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

[Benno_900]

Let's stop with the transfer BS - the season is still going ...

Let's do this!

 

[chef]

Go Villa.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Villa will be lucky to concede 2 at most I think. Just no match and Lady Luck is tied up for the time being.

 

[Flameboy]

Benteke double 2-1 to the Villans!

 

[Benno_900]

I believe Wenger will choose the wrong starting team .... 1-1 after normal time.

4-1 Arsenal after extra time.

 

[Hawks1994]

Come On You Gooners!!!

 

[elhadjihenry]

Think we will learn from last season and come out all guns blazing.

2-0 up after 15 minutes, sit on that scoreline for the next hour, Villa get one back with 10 mins to go and we just survive a nervy ending (including Villa hitting the bar at least once) to hold on.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Would be nice to see Aston Villa win a trophy.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Cmon Villa!

 

[jod23]

Ill be going for Villa just because it's always nice to see the smaller teams win trophies.

Plus I can say we lost to the eventual winners. Softens the blow and all that.

 

[Cruyff14]

The last 10 minutes won't be easy, because Arsenal don't do things easily.

Expect it to be very nervy.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Going for Aston Villa by default.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

C'mon Villa!

 

[Murraj1966]

Go you Villains!

Always had a soft spot for Villa in the EPL, and I can't think of a team i'll support in the EPL more until Celtic joins.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Well, I like Southampton more than I do Aston Villa, so go Arsenal!

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.

 

[Shoei]

I'm going to buck the trend and invoke the wrath of the footballing gods.

Arsenal 4 - 1 Villa.

Arsenal haven't lost to Villa in the last 9 meetings (8 wins 1 draw) with our last loss to them being 4 seasons ago.

Arsenal have also averaged 3 goals a game against Villa over that period - scoring 3 goals x 4 times and 5 goals in the last meeting between the two.

 

[Zidane98]

Benteke hat - trick. Arsenal are good for 1 trophy ever 10 years. Wouldn't seem right for them to win 2 in consecutive seasons.

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

Benteke hat - trick. Arsenal are good for 1 trophy ever 10 years. Wouldn't seem right for them to win 2 in consecutive seasons.

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.

 

[Dirty Bird]

*1 season ago

 

[HolyRioli]

*1 season ago

Still kinda makes my point

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

 

[Dirty Bird]

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