slowandlow Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 if we can't even sell out vs man yoo with 5k (guestimate - includes in the villa end) of there fans in the ground then id say 35-37k was probably about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Are Barnsley going to make a late burst for the play offs then? About as likely as us staying up unless we get some quality in in January. However I have my doubts as Lambert has said he plans to stick with the youth policy, which is serving us so well.

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 We'll either roll over and let them trample all over us or we'll capitulate after a promising start in which we take the lead. Either way, we'll lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undesirable Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'd be tempted to stick a man on Carzola to try and take him out of the game. He's Arsenal's main threat and pulls the strings. I know that we should play to our own strengths but i just wonder if sticking someone like Holman on him who will follow his every move and neutralise him may be a good idea.

Could Holman counter Carzorla's nous though? He would run for the whole game though definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would run for the whole game though definitely We don't have anyone on the pitch who reads a game like Carzola but like you say he'd follow his every move, if not pre-empt it.

AshVilla Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I think Podolski will be their main threat in this game The lad is quick and i think he will expose us at the back I expect Giroud to be relatively quiet though and shackled by Concrete Ron Will Gervinho play as well? I expect Wenger to target our fullbacks like fergie did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 If for nothing else I hope we win just to end some of the inane bickering in the VT section for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I would have hoped for more considering the opposition and it would make more sense for people to get behind the time now as I'm sure they won't be so keen to turn up next season when we are playing the likes of Barnsley. On a cold, wet, dark evening in November with the prospect of watching us get a good hiding I think 35,000 would be quite an achievement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite an achievement? If we cant get close to capacity against a top 4 team then what is the point in having a 42,000 stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think quite a few clubs have stadiums that are far bigger than the team on the pitch is capable of filling! People won't turn up and pay good money to watch if the product is poor and the outcome is all but cast in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I was having a chat to a arsenal fan in the pub this evening and he said he hates playing Villa because we have turned into there bogie team.. He went on to say that we always give them a game at VP and we are hard to beat. Depending on what mood arsenal are in he is actually expecting a slip up tomorrow and we will snatch it. Personally I just hope we give it another good go like we have shown against manure & first half of city and I also have a feeling we might just actually sneak this but very very narrowly. .
