Arsenal v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[villan from luton]

Plenty of clubs in danger all the way up to West Ham. I think we might just make it but it will go down to the last two games.

And then Mr Lambert's services will no longer be required and next season we can start afresh.

.....yet again!!

And who do you suggest we get in for next season if that happens? Maybe we can chant for Martinez last game of season and then moan next season at the same time of season

Norwich and fulham winning today gives them quite a cushion and it means 2 more wins should be enough for both - i think we are probably looking at 3 from the bottom 4 .

We should stick with Lambert regardless. The problems at villa run much deeper than the man in the dug-out. Imagine who the board would appoint to replace Lambert?

Why should we stick with him? He and his coaching staff after six months in the job have been an unmitigated disaster.

"The confidence is there, that's for sure. And we are playing well enough. The way they are playing is a very, very high level.

While i thought we played ok and there were some positives i cant quite see how lambert can think we are playing at a very very high level ?

[Greg N'Ash]

depends what happens tomorrow. Newcastle or southampton winning will drag them clear for the time being. At the moment i'd say its 3 from 7 (sunderland downwards)

Reading the comments of Arsenal fans on the Guardian report of the match, all bemoaning how tough it is following Arsenal etc etc, I snapped.

"Oh, it's so hard, supporting Arsenal"" ... why is following this club so tough?" yada yada yada, as you all compose angry tweets to share with Piers Morgan.

Take a look at the majority of the other teams in the various levels of professional football, especially since the introduction of the Champions League, the golden teat you suckle off year after year.

Ninety percent of you haven't got the first idea what "hard" or "tough" is in following a football team, you bunch of cossetted, moaning Tarquins.
Not the first idea.

I thought we created chances and looked bright on the break, and gave arsenal a decent game , far better than the shit we saw against wigan , southampton bradford and millwall.

We defended too deep at times and again conceded late on , defensively i thought bennett wasnt too bad against walcott and although i have been very critical of lambert i think we gave a reasonable account of ourselves today.

Because we have had an awful lot of instability since 2010. Also, I don't trust Randy when it comes to appointing managers. I do feel Lambert could get it right eventually whereas bringing somebody in means we will be in transition yet again, re-assessing players, perhaps changing our recruitment policy yet again. At least we have some clarity with Lambert. he won't tolerate the Ireland's of this world whereas a new manager will have to give everybody a clean slate. let Lambert clear the place out in the summer and maybe if Randy opened up the chequebook Lambert might find a few more Bentekes.

Well said.

Anyone know what was up with Vlaar?

[Clampy]

I thought it was just about the right result today but we did ok, but some careless defending let us down. I don't know why but i think we'll be ok.

[villan from luton]

Vlaar got a knock on his calf in training
