What’s that sound come from today’s match? The sound of revenge. For those of you unaware of the great rapper Chamillionaire, check him out for some tasty sounds.
While to me, today’s match is about revenge, Wenger and I are not on the same page:
“So on Saturday we just want to continue our progress, it is not about revenge at all. We feel we are on a good run so we want to be quiet and focus.”
I will be quick to admit that revenge bit was just an excuse to link to a cheesy rap song. Getting back at Hull for beating us 2-1 at the Emirates earlier in the season is a nice way to look at things, but in all honesty a win will do us nicely. This undermanned squad has put together a surprising 7-game unbeaten run, and continuing that will keep the distant chatter of a title alive. Remember though, a Champions League spot is a much more realistic goal to aim for, and keeping up or putting pressure on Villa is important.
The good news is that Hull City’s early run of form has dwindled, and they’ve struggled in their past few matches, dropping four in a row, including the now well-known pasting at the hands of Man City, where Paul Brown sat his troops down on the pitch for a halftime talk — or something like that. Speaking of Man City, the transfer news coming out of the UAE is ridiculous. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
Injury news is the same as usual. Gallas and Silvestre remain on the sidelines, leaving Djourou and Toure in the lineup, likely backed up by Alex Song. Not exactly a defensive powerhouse, those three. But I think they’ll have enough to get the job done. Today’s fixture won’t be easy even with Hull in a bit of a lull. Look at me rhyme, perhaps a poetry career is next? I’m off to bed, here’s to three points. Chatter is welcome below
