#AVLARS<\/p><\/div>\n

I was going to start the Villa preview when I read Guardiola\u2019s comments on Arsenal. So I decided to turn this into an event, with the match preview the final listing on the card. First we need Sideshow Bald to get off the stage.<\/p>\n

Now insofar as his comments go about not respecting Arsenal off the pitch, I might even agree with him. It\u2019s no secret that I have no respect or Raul Sanllehi and how he conducts his business. But that\u2019s because I care about Arsenal and I think he\u2019s harming us. Pep feels the need to shout \u2018let me at \u2018em\u2019 from behind an army of lawyers because he\u2019s upset at his club not being allowed to ride roughshod over the opposition. At this rate, I have more respect for Mourinho. At least he\u2019s aware he\u2019s playing a cartoon villain. Pep\u2019s had the best players and the ability to spend huge money at every club he\u2019s managed. He\u2019s also had a doping scandal in his playing career, and taken money to play in and shill for Qatar. The very same Qatar his club and their fans now decry. But he acts like he\u2019s the paragon of virtue. Interestingly, all of the main actors in this drama come from Barcelona. Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Raul Sanllehi, and Cheeky Burgerstain. “Mes que un club” indeed.<\/p>\n

Calling names<\/strong><\/p>\n

But speaking of names, let\u2019s move on to the main event. Villa are one of the traditional big names in England and Villa Park one of its famous grounds. They are fighting to stay up in the biggest domestic league, and they\u2019re doing it with a squad full of amazing names. I don\u2019t mean big name players, I mean players with fantastic names. Born Angels, Mings the Merciless, Court House, Marvelous Nakamba (not even making that up). Unfortunately, they are managed by the most boring names ever. Dean Smith and John Terry. They deserve to go down just for that travesty.<\/p>\n

They are 3 points behind Watford who play City just before our game. If Watford lose, as expected, then Villa and The Riley Gang may be more fired up and motivated to inflict defeat on Arsenal. Call it doom mongering but I have a weird feeling there will be a red card today, and I don\u2019t even know which team I should wish it for.<\/p>\n

Sheffield United\u2019s loss means we can climb up to 8th with a win, and within 2 points of Spurs in 7th. Which, apparently, gets us the final EL spot. But Spurs are playing Crustal Palace in their last game. Not a typo. They are a crusty dried out version of a football team\u2019s vomit right now having lost 7 straight games, including yesterday to Wolves. So is it a bit much to expect Spurs to be Spursy again? It would be a miracle by St. Totteringham. On the other hand, we are in the final of the FA Cup which is not only a trophy, but also a route to the EL. We can ill afford another suspension or injury. I\u2019m sure Aston Villa will be willing to \u2018test our resolve\u2019 and \u2018leave a foot in\u2019 and \u2018get about us\u2019. They are in, for them, good form too. Picked up 4 points in their last 2 matches, having got only 2 from the previous 10.<\/p>\n

Greasy boy Grealish is the danger man leading them in goals, assists, passes, shots, and yellow cards. I know some tout him as a transfer target for us, but it seems more like a case of a player standing out in a poor team. Hopefully doesn\u2019t stand out, in a good way, today.<\/p>\n

For Arsenal, Arteta will pick a side and we need to support all of them. Don\u2019t really care who plays today. Don\u2019t even much care how we play. I just want a win. Nketiah is back from his suspension and I expect he\u2019ll start. Willock and Saka might too. Them plus Nelson are all PL goalscorers this season. That makes us the first team since Middlesbrough 2007\/08 to have 4 U21 English goalscorers. Quite a mess Wenger left us in.<\/p>\n

Europe and an FA Cup win are the only proper ways to honor that legacy. Hopefully we\u2019re up to the task.<\/p>\n
