2-1 after falling behind in a very scrappy game. Weimann, Theo and Giroud, Rambo man of the match.

bad2dabone · 16-08-2013 09:28PM

Can't wait. It's like Christmas eve.

Im ignoring that We've no new presents

Buzzing for 3 tomorrow and hopefully be a good atmosphere

No one talking transfer ****e

Everyone just enjoying the beautiful game

I'm heading over and I cant tell you what a relief it will be for those 90 mins for 60000 gooners to be supporting the team (assuming we aren't getting beat!!)

COME ON YOU GUNNERS

We should win but wouldn't be surprised if we drew. Villa have a good young side and they are bound to click soon. They had a good end to the season. We lack it up forward but if our midfield and Defence play to their best abilities we should run out 2-0 winners. But it will be a tough watch.

gnfnrhead · 16-08-2013 09:37PM

I reckon Giroud will be looking to make a statement tomorrow given all the talk of a new striker. Would love if it was all a ploy by Wenger and Giroud goes on to break scoring records left and right

What I want tomorrow:
3 points.
No Injuries.
Thats it. I dont care if it's a scrappy 1-0 or a dominating 6-0.

Go read your last five posts and you'll see what he meant.

I don't want to be going on about Transfers but the team needs them and going into a season with the same team we finished 4th with doesn't give me hope . I need to spew my anger somewhere and seen as this is a Thread for the team I follow, I have to spew here. One great signing would have made me happy but nothing. I know it annoys you and other's that some fans talk about the lack of signings it's the same old stuff said but that's all we have to talk about.

Jaysus imagine the crowd reaction (and that of this thread) if after a few mins Benteke repeated his antics vs Malaga in Villa's recent friendly where with his sheer strength he not only shrugged off their CB (or say Koscielny in this case) and scored but also caused the guy to be out injured for 2 months :eek:

that nightmare scenario aside, there is something about the match tomorrow that makes me think it will be a really entertaining game.

this is the team likely to line up for Villa imo:

.......................Guzan

Lowton.......Vlaar...... Okore.... Luna

.....Westwood... Delph..... KEA

Weimann.......................... Gabby
.....................Benteke

Whats going to happen after you said this

0 points
a few injuries
and get beat at home

Lets not get cocky here, Villa have a good young side and have a very good forward line. They won't be push overs, we need to play at our best. Hopefully Giroud won't be missing all his chances. We won't be dominating that's for sure.

Our second signing.

Drexel · 16-08-2013 10:08PM

Is Ramsey goina play artetas role tomorrow? He's prob the best fit for it really I think. I presume santi if he starts will be on the wing. I wouldn't mind oxo been given a shot behind the striker. He only played about 15 minutes for England in their friendly and looked good.

Sounds like a decent prospect, surely if we sign someone in that age bracket in that position they've kind of lost faith in Jenkinson?

Anyway, I am absolutely pumped for tomorrow. Though the transfer **** will still be at the back of my mind I'm looking forward to talking about actual football. The one upside to having to qualify for the CL is we also get to watch two more matches over the next few weeks too.

And I think Sanga is goina be used more and more at centre back

bad2dabone · 16-08-2013 10:57PM

thats the only site with the info.

Corchia is a very good prospect, but we've got Bac, Jenks and the young Bellerin at RB.

Gringo180 · 16-08-2013 11:19PM

Cant see Jenkinson ever making it at Arsenal as much as he tries his heart out he just isnt good enough for a big club like ours. In other news Liverpool very close to agreeing a fee for Willian according to SSN.

Actually disagree, definitely think Jenko will make it, a season on loan would do him wonders, have every bit of faith in him.

I hope I am wrong but he just doesnt look to have that natural ability needed to play at the highest level, everything looks like hard work to him.

I find him very awkward and slow to react.
He might turn out alright but time will tell.

We have 4 fit defenders for tomorrow. Criminal from Wenger in my opinion and I find his statement today to be an attempt to stop an angry reaction from the fans tomorrow. Why wait until today to announce that we will sign 3/4 players? Playing for time now when he had all summer to do his business.

Very concerned at where my club is going.

Agreed at the moment, but nothing consistent game time and increase in confidence wouldnt fix in my opinion, we have been blessed with our two right backs ( Lauren and Bac) so will definitely have to step it up, but would love to see it and feel he will.

Alfred Borden · 16-08-2013 11:35PM

what does everyone think of Arda Turan? good little player playing central and the wings and a release clause of €24m. I would definitely get on that, then a CF, DM, CB and GK

Weakest squad we have had in the last 15 years, I am sick to death coming on here moaning about the state of the current team but it is just absolutely disgusting the way the club is been run. A disgrace we are!

16-08-2013 11:40PM

It's not even moaning about it, I just can't understand how they could do something quite so stupid without meaning to.

Can't get my head around this at all. No sense to it.

Gringo180 · 16-08-2013 11:45PM

Surely the players themselves have to be talking amongst themselves in training about how short we are on numbers and most importantly quality.

they absolutely have to be.

i'd say if we dont strenghten - and thats how it looks to me - it'll be a massive blow to our team spirit. Massive.

Alfred Borden · 16-08-2013 11:48PM

DC ‏@DLDN22 15s
