Surprised we have gone unchanged but can’t say the lads you played so well vs Man City don’t deserve it.

No Olsen

No Olsen
Wonder if he's injured? I was kind of expecting him to play against Zrinjski.
-
No Olsen
He weren’t in the squad on Wednesday either….UTV!!
-
Damn good Arsenal team I must say.
-

True. Looking at the bench it's strong though I'd like to see some competition back up in central midfield. Competition is near impossible. Big Tim should be knocking on that door.
-
I see Unai doesn't believe in any rotation. We had a tough gig on Wednesday and this could be a match too far I fear. No changes for us and they have had an extra days rest
-
Damn good Arsenal team I must say.
As close to their first choice eleven as possible I think. I think we're the same though, so it's a good match up - no excuses for either side!
-
Win please.
-
I just hope for two straight games we can raise ourselves to the same levels. It’s going to be really hard, but this is the challenge as Emery was saying in his press conference. We need to get comfortable with this level and expectations.
-
Damn good Arsenal team I must say.
Is it? I rarely pay them much attention. I just hope the ref doesn't buy a Saka dive in our box.
-
I think Raya could be the weak link for them. Didn't look great against Luton.
-
Luton really played well and got into them. We won’t be as charitable at the back and we need to take our chances. Like Man City we cannot allow them to have the ball for any length of time. They have the ability to tear us open. Take the game to them right from the off.
-
Come on Villa, another home win, the outright record of home wins in a row, and beating the top two teams in the league to break the record would be absolutely incredible. At the start of the season when these fixtures came up I thought 2 points from them would a great return, we're already past that and I genuinely think we can take six. Come on boys! UTV!

-
Ffs, Konsa at right back? ;)
-
Arsenal worry me more than Man City. They can go with both pace or passing teams out of position.
-
I think we will need to make subs earlier than usual today, no later than 60.
-
Ffs, Konsa at right back? ;)
He did well there against Cit£h.
-
Wonder whats up with Cash? Konsa at RB worked well midweek, but is it tactical, or is he carrying a knock? Mentally devastated at murdering that Spurs guy?
-
Ffs, Konsa at right back? ;)
Oi! That's my line!
-
Their team looks pretty good. To win this would be incredible, I'd take a draw but desperate to beat these idiots. Arteta is one of the least likeable managers in the league.
-
Just win please, and let's see how complimentary Captain Scarlet is about us after the game.
-
I see Unai doesn't believe in any rotation. We had a tough gig on Wednesday and this could be a match too far I fear. No changes for us and they have had an extra days rest
I don't remember it being a tough gig.
-

Captain Scarlet with Destiny Angel eyebrows.
-
Arsenal only have a midfielder Rice who is effective in stopping our central players Havertz, who is in good goal scoring form , and Odegaard are light weight and their strength isn't containing or tackling. I expect us to over run them in that area.
The wide areas are an issue as that's arsenal strength and I still feel confident of the 3 points.
I suspected Cash wouldn't start and rather have Konsa in that role.
Thinking out midfielders can get through and a strong offensive showing.
We want 15 home wins!
I wonder if Hanks, Southgate or Prince of Wales are there tonight I reckon at least one of them!
Let's Go Villa Lets Go!
-
I think their midfield 3 is pretty attacking, basically playing 2 10's. Could be where we dominate or slaughtered but I don't fancy Havertz digging in.
-
Ffs, Konsa at right back? ;)
Oi! That's my line!
Ha ha!
-
This is on the BBC text.
Five games down. One massive one still to come. It's third versus second as Aston Villa host Arsenal in around 20 minutes.
Even a few weeks ago I was looking at these fixtures in December and thinking how tough they'd be. Never once crossed my mind that it would be 2nd vs 3rd. Still feels surreal.
-
Wonder whats up with Cash? Konsa at RB worked well midweek, but is it tactical, or is he carrying a knock? Mentally devastated at murdering that Spurs guy?
Where do I begin? Lacks football intelligence, poor positional play, four yellow cards, and a lack of discipline. There are too many off-field distractions.Probably does not pay attention at team meetings.
He's not an Emery player, and I've had my suspicions that he's not the right man for the job. He missed wonderful chances away at Newcastle and Liverpool, and I believe his best performance came at Burnley.
Since Emery took over, for me, Cashy has exhibited the least development of all the big players.
Konsa has been terrific and has demonstrated adaptive play.
Youngt last season was often first choice.
Plenty of matches to come and he can play Thursday anyways.

..... no.
-
I never go out anymore, hardly ever anyway. But it’s our annual meet up, all my mates and wives included for Christmas meal. So I’m going to miss this one.
Must admit I’m far more nervous over this game than I was against Man City. I think on their day Arsenal are a better team. Saka seems in very good form and Ødegaard is a fantastic player.
I hope we’ve got another gear and haven’t worn ourselves out and can raise the bar again tonight.
-
Just put Sky on. All about what Arsenal can do ATM. GRRRRR
-
Just win please, and let's see how complimentary Captain Scarlet is about us after the game.
Captain Scarlet with Destiny Angel eyebrows.
More like Captain Black.
-
Won’t lie. I’m bricking it. It’s a different bricking it though. All those years of bricking it because the consequence was the fear of what is below. Now it’s because I so want us to win to grab the opportunity of what is in front. Fuck I love this club.
-
They have a stronger first XI than the one Man City put out the other night. Especially in midfield.
-
I see Unai doesn't believe in any rotation. We had a tough gig on Wednesday and this could be a match too far I fear. No changes for us and they have had an extra days rest
Burn the heretic!!!!!
-
Come on Villa.
FTF 8)

I feel you. I’m more nervous now that it feels like there’s really something to achieve
-
They have a stronger first XI than the one Man City put out the other night. Especially in midfield.
Rice yes but not the other two . Offensively they offer more but defensively they can be got at!
-
Unstoppable at home
Martinez learnt his lesson after last season . I expect an inspired performance.
Will be good to stuff these and shut up the media lot!
Emery this is destiny
Come on!!

Been there once in the 81/82 season. Difference is I no longer go but the feelings are just the same. nervous in a great way rather than dreading the outcome of relegation.
-
Let's go Aston, let's go *clap clap*
Let's go Aston, let's go *clap clap*

To quote an ancient Irish saying, "Jaysus, me nerves!"
-

Man City had Stones, Akanji and Lewis in Midfield. You think that's a stronger midfield than Arsenal's? Behave yourself.
-
Shit, that ninkompoop Jarred Gillet is the ref.
-
Ugh. Carragher on co-comms.
-
Lost the toss. Attacking Holte first half.
-
Ugh. Carragher on co-comms.
We get Jon Champion (who always sounds like he's summarising rather than commentating) and Andy Townsend.
-
Not sure how confident I feel about today. 2 high intensity performances in 4 days is a big ask.
-
No foul lol
-
There's a warning
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
SJMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
-
shit on it :)
-
That was a thing of beauty...get in!
-
That was a beautiful goal. Work of art.
-
Bailey with yet another assist
-
yesssssssssss
-
Get the fuck in!!!
-
Get the fuck in!
-
Brilliant
-
What a goal that is, fucking brilliant build-up, ripped them to shreds.
-
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!
-
Holy shit! Liquid football!
-
McGinn goal
https://twitter.com/MignonT13842/status/1733541366523732351
-
That was just some beautiful football. Intricate yet direct at the same time.
-
Tingling
-
Im liking this version of Bailey!!!!
-
Oh my fucking days.
YESSSSSSSSSSS!
-
(https://i.ibb.co/k2L182p/IMG-1249.jpg) (https://ibb.co/k2L182p)
-
That goal has stimulated me in a way that I haven’t felt in quite a long time. Stunning.
-
What a goal, lovely quick passing from back to front, then great play from Bailey to set it up
-
Lovely stuff keep it up
-
More of the build up
https://twitter.com/starsballsve/status/1733541579896365310
-
Beautiful to watch. absolutely fantastic stuff. Not seen this kind of footy since the Saunders era. These lads are probablt better.
-
that was an Arsenal type goal in the Henry/wenger days from Villa
-
Bailey's just sensational this season.
-
Don't let arsenal dictate the play.
-
Tielemans to Bailey, again.
Quite a good understanding those two have
-
Just to make things even better, I've got the house to myself this weekend, there's piece of fillet steak coming up to room temperature in the kitchen, and the bottle of Vinsobres I've just opened is bum-smackingly good.
UTV!
-
Twice Kamara has been knobbled with no punishment
-
is Kamara not wearing shin pads? That's very bizarre for a ball wining type of player
-
Tielemans to Bailey, again.
Quite a good understanding those two have
Tielemans vision and passing is quite outstanding
-
Just to make things better i'm eating a pack of jam doughnuts from Tesco.
-
Bailey's just sensational this season.
now I know why the MAnure and Liverpool fans said to me ' how the fuck did you sign Leon Bailey , hes quality'
-
Just to make things better i'm eating a pack of jam doughnuts from Tesco.
Save me one please :)
-
Well, we already know the referee's a ******.
Studs on Bouba's ankle there and he waves it on.
-
If Kamara has his foot on the floor and havertz made the same contact that's not just a foul but a yellow card to boot, really poor from the ref to let studs to the ankle go because they both had their feet up.
-
I'm away this weekend, got the match on in the hotel and the bar is full of Tarquin. Imagine how unpopular I am cheering as I did. Haha
-
Just to make things better i'm eating a pack of jam doughnuts from Tesco.
I'd swap, to be fair.
-
We area little sloppy in possession at the moment.
-
Can’t let Arsenal play too much with it.
-
What's with this not scoring more shite?
-
shirt pull yellow come on ref
-
Tielemans is getting better every game. Gets the ball and bombs for ward very quickly. A great link up player
-
Havertz should have been off by now, 2 clear yellow cards not given.
-
Nice flowing river would be really appreciated.
-
Tis the season to foul Villa players with impunity
-
and there's the first bit of Saka acting like a sickly child who can't take a challenge, he's a good player but the play-acting is utterly pathetic.
-
I wish Townsend was a little bit more on our side
-
this ref is shite
-
What's the history with Saka for the booing?
-
Fucking referee is letting them get away with everything.
-
Two yellow cards not shown.
-
We’re not quite as assured on the ball they’re definitely carrying a threat.
-
What's the history with Saka for the booing?
He's a diving little cheat, that's the history.
-
I wish Townsend was a little bit more on our side
He is overall. He always speaks well about us and loved being captain. He’s trying to be balanced. I can respect that.
-
What's the history with Saka for the booing?
He's a whiny little twat who spends most of his time on the deck?
-
We’re not quite as assured on the ball they’re definitely carrying a threat.
Well to be fair the table suggests they have been the best team this season prior to today
-
Finally a yellow
-
Bailey fucked
-
Bailey in pain?
-
What's the history with Saka for the booing?
He's a whiny little twat who spends most of his time on the deck?
Gotcha thanks :)
-
Hospital pass played to Torres and he turned it into a first time 30 yard pass straight to Bailey's feet.
Immaculate.
-
What's the history with Saka for the booing?
He's a diving little cheat, that's the history.
Thank you :)
-
watkins touch at times
-
Bad from Olliel there. Luiz would have been away
-
We’re a bit passive here.
-
Ayew got booked for that earlier today
-
Phew
-
A bit ragged at the moment
-
Ayew got booked for that earlier today
Yep, ref is being really soft with them, could've given 4 yellows so far.
-
offside anyway
-
RIP Benjamin Z. Only found out today. Holte end season ticket holder and A good bloke. Apart from being famous.
-
I think I'm in love with Pau Torres.
-
Some loose passing by us.
-
We've dropped in intensity since the goal.
-
havert 3 fouls?? no card
-
All a bit loose, this...
-
Well done Emi
-
I wish Watkins' first time control was a bit better. It's bouncing a long way off him.
-
where does SJM have the energy from??? this is guy is incredible!
-
We are not on it here. They’re going to score if we don’t switch on.
-
save emi wake up villa
-
We have dropped a couple of levels since the goal. I think Unai might freshen things at HT.
-
They're at full strength, it was always going to be a harder game than City.
-
Yikes. We've got another hour yet.
-
got to put that away
-
Offside
-
Another scorchio before half time would be just the ticket.
-
A. Has to score there.
B. Not offside.
-
I think we're playing the game really well
-
Emi again
-
Bailey has given the ball away quite a bit...
-
I feel physically sick.
-
They're giving us a lot more problems than Man City did
-
Going back to Saka he was culpable this very night a year ago for 1st French goal. Dived moaned at ref they moved it forward and he wasn't covering
-
I don't think Emery will be happy with this so far, although we're not doing too bad.
-
We’re second best here. They’re picking us off in our third, need to sharpen up.
-
2 mins added time
-
They are going to score eventually. I’d be blown away given how we’ve conceded some soft goals this season if we suddenly kept out both Man City and Arsenal in the space of a week
-
Loving the score, but they’re comfortably outplaying us at the moment. Time for an Unai rocket at half time
-
Maybe Ramsey on at HT but who do you take off?
-
Bailey down again
-
Bailey down again
Yeh. Diaby is going to come on in the second half. He’s not been moving well for a bit and has been such an effective outlet for us.
-
HT. And relax
-
I'm not sure I agree with the idea they're outplaying us, we've scored and had the best 'other' chance on top with the Watkins one a few minutes ago.
I don't think there's been much in it overall.
-
Bailey's gone off the boil since he went down holding his leg. Might see Diaby in the second half.
-
We need to test Raya more. He’s a liability
-
Glad it’s half time. We need a rethink because if it continues like that they’ll score.
-
Some restbite. This is what's called a precious one goal lead.
-
Only one shot on target. Are we Man City in disguise?
-
Glad for HT there. They look much better than City/we look tired.
-
Only one shot on target. Are we Man City in disguise?
😎
-
We're finding it difficult to spin their midfielders.
-
Need to start the second half strong again. They capitalised on a lot of 50/50s in the final 15 minutes there that led to a lot of pressure. Think Diaby closer to Ollie might be a good move if Bailey isn’t fit. Still - we are ahead. 45 mins to go lads
-
Started really well, but gave the ball away far too many times, especially in Central areas, as the half went on.
We can get at them though.
-
Decent enough...but would like to see us go at them a bit more as they look shaky at the back.
I am taking an increasing dislike to the asshole ref. He has been a twat to us before and I see it building again. Arsenal should have had another couple of yellows and him not giving free-kicks for the fouls on Konsa and Kamara (twice) were poor.
-
Their midfielders look a lot better than what we saw against Man City, but we also look to have tired legs. A lot of tripping on the ball and such.
-
We’re clogging up the midfield and nullifying Rice & co, but when we get the ball we’re rushing it sometimes and losing the ball. Still, rather be up 1-0 than the other way around.
-
I'm worried about this referee - played beyond the 2 mins when they where attacking, when we won it back he blew up.
What's with shirt pulling no longer being a yellow, when the foul is given?
Hmm.
-
All their attacks have come from our piss poor touch, basically. Need to sort that out.
-
Emery has vital decisions to make on substitutions here.
-
Douglas Luiz looking a bit ropey that half. But Arsenal can do that to you.
Maybe the recent volume of games catching up with a few of ours.
-
Come on me Villa babbies!
-
Too many passes missing the weight, we're creating our own problems. Watkins hopefully will put his boots on the right feet at half time, nothing sticking to him. If Diaby replaces Bailey he needs to be more of a threat than he has been recently. JJ I'm not sure is fit enough to play 45 minutes right now, it would be wonderful if he is as we need to take the game to them more.
That said, for all the Arsenal pressure they haven't really troubled us. Emi has made sure of that.
-
Is it weird that I'm disappointed that we're not dominating against the team that were top of the league this morning? I guess this is how games SHOULD be between the top sides, tight, difficult to create clear cut chances and both sides always one mistake from conceding.
Arsenal have been a very good side for a couple of seasons now, and they're a good side tonight. I think we're going to need a second if we're going to win, but I imagine Emi has never been more motivated for a clean sheet.
-
We haven’t played nearly as well as we did Weds, but here we are, 1-0 up!
Need to just look after the ball a bit better.
-
Let's make some history Villa
-
They are closing down in Defence more than City. need to use the wings more to catch the middle . We can do this lads
-
I'm worried about this referee - played beyond the 2 mins when they where attacking, when we won it back he blew up.
What's with shirt pulling no longer being a yellow, when the foul is given?
Hmm.
This ref lets a lot go - and we should know this by now, he was the ref at Chelsea and one of our other games at least. We need to stop the going down easily and waving hands around lark, it won't work today.
-
I am taking an increasing dislike to the asshole ref. He has been a twat to us before and I see it building again. Arsenal should have had another couple of yellows and him not giving free-kicks for the fouls on Konsa and Kamara (twice) were poor.
Absolutely! He's poor, not in control, making it up as he goes along. Against Man City were saw a ref that was fair to both teams. The difference tonight is massive.
-
Doing OK. Need a 2nd though.
-
Doing OK. Need a 2nd though.
The worst kind of lead is a 2 goal lead. Apparently
-
If it continues this way, need to use the subs early, no later than the hour mark.
-
Maybe Moreno on to push Saka back a bit as he’s more mobile.
-
Bailey coming off.
-
Table as it stands

He has, but I'd like to see Bailey try and isolate Zinchenko a bit more in the second half. I know our game isn't normally about taking players on in the middle third, but he's on a booking, and Bailey's quick feet mean he's one mis-timed tackle from a red, which means he's more likely not to risk a challenge. I think there's some joy to be had there second half.
-
We were playing too many loose passes and Arsenal were onto them almost every time. Need to be much better in possession.
-
Great goal and doing ok.
Hope we don’t tire 2nd half.
Subs I reckon
-
Diaby coming.on
-
Diaby for Bailey. Big chance for Diaby to show us some good stuff!
-
Table as it stands

Ball-tingling.
-
Great start but we have struggled since. Can't get Luiz particularly or Tielemans into the game. Diaby won't weaken us, need to get after Zinchenko.
-
causing ourselves problems
-
Seen them given.
-
Cmon Diaby
-
Phew
-
Really careless.
-
So sloppy in possession this time.
-
Need to wake up a bit
-
Diaby's going to score tonight.
-
Konsa struggling at RB
-
I’m tense. Not enjoying this so far.
-
Konsa struggling at RB
Looks tired like a few of them.
-
giving the ball away too cheaply
-
Seen them given.
Yep - once I saw the replay I was convinced he was being sent to the monitor. VAR is weird.
-
digne first foul yellow
havert 3 fouls fuck all
-
They're pressing us really well.
-
Digne now on a 1 match ban
-
Saliba hasn't given Watkins a kick. Nothing is sticking to him tonight at all.
-
Seen them given.
Yep - once I saw the replay I was convinced he was being sent to the monitor. VAR is weird.
Me too. Would have been soft but could easily have been given.
-
Altogether now IF SAKA PLAYS FOR ENGLAND SO CAN I...
-
Fuck me Villa
-
We really need to get a better foothold in this.
-
We need some subs on here.
-
Saliba hasn't given Watkins a kick. Nothing is sticking to him tonight at all.
That's because Saliba is world class. His injury was the sole reason Arse didn't win the title last season.
-
need to sort this out
-
Seen them given.
Yep - once I saw the replay I was convinced he was being sent to the monitor. VAR is weird.
It would've been ridiculously harsh, especially given there was as much contact on Luiz from Jesus in the first place as there was for the 'foul'.
Moving on, Digne booked for pulling a shirt when Havertz just got the foul earlier, it's not corruption but it's blatant unconscious bias.
-
Altogether now IF SAKA PLAYS FOR ENGLAND SO CAN I...
And you know what you’ve done there.
-
JJ on Tielemans off
-
Always going to be a lot to match Wednesdays levels, but we've been really flat for most of this game. Really need a second goal as I can't see us keeping these out
-
Tielemans looks fcuked.
-
I'd be getting Digne off today. Saka has his number and I could see a 2nd yellow coming.
-
Hanging on a bit now, look knackered
-
Phew
-
We really need to up it. We’re not threatening at all now.
-
Need to calm this storm.
-
Jammie Carragher. Not biased at all.LMFAO
-
Fcuking hell I’ve just followed through.
-
They are feckin quick closing our players down when we get the ball. We're finding it difficult to get anything going.
-
If there's one thing I hate about French commentators, it's their innate pro-Woolwich bias.
Wenger's fault.
-
Phew again
-
Our passing isn’t sharp. It’s sloppy and hopeful at the moment. Need to weather the storm and put some pressure back onto them
-
We look fcuked.
-
Backs to the wall stuff now. Loosing possession far too easily.
-
One game too far?
-
We really need to keep it for a bit. We're looking for the Hollywood pass every time. Just slow it down!
-
One game too far?
4 games in 10. 2 against the best in the country. It’s been brilliant and will be amazing to come away with a point let alone more.
-
We really need to keep it for a bit. We're looking for the Hollywood pass every time. Just slow it down!
Absolutely!
-
They are all over us. We can’t string a couple of passes together.
-
Finally a Villa chance
-
got to score that
that wins us the game
-
I'd probably take the point if offered it now.
-
One game too far?
4 games in 10. 2 against the best in the country. It’s been brilliant and will be amazing to come away with a point let alone more.
Absolutely. Whatever happens tonight, we're still very much in that Champions League conversation, and that's the priority.
-
Phew again
Less Phew!-ing and more Schorchiooo!-ing please
-
Saka shit
-
Luiz booked, and now a ban. So Digne and Luiz out the Brentford game
-
I have just changed streams from a sky one to whatever Townsend is on and it's about a day behind.
-
cry baby saka
-
Not even close, so why the late flag
-
We look like we played Man City in the week.
It’s a tough few days for us. Not many runs of games will be this tough
-
We are just gifting them the ball.
-
Luiz and Digne out for Brentford now.
-
Looks like Cash and Donk coming on
-
Digne could & should have won it there.
-
Oh no. The Donk
-
Saka is a moaning little fanny
-
Not surprised Matty is coming on. Konsa being skinned
-
FFS just knock it about a bit! Stop rushing forward!
-
Can Donk score us a worldie?
-
Fuck off Saka, cheating shit, never a foul and then the ref makeas it worse with the booking, c**t.
-
Donk? Interesting...

Konsa off for Cash
Booby off for Donk
-
I would 100% accept parking the bus right now.
-
Can anyone explain why Saka didn’t just get carded for kicking the ball away?
-
Protect this one goal lead like its the crown jewels.
-
Why isn't Saka booked for kicking it away there?
-
At least Emery can see some of our lot look fucked
-

because the ref has to protect the precious little cherub from all the big nasty men who don't let him do whatever he likes.
-
Oh Ollie
-
Ohh close from Ollie!
-
You just know arsenal are gonna get a dodgy deflection in the 88th minute 😬

Potentially gonna be a long 25 mins
Trossard coming on for Martinelli
-
Nothing ever sticks when it’s a 50/50

I think you can't be done for time wasting if you're currently losing. If it's dissent he should be booked.
-
This is what top of the table football looks like.
-
Ref giving them everything right now
-
fuck off ref
-
Ref though
-
Jarred Gillet is a buffoon.
-
SJM booked
-
Yellow card my a**e
-
Hahahahaha how the fuck is that a foul or a yellow.
-
It's the ref show,folks
-
Ref is a dildo
-
We'll do well not to get a red with this ref
-
Zinchenko is a gobby little fucker, always in the ref's ear
-
The Ref is a limp windsock.
-
What's happening here is exactly why I asked whether this ref had done any Arsenal games recently. Their entire approach is to act like every tackle has involved them being scythed down and they roll around and sulk until he starts giving them soft free kicks and handing out sympathy bookings, it's cynical bullshit.
-
Cmon VILLA. Corner
-
Moreno looks like the last sub for us
-
We need a mighty Holte End roar now. Get the fans behind the team!
Come on!!!!
-
Nice try Cash
-
Nice touch and decent effort from Matty
-
Rice booked
-
Digne off for Moreno
-
got back in it again here
-
Fuck off Arteta
-
dendonker has done some great tackles
-
Moreno with some excellent defending. Love that guy
-
Clive's done well since he came on
-
Jesus off, Nketiah on
-
Our passing is bloody sloppy at times tonight.
-
Ref is a clown
-
At least another 20 minutes to go here.
-
Zinchenko always irrationally annoys me. He carries himself like the kid at school who thought he was way better at football than he actually was.
-
This is nerve wreking
-
Our passing is bloody sloppy at times tonight.
We look tired, really tired. Understandable, but it makes me worried for the last 10 + injury time
-
I’ve not had it in a few weeks, but here’s the return of the Villa related sphincter puckering
-

Except it’s happening at the top end of the table vs the arse end. Same feeling though
-
Ball hits the ref, he stops play, exactly as he should, 4 of the whiny, entitled little pricks stand around him moaning about it.
I really hate this bunch of wankers, whatever happens in the next 10-15minutes I hope they bottle it again.
-
Agreed Paul, cunttttts!
-
A drop ball, after Rice kicked it out
-
Fuck I can't watch.
-
These last 20 mins have been the longest 4 hours of my life.
-

I took my pension
-
This ref is a c unt
-
arsenal you are a fucking joke
-
The ref must have a fiver on the Arsenal scoring or getting something out of this game
-
Carlos booked, because an Arsenal player ran into him
-
Ref certainly has money on number of Villa yellow cards
-
The French co-commentator (whom I really like incidentally) has just described McGinn as "incroyable".
Je suis d'accord avec lui.
-
The twat wants to put 10mins on as he knows we’re knackered
-
These fuckers are going for 12 mins injury time in the hope that we will tire out.
-
Ref is great
-
These last 20 mins have been the longest 4 hours of my life.
I took my pension
Lol!
-
VAR check on their disallowed goal
-
That’s handball
-
whats goingon
-
No way that can be given
-
5 mins added time. But there's this VAR check
-
That’s not even close.
-
Shredsville, sphincter twitching.
-
Not enjoying this VAR check
-
Behave
-
hand ref did wel there
-
Check still going on
-
The call on the pitch is handball against Arsenal. No way they can call anything else
-
Nervous
-
Again, pretend to be in agony after every single challenge and, on the numbers, the ref will give them the benefit more often than not. Since Arteta came in they've done this consistently, to the point that I reckon it's probably trained for.
-
Goal does not count!!!!!
-
Phew
-
Get in lads. Thank fuck
-
Goal does not count!!!!!
Best post of the night
-
Now go up the other end and score
-

-
So 5 mins added time
-
Goal does not count!!!!!

Dame Judi is on the training staff.

Joke that it took so long for them to decide
-
We have ridden it tonight...
-
Fuck off Tarquin.
-
I feel sick
-
Exactly what the Fcuk are they checking that for so long?
-
Puckering bum hole
-
How much longer
-
This treatment to Martinez will translate to ref as play till Arsenal score
-
Goal does not count!!!!!

I love you, PWS!

I can smell last nights balti
-
This will go to 10 mins of extra time. It’s been 4 mins stopped so far.
-
I can smell last nights balti
Haha!
-
If we pull this off, it’s an unbelievable week
-
Keep the faith brothers and sisters, Emi’s after another clean sheet
-
Don’t do it to us Villa. See it through lads
-
I don't think I'm cut out for life at the top of the table.
-
Ahh man. My resting heart rate is about 120bpm currently
-
Keep a hold of it JJ
-
Turtling
-
You prick Havertz
-
Martinez is the king of shithousing
-
Turtling
I wish I would turtle. I’m like a gravy tap.
-
Fuck off again Tarquin
-
Haha fuck off Arteta
-
Come on Villa, stop time wasting, still time for another.
-
What ****** Arsenal are
-
Full time.
And relax.
-
Come on PWS! Let’s finish this now
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Brilliant
-
Fuck off Townsend, that from Havertz is every bit as unnecessary as the fouls you been calling Villa out for.
-
Full time.
And relax.
Thank fuck. Been refreshing every second for that post to appear.
-
Wow! What a week we've just had!
-
Get the fucking fuck in.

Full time.
And relax.

Incredible result given it was only two days after beating Man City.
What a great time to be a Villan.
