Walcott given the chance to write his name in the history books. Excited for the game! I've got a thai curry, with battered lemon chicken on the side, a double decker multipack and a bottle of baileys to enjoy throughout the coverage today...
Interesting front lineup with the boss going for Walcott as our CF. I'm quite excited about this and if everything clicks, we can hit Villa hard. Plenty of pace up front and it will be interesting how Sanchez and Walcott link up.
Gordon Bennett, that's quite a load of food. Will you be going through the whole double decker multipack?
Hahaha, the more nervous the less I can eat. Some people are the opposite. If you're the latter then i feel for you as Arsenal makes it nervy most of the time!
English footballing media is soo backwards. I spend quite a lot of time in Germany and have to say the coverage over there has progressed soo much more than ours over recent years. We have to listen to Paul Scholes, Alan Shearer and the likes give cliche'd opinions on our side. Why does the team of the Season always have to be a 4-4-2? who the **** plays a 442 anymore? Why when they announce the lineups do any wide players get called midfielders?? Sigh.. the more I listen the more furious I get.
COYG!!! I really hope Villa give us as much space as West Brom did as Sanchez and Walcott will rip them apart, but I don't expect them to, so I hope we don't miss Giroud's hold up play. Anyway here's to a great game
