Aston Villa v Arsenal Match Thread

Someone please try and convince me that this isn't worse than under McLeish. Because I'm bloody struggling. Absolutely staggered Lambert isn't under unbearable pressure.

I never thought that things could be that bad again, but they do seem to be.

[Nev]

I don't go to games very often anymore.

I didn't go to the pub to watch tonight.

And now I'm switching off my computer.

I missed the first few minutes, what did El Ahmadi get booked for? I find it a bit weird as this ref has let a lot go for both sides.

Don't worry,  faulkner thinks we have made real progress this season .

I'm surprised to hear such negativity on here as many were saying we were safe in 11th and that Spam and Sunderland were worse than us and  PL was flavour of the month 2 weeks ago.

[supertom]

I'm a glutton for punishment, but I've had enough for today.

[JUAN PABLO]

well   I was expected it

but we hope we might just put in a proper performance , the  fans really deserve it

but no  , its Lambert as our manager , out of depth

[usav]

My prediction: we will huff and puff for the first few minutes of the second half, but ultimately it will be fruitless and we will lose by 3 or 4.

[Rigadon]

I feel the last drops of good will towards Lambert might be exiting the glass

Yep, that cup runeth dry all right.

[Tuscans]

Fair do's.....the forwards don't move anywhere when the midfield have the ball. Who can blame them though

[PaulWinch again]

We're just a really poor side. It would be nice if we came out in the second half and actually had a go at them.

[Matt Collins]

That routine of having a couple of half chances before conceding two quick fire goals half way through the first half in front of the Holte End is really starting to get in my tits

[Tucson Villain]

2-6 if i remember rightly Tony..."Always look on the bright side of life"

That's the one.   It was truly our first big tonking of the eighties if I recall.

I remember it well, we had Arsenal fans on our coach just to rub it in even more.

[themossman]

Next half is crucial for us. If we chuck the towel in then after suarez's inevitable bag of goals we could be down there with a shocking goal difference like last year.

[TonyD]

We can't even be arsed to boo with any conviction.

Bo!

[Goldie.7]

7 goals in 10 home games

and we need 3 against these in 45mins

Can we?

Check the odds.
