Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

[TopDeck113]

Boos ring round the ground at halftime.  Villa players must think they're at home.

Dunne has ridden his luck, but well done.

[Fergal]

I dont believe what I am seeing here....

[Somniloquism]

We always get shit refs........Oh hang on

I think he is genuinely a shit ref anyway but we have been luckier to get more decisions go in our favour. That tackle on Petrov should have been a freekick at the end right on the edge of the box but he waved play on.

[Toronto Villa]

I don't think I can watch much more of this.

Yep, I might go take a nap and pretend this isn't on. Played golf at 7am so I'm knackered anyway. I can't to bear to think of what seems inevitable to happen in the 2nd half. Ignorance is bliss, and I'll take a 2-0 win.

So, good first half that, as it goes. And with, no doubt, the usual calm, composed defending from our lads the second half will be a walk in the park I expect.

Well, well, well...bugger me

You have to feel sorry for Sky willing Arsenal to win - must be such an inconvenience

I have a fiver on Villa to win this at 7-1 despite predicting we would lose 5-0. Still time to mess that up but at least we are not going down for sure now which is the most important thing

[hawkeye]

Delf and Downing have got to stop giving the ball away.

[Ad@m]

yikes. 2-0 up at HT. Who'd have thunk it?

OK, I'm a miserable bastard but all my chickens are staying uncounted!

This was the game I remember - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1696378.stm

We were 2-0 up at half time...

TV..... I have been thinking about what I can do for 45 minutes that will take my mind off the football so I don't have to content with the feeling in an hour of emptiness that comes with us having thrown away 29 points from winning positions this season.

[CJ]

Can't wait to hear Wenger about the ref on MOTD tonight

[ez]

Booing the ref probably

believe me, nobody on this thread today is counting chickens. And if you are - STOP!!

[JUAN PABLO]

Like the formation , not sure how long we can keep Delph on for , but bringing an albrighton or agbonlahor on , we would probably have to change that..

[TheSandman]

I still remember us jacking in a 4-1 lead at Spurs.

3 goals in the last 15 minutes wasn't it? We can lose three in 45 no problem with this team.

[JUAN PABLO]

i think Blackpool will get a point next week and tottenham will want europe.  fook blose in trouble  ;-))))
