Will the real Arsenal please standup, please stand up... tomorrow

After the last couple of weeks it's difficult to predict the way the match will go tomorrow let alone try and allude to the result. Based on the last week or so then Arsenal are probably favourites with a good win over United and all the players rested to let the kids have late night party before giving them notes to let them off school on Thursday. Aston Villa have lost their last two games and there have been comments that their squad have been looking tired as Martin O'Neill has played pretty much the same players in all competitions so far.

However, we all know that football and its associated Gods do not work in such a rational and logical manner so I'll be expecting a tight game which if we actually play with the same level of commitment as we did last weekend then we should win. The Guardian podcast yesterday summed it up with the comment of whether good or bad Arsenal turned up to lay good or bad Aston Villa. Maybe a few of the Carling Cup kids on the bench looking hungry to play might just convince the "first" team to work hard firstly and then play the football.

As you may know, living here in Switzerland has meant that I download a lot of podcasts tokeep up with the football news on the go and I even take time to listen to the 606 shows (despite some being extremely tiresome. On the plus side has been the return of Danny Baker (despite his anti-Arsenal kids in the Carling Cup rant though it was more to do with his seeing the whole competition as worthless) whilst the downside is the voice and views of Tim Lovejoy. Has anyone with less knowledge or ability to say anything interesting been given such a podium to air his views. Not only is he a moron as he has claimed "good" players shouldn't be sent off as the public want to see them play, he now has tried to keep up with Danny Baker by asking more obscure questions but basically it's just an attempt to air his pointless drivel.

RANT OVER

Good luck to all who are there tomorrow, including Greg with my ticket as he has only see us win once using it so far this season.
