I really fancy Villa to take all three points in this one. They have looked outstanding over the last couple of weeks while Arsenal have looked anything but.

I'm putting my money the same way..

DSB

If I was having an impartial bet I'd probably be putting some money on Arsenal to win, and probably lumping money on overs, with Zat Knight being included in the side. But I'm not betting on the opposition, not a hope.

Villain

I really wouldn't put money on villa our back line is missing 2 regulars

Knightmare. Why would I be so happy with a point all of a sudden?

Anyone got a stream? I've installed SopCast in anticipation.

Jeebus, didn't look at the line ups so I'm glad you said that, who is missing?

Necronomicon

Looking a good game so far, pretty open. Hopefully we'll see a few goals.

Feckin hell Arsenal off the hook there!

I see a 3-0 win for the villains

Christmas sucks!

Curtis has a bad habit of missing sitters.

Samurai

Seriously all over them!!

Helix

jesus christ it should be 2-0 already

this is worrying... we always balls up when we miss chances

Quazzie

Arsenal are looking well dodgy at the back. Seeing Silvestre start at keft back is never a good sign.

Quazzie

Some decent play there by diaby. Its nice to finally see an Arsenal player getting to the ball first

internelligent

Who's this Zat Knight guy again?

Time Magazine

Aston Villa's fourth-choice CB, capped for England under Sven.

Used to play for Fulham.

Ardent

Great atmosphere

Bounty Hunter

watching this match Villa look like a big 4 not just a top 4 side ahead of Arsenal so far.

Quazzie

It looks like its yet another half assed effort from Arsenal where none of the players could give a fuck abouth whether they win oe lose. Typical Arsenal at the moment, It seems most of the players are only there for their paychack.

None of them commit to a tackle, they all look distracted. I'll be very surprised judging on the first half an hour if Villa don't get a win here.

Samurai

NRC has been awesome, he could actually turn into a good rb

Helix

christ almighty are we ever gonna score

Kinetic^

Almost by Milner! Villa are playing great so far.

Bounty Hunter

Jaysus Almunia got lucky there as Milner almost scored

mormank

........and now Davies!! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!

Helix

jesus ****ing christ

Quazzie

The goalposts have been our best defender. I wonder would they let us stay down that end for the second half so we can keep it to save us in the second half

Time Magazine

Woodwork three ****ing times. COME ON VILLA!

Bounty Hunter

How the hell are Villa not winning!!! please dont screw us fate we dont deserve it, everyone likes Villa.

Samurai

I really feel like puching something...

no Andy gray Arsenal do not deserve luck for their goal, they have gotten that several times over in defense (the posts etc).

jesus_thats_gre

If it keeps going this way, Arsenal will win it..

Ardent

Great game. Villa woefully unlucky not to be at least 2 goals clear.

Doodee

hopefully the gunners lucking out will stop in the second half. Come on Villa!

mormank

test of mettle and character coming up in the 2nd half for villa

Villain

Well we have played Arsenal off the park but only one thing counts in this games Goals.

Beau x1

All I can say is I'm absolutely thrilled for Denilson. Really deserves that goal, he's been giving it a lot this season.

invincibleirish

Difficult to fault Arsenal for the goal, well taken and all that. But jesus Villa are dominating, Arsenal got that luck that we had last week i guess. So far.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Typical Arsenal performance. Completely and utterly dominated that half but can't get the ball in the net for love nor money. Then the other team who haven't offered anything going forward take advantage of fannying about trying to play the ball out of defence and its 1-0

.....wait ****, what?

Haha talk about stating the obvious.

jesus_thats_gre

Villa being able to dominate a team like they are is as clear an indication that are are worth their current position in the league. Playing some very mature football.
