For those who missed it. According to my Arsenal mate if you sign up for Arsenal TV basic (its free) they show the full game a day or so afterwards.

To be honest i thought Arsenal came out to play nasty and intimidate our players and the ref.

I have no idea why they did it, but for Wenger to be complaining about the way the game played its nuts, it was his side that set the tone right from the off.

Unnecessary because they have the quality to just play football.

I noticed you on the Guardian post-match thread giving it some good honest analysis.
And, yes, the Arse fans are somewhat rebellious and one-eyed.

Just got back - great day - superb result.

Seeing Tony Moon running through  reminded me of Sir Dennis against Liverpool in 81 - with his beard and everything.

It was ace - there is a reason why we all love football and the villa - today was one of them days !!

Well, i'm shocked. Nearly as big a surprise as Wenger blaming the ref for his team getting twatted.

And has anyone else noticed how quiet Albion and small heath fans have suddenly become? Or is it just me who is the lucky one.

Albion are one of my tips to go down this year.

Not sure if they will drop but i think they will struggle , certainly see them in the bottom 6 .

I've been tipping them since the tail end of last season. One shot on target in injury time today apparently.

[Breezeblock]

That was fuckin' brilliant!  Roll on the bindippers!

Great result well done lads can't wait for the Chelsea game now.

The best thing about today for me? I thought quite a few players underperformed. Weimann was off for much of the game, Benteke's touch was good but perhaps wasn't at his dynamic best, Westwood's passing and movement weren't as consistent as they usually are, Delph's passing was a little off (even if his dynamism and bursting runs were magnificent), apart from the runs Gabby had one of those hot and cold games, we hoofed it a bit panickingly (to invent a word) - and, hopefully, we might yet get a no. 10 type in which would help our ball retention and incisiveness on the front foot. And Tonev didn't even play, which will add to the quality on the pitch I think. If we underperform as well as that, I can't wait to see us perform.

I was at the emirates and I agree with you assessment Monty.

An Arsenal fan goes into a travel agents and says "I need a holiday", the agent says "you can't beat a good Villa this time of year"
