Agree with this line-up.

I probably can't watch this match live because i have to play football myself.. Going to watch it after my own match.

This will be an easy game for us. 4-0.
I want Carl Jenkinson back in a Arsenal shirt next season.

Which club do you play for?
A dutch 'mate' of mine, Erik Quekel plays for Helmond Sport, his younger brother Matthijs is also a pretty decent player (plays for Top Oss).
Also quite coincidental back in my 'gaming days' I used to play with a guy, about 4-5 years younger than me who used to play for NEC's youth squad. His name was Erwin Stadhouders, but don't think he broke trough, haven't spoken him for ages...
You happen to know any of these guys?

A home game, with a good support and confidence

Formation looks good Santos may get start, feeling like Theo might be rested with Gervinho and OX on flanks

If our players show the right attitude, i expect this to be a comfortable home win. If we win and Chelsea & Spurs draw, we will have a nice cushion in third place, which could be crucial with some tough fixtures still ahead.

There are no easy games at this level, we cannot take these guys for granted: Aston Villa have the ability to frustrate us by sitting deep and absorbing pressure.

That said, we should look to continue our good form and give Villa a damn hard time. Hit them fast and press from the start. Move the ball quickly and get in their faces. We're not out of the woods yet.

Agreed, Villa have a record of 3w 8d 3l away this season. They're not a bad team away from home by any means.

2nd fewest losses away in the league.

I'm worried about Van Persie's fitness for this match. He had a poor game by his standards on wednesday and he's still training with the aid of a calf support...

Indeed ARSH, he played around 40 games this season allready, completely burned torugh if you ask me.
But no worries, fortunately we have top quality strikers to replace him when he's rested/injured. :hiding:
