Has anyone else noticed that Brad Guzan, the Villa keeper, could pass as the big (or twin) brother of Verne Troyer (see bgo adverts)? (You see how I try to cope with the tension before kick-off, between the lunchtime game and the NLD?...............!!!!! Cup of tea, anyone?)
My wife has taken the kids over to her mums so I can watch the match in peace. Depending on how it goes lots of odd jobs that have needed doing for a while may end up getting done in the next couple of hours! Still think positive, have beer in hand and awaiting kick off with nervous anticipation Plus I put £30 on Arsenal to win which I really hope I lose, only wins me £20 but it softens the blow slightly.
After the Villa Citeh match they advertised one of the companies offering 5:1 on a goons victory for new customers only.
I'm trying not to get too up for this. I kind of expect us to lose, so anything else I'll take as a bonus.
Citeh drew today, and some potential rivals won this weekend. While I always hope for a draw at least from all away games, if there is real urgency in the squad they will realise the impact an away win will have.
Having confidence before a match isn't in your typical spurs fans thought process, especially away v Arsenal!
