Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread

[mrfuse]

Have we decided to come out for the second half?

I hadn't noticed we came out for the first!

[Villanation]

If Villa get a goal we could have a game on our hands Ho Ho Ho does someone pay these commentators.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

He is a percentage player and my guess is that Lerner has offered him a survival bonus which he is determined to get regardless of all other considerations.

Totally agree Brian, he's Mister Safety first and it wouldn't surprise me if there is £££ involved for survival.

So, I took my dog for a walk because I really couldn't be arsed to watch today. Before coming on here I thought I'd check the BBC site for the score and stats. I had a fear it could be bad. But fuck me. We may as well just handing them a white flag in the tunnel and saved everyone the trouble. This kind of utter bollocks does my head in to no end.

I'm honestly at the point of jumping on the get this fucker out bandwagon. Not sure how much more I can take of this.

I was in my local town earlier and this woman was talking to her friend chatting away, she had her dog, a sausage dog on a lead, you know the kind, this big German Sheppard comes over and tries to give it one, while it was on the lead, woman didn't do a thing carried on talking while her little black and tan sausage was getting a right seeing to.

Could be an analogy for RL's ownership of villa. Standing there talking as it gets given a good seeing too.

I think we need Dave Cooper on this thread to tell everyone to stop pissing and moaning and get behind the team. Arsenal's confidence is sky-high having won six on the trot, what exactly were people expecting today?

I still think there's a player in Albrighton. He's too much of a confidence player and I think he needs good management and coaching. If there is one thing McLeish has proved it is that he's poor at bringing on attacking players.

[Fergal]

It's so heart breaking. If MoN had had a Director of Football to work with, someone who could negotiate a contract, put players on a contract that fits their ability and age we could have maintained ourselves as a top six club.  Instead we had a situation where he signed shit players on top wages for long contracts that emptied the bank.
That is the frustrating thing for me.  We came so close but the arrogance of those at the top of the club fucked it up and keep fucking it up by refusing to correct another mistake.

Well, we could have at least given it a go.

[PaulWinch again]

Well we've come out as we finished the first half, fucking bollocks. Also some consideration needs to be made to the fact, Mcleish might play some of the youngsters but he is killing their confidence. Look at Albrighton, he looks hopeless at the moment.

[CJ]

YYYYEEEESSS. A corner

Didn't someone say that it was Faulkner who negotiated the contracts before he was CEO?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

McLeish is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, but Lerner still get's off far too easily.

[Irish villain]

Glad you liked that Villanation. We have to make our own fun in these tough times!

[PaulWinch again]

Gardner on for the completely ineffective Herd.
