FA Cup Final 2015 - Arsenal vs Aston Villa @ Wembley [Sat 30 May, 17:30]

[Dirty Bird]

I'd consider anything beyond 2012 is practically irrelevant. The Villa squad has changed so much in that time, I'd suspect Gabby is the only constant

In football, I rarely look at anything older than 2 years old as player turnover is substantial.
In 3 seasons you'd probably have at least 50% of your starting XI different.

But we were replying to someone going back 9 games to 11-12, so I thought Id just do the same period and go back to 2011.

 

[Shoei]

Didn't you lose 3-1 at home on the opening day 2 seasons ago?

Sorry..i had blanked that out of my mind.

 

[Dirty Bird]

The day Arsenal fans turned on Arsene Wenger

Fair enough, I'm just dismissing the set time frame as partially irrelevant

So VIlla beats Arsenal every 2 years. 2011, 2013....2015?

Villa to win, Benteke to slot a brace.

 

[jod23]

Villa?
Small?

Though, I guess.... In comparison they are. We could say the same thing about Liverpool if they were playing Arsenal in the final.

Haha ok

1926-35 - 5
1936-45 - 2
1946-55 - 3
1956-65
1966-75 - 2
1976-85 - 1
1986-95 - 3
1996-05 - 7
2006-15 - 1

And that's only League and Cup. I'm not even counting their League Cup or Europe (Cup) trophies.

Arsenal to win 3-0

 

[windyhill]

3-1 Arse,and they'll do it heart in mouth Gooner style. Ultimate roller coaster club.

 

[Cruyff14]

I expect to be shouting at my TV for the last 10 minutes at least in frustration/anger.

 

[glenferry23]

Nothing is ever easy at Arsenal. If we get the win there will be plenty of nervous moments throughout.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bit crap it starts at 2.30am.

Used to start at 1 or 1.30 from memory.

Used to be midnight, Sir Les Murray with his foooodball, abide with me, game on.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah, that's right.

2.30 is ******* rubbish.

 

[Benno_900]

Yeah, that's right.

2.30 is ******* rubbish.

You can catch a replay as always.

 

[Cruyff14]

You can catch a replay as always.

What is your problem with me?

Why do you care how, or when I watch games? It has absolutely no bearing on your life, yet you feel the need to continuously bring this up.

Sorry I choose sleep sometimes over watching games. Maybe when you grow up you'll understand little one.

 

[Benno_900]

Sleep is for the weak, Apu.

 

[Dirty Bird]

What is your problem with me?

Probably the same as 80% of the board.

 

[Cruyff14]

Probably the same as 80% of the board.

You're as tough as a bloody flower so it's not saying much.

The 20% who like me are probably the good ones anyway

 

[Cruyff14]

See that Dirty Bird, the good ones like me

 

[Dirty Bird]

You got the 4th best poster to like it.
Lets see if the 3 better ones do too...

 

[Cruyff14]

Well I can't like my own post, so that won't be happening.

 

[Loonerty]

"best poster" is definitely objective

 

[Cruyff14]

...subjective
