

[Kaiser]

Coquelin at RB instead of Miquel at LB, so Koscielny goes back into the middle alongside Per and Vermaelen at LB? Frimpong in the middle then alongside Rosicky and Arteta (give Rambo a rest). AOC/Benayoun, Gervinho to support Park (RVP on bench)?

[Dennis Bendtner]

Squillaci. :partytime:

Don't really see why Miquel shouldn't play right-back. Did alright against Adam Johnson on the other side. Unless he's left-footed?

Miquel--Mertesacker--Koscielny--Vermaelen

Should be ok. The multiple changes elsewhere will probably be saved for the home games. RVP can shit on Villa and have the day off against QPR. Or come on and bail us out in the second half, more likely.

[Cripps_orig]

Il probably go to the QPR game so RVP better not be rested for that.

Rest him for this if he needs to be rested at all

[Rors]

"Zat Knight's there!" :cloud9:-ish :lol:

[Rors]

"Zat Knight's there!" :cloud9:-ish :lol:

I doubt I'll be doing many celebratory laps of the living-room table this time though :( To borrow one of your finest axioms, "you'll win and win well"

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Till our FB's come back alive, I'd like to see us tinker with our back 4

We'd be better off playing a 343 tbh, with Kos,TV5 and Merts all at the back. No point playing a 442 till be wet the FB backs.

[Joker]

I doubt I'll be doing many celebratory laps of the living-room table this time though :( To borrow one of your finest axioms, "you'll win and win well"

LOL I remember that game. It was unbelievably frustrating to concede so late on, although to be fair you deserved at least a draw in that match.

[Cripps_orig]

Just read good and bad news concerning Villa team news. Good - Bent is still out. Bad - Heskey is injured and will probably miss this as well. That's a shame. We could have done with him especially with all those FBs out

[Master Splinter]

Definitely a shame that our best CB Heskey is out.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Szczesny has tweeted a pic of the Ox sleeping on the coach. Epic banter. But looks like he's made the squad. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ireland starts for Villa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Frimpong starts for us. :bow: Coquelin at RB, I think.

[Syn]

Interesting. It appears we're having Coquelin at RB?


Arsenal: Szczesny, Coquelin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Frimpong, Arteta, Ramsey, Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.

Substitute: Almunia, Squillaci, Benayoun, Arshavin, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh.

[Rors]

Guzan, Hutton, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock; Petrov, Clark, Ireland; Albrighton, N’Zogbia, Agbonlahor

Cuellar, Clark, and Ireland in? That's either mighty brave...

[Kaiser]

No Miquel even on the bench? Strange.

[Cripps_orig]

Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock, Albrighton, Ireland, Clark, Petrov, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor. Subs: Marshall, Collins, Delfouneso, Delph, Bannan, Weimann, Williams.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Coquelin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Walcott, Ramsey, Frimpong, Arteta, Gervinho, van Persie. Subs: Almunia, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Squillaci, Arshavin, Chamakh, Benayoun.

Referee: Jon Moss (W Yorkshire)

John Moss?

[Joker]

Shame Oxlade's not starting. I would have dropped either Gervinho or Walcott tonight.

[Cripps_orig]

Is this on the radio anywhere?

[Rors]

Is this on the radio anywhere?

Not even live on BBC WM. Talksport have the rights to the Wednesday games now, so Fivelive are doing a reporter-at-every-game thing instead.

Looks like his dad is keeping the money

[Rors]

So like every time then? Thats all 5live ever do

They at least normally have one main commentary game for full Prem schedules. Not Wednesdays though (or Saturday evenings. Or Sunday early-afternoons)

[Cripps_orig]

Even for the main commentary game, they go around the grounds like every few minutes so we know f all about the actual game.

Unless they've changed cos i havent heard 5live since last season. All about talk sport these days

[Dennis Bendtner]

Is this on the radio anywhere?

Arsenal Player usually has commentary I think? Don't know who it is though, might be that turd Stewart Robson.

[Rors]

Don't worry, you'll make it..

[Cripps_orig]

So it begins

[Master Splinter]

Miquel out for two seasons as well now?

[Cripps_orig]

Villa corner

[Master Splinter]

Szczesny saves!

[Cripps_orig]

SirChesney makes a save from Agbonthewhore

[Rors]

:faint:

[mkkreuk]

best stream ive found:

http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/99131/1/watch-aston-villa-vs-arsenal.html

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho needs a left foot

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho hasn't beaten Hutton yet, which is odd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal penalty

Brilliant from Theo

[GP]

Fucking beautiful Theo!

[Cripps_orig]

That turn was awesome

[Rors]

Pel to you I think. Matt Murray isn't the most lucid of 'reporters'

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP!!!!

[Rors]

Grah..

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 RVPPPP

[Dennis Bendtner]

20 for the season. :bow:

[GP]

Brave Sir Robin :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

No way anyone was saving that Pel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Where would Arsenal be without the goals of RVP this season?" :rolleyes: RVP did win the pelanty for himself after all.

[Syn]

Theo :doh:

Lovely pass by RVP but Theo should've just taken it around the keeper instead of going for the chip.

What a chance to make it 0-2.

[Jack-of-Hearts]

sick penalty!

[Cripps_orig]

Guzan saves from Theo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Petrov shoots, slightly deflected. Comfortable for Shangnenensgy though.

[Master Splinter]

Hollywood time for Petrov.

Rors said Guzan was good at saving pels.

Rors :haha:.

[Syn]

Cutting them open easily but wasteful with the final ball. I think that was Ramsey or Coquelin who failed to put Gerv through. Gotta be clinical!

[Syn]

Silly tackle by Mertesacker gives away a free kick in a dangerous position.

No Wondergoal please.

[Cripps_orig]

Villa FK

Decent position

Merte got the ball

Ref :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Mertesacker wins the ball.

Ref gives a free kick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible freekick from Petrov. Although Frimpong probably closed it down unfairly. :whistle:

[Rors]

Hollywood time for Petrov.

Rors said Guzan was good at saving pels.

Rors :haha:.

*revokes..for now*

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin booked.

[Syn]

Inexperience.

The ref is going to want to even this out having given us a pen. Use your head, stay on your feet.

[Cripps_orig]

Nzogbia giving Coq some problems

[Master Splinter]

We have been poor.

Really poor.

[Jack-of-Hearts]

Yeah not been a good last few minutes

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :doh:

[Syn]

Lovely play but Ramsey wastes a good chance. Dear god, what is wrong with his shooting?

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey will never score again.

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey misses a great chance

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agbonlahor got Frimponged. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Agbonlahor rolling around again.

[Cripps_orig]

Clark was booked btw

I dont know who Clark is

[Jack-of-Hearts]

Our midfield needs to get the ball moving faster out from defense. Everything is so slow

[Cripps_orig]

ianashworth80 on Twitter: "When will Lerner wise up....McLeish will take Villa down!!"

Hopefully never

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mertesacker booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ireland hauled off, Bannan on.

[Young Guns 11]

Jesus christ merty is a clumsy fucking oaf

[Master Splinter]

Frimpong has given the ball away too much.

[Cripps_orig]

Bannan just over with a FK

Skjszdfhkshfny left standing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT. Not exactly inspiring stuff but a lead is a lead.

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 HT

[Dennis Bendtner]

Frimpong has given the ball away too much.

That's the concern. He is mental, and clearly dench, but I doubt he's starting many games ahead of Coquelin when he's not needing to fill in elsewhere.

[Syn]

Poor first half.

Coquelin and Ramsey have been weak and wasteful, respectively. The defence is all over the place. Van Persie has done ok. The rest need to shape up.

Had two excellent chances after the goal which should've been taken by Theo and Ramsey. But it could've been worse I suppose with Villa getting near to scoring a couple of times.

[Syn]

Yeah, I think that's true actually. We're getting caught out but you can't account for losing the ball in your own half.

[Cripps_orig]

Does Theo get the assist for winning the penalty?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Does Theo get the assist for winning the penalty?

Yup.

Theo. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal
David Ornstein's HT snapshot: "An opening 45 minutes completely dominated by Villa ends with Arsenal taking a lead into the break. It's a funny old game. Plenty of chances for the hosts but this is why they've failed to score in four of their past five games. No cutting edge. Unlike Arsenal and that man Robin van Persie."

Villa domination? :blink:

Sdfhsdkjfhnys hasnt had a save to make bar one right at the start

[milla]

Gonna put a tenner on Arshavin as our first sub, any taker? :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Theo :bow:

Another assist for an RVP goal

And people want him dropped :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

That is as close to as bad a half of football we've played since OT. Luckily for us, Villa are an abomination.

On a whim I stuck a tenner @ 7/2 on RVP to score the first goal.

Me. :bow:

[Rors]

A bit of a performance at last.

Little victories :bow:

[Alpha]

Very disappointing first half and poor line-up from Wenger . Our midfield giving ball away easily and exposing the defence . Walcott very poor just like against City . I could have played Miguel at the left , Meter and Verm at the centred and Koshielny at the right . We could have been more solid . Coq exposed his inexperience too much . Scary .

[Cripps_orig]

2nd half starts

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Albrighton. He gets the 20,000th. :doh:

1-1

Albrighton

[Thierrymon]

Ugh thats so soft.

[Master Splinter]

Vermaelen :doh:.

Albrighton :bow:.

[RomfordPele]

Sloppy beyond belief.

[Rors]

I don't have a clue what actually happened - cheers Murray - but yeah, Super Marc!! 20,000th goal too, should anybody care about such a thing (money does go to charidee though)

[Cripps_orig]

Shocker from Verm there

Left Merte with no chance

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guzan denies Mertesacker.

[Cripps_orig]

Guzan saves from Merte

[Jack-of-Hearts]

wow. Maybe now we can start playing

[Xhaka Can’t]

This is poor stuff.

Really really poor.

[Thierrymon]

Really need three points here. Come on gunners!

[RomfordPele]

Any chance of a proactive substitution before we go 2-1 down, Arsene?

[Cripps_orig]

Free kick in a decent position for Villa

[Syn]

Any chance of a proactive substitution before we go 2-1 down, Arsene?

You know the score. 65 mins, Arshavin on. 75 mins, Chamakh on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Frimpong off, Rosicky on.

[Cripps_orig]

Rosicky on

Frimpong hauled off

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

[Cripps_orig]

We're getting on top

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo. :doh:

FFS Vermaelen.

[Ralpheroo72]

4 points behind the spuds, and weve played 2 more! :badger:

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey :doh:

[Globalgunner]

Theo is such a poor footballer. has no guile whatsoever. He couldnt beat his grandmother at anything except a foot race

[Cripps_orig]

Theo is such a poor footballer. has no guile whatsoever. He couldnt beat his grandmother at anything except a foot raceHe won the penalty by beating a player...

His grandmother plays for Villa?

[Cripps_orig]

We are so sloppy today

[Cripps_orig]

Arteta is awful

Gervinho has been anonymous

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP booked for diving.

[Cripps_orig]

How the fuck is that a dive?

[RomfordPele]

Err, right so that was a dive was it??

[Master Splinter]

WTF?

RVP fell over.

Ref :doh:.

[GP]

Err, right so that was a dive was it??

Not even close. Ref is a bender.

[Cripps_orig]

Petrov :lol:

[dazthegooner]

Well the ref is a fat bastard looks like he's gonna have a heart attack...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benayoun and Arshavin on, Ramsey and Gervinho off.

No Oxocube again then.

[Cripps_orig]

Arshavin and Benayoun on

Gervinho and Ramsey hauled off

Wenger :doh:

[Young Guns 11]

So many players have been awful today, especially gerv and ramsey.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

So many players have been awful today, especially gerv and ramsey.

Its that time of year where you find out who really wants to play and whose a lazy bastard.

[GP]

Can we score a goal now please?

[Cripps_orig]

Benayoun :doh:

Why bring on a pointless shite ass player ahead of Oxface?

[RomfordPele]

Awful game this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sort it out Arshavin, FFS.

[Master Splinter]

Oh dear Arshavin.

Wenger :doh: for actually putting him on a football pitch.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I really don't know what anyone sees in Ramsey.

Unfair to single him out I suppose when everyone has been so poor, but I just don't rate the guy.

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

[Cripps_orig]

I really don't know what anyone sees in Ramsey.
