Wenger also seems to forgotten all the fouls committed by his own side prior to our first penalty. After that, they were simply a shambles.
Remember martin Keown treating Van Nistelrooy with respect!
Who was it that keown wound up and when the guy stepped towards him keown shit himself and screamed ? Was that keown or winter burn I'm thinking of?

After that, they were simply a shambles.Spot on, Pete.Arsenal set the tone for the game in those first 20 minutes, where they bullied our midfield. I was really concerned at the aggressive approach from Arsenal and the fact the referee was letting them get away with it. It was strange to see an Arsenal side revert to that type of play as their strength is to play with the ball. What Wenger had said to them before kick off we can only guess but they certainly came out kicking and fouling.Once we matched them the game got very ragged and it was no surprise 10 yellow cards were dished out. If they'd sticked to what they're best at they probably would have comfortably beaten us. They weren't bullied, they were out fought, out thought and we were out of there with a deserved 3 points.
An odd place to put it, but as we are talking Arsenal, I detest Wilshire.Diving, cheating, whining little bitch that he is.
I've written a piece on exactly this subject, which can be found here (plug while we're waiting for the football to start!):"There was nothing to suggest the improved Villa won because of brutality. They have simply learned the art of standing up for themselves..."Read more: http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/news/19-08-2013/aston-villa-add-bite-to-their-premier-league-start/842992#ixzz2cd2XbLPD
