Arsenal v Aston Villa Post-Match thread

[Billy Walker]

To my surprise, Villa are fifth in the official Premier League form table after today's result (on the same points as Man Utd).  Fair play to GH and GMc.

Can't remember why we spent £8 million on Delph but there was probably a half-decent reason.

Because he's a very good player is my guess.

He covered a lot of ground today and showed some decent touches, he did look like a headless chicken at times, he has talent

[nick harper]

I had a fiver on Wolves, Blackpool, Wigan and Arsenal to win. I thought if those results came in and I had another week of torture, at least I'd take some comfort from the bookies. Never have I been so pleased to lose £75.

Great performance.

We needed  a satisfaction, one of the few of the season.
Well done Villa, UTV.

But we must not deceive ourselves, it's too easy with the  "ramshackle" Arsenal that we saw today, the impression is that their players were playing against their own manager.
On a hilarious note,  with Richard Dunne in action it's quite sure that you can't keep a clean sheet. The way he marked van Persie is simply ridiculous. 

Richard Dunne, a couple of mistakes aside was immense today. Not sure what game you watched.

Not sure how you can consider immense  a central defender "a couple of mistakes aside".

Well you can, players make mistakes all the time. He kept us in the game on more than one occasion.

I still think he's shit mind, I'm just not going to say it when he plays well.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but I thought the post match interview and Dunne presenting Darren Bent with the MOTM award was quite uncomfortable.

I got the impression that there was little love lost between them.

No doubt in my mind, the player to replace Ashley Young is Charles N'Zogbia. We should do the deals as soon as the season ends.

A teetotaler and a not-so-teetotaler. Who would have thought that they mightn't see eye-to-eye?

[andyh]

Feck me...I'm actually going to watch, AND AM LOOKING FORWARD to MOTD 2 tonight !!!!

[ez]

0-2 according to Pravda

So we did get a clean sheet.

I don't think Darren Bent's very comfortable facing the media anyway. I wouldn't read too much into that thirty seconds.

Dunne handing some booze over...uncomfortable..hmmm why would that be ?

Sorry if it has been mentioned, having just got home and too knackered to check, that was the most pathetic lap of honour I have ever seen.   I do hope we have not sent that nice Mr Wenger into retirement.

Sky Sports seemed to think there were hints of that - their outro ended on Wenger in black and white looking very fucking miserable and tired.
