Arsenal v Aston Villa F.A. Cup 4th Round Post-Match Thread

[Chris Smith]

You'd think we'd just lost to Walsall judging by the tone of this thread. Arsenal played very well in the second half, they're a good side full of good good players with the best striker in the league playing for them. Yes, we made mistakes with the goals but we're a club in the process of downsizing and they're in the knockout stages of the Champions League. That's not to make excuses for how we conceded but to put some perspective into events, they're better than we are so we need for them to have an off day or us to have all the luck going.

Let's just skip all the games leading up to the final then, and play it between the top two teams in the division.  Oh hang on, they've both been knocked out.

Like I said have an off day, like Manu yesterday. Second place knocking out first place hardly falls into the same category as us at Arsenal.

11 games this season we've let in 2 or more goals, and a couple of them we won. Don't need to be a genuis to see where the problems are.

Not scoring enough goals. If we were getting 3 every game, job done!

heh. worrying thing is if the goals dry up or Bent or gabby get crocked because without them we're Birmingham last season.

Take away two stupid tackles by two experienced players who should know better, and we should be in the next round.

Their other goal was quite poxy to be honest.

Have we ever had a pair of full backs who have been so consistently shit and given away quite so many goals in a season as Warnock and Hutton?  Truly the direst comedy double act since Cannon and Ball.

Reminded me of QPR away.

Because it's what he does.

Because we haven't been winning very often under McLeish?

He was obviously busy last week.

In fairness, this season you could argue that this season most of all of our posts come after games we haven't won.

Couldn't have put it better myself. The pair of them cost us a place in the 5th round today. I hope Lerner was watching that mess today. He's caused it with his penny pinching.

A cup run would have been nice. A beacon of hope amongst the general mood. We'll just play out the season now finishing 12ish.

Apart from 30 mins in the first half at Wolves I thought we played well.

They are terrible all right. How come we can see it and AM can't ?
